Actual 1885 1,251,889 Estimate 1886 1,230,973 Revised Est: 1886 1,304,263 Estimate 1887 1,291,970

Most items show an increase on the original estimate for 1886, so I suppose the cloud of depression is passing away. Spirit licenses show a decrease, the scheme of Spirit farm having been given up on 1st April last. Opium licenses show an increase, the farm having been let for 3 years in March last.
