doing great deal towards improving the markets for

There is large balance against us in our
trade with China, the importations from which
country, we admit into our ports upon the most
favorable terms Tea the principal article imp ,rted
from ChiIa, and comprises than threefourths
our imports from that country and is entered Free Our
exports to China candles, naval stores skins
and furs, ginseng, provisions, four bread, hops

and cotton manufactures. We are rapidly building
up markets in China for manufactures and

can build up trade with the Chinese to exceed the

anxious to draw all the specie they from other na

lance due us in the aggregate of the country
The expectation of cotton alone from the United States
to Great Britain in ls4! was almost sufficient to pay for
the whole of imporations from that country The
aggregate value of the imports in s44 was $40 l22
and the value of cotton exported in the same period
S3e9seo6 More than half of the total exports from
the United States in ls44, Great Britain and de-
pendences and nearly half of total imports into
the United States from that nation The balance in
our favor in our trade with England larger than the
aggregate value of exports to any other country
These returns will convey idea of the Importance
oil the existing commercial relations between Great Bri
tain and the United States and how runous il would be
to many interests in both countries should they be de-
ranged or destroyed Our foreign trade with all coun
tries is small compared with the extent of our internal
trade but 1t is necessary that every outlet for our pro-
duce and manufactures should be fostered and
to preserve our domestic trade in healthy state An
external demand for products, relieves the homo
market and has very favorable effect upon prices
