REMARKS.—The preceding Returns have been compiled from the entries in the Books kept at the office, and the Quantities specified are those that have paid duty.- The Weights and Mensures stated are those in use at Shanghai. 1 catty is equal to 14 pound Avoirdupois, and 100 cattics correspond with 1334 pounds in England. A chang is 4 English yards nearly.-The value given has in most instances been computed upon the average prices of the year in the Shanghái Market; and where this has been found impracticable, an approximate has been substituted. The reduction of Spanish dollars into sterling has been made at the average exchange of the year, of 4s. 5d. per dollar. No. IX-A SYNOPTICAL TABLE of the Export trade to Foreign countries, from the port of Shánghái, during the Year ending the 31st December, 1849, specifying the Description and Quantities of conìmodities, as well as their estimated value, and distinguishing the national character of the ships in which they were exported.
