Export op Cacao. 



HE export of Cacao from Trinidad has been 

 gradually increasing for many years, and it is 

 probable that the exports will probably continue 

 to increase for some years to come as the area 

 under cultivation is being extended largely, year 

 by year, as. is shewn by the statistics of the 

 Crown Lands Office. The following table which 

 has been kindly compiled for me by the direction of the Collector 

 of Customs (Hon. R. H. McCarthy) and is a valuable record of 

 the Exports of Cacao from Trinidad during the last decade: — 



RETURX OF EXPORTS OF CACAO.
