Changes in Irish exports during twelve years

Abstract

The Statistical Branch of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland has been publishing now for twelve years an annual estimate of the "Trade in Imports and Exports at Irish Ports." I propose in this paper to examine the changes in the Exports of Ireland during the twelve years, 1904 to 1915 inclusive, as revealed in these annual "Reports." The changes in the Imports would, no doubt, show "consumption" changes during the same period of great interest. But I am only here dealing with the "production" changes revealed in the altered proportions of the exports that Ireland has been selling in external markets.
