The present summary of actual freight returns shows, however, that

to

freights, which applied chiefly Transatlantic routes on which com- paratively larger ships are required, by no means equally benefited the entire merchant fleet in proportion to the freight average quoted.

Return from sailing ships. with and without motors to foreign ports In 1925 amounted to kr. 7,700,000, which represents 3 per cent. of the years' total freight earnings abroad; in 1926, as far an can at present be estimated, there is a de- crease of comparatively the samei proportion as for steamship trade.

The total freight earnings abroad, which in 1925 amounted to a little less than kr. 219,000,000 (inclusive of monthly freights estimated, as gross freights) may for 1926 oc- cordingly be estimated at kr. 180,000,000 to kr. 185,000,000.
