*This estimate of shipments direct to manufacturers from Tennessee, &c., includes not only the amount so shipped to points on the Ohio, but throughout the whole North. This is the amount received from Tennessee, &c., at New Yo:k, Baltimore, Boston and Philadelphia, as follows:-Received at New York, 119,601 bales; at Baltimore, 2,721 bales; at Boston, 33,462 bales; at Philadelphia, 58,556 bales-as may be more fully seen in our previons tables. From the foregoing it will be seen that the total crop of the United Total exports from the United States for 1866-7. 2,019,271 1,558,787 The crop of Sea Island the past year has been as follows: Florida, 12,632 bales; Georgia, 7,646 bales; South Carolina, 12,060 bales-total, 32,328 bales, the particulars of which are set out below : Stock end of year.

Total Crop of Sea Islands..

If we average these bales at 450 lbs., and the price received at 12d. per lb., the value in gold of our cotton exports for the year was 170 millions of dollars. These figures very forcibly exhibit the impolicy of cotton regulations and taxes which fetter production. For the convenience of our readers we bring forward the exports of previous years, Siving in the table below the foreign movement for five years : From New Orleans Total Exports of Cotton to Foreign Ports for Five Years. * Authorities differ as to the amount raised during the war period. Some estimate it as low as 3,300,000 bales for the four years, and others as high as 7,600,000 bales. In the above table of exports we have omitted, for obvious reasons, the figures for the period during the war. The home consumption of cotton the past year has been as follows: 649,831 70,000 ......................... ... Total consumed in the United States during the year ending Sept. 1, 1867. Consumption in the Northern states for the year.......... This as will be seen is equal to a consumption in the Northern states of about 11,000 bales per week. The total consumption in the United States each year since 1847, has been as follows: In connection with the figures we have given above, the following indicating the imports of cotton at Liverpool for the year ending August 31, 1866, and 1867, and the stocks at that port and on the Continent August 31 of each year, will be of interest: Imports of Cotton at Liverpool for years ending August 31, 1867 and 1866, and Stock at dates., To complete our record, we give below a table showing the price of middling uplands at New Yerk and Liverpool once a week during the last two years: Prices of Cotton at New York and Liverpool two years. This road extends from Cleveland to Toledo, 112 miles, forming a link in the great lake-shore line of railroads from Buffalo westward. A lateral line also extends from Cleveland to Sandusky, 60 miles. Until last year a section of the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad, from Cleveland to Grafton, 25 miles was used by this company, but the new line between Oberlin and Elyria having been opened on the 10th September last, the use of that road was discontinued. The fiscal year of the company closes on the 30th April. The stock of engines and cars on the road at the commencement of 1862-63, and at the close of each succeeding year was as follows: The operations on the road yearly are shown in the statements which fol Earnings per mile ......... $2 24 Miles transportation........ .35,510,471 $2.89 $2 63 $2.35 The earnings and expense accounts yearly for the last five years are thus re ported: 432,417 410,401 474,223 650,951 34,791,292 44,828,972 61,206,114 $2 41 1862-3.
