THE EXPORT TRADE or THE UNITED
STfTES.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS EXPORTED LAST YEAR
THE RELATIVE QUANTITIES PURCHASED BY
FOREIGN NATIONS.
Mr.. Edward Young, Chief of the Bureau of
Statistics gives In the monthly statement just issued
lucid statement of export trade, as regards home
products during the calendar year ended Dec. 81 1870
II gives the Of the countries to which products
exported and states the value and quantity Of the
several commodities which they purchase While these
particulars Of special value to the mercantile COM
munty they eloquently confirm the wisdom Of the Pro-
tectiye policy which Is gradually releasing the country
from the caprces Of foreign markets while Is increas
ing the material wealth Of every section of the Union.
Taking breadstus first, these returns show that the
rOivisn denia"a 10 -V' si.oN.-"o'"7 Ti' 'i'' "-'u
Brooklyn and Jersey City, consumes annually more
American corn, wheat, and -four than all the nations
abroad The value OF the breadsfs exported last year
only .Io6Oi9 and Of this amount the British Isles
received s3I3JOl9, than half And as the price
abroad IS gradually diminishing, and Russia and other
countries increasing their surplus product, it Is
clearly deusiye TO expect that foreign countries
ever furnish large aud profitable market for tho grain
OF the Great West.
The demand for cotton satisfactory. Foreign
countries bought II from TO the value OF s29373 sos
England buying in round numbers TO the amount Of

s nearly all countries having cotton factories purchase
some Of their material through England. these g.

The competition for the European supply ia, however
becoming formidable In 1868 India sent four times and
Brazil aud Egypt each five times more cotton TO En-
gland than they did In 1854.
The expectation Of tobacco reached s669o4 in 1870
The returns show that Of that amount England pup
chased si7ss23, Germany p,5835i9, and France s12.

abroad In more OF less manufactured state. from Que

duct having purchased TO the extent of s7S763S Bel

The foreign demand for provisions other than bread
stus was very large last year, as the
war diminished tho supply from other sources. They
are the best in which export the products

for them abroad and that s the cheapest in the world
for large quantities. The term "prOvisOns" includes
bacon pork cheese, butter and lard and Of these we
sent abroad quantities valued IN the aggregate at $

that amount. Agricultural implements, sewing-ma-

ued down to very recent date. About two months
