288 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES: In 1926 the Yugoslav free zone handled in the case of imports from abroad, i. e., imports from countries other than Greece, 10,149 tons of salt for the Yugoslav salt monopoly, 107 tons of tobacco for the Yugoslav tobacco monopoly, and small amounts of nickel-silver, cement, and machinery destined for the Yugoslav State. In the ex- ports from Yugoslavia, the nature of the trade was more or less the same as in 1927. The foreign traffic of Yugoslavia, i. e., imports from countries other than Greece and exports to countries other than Greece, which passes through Saloniki, either through the Greek or the Yugoslav free zone, is not at the present time of a very large volume. In 1926 this traffic represented 12 per cent and in 1927 10 per cent of the total traffic which passed through the Greek free zone, including certain commodi- ties that were permitted to go directly through the Yugoslav free zone, In 1927, 79,610 tons of cargo entered the Greek free zone from Yugoslavia, of which 73,414 tons came by rail and the remainder by sea. Of the imports by rail, 44,389 tons were for Greek consumption, 23,640 tons were destined for export, and 5,385 tons remained in the free zone at the close of the year. In addition, there were imported into the Yugoslav free zone from Yugoslavia certain items such as cattle, sheep, fuel wood, coal, hay, barrel staves, and minerals, all of which, with the exception of 120 tons of minerals, were for con- sumption in Greece. The 120 tons of minerals, with the 23,640 tons of export cargo mentioned above, makes a total of 23,760 tons of Yugoslav cargo destined for abroad which passed through the free zone. General merchandise exported from the Greek free zone into Yugoslavia amounted to 14,155 tons in 1927. In addition to this there were 18,153 tons of salt, destined to the Yugoslav salt mon- opoly, which was permitted to go directly through the Yugoslav free zone and does not appear in the Greek free zone statistics, This makes a total of 32,308 tons and, together with the exports, namely, 23,760 tons, a total traffic of 56,068 tons. In 1926 the total traffic amounted to 65,223 tons. The following table shows in more graphic form the foreign trade of Yugoslavia which passed through the free zones at Saloniki in 1927, together with comparative figures for 1926:
