Report by Consul-General Andrews, of Rio de Janeiro, on the commerce and industries of Brazil for the years 1882 and 1883. FOREIGN COMMERCE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. The following statement will show the kinds and values of exports from Rio de Janeiro during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, as compiled from the statistics published by the custom-house at this port. The total exports amounted to $37,988,913, being $12,000,000 less than in preceding fiscal year. This great difference is explained by the decline which took place in the price of coffee. The export duties amounted to $3,315,982, or about 10 per cent. A year ago the custom-house of this city commenced the issue of a semi-monthly statistical publication, entitled "Boletim da Alfándega do Rio de Janeiro," which will be of great benefit in furnishing fresh statistical information in regard to commerce. From the publication I have been able to compile a table, accompanying this report, which shows the value of exports and imports at this port the first half of the present fiscal year. The value of the exports for such period was $19,798,112. Statement showing the exports from Rio de Janeiro for the year ending June 30, 1882. The value of the imports into Rio de Janeiro during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, was $40,026,804, as shown by the table below, being a million and a half dollars less than in the preceding year. The duties collected on these imports amounted to $13,795,939, being at an average rate of 34 per cent. As compared with the preceding fiscal year there was a little increase in the imports from Germany and Great Britain, and a little falling off in those from France and the United States: Statement showing the imports at Rio de Janeiro for the year ending June 30, 1882.
