The number of shipping arrivals at the Port of Auckland was considerably affected by the outbreak of hostilities, and showed a marked decrease each year the war con- ' 'tinued. The net tonnage of arrivals —including ovets-ea, inter-colonial, and coastal-ship-ping—in 1913, was 1,938,050 tons.. In 1911— the .year .tho war .commenced—it was 1.970,808 tons, an increase of 32,758 tons. 'Hie following year, when shipping was reouisitioned for war purposes, the arrivals dropped to 1.810,833 tons, a decrease ol 350.976 tons. In 1916 the arrivals fell off by 67.28!) tons'compared with the prevous year, and in 1917 they decreased a further 235,963 tons 7 . For the 11 months of this year the arrivals totalled' 1,160,681 tons, so that if the monthly average is maintained for Dccemoei "the total for the year will bo 1,266,197 tons, a decrease en last year of 348,381 tons. On tho assumption that the 1914 figures would have beetn maintained but for the war, - the total decrease during the four years has been over 1,127,082 tons.MOVEMENTS OF OVERSEA. VESSELS.
