electric liner for the Panama Pacific Line, operating between New York
and Los Angeles and San Francisco, via Habana and the Panama Canal.
'This vessel which follows the California, now in service, and the'
Virginia, launched this month, is to be ready for service in December,

26 THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

Cargo Through Canal During July, 1928.
On pages 28 and 29 of this issue .will be found tables showing the
origin and destination of cargo passing through the Canal during July,
1928. The aggregate of all cargo for the month was 2,291,955 long
tons, as compared with 2,450,468 tons passing through the Canal in
"July last year. The heavy decrease was in theAtlantic-bound cargo and
was brought about by small shipments of several commodities usually
shipped in bulk,'yiz., mineral oils, nitrates, and lumber, as compared
f* ith the shipments in July of 1927.
ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC CARGO MOVEMENT.
Oriein.-Over 66 per cent of the cargo from the Atlantic to the
Pacific originated on the eastern and Gulf seaboards of the United
States, and 23.6 per cent in Europe. Cargo originating in the United
States was 23,488 tons, or 4.9 per cent greater than the amount coming
from this area in July last year. Cargo from Europe showed a relative
as well as an actual decrease under the amount carried through the
Canal in July last year. The decrease from this area was 15,031 tons,
or 7.8 per cent.
Destination.-Forty-four per cent of the Pacific-bound cargo tonnage
was destined to the United States; 21.1 per cent to Asia (including the
Philippines); 15 per cqit to Australasia; and 13 per cent to South
America. Cargo tonnages to the United States and Asia increased both
relatively and actually over July last year, the increases amounting
to 35,707 tons, or 12.1 per cent, and 11,096 tons, or 7:6 per cent respec-
tively. Tonnages to Australasia and South America showed small
decreases.
PACIFIC TO ATLANTIC CARGO MOVEMENT.
Origin.-Of the cargo tonnage moving in this direction, 56.1 per
cent originated on the west. coast of the United States; 25.8 per cent
in South America; 12.5 per cent in Canada; 2.6 per cent in Asia (includ-
ing the Philippines); and 2.1 per cent in Australasia. Cargo from all of
these areas, with the exception of Canada, showed decreases under July
of last year, although that coming from Asia and Australasia, were,
relatively, about the same as last year. The decrease from the United
States was 149,669 tons, that from South America, 59,998 tons, from
Asia, 4,891 tons; and from Australasia, 4,105 tons. The large decreases
from the United States and South America were occasionedbycompara-
tively light shipments of mineral oils and nitrates. Cargo from Canada
increased 44,658 tons on account of the heavy wheat shipments.
Destination.-Segregated according to direction, 60.3 per cent of the
cargo in this direction went to the United States and 31.9 per cent to
Europe. Tonnage to the United States showed an actual decrease of
96,748 tons, or 9.4 per cent, but a small relative increase in its propor-
tion of all cargo from the Pacific as compared with July last year, while
that to Europe increased 7,210 tons, or 1.4 per cent. Light shipments
of mineral oils and nitrates were responsible for the decreased tonnage
to the United States.
PRINCIPAL COMMODITIES, ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC.
From the cargo declarations submitted it was possible to classify
over 89 per cent of the total cargo in transit through the Canal from i
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The remaining 11 per cent consisted, for
t.he most part, of manufactured articles in small lots reported as
"General cargo." -

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

United States Intercoastal Traffic by Commodities for July, 1928..

The following table shows the cargo carried through the Canal in
the United States intercoastal trade, segregated by commodities and
by direction, with the totals for July, 1928, and the totals for July,
1927 and 1926. Cargo statistics are compiled from cargo declarations
submitted by masters of vessels, and in these declarations small items
are frequently grouped under, the designation of "General cargo."
These statistics are accordingly not precise but they are indicative
of the kind and quantity of the cargo in transit through the Canal.
The figures represent tons of 2,240 pounds, and are for the United
States intercoastal trade only:

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

Merchandise Shipped to Canal Zone for Orders.

