ECONOMIC SOCIAL 99 



south of Baltimore there were but two ports 

 of importance, Norfolk and Charleston. 

 The tonnage owned by a port, however, 

 does not always show the business done, 

 and the exports from some of the other 

 Southern ports were quite large. 



North of Baltimore the principal ex- 

 ports were whale oil, fish, live stock, lumber, 

 pot and pearl ashes, rum, furs, beef, pork 

 and mixed agricultural products, together 

 with reexports of East and West India 

 goods. Baltimore, Alexandria and Norfolk 

 were the great exporters of tobacco, grain, 

 flour, beef, pork, and all sorts of agricultu- 

 ral products. While from Charleston, 

 Savannah and the extreme Southern ports 

 went cotton, rice, indigo, cypress wood, 

 deer skins, hides, pork, hams, turpentine 

 and naval stores. 



Table II shows the exports of six repre- 

 sentative states for the year 1810. Massa- 

 chusetts leads easily in foreign exports, and 

 south of Baltimore exports were almost 

 entirely domestic.
