Figures compiled by the Corps of Engineers' District Office here show that the Carteret deep water port (including the state port) han dled a total of 506,200 tons last year against 446,655 tons the year be fore. CI. D. Greer, head of the district statistical branch, advised that the tonnages are preliminary, are sub ject to revision and do not become official until they are published in the annual report of the Chief of Engineers. Grain Tops List Exports for 1956 total 29,500 tons with the major items being grain, 15,000 tons; tobacco, 10,900 tons; and 1,700 tons of fish oil. Imports grossed 114,700 tons. Heavy commodities in this cate gory were asphalt. 58.000 tons and 45.000 tons of fuel oil. Coastwise receipts amounted to 214,0(H) tons, approximately 99 per cent of which were petroleum products. Coastwise shipments ran to some 13,400 tons, most of which was glycol from Kinston's Dul'ont plant being returned to Texas for refining.

The total harbor figure docs in clude. however, some 48,600 tons of military cargo handled there, but it does not take into account other military activities. It is significant, the statistician added, that the 1C56 catch of 296 million menhaden in the Morchead City-Beaufort area was the best of the last 10 years. Second best was 1949 when 231 million were taken. In the same order Southport took 78 million (1956) and 122 million (1949), mak ing the total catch off the Tar Heel Coast 374 million (149,600 tons) in 1956 and 353 million (141,200 tons) in 1949.
