The following returns of movements of vessels will embrace all vessels entering and clearing in the foreign trade at the ports from which the returns are rendered, distinguishing between American and foreign vessels, sailing and steam vessels, and vessels entering and clearing with cargo and in ballast. As a general rule, for statistical purposes, the vessel bringing a cargo from or carrying a cargo to a foreign country should be reported as entered at the first port in the United States where the whole or part of a vessel's cargo is unladen, or where she enters in ballast; and as cleared from the port in the United States where her outward cargo is completed or whence she clears in ballast. The intermediate movements of vessels between domestic ports are not to be returned in the body of the statements of foreign entrances and clearances, but as a supplement to the returns, following the recapitulation, showing with respect to each vessel the domestic port from which arrived or for which cleared. ART. 1938. The order of arrangement of the information embraced in the returns will be as follows: First, sailing vessels, with the total number and tonnage of the same; next, the steamers, with their total number and tonnage, followed by a recapitulation of the total number and tonnage of sailing vessels and of steamers in ballast and with cargoes, respectively. Vessels having on board commodities as lading other than ballast will be returned as with cargo although only partially laden. The net tonnage of vessels is to be returned in all cases, and the fractions of a ton are to be reported in accordance with the rule in Art. 1911 of these regulations.
