Export Trade.

From the various diagrams in other parts of this Guide there is abundant evidence of the vitality of the export trade of New Zealand, which has been carefully fostered by the facilities afforded by the New Zealand Shipping Company.

In 1886 the exports per head of the population amounted to £11 9s. 3d.; in 1891 to £15 3s. 10d.

New Zealand exports exceed the imports by £3,000,000.

The exports during 1891 from each of the New Zealand ports exceeded £1,000,000,

Lyttelton £1,726,155
Wellington 1,274,574
Dunedin. 1,243,743
Auckland £1,218,321
Napier. 1,184,826

The exports of wool, sheepskins, mutton, tallow, and preserved meats during 1891 amounted to £5,663,081.

The export trade of New Zealand to the United Kingdom is rapidly approaching that of Victoria, which possesses nearly double the population.

The value of New Zealand exports increased from £6,253,350 in 1882 to, £9.400,094 in 1891.
