VESSELS. BRITISH CREW. U. S. A. AND EUROPEANS. ASIATICS. 1914. | 1915 1914. 1915. 1914. 1915. British, 385 | 310 866 | 901 135,214 | 128,160 Foreign, 440 | 414 1,571 | 1,155 24,428 | 10,791 Total, 825 | 724 2,437 | 2,056 159,642 | 138,951Hence in British ships :-
1914. 1915. 0.25% 0.22% of the crews were British. 0.51% 0.60% of the crews were other Europeans. 84.33% 85.83 % of the crews were Asiatics.And in Foreign ships:-
1914. 1915. 1.08 % 0.91 % of the crews were British. 6.93 % 8.53 % of the crews were other Europeans. 81.98 % 90.56% of the crews were Asiatics.2.-Trade.
10. The figures and statistics which here follow are not necessarily strictly accurate as they are derived from the reports by masters of ships, and not from ship's manifest, as they would be in the case of a port that was not free, and where all cargo would have to pass through a customs house.
Imports. Here is shown a decrease of 280,750 tons, or 6.7 per cent. which is of course due to the war entirely. This decrease is almost all a shortage from European countries as the local trade has been quite up to the normal, except in the case of Coal. Increases are shown in the following:- Beans, Rice and Timber whilst decreases are shown under the following, Coal, Cotton, Flour, Hemp, Kerosene both Case and Bulk, Liquid Fuel and General.
Beans. Here the increase is very slight and shows that the trade being a local one has kept normal.
Coal. A very large decrease in Coal has occurred, and this is naturally due to the falling off in large Ocean Vessels taking Bunker Coal, and with less demand, so there has been less importation. No coal has been imported from Great Britain, but an increase is shown from Chinese Ports.
