SUMMARY.

Taels Sterling Imports 128,025,562 £42,675,187 Treasure 97,483,481 38,252,513 Exports 38,252,513 12,760,837 32,494,494 Total 263,761,556 £87,920,518 Imports and Exports Treasure Or, Taels 225,509,043 38,252,513 12,750,837 Total 263,761,555 £97,920,518

Thus the total value of foreign trade with China in the year 1864 is in taels 203,761,550, or in sterling, at the average rate of 6s. 8d. per tael, £87,020,518, including re-exports; those, however, must be deducted to arrive at the "net value.”

Total Value of Foreign Trade Taels 263,761,556 Deduct Re-Exports 46,490,927 Net Value of Foreign Trade Taels 217,270,629 Sterling £87,920,518 16,496,975 £72,423,543

Thus the net value of foreign trade with China in the year 1864 is in taels 217,270,029, and in sterling, at the average rate of 6s. 8d. per tael, £72,423,543.

The tariff duties paid at the foreign custom houses in 1864 amounted to the sum of taels 8,177,144, or in sterling £2,725,714, which, if added to the total value of foreign trade, shows the transactions of the year amounted to the sum of taels 271,938,700, or in sterling, £90,646,233. Probably it was more, for treasure being free, a correct account of its import and export was not kept at all the ports, and, therefore, in round numbers, £95,000,000 sterling may be taken as a fair estimate of the value of foreign trade in the year 1864.

VALUE OF FOREIGN Trade with China in the Year 1865.
