SIR,

nected with the Department under my control:-

SHIPPING.
2. It is satisfactory to find that the trade of the Colony in 1869 shows an improvement on that
of the previous year, and although the difference of grand total of European shipping and of Junks is but 23,593 tons, the excess in British ships is 45 vessels measuring 41,615 tons, and in Foreign ship- ping, exclusive of Chinese, is 135 vessels with a capacity of 95,230 tons, or a total of 180 ships and 136,845 tons, the difference being made up by loss on the Junk Trade.
3. This large increase of trade is mostly due to the extended traffic between the Colony and Australasia, the United States, the Phillipine Islands, and Japan.
4. The trade between this and British India remains nearly the same.
5. The amount of tonnage arriving during the current year will probably exceed that of: any similar period during the Colony's existence.

6. The successful opening of the Suez Canal, the anticipated doubling the number of steamers belonging to the Messageries Impériales, and to the Pacific Mail Company, together with two newly formed local Steam-ship Companies will add immensely to the activity, progress, and it is to be hoped, wealth of the Island.
