In the years 1784, 1787, and 1788, there appears to have been no trade 

 with the natives ; but in 1789 it amounted to /"i 2,728, and in 1790 to 

 ^4,080, comprehending in thefe years the greateft part of the furs, &c. 



The number of people refiding throughout the winter in the ifland 

 was 10,701 in the year 1784. In 1789 they were increafed to 19,106; 

 and in 1791 they were reduced to 16,097. The greateft quantity of 

 land in cultivation during this period was 8,034 acres in the year 1 785, 

 when only 10,244 people wintered on the illand ; and only 4,299 in 

 1789 when the population was at the higheft.

 mittee of the privy council for trade, I have extraded, as a fpecimen,
