A comparative shipping return for the years 1898 and 1897 shows an increase of 329 British ships and a decrease of 439,528 British This numerical increase, to- gether with a tonnage decrease, is to bo attributed to the number of small vessels which, since the opening of the West River in June Lust, have been plying on that route, and increasing the number of entries and clearances under the bending of River Steamors without a proportionate increase of totinage. British cecan-going steamers alond for the year show a decrcass of 201 entries

ries of 275,360 tons,

Sailing ships show a numerical increase for the year of 209 eatrics, but a tonnage increase of only 13,460 tons; under this heading are coprisal the larchas d Ughter which vero towed up the West River, anal the remark abova applies in the ense of these vessels also.

In the case of Foreign shipping, that under the Japanese flag has been more than doubled,

increased From 146,315 having tons to 209,658 tons. German shipping

showrs à decrease of 43,000 tons; the ro maiuder. gonerally, show more or less sub- stantial increases,

The actual r number of ships of European construction-exclusive of River steamers which entered the pore in 1867, was 603, being 320 British and 272 Foreign. In the previous year the numbors were 326 British and 4 Foreign

$

Looking a little further, and comparing with 1800, wo find, with regard to the omen-going ships, that there was an in- crense in the numbers of ships, and a decrease in the total tonnago, indicating smaller slips; together with this there was an increase in the total cargo carried, indi- eating fullur ships.

Smaller ships protably means lessen od expenses (dues, &, being paid on regiator cons), and fuller ships, increased earnings, and these two, taken together, point fairly conclusivoly to a good year for shipping, notwithstanding the lowness of freight at

one period. During

the your, 9,044 vessels of European construction, aggregating 12.124.393 registered tous, carried 7,144,737 tous, made up as fellowa -
