In order to estimate with greater accuracy than is possible by a statement of values only, the increase or decrease in the actual volume of the trade of the Colony, an index figure was constructed taking the year 1931 as a base. For the purposes of this index number some 185 articles were selected, including the commonest which could be enumerated by quantity. The comparison is given below:-
1931 = 100
By Quantity. By Value. 1932 92.3 1933 84.6 89.1 1934 67.9 74.8 1935 56.4 78.1 + 57.027th April, 1936.
