CHAPTER VII. AMOUNT of trade with the different quarters of the world-Balance of trade -Estimate of the quantity of certain imported articles consumed in the United States, at different periods. HAVING presented an estimate of the amount of the trade of the United States with the different nations, with which they have any considerable commercial intercourse, we now give a general view of exports to each quarter of the world, from 1801 to 1812, and for 1815 and 1816, accompanied with some remarks relative to the balance of trade, between the United States and the rest of the world, with an estimate of the quantity of certain imported articles, annually consumed at different periods. The following statement exhibits the value of merchandize, domestic and foreign, exported from the United States, to each quarter of the world, from 1801, to 1812, and for 1815 and 1816. 1802 747,544 411,855 14,982,854 10,967,585 1803 636,106 148,004 15,338,151 4,734,634 1804 1,264,737 1807 1,296,375 681,499 16,561,516 7,251,150 1805 1,359,518 1,726,987 1806 1,371,475 16,774,025 12,954,483 901,916 14,983,611 17,144,759 1,627,177 15,892,501 17,535,303 218,950 3,939,633 5,308,690 It will be seen from this statement, taken from the custom-house books, that, in 1805, 1806, and 1807, when our exports amounted annually to more than one hundred millions of dollars, we exported to Europe, domestic produce of the value of more than twenty-six millions of dollars, and of foreign produce, more than thirty-eight millions of dollars; to Asia, domestic produce of the value of about five hundred and forty thousand dollars, and foreign produce about one million and nine hundred thousand dollars; to Africa, domestic produce of the value of about one million three hundred thousand dollars, and foreign produce, about one million four hundred thousand dollars; and to the West-Indies and American continent, domestic produce about fifteen millions eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars, and foreign produce, about fifteen millions eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars. The average amount of exports of domestic produce during the years 1805, 1806, and 1807, was $44,863,198, and of foreign produce, $57,701,937.
