Title
Exports from China, 1897-1898
Abstract
This abstract presents a transcription of a historical document, dated June 1878, detailing export statistics from Brazil's Carioca region. The document, formatted as a formal report, records trade data for the first quarter of 1878, focusing on artisanal goods, tea, chicken eggs, and manure. Key figures include specific quantities of exported items such as "batifis" and "etilas" (Chinese porcelain), medicinal products, paper, rebo residue, rebo fabric, and prepared materials. The report highlights the economic significance of these exports, particularly in relation to the rebo industry, which was supplemented by legumes, medicines, starches, and tobacco. Located in the Carioca region, this document provides valuable insights into 19th-century Brazilian trade patterns, emphasizing the interplay between local production and international markets. Researchers will find this transcription essential for understanding the economic dynamics of the period, particularly the role of artisanal and agricultural exports in shaping Brazil's early industrial economy.
