✨ Livestock and Shipping Statistics

No. 3.—COMPARATIVE TABLE SHOWING THE NUMBERS OF LIVE STOCK (EXCLUSIVE OF STOCK BELONGING TO ABORIGINAL NATIVES) IN THE YEARS 1858, 1861, 1864, AND 1867, RESPECTIVELY.

Year.	Horses.	Mules and Asses.	Cattle.	Sheep.	Goats.	Pigs.	Poultry.
1858*	1,680	5	20,987	223,597	343	1,485	†
1861	4,790	15	34,544	619,583	156	2,218	26,412
1864	11,225	30	57,594	1,309,413	724	6,455	86,403

*The Province of Southland is included in the Returns for 1858.

†Poultry not enumerated in 1858.

THE GENERAL TOTALS FOR THE COLONY, INCLUDING OTAGO, FOR 1867, ARE AS FOLLOW:—

Year.	Horses.	Mules and Asses.	Cattle.	Sheep.	Goats.	Pigs.	Poultry.
1867	65,715	323	313,835	8,418,579	11,969	115,104	676,065

No. 4.—SHIPPING, 1868.*

ENTERED INWARDS.

Port of Arrival.	Whence.	Vessels.	Tons.	Crews of Vessels.
		With Cargo.	In Ballast.	Total.
Dunedin	United Kingdom	22	...	22 }
"	British Possessions	84	...	84 }
"	Foreign Countries	19	...	19
Oamaru	British Possessions	7	...	7
Totals for Otago*	...	132	...	132
Totals for Colony, including Otago*	...	846	5	851

For geographical reasons, the Intercolonial Steamers, on arriving at or leaving New Zealand, do not make Dunedin their first port of arrival, or their last port of departure. This accounts for the very large disproportion between the Shipping Returns for Otago and those for New Zealand — other Ports, such as the Bluff and Hokitika being credited with Shipping, though a very large proportion of the cargo is in fact shipped to or from Dunedin.
