It will be noticed that the exports of cotton goods
have been largely in excess of all former experience.
The demand is still principally for the " British
East Indies," whither, during the month of August,
no less than £1,116,769 in value was shipped,
against £729,169 in August, 1858, and £220,239
in August, 1857. For the eight months the ex-
ports to that quarter have reached £8,302,853,
against £5,976,356 in the eight months of 1858,
and 3,910,648 in 1857. The increase in the ex-
ports of iron, copper, and tin plates, forms a pro-
minent feature. Compared with the correspond-
ing month of last year, there is also a decided in-
crease in haberdashery, hardwares, and woollen
goods. In linen yarn, leather goods, and raw
wool on the other hand, there is a f filling off.
The annexed shows the quantities of the chief
ankles of fool taken- for consumption during the
