OUR TRADE WITH FRANCE.
In 1839 our exports to France amounted to 18,336,354 dollars. The principal article which we send to France is cotton. Of the aggregate exports just named, 13,323,142 dollars was in cotton, 710,063 dollars in tobacco, and 329,911 dollars in rice. Our imports from France during the same year, reached the sum of 32,531,321 dollars, of which 15,099,478 dollars was in silks; 1,379,976 dollars in wines; worsted and worsted stuff goods 1,500,000 dollars; linen 500,000 dollars; and manufactured cotton goods, less the one million of dollars. This statement shows an excess of imports over exports, of 14,194,467 dollars for the year above named. In a comparison of the imports of France of 1839 with those of the previous year, it appears that they were nearly doubled–the difference in silks alone being nearly 10,000,000 dollars in 1839 over the imports of 1838–while the increase of exports during the same period was only 2,414,449.
