Suez Canal Traffic.


The report OF the directors of the SueZ
canal, presented TO the shareholders yes
terday, VIII be studied with interest by
all connected with our own great water
way. AS We recently pointed out, the Cor
NTH canal, owing mainly to the Steepness
of its sides. has not been made use of 10 the
extent expected by its promoters, but the
Suez canal has again the story of years
prosperity to unfold. In 1898 the number
Of vessels passing through the canal was
3.3il with a total of 1853. 600 tons last year
the number was only slightly greater, but
the tonnage had increased TO upwards of
5000 100 tons. The total receipts of the COM
pany were E3,0s0.000. and the net profits
exceeded s1,644Ss0. Compared with the
receipts of 1898 the dues received from the
transit of vessels show an increase of Az
per cent, and Improvement IS also notice
able in other directions. 1t is of interest
TO note that, thanks to the use of the cleo
tric light no fewer than 949 per cent. of
the vessels passed through the canal by
night. as again S2i. per cent. in 1898. The
nationality of the vessels varies little from
year TO year, and, as usual. Ii is case of
England first, the rest nowhere, for of the
1852 steamers 1855 were owned in this
country. The Germans are still second
with Z96-an increase of n IS compared
with 1S93-and the Dutch. with 19l vessels,
have now ousted the French from the
third position. During the past year elev-
en- tank petroleum steamers safely COM
pleted forty-five passages of the canal,
and this traffic covers a growing source OF
revenue. The average time occupied by
vessel in the canal was 10 hours % minutes
a dminution of 10 minutes as compared
with 1898. The working of the tramway
from Port Said TO Ismaila. opened in De
cember. 1893, has produced satisfactory re-
suits and in spite OF strikes the canal has
been dredged to the depth of eight and
half meters throughout, and is reported
as in excellent working condition. As is
we'll known, the British government be-
came in 1873, thanks to the foresight OF
Lord Beaconsfield, the owner of 1862 OF
the 400 900 shares, of 800 francs each, al
though the interest had been mortgaged
by the khedive up TO 1894. There are no
signs that the harvest TO be reaped from
this wise investment will fail. The direc-
tors consider that the cessation of war in
the Far East will lead TO an increase Of
traffic, and Englishmen VIII sincerely
echo the tribute of praise TO the genius
of NJ. Ferdinand de Lesseps, which prefac-
ed the directors report for 1894, and the
announcement of a net dividend of -
francs per share.
