HANKOW'S SHIPPING-TRADE.
THE LATEST REPORT,
1.5
The returns of shipping entered and cleared, at Hankow for the July-September quarter of last year show an increase in tonnage of 279,647 tons over the corres- ponding period of 1918. Shipping activity on the Yangtze during this quarter was particularly brisk but as regards the Japanese line operating vessels to Hankow and the river ports, the same thing cannot be said although sailings were maintained usual, the boycott inaugerated by the Chinese students being ex- ception ly damaging to the com- pany during those months. In spite of the boycott, however, no | tonnage was withdrawn from the river by the Japanese line but with little cargo offering, this line must have suffered certain heavy losses and but for being a member of the Lower Yangtze Conference things might have been more serious.
The total tonnage entered and cleared during the
quarter mentioned was, in round numbers, 1.926,400 tons of which 37.4 per cent. was British; 31.0 per cent. was Japanese: 27.7 per cent, was Chinese and 3.2 per cent. WAS American, the small remainder being made up of Danish, Norwegian and Russian tonnage. Compared with the previous quarter of 1918 the percentages accreditted ..to the different nation's shipping has undergone but little change, there being in ali the cases but ar. increase of about one per cent. with the exception of Chinese shipping which has decreased by about two per cent. As regards com- parison by tonnage. American shipping has increased approx- imately three times. That coming under the heading of "Ocean Tonnage has been. primarily responsible for this the tonnage arrivals in the July- September quarter of 1918 being 9,600 tons and for the same quarter of last year, 30,085 tons. Tonnage coming under the head- ing of River" has also increased by about 15,000 tons, which shows that, in addition to Amer- i ican overseas vessel increasing in numbers going to Hankow, there has been greater marked activity on the pars of the Asiatic Petroleum Co.'s vessals and also on the part of those owned by the Standard Oil. When the new proposed local American river company gets properly started and has its vessels operating on the river it can be expected that the American flag will be a more frequent sight than is the case at the present time..
Of the tonnage coming under the heading of "River," 43.6 per cent. was British; 29.0 per cent. was Japanese; 25.2 per cent. was Chinese and 2.2 per cent. was American. In this case, also, there is no great difference in the returns with the exception of American tonnage ам
before
| stated. Undoubtedly Hankow's shipping trade has been greatly benefitted through the termina- tion of the war, which, as is well known is the case the world over. With Hankow this is greatest shown in the case of British shipping During the July- September quarter of 1918 no tonnage coming under the head- ing of "Ocean', 'arid fying the Red Ensign arrived for departed from Hankow but when the same quarter of last year is considered it is found that the total Ocean tonnage flying the Red Ensign is placed at 95,354 toas. By this it can be seen that but little time has been lost by British overseas shipping firms in re-commencing sailings to China, and it can also be seen the great amount of harm that was being done to British trade interests in Far Eastern waters through the war.
Of the tonnage coming under the heading of Ocean," 28.2 per cent, was British; 599 per cent. was Japanese and 8.9 per cent. was American, no Chinese ocean tonnage clearing from the port during the quarter.
APPRECIATING LITERARY
LANDMARKS, ·
A Japanese visitor to London (writes a correspondent) is full of appreciation of our literary landmarks. He told the corrON pondent: "I have been to Dr. Johnson's house more than once, and several times to Carlyle's house. I have been to the Lake District to follow in Wordsworth's footsteps, and to Abbotsford to visit Scott's beautiful home, and of course to Stratford-on-Avon. In London I am never tired of looking out for the houses where We famous people once lived. in Japan have a great reverence for the past, so it is natural that we should seek to see such places in England
