What tho United States Sends to For
eign Countries.

THE entire value of the agricultural
products, gold, and few manufactures
exported from the United States for the
fiscal year 1874 amounted to $6g3.039,-
054, in currency value The gold valua-
ton of the same was $685., 913 AS, which
is greater than the valuation of our for
eigD imports for the same period by over
S57 100000, and the balance OF trade is
consequently In our favor by that
amount.
AS the United States furnish the prin-
cipal market for the sale of British mer
chandise, SO Great Britain and her de-
Tendencies offer the principal markets
for our exported productions. We sent
to the markets of that nation during the
last fiscal year agricultural products to
the value Of $40, 945, $40 in greenbacks,
not gold, which is nearly two-thirds of
the entire value of all our exports for
that period. OF that amount we shipped
direct to England S30s s75, 292, and to
Ireland and Scotland S64, 690.2l6. The
value ofproducts received last year from
Great Britain was 1855, 1876, 597, gold.
Next to Great Britain, Germany is our
best customer, S64 BAG being our re-
ceipts for her purchases. To France and
her dependencies we shipped $50. 4S5, 045
worth OF products, of which France re-
ceived directly over 100000 worth.
