Great Britains South American trade
with that four country, for the year
1873. South America exports to the
United States $83, ,962, 600; to Great
Britain, $117, 799, 600. She imports
from the United States $27 $3.50, 600;
from Great Britain Sill ,915,00O In
a word, South America exports to
Great Britain "a per cent, more of her
products than she does to the United
States, and she purchases about 300
per cent. more from the markets OF
Great Britain than she docs from those |
of the United States. Besides the |
English trade, business relations have |
been established by Italy, to run from |
Genoa to Buena Ayres.
The rapid increase in the expolta- |
tion of the leading articles will appear

The rapid increase of the exports in
the last decade, has been from causes
which have not exhausted themselves.
The valley of the Amazon contains an
inexhaustable supply of ornamental
woods, the plains are covered with
herds and cattle, from which we get
hides for leather and tallow; the low
lands produce in abundance, coffee,
sugar, rice and tobacco; and from the
mines we get precious metals, stones
and diamonds.
l. Manufacturers should visit the coun-
try, learn the disposition of the natives,
the manner of dealing with them, and
THEIR PRESENT AND FUTURE WANTS
and then send them the best work yol
can produce. There has been toe
much of the wooden nutmeg system
praeticed, and England is favored OF
account of the stability of her goods.
