BRUNEI

149T

Native industries- other than sago working are few. Brunei silver-work enjoys. a certain vogue, and would be appreciated if it could be expeditiously put on the market. The women also weave silk cloths and sarongs.

The natives are expert fishermen and the coast waters abound in excellent fislı, which-with rice-form the staple diet of the people. The principal imports are piece goods, tobacco, rice, kerosene and sugar. The main exports are cutch, coal, rubber, sago and jungle produce. Para rubber was exported for the first time in 1914-about 7,000 lbs. The value of rubber exports in 1922 was $91,104. Some Chinese have begun to plant pepper, a product for which Brunei was famous 150 years ago.

The public revenue in 1922 amounted to $204,504, as against $161,520 in 1921; and expenditure to $188,250, as against $197,469 in 1921.
