 UNITED STATES CONSULATE,

TALCAHUANO. 



REPORT BY CONSUL VAN 1NGEN. 



In reply to the Department of State's circular of May 27, 1889, with 

 regard to the import of cottons into this consular district, I have to 

 state that no statistics are published here, and only general statistics 

 at the capital (Santiago), and these not for separate districts. 



This district includes Concepcion Bay, Talcahuano, Coronel, Valdivia, 

 and, in short, all ports south of this. 



I inclose the only data I have been able to obtain, and which I trust 

 may be found useful.
