Payta, the port for the " Grovm " barks from Loxa. The price of bark 

 at this port for the last nine years has been twenty-four dollars the cwt. ; 

 but during the last year the price has risen to thirty dollars, where it is 

 likely to remain for some time. The usual annual export amounts to 

 140,000 lbs., the actual quantity shipped in 1861, and it is valued at 

 8400?.

 gena " bark. The quantity exported varies very much in diiferent years, 

 the price being at present about twenty dollars the cwt. In 1857 the 

 export of bark amounted to 516,600 lbs. ; in 1858 to 533,300 lbs. ; in 1859

The " Grey " barks were exported, in foimer years, from Callao, and in 

 small quantities from Huanchaco and Lambayeque, but of late years none 

 has been exported. 



The " Carthagena" barks from New Granada are exported from the ports 

 of Carthagena and Santa Martha, and also from the httle ix)rt of 

 TuMACO on the Pacific coast. From 1849 to 1855 great quantities were 

 exported, but in the latter year the supply began to fail. The existing 

 civil war in New Granada has still further injured this trade. No reliable 

 account of the export of bark from the above ports of New Granada has 

 been received.

 amount of bark annually exported may be taken at 912,900 lbs., valued
