In comparing the value of the manganese-ore with that of other 
minerals produced in India it is usual to use the export value of the 
manganese-ore. According to this method manganese-ore was the sixth 
in order of value for the years 190.3 to 1905, and third in 1906 and 1907 
But the true value on the world's markets is the c. i. f. value of the. 
ore. Inserting this in the table of values and making a few corres- 
ponding alterations in the figures for other Indian minerals, manganese- 
ore is seen to stand fourth in order of value in 1906 and third in 1907. 
Most of the other Indian mineral products are not, however, valued in 
the raw condition, but in the condition in which they are fit for man's 
use. If the manganese ore be given the value the manganese has when 
converted into ferro-manganese, then manganese- ore shares the first 
place with coal as regards value. Since, however, the value to India is 
the export value of the ore, and not either its c. i. /., or ferro-manganese 
value, it is evident that the difference between the export value and 
the ferro-manganese value may be taken as a rough measure of the 
loss that India suffers by exporting its ore in the raw condition, instead 
of smelting it in the country. The following table shows the value o 
the Indian output of manganese-ore for the years 1905, 1906 and
