realised profits to the grower and native dealer, most of it showing considerable losses. The export of coal during the year shows a decrease of 13,200 tons. This decrease is attributable to the out- put of the Takashima mine having diminished through the mine igniting. With respect to the Takashima mine,

Mr Flowers further observes

During the month of June alone the output avenged about 650 tons per working day. An independent seam of about nine feet of coal formerly worked in Japan fashion, but abandoned for want of adequate appliances for removing the water, has recently been opened out, and an additional supply of about 200 tons per day is expected therefrom in a few months. The Takashima screened coal continues to be used by vessels of war of the French, United States, Russian and Garman Navies. It is used by some of the fast steamers on their voyages from China to London with the first teas of the season, which speaks for its qualities as a steam coal Shipments and sales of Takashima coal during 1876 were as follows:***
