 ery. The places whose vessels have not traded are omitted from the 

 table. These are : Farsuud, Stavauger, Floro, and Nordmore, with a 

 total of 15 vessels. One column shows how many vessels have traded, 

 and the individual vessels which have dealt in two or more of the articles 

 mentioned in the table are reckoned under each of these. Deducting 

 the three passenger vessels from Helgoland and two from Lofoten and 

 Vesteraalen, which have engaged in trading, 119 vessels or 20 j^er cent, 

 of the 501 merchant vessels carried with them trading goods. Including 

 the 30 merchant vessels from Loffodeu, which were laid up, and which are

 ber was 114, or 15 per cent. -, last year 148, or 24 per cent. Of the vessels 

 from Trondhjem 48 per cent, traded, and of those from Helgelaud 29 per
