By a comparative Statement of the quantity of British and
Foreign Copper. 'exported fro. Great Britain in the years
1891 and Itin, (from the Official Returns laid on the Table
of the House of Commons, in the present Session) it appears
that the deCrease in the quantity of cast copper, the produce
of Great Britain, exported in the year 1912, as compared
with the quantity exported in ISel, was 8,,714 cwt. Oqrs.
Ifilbs ; whilst the increase in the quantity of foreign cast
copper, exported front this country, in the same period, was

produce on the Copper trade.—The total quantity of British
Copper exported in 1822, was 11,760 cwt. tqrs. :nibs. less
than the quantity exported in laH.
