Junks in Foreign trade show an increase of 2,072 vessels, and an increase of 679,825 tons or 12-1 per cent in numbers and 25'8 per cent in tonnage. This increase is due to the improvement of trade between this Port and Canton, Macao, East and West River Ports.
In Local trade (i.e. between places within the waters of the Colony) there is a decrease in Steam-Launches of 26,794 and a decrease in tonnage of 454,540 tons or 3-8 per cent in numbers and 26 per cent in tonnage. This decrease in numbers and tonnage is due to a number of launches being laid up during the year on account of the high cost of fuel.
Junks in Local Trade show an increase of 5,199 vessels and an increase of 24,412 tons or 22'8 per cent in numbers and 18 per cent in tonnage. This increase in vessels and tonnage is due prin- cipally to the improvement of trade and the installing of the Junk Office at Shaukiwan.