The Panama Railroad Company, a New York corporation, of which
the stock is now owned by the United States Government, will ware-
house"for orders" at its piers and warehouses at Balboa and Cristobal,
Canal Zone, nonperishable and nondangerous merchandise, excepting $
alcoholic liquors. An illustrated pamphlet explaining in detail the
arrangement may be had upon application to the Panama Railroad
Co., Balboa Heights, C. Z., or 24 State Street, New York City.
On general merchandise the rates are as follows:
(a) For handling cargo from ship's side to storage place, the customary inward
local charge of $1 per ton.
(b) For delivery or reforwarding, customary outward local charge of $1 per ton.
(Total of 20 cents per ton more than regular transfer charge.)
(c) For storage, 3 cents per ton per day, except that no charge will be made for
the first 35 days.
The Panama Railroad Company stores this cargo in four fireproof warehouses, 160
feet by 850 feet, at Cristobal, and in one of the same dimensions at Balboa.
Cargo stored for orders can be reforwarded from the Isthmus-each carrier to col-
lect its proportion of the through rate instead of the local. This means that should a
shipment move from New York to the Canal Zone, it will of course pay regular local
rate to Balboa or Colon, as the case may be-but should owner wish to reforward to,
say, "Guayaquil," he can do so by paying the oncarrier's proportion of the through
rate. Upon evidence that the shipment or any part of it moved beyond the Canal
Zone, the initial carrier will refund the difference between the through and local rate.
Cargo intended for warehousing at Cristobal or Balboa should be so indicated on
the bill of lading, thus "Cristobal for orders" or "Balboa for orders." When so con-
signed it is not necessary for shippers to secure consular papers at original point of
shipment, nor to have bills of lading consulate. Cargo consigned to Canal Zone for
orders may be delivered in the Republic of Panama in which case it is necessary to
prepare an invoice on which duties can be paid. When evidence of payment of duty
is presented to the Canal Zone customs officers they will issue the necessary release
and deliver)' can be taken in the usual way. For those on the Canal Zone who are
allowed to import goods duty free the Panama Canal customs release is all that is
necessary. For reshipment from storage to a foreign country the shipper takes out
bill of lading, consular invoice and sobordo if necessary and cargo is forwarded as
regular outward local.
There are no special forms for use in shipping except the warehouseman's order to
release the cargo for shipment ("Authority to Deliver Cargo from Storage on Piers)".
Shipper takes out his bill of lading and consular invoice and the cargo moves as regular
outward local. :"
Samples of the forms used, "Negotiable Warehouse Receipt." and "Authority to
Deliver Cargo from Storage on Piers," are shown in the pamphlet referred to above.
*_______________
Provisions Required by Ships.
The Panama Canal Commissary Division, with facilities at Balboa and Cristobal
for delivery of supplies to steamships, carries a complete line of provisions, such as
meats, fruits, vegetables, eggs, butter, canned goods, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco,
etc., which are sold to ships at the prices which are in effect for employees, no sur-
charge being added. Beef especially is available at low prices, hindquarters selling
at 12 cents per pound and forequarters at 91 cents per pound.
Orders may be placed in advance by radio for delivery on arrival, or at either ter-
minal for prompt delivery or for delivery at the other terminal after transit. All
vessels are boarded on arrival by a representative of the Commissary Division.

Information from American Consuls.
"he Consular officers of the United States at seaports all over the world are ex oficio represer tatives
S. The Panama Canal for the purpose of furnishing information to shipping and allied interests as to
.6 editions, charges, etc., at the Panama Canal affecting the operation of ships. The current publications
of The Panama Canal of interest to shipping are furnished to the Consular officers and filed for reference.
It is not desired that inquiries of a general nature be addressed to the Consular officers, or that they
% burdened with requests which should be made direct to The Panama Canal; but ships' operators who
zt' t 4be luffiientlyadvised as to charges, supplies, facilities, etc., at the Canal will often save time
R ii: y ixuLnt.the nearest American Consul.

parts of the world, sailing directions of the world, nautical tables,
light lists, tide tables, nautical almanacs, etc.
At the office of the Port Captain in Balboa a limited stock of navi-

FREQUENCY OF TRANSITS OF VESSELS THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL.
During the fiscal year 1928, 1,811 individual commercial vessels
:representing 23 nationalities, passed through the Panama Canal. The
'number of transits per individual ship varied from 1 to 65, the 1,811
vessels making a total of 6,456 transits, or an average of 3.57 transits
per vessel.
| The highest number of transits made by any vessel during the fiscal
ear was 65, made by the motor ship Chiman, operated by the Isth-
mOian Land and Fruit Company. This vessel is bf Panaman registry,
pd operates between Cristobal and the west coast of the Republics
ZPanama and Colombia. It is a vessel of 124 net tons, Panama Canal
Iasurement, 116 feet long by 12 feet beam.
vessels of the Unitd States registry led in aggregate number of
though not in number of individual ships. While representing

4 CANAL WORK IN JULY, 1928.

The following is the report of the Governor to the Secretary of War,
of Canal work in July, 1928.
BALBOA HEIGHTS, C. Z., August 24, 1928.
The Honorable, the Secretory of ll'ar,

