 TABLK OF EXPORTS. 



277 



To these more important articles of export, may be subjoined, 

 at the like average of six years, coffee, 80,630 pounds ; cotton, 233 

 bales and 300 scroons. Almost this entire quantity of cotton may 

 be considered of Venezuelan growth, and to have gradually in- 

 creased, from 96 scroons, in the year 1850, to 703 bales and 194 

 scroons in 1854, and 81 bales 312 scroons in 1855. Coffee, on 

 the contrary, seems to have been on the decrease ; the quantity 

 exported being, for the same years, 136,835, 56,391, and 48,666 

 pounds respectively. 



I could have wished to give in pounds sterling, the value of 

 exports for the above period of five years ; but it is with difficulty 

 I have been able to procure the required information for the two 

 following years.
