FOREIGN TRADE ZONES steamship organizations in important cities such as Bremen and Hamburg. The following steamship companies, though not important in over- sea trade, are located at Emden: A. G. Ems, Atlas Reederei A. G. Emder Dampfercompagnie Nuebelt & Fritzen A. G., Schulte & Bruns; also various fisheries and companies interested in canal and river traffic. These undertakings, however, are all interested in the European coasting trade. Statistics.—The greatest part of the goods that arrive at Emden trom foreign countries is unloaded in the free zone. The Emden statistics do not show the movement of goods through the free zone alone. It has been ascertained from the Emden Chamber of Com- merce, however, that practically all foreign goods come through the free zone, with the exception of about 50 per cent of the lumber arrivals and about 90 per cent of the general cargo. The total quantity of cargo arriving at the port of Emden by sea each year since 1901 has been compiled from the “Annual reports of the Chambers of Com- merce for Ostfriesland and Papenburg,” and the tonnage of the twO above-mentioned classes of commodities has also been calculated and deducted therefrom. The results should give the approximate figures of the commerce through the Emden free ports. Growth of commerce and shipping in free ports—The following figures show the total quantity in metric tons of cargo arriving at the port of Emden by sea during the years mentioned. Below each total 18 given the total for lumber and general cargo, and the result of the subtraction represents the estimated figures for the free ports.
