! Cargo-carrying capacity. 
Manufacturing in the free zone.—Manufacturing is not permitted 
Nn the free zone of the port of Stettin and furthermore there is neither 
shipbuilding nor ship repair carried on in the free zone. Stettin 
Was once the center of a very considerable shipbuilding industry, 
the famous Vulcan Shipbuilding Co. having been established there 
bout 70 years ago. Since the concentration of shipbuilding on the 
Elbe during the past two or three years, Stettin is no longer active 
Nn this industry, especially since the scrapping of the Vulcan Co.'s 
Yards last year. 
Influence of frez port on the development of foreign trade.— With 
‘espect to the influence of Stettin’s free zone on the development of 
foreign trade, in response to a request to comment on this subject, 
he Prussian Ministry of Trade and Commerce, under whose juris- 
diction free port matters fall, replied: “Since the opening of the 
Stettin free zone that city’s shipping has developed in a very high 
degree. Whether, however, this development may be ascribed to 
‘he existence of a froe port or economic influences in general, can not 
%¢ determined.” The writer is of the opinion, however, that the 
*Stablishment of the free zone at Stettin has not played the réle in 
he development of that port as has been the case at Hamburg or 
Bremen, especially at Hamburg, where manufacturing within the free 
Port is permitted. 
The influence of the Stettin free zone on the German merchant 
Marine is likewise not believed to have been of considerable importance. 
Statistics covering commerce and shipping ia the free zone.—Separate 
tatistics for the free-zone area are not compiled by the Stettin port 
*thorities, but are combined for the entire port. for which statistics
