In Steamships not exceeding 60 tons employed in Foreign trade, there is a decrease of 167 ships with an increase in tonnage of 6,636 tons or 2.5 per cent. in numbers and 3.4 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to larger launches being employed in Foreign trading and a number of small launches being laid up owing to the unsettled state of Canton where many small launches were commandeered by the armies.
Junks in Foreign trade show a decrease of 1,370 vessels, and a decrease of 583,639 tons or 5.0 per cent. in numbers and 20.1 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to the number of Junks held up during the Seamen's Strike.
In Local trade (i.e. between places within the waters of the Colony) there is an increase in Steam-Launches of 42,168 or an increase of 1,729,438 tons or 7.1 per cent. in numbers and 12.2 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to a greater number of launches employed, towing and transporting workmen and material for reclamation work.

In Steamships not exceeding 60 tons employed in Foreign trade, there is a decrease of 167 ships with an increase in tonnage of 4,636 tons or 12.9 per cent. in numbers and 0.6 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to larger launches being employed in Foreign trading and a number of small launches being laid up owing to the unsettled state of Canton where many small launches were com- mandeered by the armies.
Junks in Foreign trade show a decrease of 1,370 vessels, and a decrease of 583,639 tons or 519 per cent. in numbers and 99 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to the number of Junks held up during the Seamen's Strike.
In Local trade (ie. between places within the waters of the Colony) there is an increase in Steam-Launches of 42,168 or an increase of 1,729,438 tons or 7·1 per cent. in numbers and 12-2 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to a greater number of launches employed, towing and transporting workmen and material for reclamation work.
