Miscellaneous Agricultural Imports and Exports. 



The annual Statement of Trade for 1900 gives particulars 

 of the imports and exports of various articles which have not 

 previously been considered of sufficient importance to be 

 enumerated in detail. Imports of baskets and basketware 

 vere recorded to the amount of £239,876, chiefly from 

 Belgium, Holland, France, and Germany, whilst willows 

 and rods for basket-making were also received from 

 Germany, Belgium, Holland, and some other countries 

 to the amount of £52,587, as against £38,162 in 1899. 

 The imports of fresh flowers were valued at £200,585, 

 to which total France contributed £125,229, and the 

 Channel Islands £68,743. Glue stock and pieces for 

 making glue were imported to the amount of 150,802 cwts., 

 valued at £122,618, chiefly from India, Australasia, France, 

 Germany, and Belgium ; while of 213,163 cwts. of manufac- 

 tured glue, size, and gelatine, valued at £463,828, about 90

 Germany, and Belgium participating to a preponderating 

 extent. The re-exports of glue and glue stock amounted to 

 £89,779. Another article of animal produce — viz., bladders,

 the value of £180,682, chiefly from the United States and 

 New Zealand. Rather over one-third — viz., £64,160 — was 

 afterwards re-exported. The articles included under the 

 heading of goods unenumerated were not of great value ; 

 but amongst them may be mentioned wood-fibre and waste 

 (£ 2 7>537)> straw-work (£10,069), albumen (£1 1,485), mistletoe 

 (£9,187), and everlasting flowers (£12,068) ; the re-exports of
