Show Trade of Some Great Ports. Somo figures have been prepared recently re-cently showing tho great ports of tho world, from which ic appears that tho trade of London is worth 2S5,000,000 a vear. while that of Liverpool stands at"277,500,000 a year. The figures for tho other great ports are as follows: New York 221,000,000, Hamburg (including (in-cluding tho coasting trade) 230,000,-000. 230,000,-000. Marseille. lSl5,000,000, Antwerp (inclusive of river and canal trafllc) 150.000,000, Calcutta 59,000.000, Bom-, bav 51.000,000, Singapore 43,000,000 and Sydney 3S,000,000. It should bo noted that tho figures for the two British Brit-ish ports do not include tho valuo of the coasting trade. Tho probability of London being able to maintain its position posi-tion as tho greatest port of the world is becoming somewhat doubtful. |
