[Footnote 190: This Table is taken from the _Relatoria da Companhia de Navegacao e Commercio do Amazonas_, and includes only the commerce by the Brazilian steamers and the staple products.

The number of pa.s.sengers transported by the steamers in 1867 was 13,886; receipts from pa.s.sage, $75,744; from freight, $210,654. In the reduction, the milrey has been taken at 50 cts.
