30 Concerning the international traffic of goods handled in the harbours, it can be seen that the most goods have been forwarded to Austria (Table III. Page 436. Traffic of harbours as to countries. Column 1 : Inland traffic. Last column : Inland and foreign traffic together), and the most goods have arrived from Austria (Column 2). In order of magnitude then follow Germany (Column 6), and Roumania (Column 7). It is worth mentioning that in 1933 the share of Roumania amounted to 40-7%, in consequence of great transports of wheat to the seaport of Braila. Figure 1 (page 438) shows the traffic of our harbours for 1934, in thousand quintals. Black areas indicate goods forwarded, and striped areas goods arriving. 2. Traffic of Goods Transferred Between Railway and Navigation Companies. Bulky goods transported for great distances are sent by railway only until it is possible to tranship them, in a properly equipped harbour, for cheaper transport by waterways. The transshipping traffic of harbours being of importance, data on this subject have also been collected ever since 1931. Table IV (page 440) gives information as to the traffic of goods transshipped (1. Danube, 2. Tisza, 3. Drave, 4. Lake Balaton harbours ; Column 1 : contains transfers from railway to boat, Column 2 : from boat to railway, and the last column : total traffic in quintals, each harbour separately). Figure 2a (page 438) gives the transfer in thousand quintals : from railway to boat (full line), from boat to railway (dotted line). Figure 2b represents the transferring traffic, showing each commodity separately. Most of the transfers have been made in the Danube and Tisza harbours. Table V (page 442) analyses the traffic of these harbours as follows : Column 1. inland traffic, 2. traffic for abroad,. 3. from abroad, 4. transit traffic. 90% of the transferring traffic is of international character. Table VI (page 444) contains the transfer traffic for different goods separately ; among these cereals predominate, and salt, forestry products and mineral oils are also of importance. (Table VI. Item 1. Cereals, 2. Milling products, 3. Salt, 4. Forestry products, 5. Building materials, 6. Coal, 7. Mineral products, 8. Mineral oil, 9. Pro­ducts of the iron and metal industry, 10. Manufactured articles, 11. Other articles.) 3. International traffic on Waterways. Since the Treaty of Trianon, waters flowing through Hungary may — with observance of certain rules — be used by any nation without obligation to render statistics data of the goods transferred. As to the number and traffic of boats plying on inland waterways, some information can be obtained through the controlling activity of the river police (Royal Hungarian Harbour Master's Offices). Boats entering or leaving the territory of the country have to report their arrival and depar­ture to the harbour master's offices. Statisticians work up the data of these reports. Data on international traffic have been collected in the frontier harbour of Mohács and Szob on the Danube, and Szeged on the Tisza. Table VII (pages 446—448) comprises data of the years 1931—34, in quintals. Column 1 contains description of goods ; group of columns 2. upstream traffic, 3. downstream traffic. Within the column groups 2 and 3, the traffics of the Danube
