Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Statistics of the Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the United States: Embracing a Historical Review and Analysis of Foreign Commerce From the Beginning of the Government; The Present Internal Commerce Between the Mississippi and Atlantic States; The Overland Trade and Communications With the Pacific States; The Productions The trade and navigation of the United States with Great Britain, compiled from the official reports of both countries, are given in general, and in sufficient detail to exhibit the extent and fluctuations of this branch of our commerce, the leading articles exchanged in direct and indirect trade, and the direct exchange of commodities, other than the precious metals, between Great Britain and California. The trade of the United States with Canada and the other British North American provinces is also specially presented, on the authority of both our own and Canadian official reports, showing the extent and character of the exchanges, the kind and value of the transit trade of the eastern and western States through Canada and the St. Lawrence to the ocean. A general exhibit is made of the steam tonnage engaged in our foreign commerce, and of the Panama Isthmus trade, vessels and cargoes, with a comparative view of the steam shipping and tonnage of Great Britian, and a statement of the steam vessels engaged in American trade entered and cleared in British ports. The second division of the report, occupied with domestic commerce between the Atlantic and Mississippi States, embraces the quantities and values transported east and west by the great railways of the United States, by the lakes, and by the Welland, Erie, and Champlain canals, and the kind and extent of the shipping of the lakes. The tonnage was obtained from the reports of State commissioners of statistics, boards of trade of the principal cities, transportation companies, and other authoritative sources, and the values estimated by accepted commercial rules. The interruption of trade between the loyal and disloyal States of the Union, the suspension of the Mississippi river trade, and the non-intercourse of the northern with southern States since the commencement of the rebellion, have rendered the statistics of this large branch of domestic commerce unattainable. The existing records of previous years are known to be both incomplete and unreliable, and no exhibit of it has therefore been attempted in this report. It will be observed that the data used in exhibiting the east and west trade of the States and Territories relate-mainly to the calendar year 1862, which is chosen because in that year its limits were well defined and its character well settled and ascertained.
