80—.,5410 OF TRADE RETURNS.

The Board of Trade returns for the month of
June were issued yesterday. We subjoin a state-
ment of the total declared value of the exports of
British and Irish produce and manufactures during
the month. and six months of the last three
years :

For the month. For six months.
1858 £10,241,433 .... £53,467,804
1859 10,665,891 .... 63,003,159
1860 9,236,454 .... 62,019,989
___

The aggregate shipments in June were
less by £1,429,437, or 13 per cent., than in June
1859, and less by £1,004,979, than in June, 1868.
The exports for the six months of the present year
were less by £983,170 than in 1859, and larger
by £8,552,185, or about 16 per cent., than in 1858.
The decrease, however, appears to be partly a
matter of account, as indicated in the following
official note, which is attached to the returns:—
" Note.—The comparative decrease in the regis-
tered exports of British merchandise for the month.
of June, 1860, is in part attributable to the opera-
tion of a clause in a recent act of Parliament (23
Vict., c. 22, s. 22), which allows to exporters a
delay of six days after the sailing of the vessel for
the correction of their entries."

Examining the chief items of these exports, we
arrive at the subjoined general figures for the
month, viz. :

Compared with last year, the principal deorease •
is in cotton goods and yarn, linens, haberdashery,
and millinery, woollen and worsted goods, and rail-
way iron. There is, however, a remarkable in-
crease in woollen and worsted yarns.
The annexed shows the quantities- of the chief
articles of food taken for consumption during the
month of June :

The falling off in the quantity duty, paid of
sugar, wheat, and flour, and the increase in wine*
are the principal changes. Cocoa and coffee pre-
sent larger figures, whilst the quantity of tea taken
for consumption in the month was less. Occasional
monthly variations are of course to be looked for.
