Trade with Brazil Becomes Key for New York Exports
The 1890 New York Custom House report shows exports to Brazil totaling 6.87 million dollars, led by kerosene, lard, flour, cotton cloths, nails, wire, butter, and lumber. Reduction of duties by 25 percent under a new treaty aims to boost trade and shift the US trade balance. Charles F. Flint of Flint & Co. calls the Brazil-US reciprocity an event of great importance, noting America exports 70 million in Brazilian products against 9 million in American goods.
