540 COMMERCE YEARBOOK (see general note, page 533). American vessels represented slightly less than one-fourth of the total entrances (tonnage) in the earlier period, over 43 per cent in 1924, and 40.3 per cent in 1925. While the total tonnage clearing in foreign trade has increased about one-half over the pre-war years, tonnage with cargo increased only slightly over one-third. This fact is attributed wholly to the great growth in our imports of petroleum from Mexico. Vessels in this trade generally must clear from the United States in ballast. Total clearances in 1925 were 70,228,000 tons, exceeding those of 1924 by 1.9 per cent. The Lake ports in 1925 showed no marked change in entrances or clearances in comparison with the previous two years, the changes in total tonnage being chiefly in seaport traffic. Volume of Water-Borne Foreign Commerce. Despite the increase in capacity of ships clearing, the weight of the water-borne exports of the United States, totaling 48,091,000 tons in 1925, was 8 per cent less than in 1924, largely because of smaller shipments of wheat and flour. Imports by water increased, amounting to 42,686,000 tons, or 4 per cent more than in 1924, despite smaller imports of petroleum, the biggest item. The proportion of traffic moving from Atlantic coast ports gained during the year (Table 29). These ports accounted for 60 per cent of our total imports by weight and 4314 per cent of our exports, compared with 59 and 41 per cent, respectively, in 1924, The decline in the proportion of ocean-borne dry cargoes exported in American flag vessels continued during 1925, when 30 per cent of the total was so carfied compared with 32 per cent in 1924 (Table 30). The proportion of imports of dry cargoes carried in vessels of American registry, also decreased to 28 per cent compared with 32 per cent in the preceding year. The American proportion of the combined totals for all cargoes is much affected by changes in the aggregate volume of tanker petroleum traffic and in the share of that traffic carried bv American flag vessels.
