THIS completes the account of cur
trade Tor the last year as far as particu
lars have Coo to my knowledge. In
NV despatch, No. -, transmitted GER
tam statements relating to that trade,
| trplicate of those statements were sent
with No. IA, with the addition ofa print
ed tariff of the duties payable on all mer-
chandize passing through the Sound
duplicate OF the tariff is herewith enclos.
ed. have lately seen a printed state

during the last year, made by CONNER

neral with the document No. s, cncios-
ed with my aforesaid despatch it is
however, more complete as to the num-
bor of vessels, inc,nding all those which
went up through the Belt, and gives q
total OF l27 inc ing that in 1910 the to.
tai was loo only) but states that % of
the l27 were bound to European ports,
having as part of their cargoes 23'l5

returned through the Belt l.; such as
passed tine Sound must have had false
clearances. In the course of Jud :cial
investiga cations, the Danes have already
discovered, as is supposed, sufficient
grounds Tor distrusting the character of
our commerce /; such printed Informal

American house" at Petersburg, re-
commencing itself to its correspondents
by this species Of industry, cannot fail to
augment that eIstrust.
All the old and new cases being now
disposed of. i herewith enclose la

of them and the proceedings which
have been mad on them into one
view. | beg you, Sir, to observe, that
of thirty-eieht cases Of Danish cap
ture on the list Of 1911, there have been
only three appeals of the cap:ors against
the sentences 81 acquitsal given by the
inferior tribunal, so little have been their
