From the report on the trade of the Consular district of Tainan, South Formosa, for 1902, we learn that during that period out of the total vale of exports, £49,508, the value of sugar alone represented 414,528. To China and Hongkong, 136,124 cwis. of brown, value £37,127, were exported. The report states 660684, and 14, 106 cuts of white sugar, value
