York.


The fiscal year closed Win me uun,n
of June, OF on Saturday week, The ia
blcs showing the imports OF foreign
goods at thc pOIt of New York for the
last month. the last six months, and the
wear list ended, have been published.
The iigwrcs given represent only the
foreign cost in gold, freight and duty
not added, and with no allowance for
profit or loss on the cost price. The
total value thus entered ut port in June
WAS little over four millions of dollars,
against nearly seven millions for the
same month of last year. The total
thrown upon the market shows great
! er difference still, the value for the
| last month bciug under three and
th:cr-quartcr millions against about
seven millions III june, lrOG.
! The total for the month was less
| also than for the corresponding month
/ in lSlij. The depressed condition of
| trade during the month is shown by the
wide difference between the goods land
/ tU l.ltl tLt lbldl luloh ~ VIC
ket. This does not hold true of he
whole season, the effort being to sell
! goods as long as there was any market
I for them, no matter ut what concession.
/ Thus for the six months of the current
wear, beginning with January, the total
| landed was So. -Og, PSI. while the total
distributed was so. 1919, thus reduc-
| iug the stock of this class of imports in
/ bonded warehouse nearly fOnr millions
| of dollars. The comparative table for
/ the wear possesses the most interest,
| and hy il WE learn that there was ell
! tered for consumption of the various
manufactures OF wool, cotton, silk, flax,
and miscellaneous dry goods, ST., i3l ,253,
over one hundred millions and half i'll
| lSti5-'6. and twcnty-siX and three-Quar-
/ ter millions in lsji-5.
| The amount drawn for consumption
| for the fiscal year Just closet, amounts
! to S:ig, 92S ,9l7, tn which, if added the
ST.. i3l,25 entered for consumption,
q. we have SlU2 ,360.l1O us the amount
thrown on the market during the fiscal
year, against Sl39, 704, go thrown on the
market i'll the fiscal year OF 1866. The
amount entered for warehousing was
about million greater than the amount
stated above as withdrawn, to which,
If added the amount entered for con-
sumption, gives. rs the total entries of
the polt. slU3, iU7 rs, so that the stock
in bond is increased during the year
slightly more than million of dollars.
In lS63-6 the total entries of the port
were Sl37, o55, S3i, against Sl29, 7O4 &c as
the total thrown on the market, show
ing an increase of the amount
in bond during that year of S7,35l ,l5S'
Only two former years show total in
excess of the figures given for the last
twelve months, namely, lS65-C6. This
