In this Account it will be perceived the greatest increase is in the articles of .sperm and black oil, ambergris, timber, flax, and kauri gum, which are of great importance in a commercial point of view ] the next most striking increase appears amongst the staple products, namely, hay, flour, cheese, hams and bacon, pork salted, and onions, affording a most conclusive proof of the general advancement and thriving state of this district of New Zealand. The decrease in grain arises from the importation of hand mills and machinery for grinding wheat, the purchase of which has enabled the aboriginal population to bring their supplies of giain into home consumption, in lieu of exporting it as heretofore. Lhe export of copper ore has diminished from the cessation of work at the “ Bon Accord Mine. These Returns fully demonstrate the increasing prosperity of the general trade of the Port. W. Young, Collector.
