" EFFECTS OF THE REDUCTION OF IMPORT DUTIES
IN FRANeE,-We call the particular attention Of
our farmers and manufacturers to the following
extract from the Paris correspondence the Lon.
don Times, under date of 9Th inst:
The official returns of the foreign trade of France
during the first four months of the present year
are much more favorable than might be expected
during period of general political excitement
The imports increased in value from 770665 0OOf
during the first four months of the year 1865, tC
977 42,O0Of for the corresponding period of the
present year.
The exports increased ina still greater proper
ton. They amounted for the first four months O
1865 to SOB ,628 000f., and for the corresponding
period OF the present year to 1924 S55 000f. Tht
imports for the first four months of the year 1866
amounted to only 7540 0,000f There is an in
crease this year of twenty-nine per cent. The ex
ports during the corresponding period of the yea
1861 amounted to only 652 sos ,O00f. This increase
is nnety-three per cent. The complaints con
stanty heard from the agricultural classes give al
additional interest to the customs returns RELATING
to the import and export of corn and -four for thu
first four months of the last six years. In 1861 thu
corn and -four imported amounted to 20 O95 OOOf
in 1862 to Il 405 ,000f; in 1863 to IA 1924 OOOf il
