Before the WAT China Germany stood first, second. and the United States third in the quantity of rattans purchased at Singapore. Now the United States takes the lead, with China and Great Britain second and third. In value, how- ever, the American purchases have always ranked first. In 1915 the imports of rattan into Sing- apore amounted to approximately -- 425,000 piculs (5,300 long tons). of which 406,000 piculs (24,165 tons) were re-exported.
