REPORT OF THE HARBOUR

MASTER

In the report of the Harbour Master for the year 1913, the following references are made to the trade of the port:

The remarks with which this section of my report has always opened, as to the unreliability of the figures Aupplied by shipmasters, were never more fully justified than this year, so many and glazing are the discrepancies between the quantities of various items reported and the facts, which in some cases I have been able to discover.

IMPORTA

Under this heading, which includes all cargo landed or transshipped in the Colony fern Ocean Vessels and River Steamers (not from junks or steam launches) a total of 1,958,125 tons was reported which, compared with that reported for 1912, shows the enormous increase of 804,000 tons, or nearly 20 për cent A

Of this total, the imports of coal, case oil, rice, timber, and goneral" show increnses, while cotton goods, flour, bulk oil and liquid fuel show, decreases.

Coal-Here an increase is reported of 75,000 tons or 7 per cent.

This, as last year, is accounted for by fncreased demand for coal in Canton, and generally inland about of the total having been re-exported to Canton

The reason for this actual reduction in imported flour is undoubtedly the recrudescence of political trouble in China, which caused shippers to be cautious.

• Case Oil-Here an increase of 12,243 tons or 3 per cent is reported, but, as in the case of Bulk Oil, there is no significance in the figures. It is merely a question of stocks and freights, Stocks were low at beginning of the year and freights high. During the second half.
