there was a rapid but regular rise from about 2,550,000 tons to about 5,770,000 rapidly went down again to about 3,150,000; but since 1874 it has as rapidly risen again until, at the com mencement of the present year, it reaches a point higher than any it has previously touched, namely, 4,250,000 tons.
Both the jank tonnage and the foreign i shipping tonnage have contributed to these satisfactory results; the latter more than the former. In 1867 the foreign shipping tonnage stood at nearly 1,200,000 tons, and, after sinking to 1,000,000 in the following year, has since regularly risen, with the exception of a fall in 1874, to rather more than double its amount in 1867, namely, 2,450,000 tons in 1877 against nearly 1,200,000 ten years previously.
