This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...and Meiling passes. In imports the demand continued unabated, and the new ports only created new markets and caused no diminution of the Canton trade, though, owing to the facilities which had already been discovered for smuggling from Hongkong, the statistics show some abatement. The trade in British vessels for the four years 1844-1847 averaged per annum, imports $11,190,750, exports $16,671,825; and for the four years 1849-1852, imports $9,039,000, exports $10,631,000. This was, however, a marked decrease from 1837, when, excluding, as usual, opium and treasure, the imports by British ships were valued at $14,958,485 and the exports at $25,339,284, the latter made up chiefly by tea and silk. In 1837, excluding opium and treasure, the value of the trade of Canton under all flags was: imports $18,539,777, to which raw cotton contributed $8,225,513, while cotton piece goods were only making a beginning; and exports $36,075,260, to which tea contributed $22,007,410, raw silk $8,154,766, and woven silk $3,051,205. In 184695 the Canton trade under all flags was: imports $13,294,898, including raw cotton $5,095,407 and cotton piece goods $2,678,189; exports$22,917,406, including tea$17,199,374, raw silk $1,412,550 and woven silks $1,353,640. In the import trade the relatively enormous trade 96 in foreign cotton manufactures had made a good start; but the import of raw cotton from India still continued for some years, the following being the figures of the Canton import for the years 1841-1849: lb. 1841... 69,084,500 1842... 106,700,500 1843... 119,768,500 (including 2,218,000 lb. from U.S.A.) 1844.. 114,068,500 " 1,154,000 lb.
