First Seven Months.-Here is seen a continuation, more especially in British vessels, of the steady increase which has been noted during past years, amounting, in the case of British ships, to 206 ships of 408,109 tons, or 8.5 per cent. in numbers and 8.4 per cent. in tonnage, compared with 6.4 per cent. and 8.6 per cent. respectively in 1913.

Foreign Ocean-going vessels increased by 119 ships of 624,458 tons, or 4.4 per cent. in numbers and 11.9 per cent. in tonnage, compared with 7.1 per cent. and 7.9 per cent. respectively in 1913.

The average tonnage of the British ships entering decreased from 1,995.2 to 1,992.4, while that of Foreigners increased from 1,948.9 to 2,080.9.

I should like to mention the large decrease shown in the Junk trade, which amounts to 1,731 vessels (8.5 per cent.) of 28,122 tons (1.3 per cent.). I am satisfied, for reasons which will appear later, that this decrease is not borne out by facts, but is really due to the increasing habit on the part of the Junk Masters of failing to report themselves.
