Although the gross quantity of these fish cured was quite equal 

 to that of the preceding season, a gradual decrease in the quantity 

 exported has been going on for several years. This was partly owing 

 to the differential duties charged in Spain, which had the effect of 

 reducing the shipments to the Spanish markets. The Board are 

 glad to observe that the proposed commercial treaty with Spain, 

 which gives this country the benefit of the most favoured nation 

 clause, is making satisfactory progress.
