The export of gold for the ' six months ending 30th June is valued at £280,000 as against £H9,000 for the first six months of last year. Ow* * ing to the rainy season being in the last half of the year, the., return ia' much greater as a rule than in the * first half of the year. The revenue for the year ending 30th Juae was £681,000 as against £575,000 for the year ending 30th June, 1803, showing an increase of £106,000 on the year."
