Revenue from animal products increased by approximately £15,000 in 1910 compared to the previous year. The decrease in "great revenues" was only apparent. Revenues that previously came from gum and ghee, whose sources were unknown, are now accounted for by customs. Gum exports have doubled since 1905. Table I shows that revenues from profitable departments such as customs, post, telegraph, and railways increased significantly compared to 1909.
