It may be added that Stockton's prestige as a port for the shipment of coals never did stand very high, and it has recently been reduced almost to zero. We find from the elaborate and carefully- authenticated tables furnished to the commissioners ap- pointed by Parliament to inquire into the extent and duration of our coal supplies, that whereas the shipments of coal from Stockton between 1851 and i860, both inclu- sive, reached 3,281,307 tons, they had in the succeeding nine years fallen off t...o the miserably small total of 17,669 tons. But while the coal export trade of Stockton has declined (chiefly for want of adequate shipping facilities), the trade of every other port on the north-east coast has been largely stimulated by the growth of the railway system. The shipments of coal from the Hartlepools did not exceed 884,408 tons in 1845 ; a gradual increase took place be- tween that year and 1850, when the aggregate shipments rose to 1,562,400 tons; and in the decennial period between Traffic in 1 860.
