tions of the principal articles were larger for the
same period as respects raw cotton, flat, hemp,
petroleum, provisions, quicksilver, tallow, flour,
currants, pepper, and wine, but smaller in guano,
rice, silk, spices, sheep and lamb's wool, coffee,
sugar, tea, and tobacco. _ _

The shipping accounts exhibit a slight decrease
in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign
trade for the United Kingdom for the entries in-
wards, but there is an increase for the clearances
outwards compared with those of the like period in
1863.

Ia the coasting trade there has been a slight
increase, the amount of tonnage employed for the
same period in both the entries inwards and the
clearances outwards.
