The cause of the increased export was stated in the review’ of the trade of
1887-88 in the following words: " With a revival in the shipbuilding trade in
" the autumn of 1887, there was a revived demand for teak, and the exports of the
" year were on a much larger scale, though still below’ the figures of previous years.
“ The spurt has not yet died out in the shipbuilding yards, and the export of teak
“ still continues to be rather active.” Those remarks applied also to the trade of
1888-89 and may be held to apply to the year under review. Up to the time of
writing in the present year, however, the trade has been conducted on a much
more restricted scale.
The exports have been as follow:
