WATER TRANSPORTATION 543 Panama Canal Traffic, Traffic through the Panama Canal during 1925 (calendar year) totaled 23,701,000 cargo tons, as compared with 25,892,000 in 1924, though still much more than double the 1922 figure. This decrease is accounted for by the large drop in shipments of mineral oils from the west coast of the United States. These shipments, in 1924, aggregated 7,229,000 as compared with 4,588,000 tons in 1925. Apart from petroleum our intercoastal shipments were about 750,000 tons greater in 1925. The traffic from the west coast to the east coast has been much heavier during the past three years than the west bound cargo, a fact attributable chiefly to the large shipments of crude oils and lumber, most of which go to the eastern seaboard of the United States. The cargo from the Pacific to the Atlantic was 71 per cent of the total in 1924, and 68 per cent in 1925. Traffic by origin and destination (fiscal years) is shown in Table 34.
