THE SUEZ CANAL

Resson for the Decrease in British Tonnage.

A report issued by the Egyptian Goverment regarding the Suez Canal show that in 1919 the number of British ships using the canal decreased by 187 blow the figures for 1912, while Ger- min ships increased by 12 and French Vesela by 35. But this is regarded as of no significanes at Lloyd's and in ship. ping cirvie. In detail the figures for 1915 are as follow

British ships, 2,061, tonnago 14,172,817, wonga 130.112. showing" decrenso

in the number of ships of 387, in ten- mago of 900,480, and: Ih passengers of

6,733.

German shipa 778, tonnage 3,364,385. penger 31,701, showing an increase in the number of ships of 82.in tunnugo at 334,774, and in passeigres of 50%.

French ships 200, tonnag 981238, passengers B,923, showing an increase In the number of ships of 35, in tonnage of 129,395, and in passengers of 8,177,

Te is interesting to hote that the total of shipping using the Suez Canal in DB »hews, a dverenew in comparison, with 112 of 5287 ships, 201570 tons, and 20,020 passenger

The secretary as the London office of -the Suez Canal, Company, interviewed by Standard" reprefentative, said that no serious importance could be at- tached to the Sgures. Ho added :--| Shipping fluctuates from year to your. It happened that in 1912 the trade be tween England and the Far Fist was enormous, and the King visited India in 1912. The latter duct would probably atvount for a great necession in passen. ger traffic. In 1912 a great many British ships passed through the canal in bul last. That means that they curried coul

to Pet Suid or Mediterranean ports. and went on to folie and the Far East in ballast fra freights. They went through the canal empty of cargo and returned ladin..

* The reason of the number (uf, Gie- man and French shijs in that the mall corrying lines have increased the num- ber of their vessels and enlarged them, this increasing their tonnage. German and French ships are mostly liners, white British are, to a large extent tramps.”
