Increase" of the dividend, A White Paper issued by the Foreign Office' and 'dealing with the Canal traßße during 1925 shows that this optimilem was well [founded.'

As a matter of fact, the amount o cargo passing through the water- way exceeded by 802,000 tons the previous record total, the, Agure, being 26,578,000 tons, comparad with 26.776.000 tons in 1913: The aerense is in merchandise carried from south to north, which amount- ed to 17,776,000 tons, compared with 14,456,000 tons in the last pre-war year, the outward, truffle (8,802,000 tons) being still, more than 3,000,000 tons below the 1913 figure, edal cargoes being down by 513,000 tons, and machinery; etc., Com- close on 400,000 tons. ared with 1913, the quantity of mineral oil from the East has in- while creused by 1,369,000 tons,
