The general opinion seems to be that this year’s crop of Valencia almonds will exceed last year’s production by 15% to 20%. Inasmuch as these almonds are grown in various parts of Spain and often shipped to Malaga for export, it is difficult to give exact figures. Prices of Valencia almonds are regulated by quotations from Italy, but Spanish farmers in the Malaga district are expecting good prices on account of the small stocks carried over.
The following table gives the total exports of shelled almonds from Malaga, Spain, to all countries and to the United States during the past five years:
| Year. | Total exports. | Exports to the United States. |

| 1916 | 4,548,090 | 2,873,356 |
