China 31,057,684,903 29,420,482,174 Shanghai 11,619,179,692 11,403,108,136
It'will be recalled that a telegram from Peking not long ago stated that the revenue for the first half of this year showed a falling off as compared with the same period in 1922. We do not know whence this statement came, but the figures we give are from a source that can hardly be impeached.
