F. BLACKHEAD & CO., AGENTS, Hongkong, 31st July, 1903,

The inorcase in ocean-going is made up principally by an increased number of steamers calling at the port in 1903 under the U. S. flag and to the increased tonnage of some of the Pacific Mail steamers, and to an increase ouder Chinese, Japanese, and French flags.

The increase in river trade is made up by two French steamers San Cheitag, and Kong Nam, the former being a new steainer and the latter was transferred from the British flag in July, 1903, also to the Chiness steamors Chan Waz and Chan On, whose running commenced in the first quarter of 1903.

GENERAL,

I may, perhaps, be permitted to express my own personal regret at, and my sense of the loss the Colony has incurred through his departure.

The building of the much needed new Harbour

Captain Ramsoy having left the Colony for good, it devolves upon me to father this report, which deals with a period during three quar The actual unmber of ships of Europeuarters of which he was in charge of the barbour, construction (exclusive of river steators and steam launches) entering the port during 1903, was 741, of which 344 wore British, and 37 foreign. These 741 ships entered 4.419 times. giving a total tonnage entered of: 7,064,185 tons. Thus, compared with 1992, 23 more ships entered 372 more times, and gave a total tounage increased by 779,927 tons."

The 344 British vessels carried 2,670 British officers and 24 foreign officers as follows British 2,679. Norwegian 3, Dutch 1. German 2, United Statoo 18, Total 2,703. Thus the proportion of foreign officers in British ships was 0.89 per cent. comprising four nationalities. an increase of 0.11 per cent. with a decrease of ships.

Office has now been commenced, and it is to be hoped that the work will be pushed on as quickly as possible, as tho work of the department is seriously hampered by the restricted view of the Harbour from the office. But it is scarcely probable that the new office can be opened mach before another two years have passed,

During the year arrangements have been made to light Cap-shui-mun, and this light will, I trust, he established before this report appears in print. There would seem to be little pros pect, however, of immediate improvement in The 397 foreign ships curried 2,982 officers, the lighting of the eastern and western ap- of whom 267 were British, berno as follows proaches to the Harbour, by the shifting of In Japanese ships, 19; Chinese, 97; United Cape D'Aguilar Light to Green Island, and tho States, 16: French, 7: Dutch. 4 Belgian. 4.

The proportion of British officers proved in 1900, owing to the greater necessity in foreign ships was therefore 9.3 per cent for other Publie Works, which are absorbing distributed among six nationalities; a decrease all the available funds. It is to be hoped that of 1.4 per cent. with an increase of ships.

The principal foutares to be remarked in the reported trade of the port for 1903 are:-

Imports. Increases in coal of 14.0 per cent.. cotton of 80.8 per cent, flear of 11.6 per cent uase petroleum of 37.3 per cent.. general of 77 per cent Decreases in bulk petroleum of 25.4 por cont.. liquid fuel of 84.1 per cent, rice of 27.1 per cent., sagar of 14.3 per cont; timber of 14.1 per cent. The net increase under this head amounts to 21.847 tons.

for the shipping, and the question is "What"

It is probable that. the shipping of the port will continue to increase, both in numbers and size. so that any measures that may be decided upon will have to take the future into account, and not only the immediate fature, either. Dredging is extremely slow and expensive work, and any scheme which bases its entire hopes on this alone, is, ir toy opinion, doomed to failure, not only on account of the slowness of the work, but because of the probable use. lessness of it, for it is reasonable to believe that, as those parts of the Harbour which stand in need of dredging have been, and are still being, silted up, so they will continue to be in the fature, and unless a prohibitive fas to cost) unraber of dredgoes bo unployed, and be kept employer, very little, if any, impression will b made on the depth of the water.
