British river steamers show an increase of 228 ships and an increase of 18,314 tons or 43.0% in numbers and 16.3% in tonnage. This increase in ships and tonnage is due to the vessels again running on the Canton and West rivers.
Foreign river steamers show a decrease of 1,036 ships and a decrease of 345,143 tons. This decrease in ships and tonnage is due to the foreign river steamers not running until the latter part of the year.
In steamships not exceeding 60 tons employed in foreign trade there is a decrease of 2,557 ships with a decrease in tonnage of 78,167 tons. This decrease in launches and tonnage is due to the boycott in China generally.
A comparison between the years 1925 and 1926 is given in the following table:—
