REMARKS.—The preceding Returns have been compiled from the entries in the books kept at this Consulate, and the quantities specified are those that have paid duty. The weights are those in use at Canton. 1 catty is equal to 14 pound Avoirdupois, and 1 Pecul or 100 Catties corresponds with 1334 pounds in England-The Value given has in most instances been computed upon the average prices of the year in the Canton Markets; aud where this has been found impracticable, an approximate estimate has been subtituted.—The reduction of the Spanish dollars into Sterling has been made at the average exchange of the year.
