The distribution of the imports in China is very irregular. In 1907, for example, Tientsin took almost exactly two-thirds of the total imports, and in 1910 it still took about 30 per coat of the whole. Newchwang takes the next largest amount, and other north-son era ports import 'in material amounts. Canton, Shanghai, and other ports take practically none.
