From [1876 to 1858 the exports ranged from about five million to nearly nine million francs, the best of the years being 1978. From 1884 to 1887 the trade was brought almost to a standstill by the war, hardly any more rice being produced than sufficed for local requirements, and in none of those years did the exports much exceed a value of 800,000 francs. In 1888 they sprang to over nine million, and in 1889 to nearly fourteen million, sinking again in 1890 te SAVOL
