REPORT OF THE STATISTICIAN. 995 
Our export of sea-island slightly increased, and all went, as in 1877, to 
the United Kingdomand France. Of other. raw cotton nearly the whole 
was shipped to. European countries; British America and Mexico took 
23,326 bales, and 10 bales went to one of the ports of Africa. The 
United Kingdom slightly lowered her demand for raw material, while 
continental “Europe took an enlarged quantity, especially France, Ger- 
many, Belgium, and Netherlands. Of uncolored fabrics, the largest 
shipment, 30,313,831 yards, was to China; England, the next in order, 
took 10,906, 738 yards: Our total export of uncolored cottons shows an 
inerease of 11,759,045 yards; colored cottons an increase of 8 164,009 
yards. The value of these two classes increased $1,092,019, but this 
was more than counterbalanced by the decline of $1, 788, 099 in ‘the value 
of “other manufactures.” In regular lines of export the figures of 1878 
show an encouraging advance, but in miscellaneous articles the trade 
has been less fortunate. The following table shows the eotton move- 
ment abroad :
