with the future potentiality of these places, and In order to do so we most "consider the ques- tion from a very much wider point of viaw, There are two new factors which have entirely changed the commercial situ,toa in the Far East. the first of these is the growth and ox- "pansjon of Japanese trade. In 1893 the value of Japanesé importé into China stood at, 17 million taels: fn 1995 their value bad risen to br.milliods. We have only to tera 10 statistics to see to what extent Niwchwang and Tien. tain bave been affected by this expansion. If we go back as far as 1889 we find that of the imports into Newchwang Hongkong was "16" sponsible for 85 per cent, and Japan for oply 5 per cent. By 1899 we find that the respective percentages bad moved to 377 and 336, and 'since then the movement has been in favour of Japan, which monopolizes over ga per cent.' of Nowchwang's direct import trade. When wa take the Ticaisio statistics for 900 we find that of the 40 million taels representing the value of the direct foreign importation 82 million taels represented those which came from Japan, and we note, funber, that amongst them the principal items, were cotton yam, cotton piece goods (abeetings, drills, T-cloths), copper, matches, railway sleepers, and, limbal - These facis mean the rise of a new trade can. *tre, of a new emporium,” which from its vicinity will have advantager'uvor those distant countries upon which Chion has had hitherto to rely, and for which' Shanghai has so long scled as the distributing treaty port. The secood factor is the rallway system of China, the development of which, like that of Japanese trade; lies almost entirely within the last ten years its significance can beessity it. lustrated without going very far into details. Newchwang, Tientsin, and Bankow BED now partially, and will soon be completely, linked up with their respective "hinterlands" in such a way that their value as places of export. will be yasily increated, and consequently their capacity to develop as places of import will cateris paribus, be increased also.
