THE RURAL PROBLEM 



" The aggregate of the values returned for the gross output of 

 the various trades is £1,765,366,000, which does not include the 

 output of agriculture and fishery. This aggregate . . . involves 

 a large amount of duplication." 



P. 24 : " Bringing together the totals already obtained, and 

 adjusting for the transfer of butter and cheese from the industrial 

 total to the agricultural, we have, for the value of the output : 



Output of Industry 

 Output of Agriculture 

 Output of Fisheries

Or a total of £1,456,000,000 to £1,471,000,000. 



P. 25 : " In the following table there are presented figures com- 

 paring the value of the output of the United Kingdom (using 

 lower figures of preceding estimates) with that of exports and of 

 net imports — i.e., imports less re-exports. The figures are 

 arranged in groups, within which the effects of duplication have 

 been eliminated, so far as each group by itself is concerned. Thus, 

 in " Agriculture," the value of crops used for stock-food and of 

 grain used for seed has been deducted, and in " mines and quar- 

 ries " the value of coal used in the operation of the mines and 

 quarries has also been deducted. 



* i.e., imports, less re-exports. 



•f- Including net imports of unrefined gold bullion and of silver 

 bullion for use in industry. 



| Including export of jjold and silver bullion refined in the United 

 Kingdom, and exports (on balance) of British gold and silver coin, 

 I lie net imports of foreign and colonial silver coin (valued as 

 bullion).
