Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...the phenomenal progress of New Zealand under various headings--population, production, stock-breeding, public services, &c.--will be found in a table prepared by the Deputy Eegistrar-General (Mr. Geo. Drury) for the ten years ended December, 1891 and 1901, at the end of this volume. The Government's total revenue for the year 1901 was 6,152,839 ($30,764,195), while the total expenditure for the same year was 5,895,000 ($29,475,000). The imports for the year ending 31st March, 1901, amounted to 11,000,000 ($55,000,000), and the exports to 15,000,000 ($75,000,000).

Some of the items for export are: Wool, wheat, oats, butter, cheese, meat, kauri-gum, hemp, rabbit-skins, sheep-skins and pelts, sawn and hewn timber, manufactured leather, and tallow.

The revenue for the year ended 31st March, 1902, showed a surplus of 256,924 ($1,284,620), and, adding to this the balance brought forward from the previous year, 532,564 ($2,662,820), we-have a total of 789,488 ($3,947,440). The surpluses of previous years, during which the Seddon Ministry has held office, were equally large and indicative of prudent control, having regard to the fact that, simultaneously with the marked increases in revenue, there have been substantial reductions in the duties on the necessaries of life, and in directions conducive to stimula...
