There was a increase of $830.62 ss compared with the Revenue of 1895 and a decrease in the Expenditure of $5,969.10, the balance of Revenue over Expenditure being $56,999.10, an increase of 86,789.72 above that shown in 1805.
4,576 steamers, 100 sailing vessels, and 23,848 junks entered during the year, giving a daily average of 94 vessels, as against 8 in 185.
A comparison between the years 1885. 1896 shows a decrease of 172 British ships, but an increase of 168,657 Britiult tops. The decrease is mainly due to the river steamer Wing Teng (to which reference was made in the 189 report) which made this year only 12 entries and 11 departures, against 114 round trips in 1895. Exclusive of all river steamers the return would show an increase of 30 British ships and 120,783 British tons.
Another cause of apparent decrease in British ships compared with 1895 will be four in the number of Chinese-owned rossels which appeared in 1895 ender the British flag and which have since returned
We find that the total import trade of 1896 was represented by 34,525 ves- ecla aggregating 8,051,085 tons carrying 5,138,903 tons of cargo, of which 5,293,603 tons were discharged in Hongkong.
