Total - 18,467,718 lbs. 

 Of this quantity, about 15,307,71 8 lbs. were imported in Spanish or neutral ves- 

 sels, and the remaining 3,1 60,000 lbs. in English vessels. 



Of the quantity imported in Spanish or neutral vessels, about i5,i4i,90olbs. 

 were sheep's wool, and 165,778 lbs. lambs wool. Of the sheep's wool the propor- 

 tions were, of the R, or first sort, about 12.000,000 lbs. ; of the F, or second sort, 

 about 2,000,000 lbs. ; of the T, or third sort, about 1,127,000 lbs. ; and of the 

 K, or coarsest sort, about 14,920 lbs. 



The average prices given for these wools by the clothiers in England were 

 nearly as follows : 



R, sheep's wool, - 1 2,000,000, at 65. per lb. - ;{^, 3,600,000 

 F, ditto, - 2,000,000, at 5J. - - 500,000 



T, ditto, - 1,127,020, at 45. 6rf. - 253,579 



K, ditto, _ - 14,920, at 35. - - 2,23s

These ;C4539i,044. were the sum paid by our clothiers for this wool. What the 

 merchants' profit might be, I do not presume to determine; but if we allow 15 per 

 cent, inclusive of interest, or ^^658, 656. the remainder, or ;^2,733,2 88. will be the 

 sum actually paid out of the kingdom for this part of the imported wool. 



Besides these quantities, there were imported in British vessels about 3,i6o,ooolbs. 

 of Spanish wool ; of which the respective proportions were, probably, nearly as 

 follows:
