the earlier year. The increase shown over the figures for 1909–703 ships of 298,319 tons, or 12.1 per cent. in numbers, and 8 per cent. in tonnage is due to the fact that the large Canton River Steamers have made more trips; that some of the small steamers have been transferred from the West River to the Canton run, and so run more frequently, and that many of the smaller steamers have made periodical excursion runs to ports other than their usual ones, while continuing to ply regularly on their usual runs.

Foreign Ocean Vessels have decreased by 6 ships or 0.14 per cent., while their collective tonnage has increased by 246,061 tons, or 3.1 per cent. This result is due to increases of 27, 19 and 42 ships under Japanese, Norwegian, and Chinese, respectively, which are counterbalanced by decreases of 26, 55, 14, 8 and 7 ships under German, Portuguese, Swedish, French and United States, respectively but the tonnage has generally increased, except under Portuguese, Swedish, and United States. The loss in numbers is due chiefly to Portuguese, where a fall of 55 ships involved only 14,655 tons, while that under German, of 26 ships, was accompanied by a rise in tonnage of 54,193 tons.

Foreign River Steamers have decreased by 36 ships (or 2.6 per cent) of 29,066 tons, (or 3.9 per cent). This is accounted for by the laying up for some four months of a Portuguese River Steamer, the "Sui Cheong", which previously plied regularly.

As in former years, I here insert a comparison between the shipping of the port twenty years ago and to-day. In 1890, 2,772 British ships, of 3,507,945 net register tons entered the port, against 10,745 ships, of 12,112,019 net register tons in 1910; an increase of 287.6 per cent in numbers and of 245.2 per cent in tonnage. These figures include Ocean and River Steamers and Ocean-going Sailing Ships (not junks). In the same way, Foreign Shipping, during the same period, has increased from 1,442 ships of 1,385,788 net register tons in 1890, to 5,646 ships of 8,810,585 net register tons; an increase of 291.3 per cent in numbers, and of 535.8 per cent in tonnage.

6. The actual number of individual Ocean Vessels of European type of construction entering during 1910 was 734, being 365 British and 369 Foreign. The corresponding figures for 1909 were 704, 336, and 368, respectively.
