*NOTE.—As regards the year ended 31st March, 1934, owing to the great and frequent changes in the incidence and rates of the duties in the apparel group, it is not possible to segregate hosiery figures with absolute accuracy. The figures given for that year should, therefore, be regarded as approximate.
