SHIPPING BREVITIES

Vessels and Cargo

The results of operating the har- bours are equally, satisfactory. During the year, 5,560 vassels called at the various ports and landed cargo of 3,814,597 tops, both of which are re- cord figures. There was an increase of over 500,000 tons in the volume of cargo (other than coal) shipped, this being largely attributable to the great- er production of food-products and skins. On the other hand, the con shipments fell off by 430,101 tons, a re- duction which is attributed to increas શહે competition and the growing num ber of oil-burning vessels. It may also help to explain the poor results obtain- ed with the electrified lines operating in the coal area. Imports were valued
