July, 1933 THE AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JOURNAL 21 SHIPPING REVIEW By H. M. Cavender General Agent, The Robert Dollar Co. Our reports for the past few months have shown record totals, and May shipments amount ing to 236,734 tons, we believe, make a new re cord. Sugar shipments to the Atlantic Coast, amountingto 165,000tons, are mainly responsible for the large total. Of the other items to the Atlantic Coast, coconut oil and copra fell off very considerably. Hemp ship ments remained about on a level with the pre vious month, while desiccated coconut ship ments showed quite a satisfactory increase. To China and.Japan, t he main items, hemp and lumber, continue in good volume although both dropped from the previous month. To the Pacific Coast, coconut oil shipments again increased, while copra shipments amount ing to 9,500 tons were by far the best for several years. Hemp for Pacific Coast Local Delivery showed a nice increase, while for Overland Delivery there was only one small shipment.
