SHIPPING

In the many changes which have come over Russia in recent years one is apt to lose sight of the scale, of her activities. In 1912 the Volga feut consisted of 3,300 steamers and 6,998 other vessels, and the tonnage of this fleet was 8,500,000 tona. In 1913, 26,000,000 tons of goods were transported by the "Volga," while In the same year all the railways of Russia carried not more than 130,000,000 tons.
