A RETURN of the quantities and value of Merchandize exported from the Port of Canton in 2 Hamburgh, 1 Bremen, and 1 Prussian vessels, of the aggregate burthen of 1179 tons, to the Countries and Places under mentioned, during the year ending December 31, 1846, viz. :-
REMARKS. The preceding Tables have been compiled from the Consular Returns of the British and Foreign Import Trade at Canton for the year 1846. They do not include, however, the goods sold outside the district of custom-house.
The weights and measures stated are those in use at Canton. 1 catty is equal to 1⅓ lb. avoirdupoise; hence 1 picul of 100 catties corresponds with 133 pounds in England. 1 chang is 4 English yards nearly.
The value given has been computed upon a moderate estimate, according to the average prices of the year in the Canton market, including the duty and other charges.
