872 REPORT—1885,. 
price of each article in 1883 is 1 or 100, according to the use or otherwise 
of the decimal point. The index for quantity is the same as that for value 
in the standard year (1883) ; that for 1884 is arrived at by dividing the 
value index by the price index, and is shown in the last column. The 
variations in prices between these two years are not sufficient to alter 
many of the smaller index numbers unless carried to one or two decimals. 
It will be seen, however, how few are the articles of which the quantity 
is large enough to have much influence upon the total result. 
British Goods exported in 1884, compared with those of 1883.
