CoNMERos or THE UNITED STATES


The New York Journal Of Commerce publishes
tables Of the foreign commerce of the United
States for the fiscal year ending June 80 1856, the
data being obtained from the Treasury Depart
meat In 8 comparative view with tn exports of
1856 it appears that there has been slight falling
off in the exports of the sea, owing to the great
decrease in the shipments of sperm oil, although
most of the other items under this heading show
an increase. There is falling eff also in the ex-
ports of the produce oftbe forest, extending near
" through the entire list, AID showing decrease
from last year of about 81, 600 OOO In the pro-
ducts of agriculture the shipments Of animals and
animal food show but little increase; but in vege-
table food the gain from lasg year is enormous, the
increase IN these items amounting to nearly twenty
six millions of dollars, or over 100 per cent? The
total exports Of the products of agriculture for the
last year, including very large gain in cotton was
S218 29O,649, against $l45, 423, 789 for the pre-
cedipg year. The remaining items present many
interesting comparisons, but no important change
from last year. The greatest difference is in the
article of cotton the value of the exports of 1856
bsing $751; IA, 844, and for 1856 being $l28 95l,
382.
