The decrease in the importations for ls45, compared
with S44, was confined principally coffee and sugar.
while there has been increase of nearly every other
article in the last The importation of the articles
above named coffee and sugar in ls45 was So 6O2 757
less than in lsi4 this decrease than offset by
the increased mpoI taton Of other articles The greatest
increase was in cotton manufactures The receipts of
hemp, both manufactured and unmanufactured, have
fallen of this year about twenty-five per cent We can
attribute this fact principally to the increased growth
and manufacture OF this article in this country The
decrease in the importation Of sugar this year
with last has been caused by the produc
in the States The crop of lsi3 very Short and the
domestic demand foI consumption required much
larger importation than usual which tho 70

number of our staple products finding markets in foreign
countries is increasing every year. Our foreign pro-
vision trade, few years since almost nothing, and
it second only to trade in cotton and tobacco
Our imports have reached the maximum but exports
