In regard to our trade with Great Britain, the
New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle,
of Saturday says, in review of an article from the
London Times:
ct is quite true that last year we imported
more largely than in 1854 Of British manufactures,
while we sent in return less corn. -four and pro-
visions less of petroleum gold and silver. 10 bal
ance the account. But our exports of cotton in
1885 were $4,000 bales, against 49, 600 bales in
1864; and this item will fully make up the ptneE
deficiencies in exports. the respective yeluss be-
ing S75 600 900 and $1,000 900 in gold. Nog this

present position, or at the probable course OF tfane
for the next six months, we may safely conclude
that there is no foundation whatever for the state
meat made by the London Tines and that the
cause of the rise in the Bank OF England rate Is
to be sought, rather in the excessive How OF the
precious metals TO the East than to any compiica-
tions arising likely 10 arise. oct Of the credits

1T is. perhaps, right IN this connection, 70
mention the report which il current here. that
certain British firms have exported goods heavily
TO Southern ports on their own account. and have
had to borrow money in London in consequence
Of being disappointed in their returns. Ihisciass
Of ventures is of necessity, very limitedln amount
and we can probably find half dozen New 4 ORR
merchants seeking aceommodationso here from
this cause, TO every one IN LONDON. Inc presenfee
