They do not represent the contributions of the respective dii tricts to the revenue, because duty-paid goods are largely exported from one district to another for consumption, the foreign import trade of the colony being practically centered in the four principE ports, of which the chief one is in the Provincial District of Otago. The duty from stamps and property-tax can only be stated approximately. , 1 Jas. B. Heywood, Treasury, 23rd October, 1884. Accountant to the Treasury.
