During the same period the movements in the ports of Ludwigshafen, (Rhenish Bavaria,) opposite Mannheim, were as follows, viz:

21, 429

In sailing vessels and by tug-boats........quintals. 1, 509, 327
In passenger boats and freight steamers. ... do.

36, 862

Thus, on comparison with the year 1859, the considerable excedent of 1,505,964 centners does

appear.

The stated goods were transported in 5,518 vessels, viz: in 793 up, and 4,725 down the river.

On the Neckar there were shipped during 1860 5,317,218 centners, viz: 1,937,206 upwards, and 3,380,082 downwards, of which 640,426 on rafts, and the remainder in 10,969 vessels, viz: 7,444 belonging to Baden, 3,028 to Hesse, 495 to Wurtemburg, and two to Nassau.

The export from the Grand Duchy of Baden to the United States during the period from October 1, 1860, to September 30, 1861, amounted, as far as can be ascertained from the invoice book of this consulate, to 216,540.31 florins, or $86,620, viz:

In the quarter of 1st October to 31st December, 1860.....
In the quarter of 1st January to 31st March, 1861..
In the quarter of 1st April to 30th June, 1861..
In the quarter of 1st July to 30th September, 1861.

During the same period of 1859-'60 they amounted to 454,626.19 florins, or $173,850, which shows a decrease of 238,035.48 florins in 1860-'61, evidently arising from the stagnation in the export trade to the United States in consequence of the increased tariff of import duties, and, more recently, from the unfortunate warlike state of affairs in America. For, while from July 1 to September 30, the exports still amounted, to 46,928.40 florins, they amounted during the same period of 1861, to only 9,263.40.

The exports consisted of wine, cherry water, tobacco, snuff, cloth, glass, tartaric acid, crockeryware, paper-hangings, and tinfoil.
