24 THE AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JOURNAL October, 1926 SHIPPING REVIEW By H. M. CAVENDER General Agent. Dollar Steamship Line During September there was more space available at Philippine ports to ports thruout the world than possibly has been on the berth and in want of but without carg o e s during any month in the past ten years. Tonnage increases on everv hand while there is but a slight annual increase in the exporta tion of cargoes from the archipelago. In ward cargoes were heavy into the port of Manila. Outports of entry received more cargo direct from the outside- There is a noticeable gradual increase in the direct importation to outports of entry. Manila is gradually losing the transhipment fea ture as she has done in the case of much export cargo. ' - Available figures as to outward passen gers show that during September a total of 1104 people left the islands by regular lines. No figures are yet available giving the total passengers entering during the same period. Of those departing we find them distributed as follows: (first figure represents cabin passengers, second figure steerage) to Hongkong 116—128; Shanghai 14—5; Japan 8—2; Honolulu 2—589; Pa cific coast 68—155;.Singapore 9—0; Europe 8—0 and 1 cabin passenger to New York. Filipino emigration during September to Honolulu and to the Pacific coast, included in the foregoing paragraph, amounted to Honolulu 589 as compared with 307 in Au gust and to the Pacific coast 155 as com pared with 252 in August.
