kets should be added to the first and placed to our
credit in qudating the Indebtedness created by the i'm
ports supposing the invoice value Of our imports
amounted to $i20000ooO, which with the duties should
reach the sum of Sl6e 000as an Offset to this our
exports valued at the different places of shipment at
SIG 900 900 to which add twenty per cent profit nett
making the amount to credit Sl39 200 OO0 leaving
balance against US Of $2 oOo It may not be proper
to add the duties to all the imports as portion of our
lmporations IS upon home account owned here duties
paid here. and profits retained here on these 9oods we
only become indebted for the first costs but on merchan
chandse sent out foreign account remtances are
penses may be made here This may reduce the balance
against us to about $lO0O0OO0 amount sometime
since fixed upon being beyond the value Of
tations
