Marine Business Statistics Condensed Record of Traffic at Principal American Ports for Past Year LEARANCES in ports of the c; United States in August totaled less than in July while entrances in the main were greater. Although the entrances in New York aggregated a larger net tonnage during August than for any month this year, the clearances at the port showed the low- est record for the year. This month showed a slowing up in business and the figures undoubtedly include a num- ber of ships which have sought refuge in the harbor during the slack period. Traffic through the port of Philadel- phia showed no improvement during August. Not only were the clearances slightly smaller in net tonnage than the month previous, but the ships clearing in ballast inereased. About a third of the ships left the port in ballast dur- ing the month. During this month, however, the foreign entrances and clearances in ballast exceeded the bal- last movement of American ships.
