IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF 1883.
(Post.) The New Zealand imports for the year 1883 amounted to £7,974,038 as against £8,609,270 for 1882. Ibis is a large decrease, manifestly due, however, to the over-importation of the previous year being checked. The exports amounted to £7,095,999, a substantial increase over 1882, when the value was £6,658,008. The imports thus exceeded the exports by little more than three-quarters of a million last year, while the excess of imports was as great as two millions m the year bcfoi'c. The detailed export returns for the last quarter of 1883 show an improvement m timber, kauri gum, coal, bacon, cheese, hides, live stock, frozen meat, rabbit-skins, malt, wheat, oatmeal, grass seed and leather, and some smaller items, but a decrease m gold, silver, minerals generally, whale oil, sealskins, fungus, batter, preserved meals, sheepskins, tallow, wool,potatoes and flax. The frozen meat export has increased by nearly a thousand per cent.
