It is recalled that a former order from Chungking forbade the export many native goods, but the new regulations provide that with the curn ai the four main native namely, bristles, wood oil, tea, and mining products, all other motive goods, the transportation of which to Shanghai was formerly banned, can now be transported to this city fcr re-export to foreign Countries, provided enough foreign exébahge has been furnished. By doing so, it is stated, Chungking is trying to balance its international trade.
Fourteen kinds of native goods are thus allowed to be transported to this port from the interior of "free China" for re-exportation, including medicines, leather, furs, tobacco, lumber, cocoons, silk, hemp and cotton goods. The Government will not only allow exemption of the export and transit duties, but also eficourage owners of the cargo to have their goods insured by the Central Trust Bureau. Once the fact is established that the goods are destined for foreign countries, payment of the war insurance money may even be delayed.
