Totals of above Imports (Estimated Values)

• Estimated, where possible, from British Trade Volumes. (a) The rate of conversion is la. 94d, the dollar.

Note. This return deals with the import trade of the ports of Singapore, Penang, and Malacca in certain specified articles; the value of the inter-settlement trade is excluded, but a small amount of import trade from the Federated Malay States is included in the Agures for Foreign Countries. It must be remembered that the trade of the Straits Bettlementa is largely transit trade and that only ary small proportion of the imports are retained for home consumption.
