BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS.
The falling off in exports during June, which
apparently amounts to 13 per cent. as competed

Hof their entries. Possibly, therefore, they would,
in the regular form, have exhibited little variations.
The monthly returns show apparently a great
'decline as regards cotton manufactures, owing
'chiefly to the unfavourable state of the Indian
market. There is, however, ,a remarkable increase
in woollen and worsted yarns.,