During the month 509 commercial vessels passed through the Canal. In addition
to these, 10 nonseagoing launches, measuring under 20 tons, and 28 vessels belonging
to or chartered by the United States Government transited the Canal. There were
also 3 transits of a Panama Government vessel and 8 transits of vessels solely for
repairs, on which no tolls were collected, making a total of 558 transits for the month,
or a daily average of 18.
Tolls on the 509 commercial vessels a mounted to $2,109,083.19, and on the launches
to $73.35, a total of $2,109,156.54, or a daily average on all traffic of $68,037.31.
Total traffic for July exceeded that of the preceding month by 23 transits and almost
$93,000 in tolls.
The total number of craft of all kinds transiting the Canal during the month of
July, 1928, as compared with the same month in 1927 and 1926, are shown in the

TOLLS.

At present tolls are collected at rates of $1.20 per net ton for laden vessels and 72
cents per ton for vessels in ballast, computed on the basis of the Panama Canal rules
of measurement, with the provision that tolls shall not exceed $1.25 per ton nor be
less than 75 cents per ton as determined in accordance with the United States rules
for measurement of net registered tonnage. In order to ascertain the proper tolls
charges it is necessary, therefore, that the net tonnage of vessels transiting the Canal
be determined both in accordance with the Panama Canal and the United States rules
of measurement. 9
Due to this limiting proviso the tolls actually collected on laden vessels averaged
$0.943 per net ton, Panama Canal measurement, and tolls on vessels in ballast aver-
aged S$0.72 per net ton, Panama Canal measurement.
Taking the traffic through the Canal for the month of July, 1928, the following
tabulation shows a comparison of rolls actually collected under the present method'of
assessing tolls with the tolls that would have been collected on the basis of the Panama
Canal rules olf measurement at the proposed rates of 81.00 laden and $0.60 ballast.

During the month of August, 1928, 95 tank ships transited the Canal
with an aggregate net tonnage, Panama Canal measurement, of
520,764, on which tolls of $459,139.45 were collected. Cargo amounted
to 495,713 tons. In point of net tonnage, tanker traffic for the past
month showed a decrease of 22.2 per cent under the same traffic for
the corresponding month a year ago, while cargo tonnage decreased
16.9 per cent under the cargo tonnage of August, 1927.
Tank ships comprised 18 per cent of the total commercial tryniits
through the Canal during the month; made up 21.3 per cent of the
total Panama Canal net tonnage; were the source of 20.8 per cent of
the tolls collected; and carried 20.4 per cent of the total cargo in
transit through the Canal.
The number, aggregate net tonnage, tolls, and cargo of tank ships
transiting the Canal during the month of August, 1928, segregated
by direction of transit and nationality of vessels, are shown ia the
following tabulation, with comparative totals for the two preceding

I The steam yacht Dana, owned by the Ministry of Agriculture of the
:Danish Government, arrived at Cristobal on August 25, 1928, from
[Copenhagen, Denmark, on the first leg of a scientific expedition that
will take about 2 years to complete. The vessel transited the Canal
on August 27, and, after taking on fuel and commissary supplies,
'sailed on September 10 for Tahiti.
The Dana left Denmark last June, and has been making studies of
;deep sea life en route to the Isthmus. These studies will be continued

