The highest value ever exported was in 1872, one of three remarkably prosperous years, when it reached £256,257,000; but much of the increase was owing to inflated prices. For example, in 1872 we exported 3,537 million yards of Cotton Piece Goods, value £58,931,000; in 1884 we exported 4,417 million yards, value £51,661,000. Our Iron and Steel Exports in 1872 were 3,382,000 tons, value £35,996,000; and in 1884 they were 3,496,000 tons, value £24,487,000.
