1t cannot be argued from the above table of
imports that the demand for the island trade has
decreased nearly one-half. The stock OF goods
on hand January LIST, 1857, was large, being the
excess of importations of previous years, which
had accumulated in the market; and as the in
portations are controlled almost wholly by resi-
dent importers, the orders for new goods were
checked till the market changed. The check in
the imports has had a beneficial result IN working
off the old stocks and creating a vigorous demand
for the new importations which will begin to ar
rive soon after the first of September.
1t is not likely that the total importations for
this wear will exceed $500, 600, which is only
two-thirds of the average of the four previous
years, which was about 81 200 900 per annum-
But the impulse given to importing will probably
he carried on to the next year and the imports
for 1853 will equal the latter sum-.
In exports there has been a marked improve
ment over former years. The active demand
which has existed in California for our produce,
and particularly for sugar, coffee and hides has
given an impulse to our export trade which must
react favorably in increased efforts on the part
OF producers of our staples. The only limit to
our exports has been the ability of our planters.
So great has been the demand for our principal
staple, sugar, that there are not ten tons to be
found here in first hands, although it should be
stated in this connection that this is not the sea-
son for grinding, only one mill being at work
now. The grinding season will commence IN
October, when it is estimated that 400 to 500 tons
of sugar, with a proportionate quantity of mo-
lasses. will be manufactured as fast as the mills
can turn it out.

Domestic Exports

Total value Slossois .
The above table does not include foreign merchan-
disc exported, nor supplies furnished to ships.
Should our exports continue brisk till the close
of the year, the total will probably exceed thatof
any previous wear, even that of 1852 which
amounted to S63S ,395. The domestic produce
exported for the first six months of 1857 very
nearly equals that of the entire year of 1856,
which was $780, 48.
But there is a view of this export trade which
must not be overlooked. Almost the entire
amount of the produce reported above as exported
has gone to San Francisco, Columbia River,
Puget Sound and Vancouver's Island. The north
west coast is then our principal market, and will
probably continue such for many years. The ex-
port trade thither must increase every year, SUBJ
iect of course to greater or less demand ON us ac-
cording to the prices offered. Here lies the key
to the future wealth of this group. Whatever
we produce that our ~neighbors cannot, will
ALWAYS be called for by them, not at a stated fig
ure, but at such prices as the fluctuations of COM
merce will allow. Our sugar, syrup, molasses
and coffee will always be wanted at some price,
and now. while prices are renumerating, Is the
time to extend the manufacture or Gu. ~tivation of
them, as a permanent occupation.
While we find for our staple products the best
if not the only market on the northwest coast,
and particularly in San Francisco, we must look
to the same quarter for our supplies, 50 far as
they can be procured there at fair prices. 1t is
a law of trade that that country which can fur
nish its products or merchandise at lower prices
than any other, will find the most customers. If
San Francisco or Oregon can supply these islands
with the staples wanted, cheaper than Boston,
New York, Liverpool or Bremen, it is a moral
certainty that they will be called on to supply us.
Hence it is, that nearly four-ffths of the i'm
ports in the table published above, are from the
northwest. The proportion of imports from that
quarter, has been larger for the past half year
than ever before, owing to the circumstance that
only one or two ships from Eastern American
ports have come in with cargoes; but the proper
ton of imports fiom California, as compared
with other foreign ports, will continue to show
an annual increase. The imports from the north
west ports for the past six months (about $780,
000) nearly equal those of the entire year, 1856,
from the same quarter ls24s ,82c).
We allude to these facts to show to our San
n~apcisco friends the changes which are working
in t6s, OF trade. For many articles, such
as lumber. aoa4 Uninss Chinese and Manila

SPECIAL BUSINESS NOTICE.
THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
Y, JULY 80.

WE are enabled in this number of our paper to
present a statement of the imports and exports
for the first half of the year 1857, closing June
3Oth, together with a comparison of the imports
for the four preceding years. The average impor-
tation for the first half of the four years from
1856, as given above, is S525 ,lS4, and this year
being but 1921 900, shows a falling off of nearly
one-half. On looking over the table to discover
whether this falling off is in any particular kind
of imports, it will be seen that the decrease in
each class has been in about the same proportion.
