IMPORTATION OF COCHINEAL INTO GREAT BRITAIN. Statement of imports of cochineal into Great Britain at six different periods, from SKETCH OF THE COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, 1840. AS COMPILED FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR HAZARD'S UNITED STATES REGISTER. IMPORTS. The imports in 1840, (year ending 30th September,) amounted to $107,141,519, exceeded by the exports $24,944,427. This amount varies from the tables accompany. ing the report of the secretary. Which shows the imports in 1840 to have been less than in 1838 by $6,575,885, and than in 1839, $54,950,613. Of the imports, $92,802,352 were in American, and $14,339,167 in foreign vessels. From Sweden and Norway, Holland, British West Indies, Hayti, Spain, and Spanish West Indies, except Cuba, Italy, Venezuela, and Chili, the imports exceed one million The amount of exports in 1840 amounted to $132,085,946 Being an excess in 1840 over 1838 of $23,599,330, and over 1839 of $11,057,530. Domestic exports in 1840 amounted to $113,895,634, and foreign exports to $18,190,312. In 1840 the domestic exports exceeded those of 1839 $10,361,743. The exports exceeded the imports $24,944,427. Some of the principal domestic exports in 1840 were Russia, Danish West Indies, Hayti, Italy, Trieste, Texas, Chili, and China, each took of the exports over one million. Showing that there has been an excess of imports of $2,748,561 of foreign gold and silver, and an export of $2,235,073 of American in its place. Of the whole amount of domestic exports, the southern states exported, viz :— From this statement it would appear that the southern states export nearly three fourths of the domestic products of the United States; of which Louisiana exports nearly one half. But as the Mississippi is the natural outlet of the southwestern and western states which do not appear in the tables to have any exports, they ought to be considered in connection with that state. Again, they are entitled to a credit for a con. siderable portion of the exports from the middle and eastern states, such as the cotton, tobacco, rice, &c. The following is a similar classification of the several states with respect to the imports of 1840:* |
