FILES IN SPANISH AMERICA. 



Most of the other different styles and u extras" are unknown and un- 

 called for, with the exception of the 4-inch, and more rarely the 6-inch 

 triangular. Rasps are seldom called for, except from the mountainous 

 regions of the interior, where horses are shod; but local sales do not 

 amount to a dozen a year. 



Probably 10 dozen a year of all kinds would be a liberal estimate of 

 sales by the three or four traders in this district. 



I submit the inclosed memorandum, marked A, as compiled from the 

 books of M. Berne, under his direction.
