OBSERVATIONS.

"1. The consulado of Vera Cruz publishes "these states of its commerce annually, for the "information of merchants respecting the

consumption of New Spain, and to guide "them in their speculations; and they regret "that it is not in their power to give a more "detailed account of the value of the woollen "and cotton cloth, linen, and silks contained in
