TaApE AND CoMMERcE.-Our ex-
port trade with The United States in-
creased to considerable extent last
year; more so than the most sanguino
could hvae anticipated. The increase
in packages was nearly so per cent
over those Of ls42; and the increase
in sterling on Cottons, Linens, Wool
ems, and Worsteds, is estimated at 81,
100000. To our North American
provinces the shipments were large,
and the year closed with unpreccden-
tedly low stocks. The exports to the
West Indies were much more extern
sive than those ofthe preceding year.
THE REVENUE OF ENGLANp.--Thc
quarterly accounts Of the revenue have
appeared. They arc made up 10 the
5,h January, which shows that there
is an increase upon the year as COM
pared with the preceding year, Of more
than &c. O00,0oO; but this is composed
Of GA, 657, 900 from the Income Tax,
and sel ,o55,o00 under the head Of
Miscellaneous, including, no doubt, .
larger remittance from China. The
only other increase upon the year 10
.P3S7 900 in the Excise. There is q
slight decrease in the Customs, q de-
crease OF e64,o0o in Stamps, and OF
fs3, 600 in Taxes. The total produce
Of the Income Tax for the year ending
January s, 1914, was 95,2s9,Oo0.
The comparison ofthe quarter end
ing January 5, 1874, with the CORES
ponding quarter Of the previous year,
presents in one important respect
more favorable result. 1t shows an
increase in the Customs Of 9552,ooo.
II shows a slight increase in the Elk.
else and the Post Office, and decrease
in Stamps and Taxes. There is an in
crease OF 9l97,Oo0 in the Income Tax;
but from the peculiar mode Of collect
ing this tax, the circumstance is Of lit
tie importance. Deducting this item,
therefore, there is . total increase Of
revenue upon tho quarter Of about
COCO, 900, and this is tho most favor
able fact that appears.
