It is interesting to note that while there wat an
increase in the import of piece goods last year, it shows
a decrease of £ 240during the year Under report. Lack
/
of raarket and the holding of large stocks from the previous
year ar« responsible for the decrease.
Xt will be observed that cotton goods valued at
£ 198,348 are shown as imported from India. This is
aialeading as the bulk of the cargo inported fron the
United Kingdora arrives via India consequently appears under
