The net value Of the import trade
for the year is estimated at 2si,74s.45s
haikwan taels (s1sS. .1Os. .77S). being an ad-
vance OF 55.1s9122 haikwan taels over
the previous year and double the flg-
ures for 1890. The trade in cotton
goods. which had remained practically
stationary for three years. also made
a great jump, the value having risen

55O to 1O3, ,456,O4s haikwan taels (s7S,-

The most significant figures Of all,
however, are those which tell of the
marvellous progress of railway build
ing in the Mongolian Kingdom. the
greater portion of the material for
which came from the United States.
1t is also interesting to note the mark
ed increase in the imports Of those
articles which denote desire for COM
fort and luxury, such as cigars. clocks,
watches. window glass, lamps, matches,
needles, perfumery. soap. sugar and
umbrellas. the bulk of which were sup
piled by England and the United States.
