*Quantities  carried  by  rail  from  the  stations  in  the  interior  to  the  ports,  303  830  tons  of  13 
cantars,  during  the  financial  year  July  to  June,  1895-96,  against  287,840  tons  in  1894-95. 
flu  the  exports  for  the  years  1891,  1892  and  1893,  those  from  Termini  and  Palermo  are  not 
included,  which,  during  1894  to  1896,  amounted  to  6,000  to  13,000  tons  per  annum.  To  calculate 
the  total  consumption,  10,000  tons  have  to  be  added,  representing  the  estimated  yearly  con- 
sumption in  Sicily. 
\  Stocks  at  Termini  for  the  years  preceding  1896  are  wanting,  but  were  probably  smaller. 
||  Since  the  1st  of  October,  1896,  the  export  duty  of  n  lire  per  1,000  kilograms  was  abolished-
