MANY RECORDS FOR SOUTHAMPTON

PRE-EMINENCE IN PASSENGER TRADE

CARGO DEFICIENCY

Southampton, which for many yeara now has been the premier passenger port in the United King- dom, is still striding onwards, and the year 1928 once more saw the breaking of practically all previous records. -This is a remarkable tribute not only to the facilities which obtain at Southampton, but to the staff of the Southern Rallway, Company, whose duty it is to accem-

the tonnage entering the docks.

It is, for instance, one matter to attract tonnage and another matter to keep it. Efficiency in docks man- agement is a big contributory fac- tor in ensuring this, and it is in this respect that Souhampton is fortunate. And while mentioning facilities one must not be unmindful

of the efforts of the Southampton Harbour Board, "for unless they maintained the deep water channel at the required depth the big ships at least would never be able to reach their berths.

Although at the moment the Southern Railway Company have not announced the official statistics in regard to traffic at the docks dur ing the past year, a careful calcula- tion was made, which shows that under eleven out of the twelve head-

During the previous year the res pective totals were 16,414,900 tons and 16,737,000 tons; so that with the addition of the figures previous-and the Havro-Hamburg range, ac- ly mentioned, the aggregate for the past 12 months was about 17,260,- 000 tons inward, and 17,270,000 tons outward.

This substantial jump is extreme- ly satisfactory, but even so, the pot tonnage totals are quite as pleasing. In that case there was an increase of about 485,000 tons inward and 510,000 tons outward, thus the 8,668,200 tons inward and 8,640,500 tons outward in 1928 have been swelled to about 9,140,000 tons and 9,160,000 tons Trespectively.

their share amounts to as much as 70 per cent. The trade route be tween the North Atlantic district

The next three in the order of their Importance, are: North Atlantic district-Central America, north coast of South America and West Indies, together accounting for. 7.8 per cent.; Pacific district-Eastern Asia (China, Japan, Philippines, and East Indies) with 7.5 per cent.; and North Atlantic district-East coast of South America, with 6.7 per cent.
