OF this total Of 81 $50, 800 haikwan taels, rep
resenting the value of the four articles named
and reported as having reached China in 1901.
G.195146 haikwan taels' value, or - per cent,
reached New Chwang. and all of it except 3,1SI
haikwan taels by transshipment from other
ports chiefly Shanghai The total value of these
four articles which entered China in 1901 is, as
already stated, p 400 1863 haikwan taels, out of
a grand total of %. 529 SOC haikwan taels' worth
of imports from the United States in that year.
The facts here indicated would seem TO justify
an estimate that about one-fOurth of the Amer
lean goods entering China ultimately reach the
treaty port of New-Chwang for distribution.
That this importation OF American products
into New-Chwang has had steady growth Is
shown by the following table. which presents
the value Of American drills. jeans, sheetings
and kerosene oil imported into New-Chwang in
each year from 1896 1901, the very small
figure for the year 1900 being of course, due to
the war conditions which existed at that time.

TRADE NTH M1NCHURIA.
Its Importance to This Country
Shozcn By Official Figures.

Washington. May (SpeciaD.-An the depart
ments of the government are keeping a close
watch upon the volume Of American trade
which would he affected by closing the open
door to any part of Mongolia. and all sources
of authentic information are being studied with
that end in view. Apparently about one-fourth
of the exports from the United States to China
ultimately reach the port of New-Chwang. the
treaty port through which Northeastern China.
including Manchuria. receives most of it's for
eign merchandise. This is the conclusion OF
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, after care
full study of the statistics Of the imports Of
China as presented by the annual Yellow Book.
entitled Maritime Customs Of China: Returns
of Trade and Trade Reports for the Year
190O-'01."
An accurate determination of the question OF
the share of American imports into China
which enter ew-Chwang is difficult because OF
the fact that nearly all of the foreign mer-
chandise reaching New-Chwang is first received
at some other port of China. chiefly Shanghai,
and thence transshipped to New-Chwang- An
other difficulty lies in the fact that the Chinese
customs reports do not indicate the country o.
origin of the articles imported. excep: in a few
articles. Four articles specifically named
as of American production, viz: American drills.
American jeans American sheetings and Amer
lean oil These four articles however, appar-
entity form very large proportion of the i'm
ports into New Chwang of American products.
Statements OF exports to China show that cot
ton goods and mineral oils form about So per
cent of our exports to China BY examina-
ton, therefore of the figures of Chinese imports
OF American drills. jeans. sheetings and kero-
sene oil and the transshipment thereof to New
Chwang it is possible to get fairly accurate
estimate Of the value Of American products
reaching New-Chwang, the principal port of
entry for the country in question.
The Chinese figures analyzed by the Bureau
of Statistics show that the value of cotton
goods imported into New-Chwang direct from
the United States only 3.7S1 haikwan taels
