5. This table shows a decrease in British Ocean-going Shipping of 277 ships, or 6.9 per cent., and a decrease of 963,106 tons, or 13.0 per cent.

British River Steamers show an increase of 33 ships of 32,141 tons or 0.5 per cent. in numbers and 0.8 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to these steamers making a greater number of trips.

Foreign Ocean-going vessels have decreased by 526 ships of 1,569,000 tons or 14.3 per cent. in numbers and 22.3 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to the absence of Enemy Ships and also the withdrawal from the Eastern Trade of the Pacific Mail Company's Steamers.

Foreign River Steamers show an increase of 115 ships of 14,877 tons, or 6.0 per cent. in numbers and 1.6 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to these steamers making more trips and also the addition of the S.S. Sheng Cheong.

Steam Launches in Foreign Trade show a decrease of 34 ships of 2,473 tons, or 0.5 per cent. in numbers and 10.3 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to one of the regular launches being off the run for two months.

Junks in Foreign Trade show a decrease of 377 vessels of 25,640 tons, or 1.6 per cent. in numbers and 8.7 per cent. in tonnage. This decrease is probably due to the restrictions on junks arriving and clearing.

In Local Trade (i.e., trade between places within the waters of the Colony) there is an increase in Steam Launches of 8,764 vessels with a decrease in tonnage of 256,650 tons or 19 per cent. in numbers and 20 per cent. in tonnage. This is explained by the fact that smaller launches have taken the place of the larger launches which are being used as examination vessels.

In Local Trade Junks there is shown an increase of 6,465 vessels of 149,219 tons or 17.2 per cent. in numbers and 11.0 per cent. in tonnage. This is explained by the fact that a better control is now exercised as these craft have to report themselves and get a permit to pass outward through the examination service.

6. The actual number of individual Ocean-going vessels of European construction entered during 1915 was 724, of which 310 were British and 414 were Foreign. In 1914 the corresponding figures were 825, 385 British and 440 Foreign.

These 724 ships measured 1,824,395 tons. They entered 3,824 times and gave a collective tonnage of 7,181,699 tons. Thus 101 fewer ships entered 402 fewer times, and gave a collective tonnage reduced by 1,286,910 tons, an average of 3,201.2 tons per entry.

This is due to these steamers making more trips and also the addition of the S.S. Sheng Cheong. Steam Launches in Foreign Trade show a decrease of 34 ships of 23,473 tons, or 0'5 per cent. in numbers and 103 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to one of the regular launches being off the run for two months. Junks in Foreign Trade show a decrease of 377 vessels of 256,040 tons, or 16 per cent. in numbers and 8.7 per cent. in tonnage.
