exported 1,504,810 tons of cargo amongst which were 16,743 tons of kerosine and 2,583 tons of opium. These 2,769 steamers shipped also 333,251 tons of bunker coal. Compared with last year, this gives 137 ships less, measuring 64,825 less carrying 19,655 tons more, and shipping 53,350 tons less of bunker coal.

European vessels imported 1,147,697 tons in excess of exports. Junks exported an excess of 381,604 tons, thus the total excess of imports is reduced to 766,093 tons. From this must be deducted 353,455 tons of bunker coal shipped-exclusive of that supplied to Her Majesty's ships and foreign men-of-war--leaving a balance of 412,638 tons consumed, manufactured, and in stock in the Colony or unaccounted for.
