All the imports from Rumania come into Saloniki by sea from Black Sea ports. In 1927 these imports consisted of 25,340 tons of mineral oil, 8,256 tons of wheat, 1,373 tons of other cereals, 2,853 tons of dried vegetables, and 1,703 tons of chemicals. Practi- cally all of these imports were cleared through the Greek customhouse for Greek consumption. The exports to Rumania from the free zone in 1927 consisted of pharmaceutical and chemical products and other manufactures. BULGARIA For lack of a direct railway connection between Bulgaria and Saloniki the free zone at Saloniki does not materially benefit Bulgaria at the present time. Of the imports into the Greek free zone in 1927— namely, 5,220 tons—3,123 tons consisted of wheat, 527 tons of other cereals, 324 tons of cotton, and 478 tons of sugar. All of these imports came to Saloniki by sea from Bulgarian Black Sea ports and were destined for consumption in Greece. The exports from the free zone into Bulgaria consisted chiefly of manufactured goods.
