conditions existing throughout the rice-producing countries of the 
world, and the tariff and other shipping conditions under which the 
importations are made. 
QUANTITY AND VALUE OF RICE IMPORTED. 
Through the courtesy of the Department of Commerce the detailed 
list of rice imports shown in Table I was secured. It will be seen 
on examining this table that the quantity and value of imported 
rice have become greater from year to year, and especially is the 
increase noticeable in the milled rice when the total for the fiscal year 
ended June 30, 1914, is compared with that of 1912 and 1913. Table I 
shows that practically $5,000,000 worth of rice was imported during 
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1914, an increase of about 60 per cent 
over the importation of 1913 and 100 per cent over that of 1912.
