The value of the existing export trade from India is still very great. In 1904-5 the opium exported was worth £7.082,000, the price per chest being exceptionally high. In the two following years it was-over six millions and in FLATS; 1907-8 the value had dropped to £5,782,000. This year it will be still lower. The loss of revenue to the Government of India, during the current, fancial year is put at only £206 000 in the Budget statement, as compared LACE SCARFS, MOTOR VEILS with the recepis last year, but the decrease is cumulative, and hence the necessity for caution in carrying out the new policy.
