SERIOUS FALLING OFF IN
BRITISH PRODUCE AND

THE EXPORTS OF
MANUFACTURES.

The Board of Irade returns exhibit a total falling off
of the declared value of exports of British produce and
manufactures for the five months, ended sth June, 1848,
as compared with the same period in 1846, of £2,673,418
sterling, and of £2,868,946 as compared with 1847 ; the
gross amount being to the sth June, 1846, £20,619,844 ;
1847, £20,815,372; and 1848, only £17,946,426. This,
however, is by no means the worst feature of the case.
The loss from depreciation of price in the foreign markets,
failures of consignees, &c., will probably amount to double
the difference in the declared values. The falling off in
the month ended sth June, 1848, was from £4,745,986
in 1846, and £4,657,403 in 1847, to £3,535,394 in the
current year.

The items which have most materially decreased are cot-
ton manufactures, from £7,525,023 in 1846, to £6,895,063
in 1848 ; cotton yarn from £2,901,204 in 1846, to
£1,836,467 in 1848. The falling off in this particular
item might be attributed almost wholly to t' -"-turh-

in our commerce with Germ

.ne disturbance
, were it not that there

was a falling off of upwards of £BOO,OOO in our exports of
yarn in the five months of 1847. Our exports of silk
manufactures declined from £349,433 in 1846, and £404,502
in 1847, to £217,475 in 1848. Woollen manufactures
declined from £2,445,443 in 1846, and £2,767,719 in 1847,
to £2,021,836 in 1841 ; woollen yarn from £277,000 in
1846, and £342,849 in 1847, to £250,816 in 1848; hard-
from £898,232 in 1846, and £921,595 in

and ca

1847, to £773,647 in 1848 ; copper and brass from £597,638
in 1846, and £752,962 in 1847, to £443,562 in 1848; tin

Ware from £345,318 in 1846, to £312,845 in 1848 ; linen
yarn from £351,730 in 1846, to £193,775 in 1848_; and

Machinery from £450,764 in 1846, to £305

16 in 184

There is an increase under the heads of coals and culm,
herrings, linen manufactures, iron and steel, unwrought
tin, salt, soap, and refined sugar. The return, as a whole,
