The amount of exportabe articles brought Tor sale
has far exceeded my expectations and although nave
eeial statements on which 70 ose my O" asnr
nation as 10 the aggregate Of tie export trade OF TINS
country during the reiod named above, believe that
sm quite within the amount when state the total TO
be $500 eco.
The principal articles exported were: silk 5000

The noducton Of silk and tea can no doubt be largely
ucreased as the Japanese admit that they have not
heretofore peed all the eOeoOns produced, or ekeda
tie tea grown.
The Japanese have already learned the manner Of
rrj alng tea for seq voyage, and am OF opinion
lb*t within few year, the choicest teas known In
the United States, will be Of Japanese production, az
many Of the superior TO any OF the teas OF

Blu, little has been done yet with imports, and the
eta lshnent OF extended trade must, Of necessity
be the work Of tine. To certain extent, new wants
uust be created among the masses, and, what IL Of
equal importance, they must discover that the labor
now expended by them in producing given article
will wien dre( ted 10 another employment, produce
in ex, hange either more than they now obtan or in
artis le that il preferable 10 their own.
Attention has been directed 10 the procuring goods
leigtls widths, eolos and patterns suited TO japanese
t,ie; this is an important step in the right direction
for American manufactures, am OF opinion that the
heavy co,tops known in commerce az drills, Jeans,
sbeetires and shiItngs will be the earliest IN demand

the ,t ten months shows satisfactory result, and II
an ordinary degree Of prudence in dealing with the
