BRITISH WOOL TAADE. 



our North American colonies tiie value of £418,000; 

 and to the West Indies, £114,200 worth. 



" In Europe, our best customer is Germany, which, 

 in 1835, took £631,000 worth. Besides the more fully 

 manufactured goods, Germany took from us, in the 

 same year, 1,191,000 pounds weight of woollen yarn. 

 Of European customers, next after Germany come Por- 

 tugal, which took, in 1835, to the amount of £368,000; 

 Holland, £245,629 ; Italy, £243,582 ; and Belgium, 

 £ 123,727. Russia took only £93,025 worth of wool- 

 len goods. The South American States begin to be 

 good customers ; Brazil took, in 1835, £337,788 worth, 

 and Mexico and other States, £356,700 worth. 



"Looking at the aggregate, the export of 1835 was 

 fully a million sterling in value above that of 1834; 

 but as the price was higher in 1835, this is no certain 

 guide to the proportion of increase in quantity. In the 

 year 1835, we exported to France only £68,000 worth 

 of woollen manufactures. 



" We have already stated the exports of woollen 

 goods to the South American States in 1835 ; the im- 

 port of unmanufactured wool from these States in the 

 same year was £2,176,000 pounds; from France it 

 was 104,000 pounds. 



** We have only to add, as fiscal information con- 

 nected with the foregoing analysis, that of the wool 

 imported in 1835, 26,877,780 pounds paid to the re- 

 venue a duty of a penny per pound; 10,198,526 

 pounds paid one halfpenny per pound ; and 6,397 

 pounds of * red wool* paid sixpence per pound. 



" 1'he wool imported from British possessions docs 

 not pay duty. Of that there were, in 1835, 4,635,811 

 pounds impoited."
