There is large balance against us in our
trade with China, the importations from which
country, we admit into our ports upon the most
favorable terms Tea the principal article imp ,rted
from ChiIa, and comprises than threefourths
our imports from that country and is entered Free Our
exports to China candles, naval stores skins

The trade between Great Britain and the Uni

The expectation of cotton alone from the United States
to Great Britain in ls4! was almost sufficient to pay for
the whole of imporations from that country The

and the value of cotton exported in the same period
S3e9seo6 More than half of the total exports from
the United States in ls44, Great Britain and de-
pendences and nearly half of total imports into
the United States from that nation The balance in
our favor in our trade with England larger than the
aggregate value of exports to any other country
These returns will convey idea of the Importance
oil the existing commercial relations between Great Bri
tain and the United States and how runous il would be
to many interests in both countries should they be de-
ranged or destroyed Our foreign trade with all coun
tries is small compared with the extent of our internal
trade but 1t is necessary that every outlet for our pro-
duce and manufactures should be fostered and
to preserve our domestic trade in healthy state An
external demand for products, relieves the homo
market and has very favorable effect upon prices
