This table shows a decrease in British Ocean-going Shipping of 267 ships, or 7.4 per cent, and a decrease of 489,834 tons, or 7.1 per cent.

This is due to several of the Coasting Steamers having been chartered by the Government, and the withdrawal of the P. & O. Intermediate Steamers.

British River Steamers have increased by 371 ships and 104,198 tons, or 5.2 per cent in numbers and 2.5 per cent in tonnage, which is due to the fact that two steamers were added to the West River Trade.

Foreign Ocean-going Vessels have increased by 124 ships or 3.3 per cent, but have decreased by 163,873 tons or 2.4 per cent. This is explained by the increase in Japanese and Chinese ships of smaller tonnage.

Foreign River Steamers show an increase of 396 ships and 111,050 tons, or 17.3 per cent in numbers and 11.7 per cent in tonnage (previously stated as 173 per cent and 17 per cent). This is due to several steamers which were previously on the Canton-West River trade having been placed on the Hongkong-West River trade carrying rice from July to December.

This table shows a decrease in British Ocean-going Shipping of 267 ships, or 74 per cent, and a decrease of 489,834 tons, or 71 per cent.

This is due to several of the Coasting Steamers having been chartered by the Government, and the withdrawal of the P. & 0. Intermediate Steamers.

British River Steamers have increased by 371 ships and 104,198 tons, or 52 per cent in numbers and 25 in tonnage, which is due to the fact that two steamers were added to the West River Trade.

Foreign Ocean-going Vessels have increased by 124 ships of 3·3 per cent, but have decreased by 163,873 tons or 24 per cent. This is explained by the increase in Japanese and Chinese ships of smaller tonnage.

Foreign River Steamers shew an increase of 396 ships and 111,050 tons, or 173 per cent in numbers and 17 per cent in tonnage. This is due to several steamers which were previously on the Canton-West River trade having been placed on the Hongkong- West River trade carrying rice from July to December.
