Proportion of Agricultural Exports 



Our export trade is paying the Country's debts, and that the extent to which this 

 is the case may be understood, it may be stated that, for the fiscal year 1911-12, agri- 

 cultural exports amounted to 53% of the total export business. In 1912-13, they 

 amounted to 58%; in 1913-14, to 54%; in 1914-15, to 51%; and for the eight months 

 to the 30th November for the fiscal year 1915-16, they amounted to 53%. During 

 the latter period, total exports exceeded total imports by the amount of $121,130,044.
