Excess Of imports over exports. .Sl93l0,67
This is very large importation for Boston, for but
six months That city is however, the second importing
port in the Union while 1t ia the fourth ffth
exporting port This accounts for the great difference
in the value of EACH and the in favor Of imports
Nearly three quarters Of the aggregate importations
were from England while only about quarter Of the
exports were to Great Britain and Ireland 1t will be
that Boston has very large trade with the West
Indies and with South America. The imports for the
six months pretty equally divided between dutable
and undutiable goods while nearly vesixths of the
exports in domestic products. We can form no
estimate from the above returns what the aggre

been for the period, as corresponding increase
