The kingdom of Siam.. . under that flag.Two Chinese-owned steamers trade between Bang-kok and Singapore under the British flag, but lat-terly that flag has dropped to the third place in thecustoms statistics, as the number of Norwegiansteamers has increased greatly during the past twoyears. This is due to the Chinese exporters of ricedesiring to have steamers under their own controlso as to take every advantage of the market whenfavorable either in Singapore, Hong-Kong, or anyother neighboring port. As many as twenty vesselshave been in the Menam at one time during the pastyear, and as they discharge and load by means ofcargo boats the river is at times alive with craft andpresents a most busy appearance. The vessels donot load up at Bangkok. They must cross the barlight and fill up at the outer anchorage—KohsichangIsland or Anghin Head, according to the monsoon.Lorchas or large sailing lighters with a few steamtug-barges are engaged in carrying cargo to thoseanchorages, to be there transshipped.

The caravan route fromChina to Chieng Mai and Nan is of no importance.The travellers coming that way are mere hucksterswho buy and sell as they travel along. They willsoon have to give way before the importation ofEuropean goods, which in a s
