Junks in Foreign trade show a decrease of 1,602 vessels, and a decrease of 289,094 tons or 6.1 per cent. in numbers and 9.9 per cent. in tonnage. This decrease in vessels and tonnage is due to a number of Foreign trading Junks being laid up on trading in the Waters of the Colony owing to the unsettled state on the Canton and West Rivers.
In Local trade (i.e. between places within the waters of the Colony) there is an increase in Steam-Launches of 65,990 and an increase in tonnage of 1,173,588 tons or 10.3 per cent. in numbers and 74 per cent in tonnage. This increase in launches and tonnage is due to a number of Foreign trading launches now trading in the waters of the Colony owing to the unsettled state on the Canton and West Rivers.
Junks in Local Trade show an increase of 4,515 vessels and an increase of 193,918 tons or 24.7 per cent. in numbers and 17.3 per cent. in tonnage. This increase in vessels and tonnage is due to a number of Foreign trading Junks now trading in the waters of the Colony owing to the unsettled state on the Canton and West Rivers.

6. The actual number of individual Ocean-going vessels of European construction during the year 1923 was 1,186 of which 529 were British and 657 Foreign. In 1922 the corresponding figures were 1,092 of which 410 were British and 682 were Foreign.
These 1,186 Ships measured 3,468,321 tons. They entered 6,321 times and gave a collective tonnage of 12,979,033 tons.
Thus 94 more ships entered 1,002 more times and gave a collective tonnage greater by 1,978,285 tons, an average of 1,974.3 tons per entry.
