It is reported that railways in the North have stimulated export trade in produce of low value from dis- tricts which formerly were unable to compete owing to the high cost of transport. As an in- stance of this, the export of beans and peas is estimated to reach fully 200,00 tons by the end of May; no doudt the excellent hartvest in Manchuria is to some extent responsible for the great increase over former years, but increassed facilities of transport have had no small in- fluence in developing this trade.
