In the case of maize, the imports in the form of grain were 

 2,800,000 cwts. short of those of 1900. The United States 

 supplied 25,565,000 cwts., or about 50 per cent, of the entire 

 importation last year, while Roumania sent 10,017,000 cwts. 

 Slightly more maize meal was received than in 1900. The 

 average value of the maize imported in 1901 was 4s. 9 id. per 

 cwt. as compared with 4s. yd. in the previous year.

 currants and bananas), and hops. In the case of potatoes
