Imports of A/i ric cjltu^ a.l Produce 



The average value of the imported wheat grain was 6s. yd. 

 per cwt., as against 6s. iod. in 1900. 



In the imports of barley there was an increase of 5,000,000 

 cwts. over those of 1000. This was chiefly due to larger 

 shipments from Russia and Roumania, the aggregate 

 receipts from these countries having been 11,876,000 cwts., 

 <:>r more than 50 per cent, of the entire importation from all 

 sources, whereas in 1900 the consignments credited to these 

 two countries amounted to 6,144,000 cwts., and to 9,133,000 

 cwts. in 1899. From the United States we received 2,630,000 

 cwts., 1,600,000 cwts. less than in 1900; while Turkey sent 

 us in the past year 4,635,000 cwts., or an increase of 432,000 

 cwts. on her shipments of the preceding twelve months. The 

 aweraofe declared value of last year's imports of barley was 

 5s. ;d. per cwt., or 6d. less than in iqoo.