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

Cargo Through Canal IDuring August, 1928.
On pages 84 and 85 of this issue will be found tables showing the
origin and destination of cargo passing through the Canal during
August, 1928. The aggregate of all cargo for the month was 2,425,336
tons, as compared with 2,429,947 tons passing through the Canal in
August of last year. Pacific-to-Atlantic cargo movement decreased
87,932 tons under August, 1927, while the Atlantic-to-Pacific tonnage
increased 83,321 tons. The present depression in the California mineral
oil movement through the Canal as compared with last year is the chief
reason for the decreased Atlantic-bound movement, together with
rather heavy decreases in shipments of lumber, nitrates, and ores.
While the total decreases in these four commodities aggregate 257,039
tons under August of last year, increases in wheat, canned goods, and
barley offset partly this heavy loss.
ATLANTIC-TO-PACIFIC CARGO MOVEMENT.
Origin.--Over 69 per cent of the cargo from the Atlantic to the
Pacific originated on theeastern and Gulf seaboardsof the United States,
and 23 per cent in Europe. Cargo originating in the United States
was 76,237 tons, or 17.1 per cent greater than the amount coming
from that area in August last year. Cargo from Europe showed a smma
actual increase, although the percentage of the total cargo passing
through the Canal in August, 1928, was somewhat smaller than that
coming from Europe in August last year. The actual increase was less
than 3,000 tons. ,
Desfination.-Over 40 per cent of the Pacific-bound cargo tonnage
was destined to the United States; 2-1.4 per cent to Asia (irtluding the
Philippines); 15.6 per cent to Australasia; and 13.6 per cent to South
America. Cargo tonnage to the United States, Asia, and Australasia
showed increases of 17,251 tons, or 6 per cent, 69,932 tons, or 60.9
per cent, and 9,411 tons, or 8.7 per cent, respectively, over August
last year. While the tonnage to the United States and Australasia
showed actual increases, the percentage of the total cargo was smaller
in August this year. Cargo to South America showed an actual as well
as a relative decrease under that of August, 1927. This decrease
amounted to 8,931 tons, or 8.7 per cent.
PACIFIC-TO-ATLANTIC CARGO MOVEMENT.
Origin.-Of the cargo tonnage moving in this direction, 56 per cent
originated on the west coast of the United States; 27.4 per cent in
South America; 9.9 per cent in Canada; 3.3 per cent in Asia (includ-
ing the Philippines); and 2.7 per cent in Australasia. Cargo from,
the United States and South America showed decreases under August
1927, in the amounts of 141,927 tons, or 13.2 per cent, and 25,198
tons, or 5.4 per cent, respectively. The percentage of the total cargo
from the United States in August last year was 61.2 per cent as com-
pared with 56 per cent of the total in August this year, while that from
South America was, relatively, approximately the same in 1928 as iq
1927. Cargo from Canada showed a relative as well as an actual increase.
The actual increase amounted to 71,477 tons, or 75.7 per cent, over
August, 1927, which heavy increase was accounted for by the increased
grain shipments from that area. Cargo tonnage from Asia and
Australasia also increased 3,720 tons and 1,537 tons, respectively.
Destination.-Segregated according to. destination, 53.1 per cent
of the cargo in this direction went to the United'States, and 39.2 per
cent to Europe. Tonnage to the United States showed an actual de-
crease of 276,822 tons, or 23.7 per cent, as well as a relative decrease in
its proportion of all cargo from the Pacific as compared with August

THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD 83

last year, while that to Europegincreased 218,012 tons, or 49.7 per
.cent,*together with a heavy relative increase in proportion of all cargo.
I Over 200,000 tons of the decreased tonnage to the east coast of the
united States was caused by lessened shipments of mineral oils.
IMineral oil shipments to Europe increased approximately 80,000 tons
over August, 1927. This item, together with heavy shipments of wheat,
Made up the larger portion of the gain in cargo tonnage to Europe.
PRINCIPAL COMMODITIES, ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC.
From the cargo declarations submitted it was possible to classify over
585 per cent of the total cargo in transit through the Canal from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The remaining 15 per cent consisted, for the most
part, of manufactured articles in small lots reported as "General cargo."
Atlantic-to-Pacific-bound commodities which aggregated more than
t10,000 tons for August, 1928, or August, 1927, are listed in the follow-
ing tabulation, showing differences:

88 THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD

Jacob's Ladders To Be in Proper Condition.
THE PANAMA CANAL, DEPARTMENT OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE,
BALBOA HEIGHTS, C. A, September 12. 1921.
To STEAMSHIP OWNERS AND AGENTS:
It has been brought to the attention of this office that on one occasion recently,.
on a vessel prepared to transit the Canal, due to the rotten condition of the rope in
the Jacob's ladder, the ladder broke as the Custom Inspector was boarding the vessel,
and only the fact that the boarding launch was close by prevented him from falling
into the sea.
It is requested that all steamship companies take immediate steps to inspect'their
Jacob's ladders and see'that they are in proper condition in order that safety of Canal
pilots and other employees may be properly assured.
This circular is supplementary to Marine Superintendent's memorandum of
November 7, 1927, regarding the proper rigging of Jacob's ladders.

Approved: Marine Superintendent.

TOLLS.
At present, tolls are collected at rates of $1.20 per net ton for laden vessels and 72
cents per ton for vessels in ballast, computed on the basis of the Panama Canal rules
of measurement, with the provision that tolls shall not exceed $1.25 per ton nor be
less than 75 cents per ton as determined in accordance with the United States rules
for measurement of net registered tonnage. In order to ascertain the proper tolls
charges it is necessary, therefore, that the net tonnage of vessels transiting the Canal
be determined both in accordance with the Panama Canal and the United States
rules of measurement.
