which she obtains — q of (D). The — Q of (C) is equal to — q of (C) which, in England,

is produced by the same labour as -q of (D). Therefore, of the labour before employed in 

 producing q of (D), - is liberated, and may be employed in producing (C) or any other com- 

 modity : and this, along with the — q of (Z>), is the gain resulting to England from the trade. 

 Before the trade, Germany produces for home consumption a quantity Q of (C) and a 



certain quantity of (D). During the trade she exports — q of (Z>), with which she obtains

— Q of (C). The — q of (Z>) is equal to — Q of (D) which, in Germany, costs the same

labour as — Q of (C). Therefore Germany obtains an addition of — in the amount of (C), 



and of so much labour as would produce — of the (C) originally consumed, which may be

employed in producing (D) or any other commodity.

In this case during the trade, England exports Q of (C) with which she obtains in

Germany 2 Q or — q of (D). The Q of (C) is equal to -q of (C) which in England is pro-

duced by the same labour as -q of (D). Hence England gains - q of (D) and gains as 



much labour as produced -q of (Z>), which is ready for any new employment. Germany

exports— q of (D), with which she obtains in England, -q of (C) that is, Q of (C). The

—q of (O) is produced with the same labour as -q of (C). Therefore she gains nothing by

the trade. 



But still the trade will go on, for England offering (C) in Germany at the same price as (C) 

 produced in Germany, this supply of (C) will be sold along with the rest ; and if not, a tem- 

 porary depression of its price in relation to (Z>) will find it a market ; and then, by the principle 

 of transferable capital, there will be a transfer of German capital from (C) to (D) till the 



whole quantity requisite to produce the — q of (D) is transferred.
