View 9th Trade Of Great Britain.


Our exports aud imports are nearly as high
as on an average of any three years during the
war, that is TO say, take the average of foreign
demand during 1911, 1919, and 1918, and the
average amount of any one of those wears
will not exceed the expectations of the pre-
sent year.
The average yearly tonnage of British ships,
during the war, was about two millions and a
half. In 1919, one of the best years, il did
not exceed two millions six hundred thous-
and. Now, in 1921, when the accounts were
laid before Parliament lat the beginning of the
current year, the actual yearly tonnage ex-
ceeded two millions six hundred and ffty
thousand,-an increase of City thousand tons
upon hegreatest year ofthe war. In the other
head, under our Navigation, the number of
British seamen, the number at present en-
ployed equally corresponds with the amount
ia The greatest year of the war the average
amount 10 war being one hundred and seventy
thousand, and The estimated amount of the
current year exceeding this number by nearly
One-tenth.
The nest general head is Of course our
Commerce, by which we mean our foreign
trade, Our Exports and Imports. Under this
mead likewise, there is the same promising as
poet of the condition of our national resources.
la the.best year Of the war, about the year
not exceed thirty-Gye millions whereas in
1919 they exceeded thrty-scven millions ;
and for the present year are estimated to ex-
coed that sum by four or FIVE millions with
respect 10 our Exports, the same favourable
state Of things will be found to exist under
every branch of them. Ia the average amount
Of a year Ofwar, when we supplied the con-
tinent, aud the whole trade of the world al
most conferred in this country, the Imports
did net exceed sixty millions, and in the cur
rent year it is estimated that they will not fall
short of that amount by more than one or two
millions.
1t appears that about FIVE hundred thousand
bales of cotton have been grown in America
during the last year, Of which upwards Of
three hundred thousand have been exported
10 England, and principally to Liverpool and
Glasgow.
