The total exports from New York for eleven months show a large increase over the same period of 1850, but this excess is composed wholly of specie. Since our last the official statements concerning the Commerce of the country for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1851, have made their appearance, and will be found under our statistical head. They fully corroborate our previous articles úpon this subject, and confirm the fact that the country was never in a more prosperous condition. COMMERCIAL STATISTICS. COMMERCE OF BARCELONA.

EXPORTS OF COFFEE FROM RIO DE JANEIRO. In the Merchants' Magazine for December, 1851, (vol. 25, page 690,) we published an interesting article on "Coffee: and the Coffee Trade," written for our Magazine by John Gardner, Esq., an intelligent American merchant, residing at Rio De Janeiro, but at that time on a visit to the United States. We now subjoin a statement of exports of coffee from Rio De Janeiro, together with the receipts at the various ports of the United States and Europe, for the last ten years, and from January 1, to September 1, 1851 : EXPORTS OF COFFEE FROM RIO DE JANEIRO, AND RECEIPTS AT THE VARIOUS PORTS OF THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE, FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS, AND FROM JANUARY 1 TO SEPTEMBER 1, 1851. Stock in Rio Janeiro, September 17, 1851, 120,000 bags, of which 70,000 was old crop, and 50,000 new. BRITISH EXPORTS TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. A return has just been issued by the British Board of Trade, of the declared value of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported from the United Kingdom in the year 1850, specifying the amount to each country and colony. From this an English cotemporary has compiled the following list, which will show the order in which the various communities of the world rank as as the customers of the United Kingdom: £71,367,885 The Liverpool Times, in commenting upon the foregoing statement, remarks:"Our own possessions, in conjunction with the United States, it will be observed, take nearly one-half of the entire total, and it is satisfactory, by a comparison of the present returns with those for 1849, to find that while the general total to all countries has increased from £63,596,025 to £71,367,885, or about 12 per cent, the increase to our colonies has been equal to 19 per cent, and to America about 25 per cent. With regard to the colonies this improvement is most noticeable in the cases of India and Australia, and it is a fact that the latter, although she is still denied the advantage of steam communication, now takes of our goods 30 per cent beyond the amount taken by the West Indies, that have enjoyed for ten years the favor of the government, at a cost which has lately reached £240,000 per annum. Among the countries to which our exports have declined, as compared with 1849, are Prussia, Russia, Belgium, Greece, Naples, Tuscany, Austria in Italy, Sweden and Norway, New Granada, Buenos Ayres, Peru, Mexico, Syria, Morocco, the Azores, the South Sea Islands, and Greenland. Alí the others show an increase, and in the case of Spain it amounts to nearly 40 per cent. The most remarkable instance, however, is furnished by Central America. The total taken by the small republics in that region has risen from £117,933 in 1849, to £251,073, or nearly 115 per cent. The Republic of Ecuador, also, has risen from £9,689 to £33,289; and Venezuela from £178,998 to £301,094." FUR TRADE OF THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. ACTUAL IMPORT INTO LONDON of furs and SKINS, FROM SEPTEMBER 1, 1850, TO SEPTEMBER 1, 1851-COMPRISING THE ENTIRE COLLECTION of the Hudson'S BAY COMPANY, AND THE ENTIRE COLLECTION FROM CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES, (EXCEPT SHIPMENTS MADE DIRECT FROM THE UNITED STATES TO GERMANY, AND SMALL LOTS USED FOR HOME CONSUMPTION, WHICH CANNOT BE ASCERTAINED.)—THESE ENTIRE IMPORTS WERE SOLD AT AUCTION IN LONDON, IN JANUARY, MARCH, AND SEPTEMBER, 1851. General Parker, of Lycoming county, in a speech before the Senate of Pennsylvania, February 21st, 1851, says:—“I have prepared, from an official source, a table showing the value of the entire Commerce of the lakes, both imports and exports, for the year 1848; and I regret that I have not been able to lay my hand upon the reports for the year 1849. The value of the trade in the year 1848 on "Showing the total value of our lake trade, for the year 1848, to be over one hundred and eighty-six millions of dollars! And I have not included in my calculation the passenger trade-in itself a most important and profitable item. One hundred and eighty-six millions, Mr. Speaker, of a commerce concentrated on your northern frontier, accessible within your own borders, through the best harbor on Lake Erie.” POPULATION OF THE FIVE STATES BORDERING ON, AND CONTIGUOUS TO, THE LAKES, WHOSE PRODUCE CHIEFLY FIND OUTLET BY THE LAKE. COMMERCE OF CUBA IN 1850. FROM THE DIARIO DE LA MARINA, OF HAVANA, NOVEMBER 8, 1851. The general movement of the revenue in 1850 was over $54,615,175 56; in 1849 it was $48,757,016 68. We have thus an increase in the first place of $7,858,158 87, equivalent to 12 per cent. In this increase we reckon the importations, which, in 1850, were over $28,983,227 56, and in 1849, $26,320,460 by $2,662,767 56, that is, by 5.45 per cent and the exportations, which in 1850 were $25,631,948, and in 1849, $22.436,556 681 by $3,195,391, equivalent to 6.54 per cent. Now, compared with each other, the importations of 1850 exceeded those of 1849 by 10 per cent, and the exportations by 14 per cent. We see, then, that notwithstanding the disadvantageous circumstances, which have borne upon the Commerce of the island, it has continued to increase in the same ratio as that which we announced with pleasure in previous years. A multiplicity of figures is not, we are aware, most agreeable to the majority of readers, but without them we are unable to descend to the details of the general movement of Commerce with different nations. These details were as follows, for the two years given: 1849. Importations. 1849. Exportations. $3,113,070 50 1849. Ports. Total. Spanish... $7,682,757 681 $10,795,828 182 United States... French...... English Spanish American.. German.... Belgian Portuguese.. 12,849 25 14,720 50 27,569 75 In order to enable our readers more readily to understand the relation each country thus bears to ours, we have reduced the table to so much per cent, and find the following result: |
