TRADE OF THE YEAR.
HEAVY DROP IN EXPORT VALUES.
EXCESS OF IMPORTS,
WELLINGTON. February 4.
Preliminary trade figures given by the Government Statistician show that exports for the year ended December 31, 1926, amounted to £45,275,575, and imports for the same period to £49,889,563, leaving an excess of imports of £4,613,988. The figures for the previous year were: Exports, £55,262,272; imports £52,456,407; balance in favour of exports, £2,805,865. It is evident, therefore, that the return from exports during 1926 was £9,986,697 less than in 1925. Although imports have not shown a corresponding drop, the 1926 figure is nevertheless £2,566,844 lower than that for the previous year. It is worthy of note that imports for the December quarter of 1926 are £1,737,405 less than during the corresponding quarter of 1925.—(P.A.)
