COTTON PLANTER'S MANUAL. 



The reexportations of France are chiefly to Switzerland by 

 railway; after which country, in this trade, come Sardinia 

 and Holland ; smaller quantities being sent, also, to Spain, the 

 Zollverein and other countries. 



Next to the United States, France derives her supplies of 

 cotton from the Levant ; and the third place is held by South 

 America. 



These facts are illustrated by the following statements, made 

 np from the " Tableau General du Commerce de la France," 

 for the years designated : [The quantities are given in kilo- 

 grammes, each kilogramme being equal to about 21 Ibs. Kilo- 

 grammes multiplied by 9 and divided by 4 will give pounds.] 



Tabular comparative statement showing the quantities of cot- 

 ton imported into France, and the countries whence imported, 

 for a period of three years, from 1852 to 1855, both in-
