FOREIGN COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Report Of the Bureau of Statistics for the
Past Fiscal Year.

Director Deimar, OF the Bureau OF Statistics, has
just issued the twentieth number OF his regular
monthly reports 1t contains review of the foreign
commerce of the United States for the year ended
June 80, 1868, from which we compile the following
brief synopsls:-

and bullion incuded:-

lt will be observed from the above table that our
import trade which amounted in 1850 10 $685.
fell rom that amount, and with one exception fell
each successive year 10 S22 444 S79 in 1865 BY the
termination OF the fiscal year the war closed and
during the following year the imports rose TO
$43l ,6i5,714, the highest amount which they ever
attained In this country. Since 1866 however, they
have gradually fallen, and the incoming monthly
returns prove, are falling still. If this lowering
movement continues, and there is yet no indica-
ton to the contrary, the net imports during the
fiscal year 1869 will not amount to 1925 600
and the receipts from customs to not over $780,
O0O, 600.

As since the abrogaOn of the cotton tax the taxes
upon certain manufactures and productions, and
other sources OF internal revenue the receipts from
customs remain the principal source of revenue to
the government this threatened decrease possesses
more than ordinary interest.

inclusive, specie and bullion included, is shown in
