SUNDAY CARGO-WORKING IN HONGKONG.

During 1901, 439 permits were issued under the provisions of the Ordinance, says

says the Harbour Master in his annual report. Of these, 109 were not availed of owing to its being found unnecessary for the ship to work cargo on the Sunday, and the fee paid for the permit was refunded in each case, and 48, permits were issued, free of charge, to Mail Steamers.

The revenue collected under this heading

was $44,800; this was $1,250 more than in 1900.

The revenue collected each year since the Ordinance came into force is as follows!

THE TRADE OF HONGKONG

IN 1901

In his report for 1901, the Harbour Master

says

The Information under this heading is still less accumts than it might be if greater assist- ance was given by those from wham the particulars are obtained, and who alone are in a position to afford it. The following returns Inust, therefore, be received with due allowance for this apparent indifference to accuracy.

The principal features to be remarked in the reported trade of the Por for the year 19or,

are

(L.) A decrease in the Coal imports of 11.3% (ii.) A decrease in the

in the Cotton imports of 27.8% (ii) A decrease in the Rice imports of 8%

(iv) A'decrease in the Timber importsof 18.7% (v.) A decrease in the Hemp imports of 47.3%. (vi.) An increase in the General imports of98% (vii) Also small increases in case and bulk Kerosine and in Liquid Fael

The net decrease in import cargo is 1231335 tons or 3.4.20

In exports there appears to be an increase of 150.813 tons or 7.7%

In transit cargo, a decrease of 9,163 tons or 10.4 %

The total reported import trade of the Port for 1901, amounts to 24,687 vessels of 9,014,955 tons, carrying 6,347,285 tons of cargo, of which 4,212,700 tons were discharged at Hongkong. This does not include number, tonnage, or cargo of Local Trade junks.

Similarly the Export Trade for 1901 was represented by 24,598 vessels of 6975,482 tons carrying 3,036,907 tons of cargo, and shipping 542,947 tons of bunker coal,⠀

During the year 1901; 10,807 vessels of European construction of 14.559,069 tons (net Register) reported having carried 8,242,572° tons of cargo, as follows-import Cargo, 3486,987 Export cargo, 2,084,053; Transit Cao, 2,134,585; Bunker Conl shipped, 542,947; Total 8,242,572.

The total number of tons carried was, there fore, 56,6% of the total register tonnage (ör 71.4 exclusive of River steamers) and was apportioned as follows Imporis

HONGKONG SIHPPING IN 1001.

The large amount collected for these Sunday permits is worthy of remark and especially so in connection with the petition of a few years "ago"against the increase of Light' Dues, in 'which the Secretary of State and others were

In his annual report, the Harbourmaster asked to believe that, so precarious is the

is the says shipping trade of this important centre, that, a charge of a cents (Mexican) per registered ton would tend to deter vessels from coming to the Fort."

Now what diwe see? That since 1897 (the year of the petition) the amount paid for Sun- day permits has increased year by year until in 1901, in addition to the $58,375 paid by shipping for Light Dues at the rate of one cent per registered ton, we have a contribution of $44,800 from 281 ships aggregating 466,809 tons, or at the rate of 9.6/10 cents a registered ton, for the benefit of one day's work in the discharge of shipment of cargo. It is evident from this, I think, that there still remains some inducement for ships to come to Hongkong, and that the benefit to be derived thereby is not so small as to be influenced by the paytment of "duos oven exceeding the paltry 2 coats above

referred to.

The total tonnage entering and clearing during the year 1901 amounted to rggas,284 tour, being an increase, compared with 1900, of 880,248 tons, and the same in excess of any previous year. Of this increase, 165,128, tone are due to the fact that steam launches trading to ports outside the Colony have been included this year, whereas in former years they have been returned separately,

There were 45,349 arrivals of 9,651,203 tons, and 45,171 departures of 9,644,181 tons.

Of British Ocean going tonnage, 2917,780 tons entered, and 2,897,200 tons cleared.

Of British River Steamers 1,697,242 tons entered, and 1,705,417 tons cleared, making a grand total of British tonnage of 9,313,639 toas entering and clearing.

Of Foreign Ocean-going tonnage, 3,637,552 tons entered and 3,609,902 tons cleared.

Of Foreign, River Steamers, 48,145 tons

re entered and 49,503 tons cleared, making a- grant.total of Foreign tonnage of 5,345,430 tons entering and clearing. -

It must be remembered that while dues are paid per ton of ship's register, freight 12 charged usually per ton of cubic measure ment and that approximately a ship carries Of Steam launches trading to ports outside 1.875 of her registered tonnage : 24 cents there the Colony, 82,564 tons entered and 82,504 fore per ton of ship's registered founage re- | tens clear presents only it cents per cargo tan, or, in ofe bther words, it only takes 1 cents of freight entered |to pay aj cents of Harbour dues,
