The rate of freight was steady and still in the high figures. A Grand Total of 246,398 tons with a total of 87 sailings (average 2,832 tons per vessel) of which 11,557 tons were carried in American bottoms with 7 sailing (average 1,651 tons per vessel). (Please turn to the next page) Coconut products show slumps through out the range. The desiccated coconut ship ments amounted to only 2053 tons, the smallest in many months. Oil shipments to the United States amounted to 6691 tons only and 36 tons in drums to other mar kets, a total of 6727 tons. The United States bought 14,827 tons of copra, Europe 8,473 tons and 97 tons to other markets. The total, 23,397 tons, is slightly less than for December. The United States upped her purchases of copra cake to 6003 tons but European demand was 5066, or about 50% of the December purchases, 60 tons went to other markets, a total of 11,129 tons. Hemp shipments were only 84,660 bales. All markets except Europe show a de crease. The United States took 15,133 bales, Europe 49,795 bales, Japan 14 885 bales, and miscellaneous markets 4,877 bales. As increased rhtes to United States and Japan become effective February 1st it was supposed that January shipments would be heavy to anticipate these in creases. The shipments of ores steadily increase and are bright lights in the picture. Japan received her regular ration of iron ore— 59,315 tons, and of copper, chromite and manganese an additional 6,986 tons. The United States took 11,000 tons of chromite for the Atlantic trade and 413 tons of con centrates for the Tacoma smelters. St. Johns received a full cargo of chromite— 7,200 tons, and a small lot 71 tons went to Europe. The total amounts to 84,985 tons. Lumber and logs show a slump of over a million feet. The United States trade was over 3',^ million feet, Japan only 2% million feet, Europe */2 million feet and Australia upped her purchase to 485,577 feet, but the African trade was very small. The shipments to all markets were 6,932,463 feet. The cigar shipments were down to 334 tons and tobacco people shipped only 632 tons. Rope shipments were 470 tons. 162 tons of alcohol went forward. The furni ture trade continues good and the factories shipped 688 tons (40 cu. ft.). Japan took 2,194 tons of molasses. Decreases are noted in shipments of embroideries, gums, junk, cutch, lard and margarine.
