The detailed tables of transits during the last two scal years show that, in 1925-26,. 6,197 ships went through the canal, as com- pared with 4,678 in 1924-25. The cargo tonnage was in excess of the registered net tonnage of of these ships, the cargo transited in 1925-26 being 26,037,448 and, in 1924-25, 29,968,448 tons." The figures show a flat increase in number of transits, net tonnage and cargo tonnage for each month over the corresponding month in the previous year:

Greatest Traffic in History. The report notes that "in the first six months of 1926 the cargo, tonnage through the canal was the greatest in any six months in the canal's history regardless of the nature of the cargo, which as noted above, however, recorded an increase of oil shipments. cargo tonnage in these six months was. 13,881,860 tons.
