A comparison with the figures for the correspond-
ing month of last year shows the principal increase
to be in cotton manufactures, hardwares, machinery,
iron (chiefly for railway purposes), and linen and
woollen goods. On the other hand, there is a eon-
siderable falling off in the export of wool, and a
moderate decrease in linen yarn.
The annexed shows the quantities of the chief
articles of food taken for consumption during the
month :

As regards several of the principal articles, in-
cluding sugar, tea, and coffee, there is a decrease in
the figures relating to the payment of duties, owing
probably to the unusual activity which prevailed a
couple of months previously. The consumption of
foreign and colonial breadstuffs has also again
diminished.
