The trade with each country. — The extent of trade with each country 

 appears in Table 3, showing the value of fishery products imported 

 from and exported to, and the balance of trade with each foreign coun- 

 try during the year ending June 30, 1894. In this table omission is 

 made of ambergris, coral, cuttle-fish bone, seaweed and skins, the cus- 

 toms returns not being in sufficient detail to permit a statement of the 

 trade in these articles with each country. As the customs returns do 

 not show the imports for consumption from each country, it is necessary 

 in this compilation to use the extent of the imports, although the former 

 would furnish abetter basis for comparison.
