lama TRADE.
As regards the value of consignments received here front the Irish Free State, there has been little variation during the three years, the total of about £43,000,000 for 1927 having risen in the following year to £54,000,000, at which it was maintained for 1929. In the same years we sent— including our re-exports—I45,000,000 to the Irish Free State in 1927, about the same amount in 1928, and about £40,000,000 during last year. Taking, however, the trade of the Irish Free State as a whole, there is, of course, a visible adverse balance. Thus for the first sit months of last year, the total "value of imports was about £80,000,000, and the exports about £20,000,000. So far as actual turnover was concerned, however, last year showed an increase both over 1928 and 1927.
