I append a statement which shows the imports and exports of 

 Mexico during the two fiscal years 1894-1895 and 1895-1896, both by 

 countries and by custom-houses, and the imports and duties by coun- 

 tries in the fiscal years 1888-1889 and 1889-1890. 



Exports. It would be difficult to make a correct statement of our' 

 exports previous to the fiscal year 1867-1868. Their amount was very 

 small for reasons already given, and as they principally consisted in 

 silver, and almost all the silver coined was exported the coinage of 

 which we have exact records, can be taken as the amount of exports, 

 with the addition of from 30 to 40 per cent., representing the silver 

 both in coin and bullion smuggled. I give a correct statement of our 

 exports of agricultural commodities from the fiscal year 1877-1878 to 

 1895-1896, and also a statement of our exports of other commodities 

 from the fiscal year 1886-1887 to r 895-1 896, which shows the rapid 

 pace at which they are increasing.
