CUSTOMS REVENUE.
Quarter ending 30th September Increase. 1871 £183,722 1872 203,277 ... £19,565 1873 213,325 ... 40,048 1874 ... ... 311,631 ... 68,300 This shows an increase of £108,354, or more than 50 per cent, over 1872, and an increase of 70 per cent, over 1871 ; whilst the unfavorable nature of this winter for business is proved by the following results, derived from the table compiled by Mr. Gore, dated Ist October, published in this journal last month for June, July, August, and September, compared with an average for same months made over several years :—Kainfall —the average of several previous years for four months, 20 - 203 inches; this year, during similar four months, 33'735; rainy days, 61; and this year, 92 out of 122 days, or three wet days against average showing two wet days. The revenue and rainy days have kept nearly equal pace apparently ; but, in fact, it took the rain four days what the revenue accomplished in three days—or four months to three—to yield even the 50 per cent.
