For the nine months of this year all the imports through Delagoa Bay only reached a value of £56:263, while the exports only reached a total £19:082 being a monthly average of £6:251 in the one case and of £2:120 in the other. Thus, carrying on the average, the entire import trade of the rival port represents, so far, a yearly value £75:014 only. There is not much in these figures to cause dismay.
