EXPORTS OF COTTON MANUFACTURES FROM GREAT BRITAIN, AND AVERAGE PRICE OF Goods, 1815–1860.

I. VALUE OF BRITISH COTTON GOODS.

We have before expressed the opinion, that the value of British manufactured goods exceeds annually four hundred and fifty millions of dollars; while the total cost of the raw material being only one hundred and fifty millions of dollars, (£34,550,000 sterling,) there is a resulting profit to England of three hundred millions of dollars, in round numbers. This is confirmed by a recent statement in Ure's History of the Cotton Manufacture, (London, H. G. Bonn, 1861,) where it is stated :

“The total cotton manufacture for home and foreign use, according to Mr. Poole, (Statistics of British Commerce,) may be reasonably assumed at twice the value of the raw material consumed. And this assumption is borne out by the estimate given upon the authority of Messrs. Du Fay & Co., of Manchester. Hence, as we paid more than £30,000,000 for the raw cotton we consumed in 1859, this would give an aggregate value of £90,000,000 for the cotton manufacture at present, including the price of both raw material and finished products.

“We know, from the official returns, that more than one-third of our entire exports in 1859 consisted of cotton. Besides which, there has to VOL. XLV.-NO. I.

1

be added the proportion of cotton which forms part of £12,000,000 more exported in the shape of mixed woollens, haberdashery, millinery, silks, apparel and slops. The home consumption of cottons, which a few years ago was calculated to average £25,000,000 annually, must have greatly increased, so as to bear a close approximation to the quantity exported, £48,000,000. The amount of actual capital invested in the cotton trade of the kingdom is believed to be now about £60,000,000 sterling."

II. RAPID PROGRESS OF THE COTTON MANUFACTURE IN ENGLAND.

In the year 1846, only fifteen years ago, the total value of British manufactured cottons was only forty-four millions sterling ; whereas, in 1860, the value is officially reported at £92,013,000. The growth of these manufactures since the year 1836 is shown in the following tabular statement;
