Ciera camphor production secieneed corisiderably3) in 1 1918, owing to the fact 
“that the workers obtained better wages in other industries. In 1917/18, Formosa produced 
60000 piculs of crude camphor, against 89000 piculs in the previous year. ‘As the 
‘native camphor refineries and celluloid factories demanded 72000 piculs, only 8000 piculs 
would have remained for export (2), whereas in reality double this quantity was sent — 
abroad. The dealers were obliged to refuse orders and there was a scarcity in the © 
enity itself. The prices were from Yen 2.10 to. 2.40 per lb. During the first six 
months of 1918, the exports: totalled 1422222 kin, to. the value of 2.9 bah Yen, 
distributed as follows: —
