Summing up this table, what we find is that of the
£214,000,000 of net exports, the sum of £17,264,000,
or 8 per cent., consists of" living animals" and" articles
of food" j there is another sum of £3 I, I 7 I ,000, or 15
per cent., for raw materials, chiefly coal, exported;

1 These include articles like refined sugar, which are strictly speak-
ing manufactures, and in ·which raw material previously imported is
used; but the amounts are ~ot large enough tR make a deductiolt
for the present purpose necessary.
" Of course the fttimates in this column are exceedingly rough,
though giving some idea of the problem. It may be hoped that the
subject will be farther investigated. .
