DECREASE IN OUR EXPORTS OF TEXTILE

FABRICS.

The following extract from the circular of Du Fay and
Co., of Manchester, of Sept. 30th, exhibits a serious fall-
ing off in our exports of Cotton and other Textile fabrics
during the nine months of the present year, as compared
with the same period of 1847:
‘, We have now the pleasure of laying before our friends a
comparative statement of the exports of Cotton and other tex-
tile fabrics during the nine months of 1847 and 1848; giving,
at the same time, the total quantities exported in the two rela-
tive years ending 16th of September. Our statement shows a

InCrease in our exports of cotton yarns, in the nine
months from the 16th Dec. to the 16th Sept. of.. lb 898,253
But a decrease in plain calicoes, of yards 26,052,753
And a decrease in printed and dyed calicoes, of yds 17,449,999
on the total amount of the exports.
"The only countries to which an increase of any importance
has taken place in our exports, during the above stated period,
are the following :
Increase in plain calicoes yards 4,233,177
Mexico Increase in printed and dyed calicoes yds 6,320,590
{
Increase in cottonyarns lb 517,936
Levant, Turkey, lncrease in cotton yarns lb 4,688,815
and lonian Is- Increase in plain calicoes.. yards 12,149,269
lands. Increase in printed calicoes yds 6,129,448
Portugal,Madei- f Increase in plain calicoes yards 17;137438*
ra, &c. 1. Increase in prtd, & dyed do. yds 6,430,076*
Gibraltar&Spain.. Increase in plain calicoes yards 9,720,924
* Probably owing to a fallin off last year."
It must strike every observer as singular that the
countries, to which increase is observable, are those to-.
wards which we have made, by our Free Trade policy,
the most slight concessions. The United States, from
which we have imported so largely of bread-stuffs, does
not appear amongst the countries who have favoured us.

COMPARATIVE PROFITS OF SPINNERS AND
MANUFACTURERS.

In their cricular of the 30th instant, Messrs. Du Fay
ani Co., of Manchester, remark.:—" In order to show
the margin between cotton and the most important arti-
cles manufactured therefrom, we have drawn up the fol-
lowing comparison, which shows that the spinners are in
a worse position now, as regards profit, than in an any of
the four previous years with which the comparison has
been instituted. The manufacturers, who are not spinners,
but purchase the yarn in the market, are on the contrary
in a better position than they were in previous years,• as
they avoid the loss they would at present incur in spinning.
