From the above tables it appears that in
the year following the panic in the Fall OF
1867 there was a falling off of nearly thirty
per cent in the value of the imports of dry
goods and the manufactures of iron and steel
In the ten months dating from July 1, 1873
the falling off has been only t,centy,four per
cent in the same articles If the figures for
the entire twelve months were to be had, the
percentage of decrease would be found to be
still smaller.
Turning now to the imports of another class
Of articles we find strange contrast to the
above. The following table gives the values
of tea, coffee, sugar, and molasses for the

DIR FOREIGN TRADE.

The best barometer of the state of trade in
the United States is that afforded by the i'm
ports of foreign goods. Measured by this test
the prOstratiOn of business, though severe, Is
less SO than it was in the periods following
1867 and 1897 For the periods of ten months
ended April 3d. in the years 1872, ., and a, the
values of the foreign commodities imported
into the United States have been as follows:
1872 s521 $4,000; 1873, s556,557,4o9 1874, $780,
3O4,376. The decrease from 1878 is only eleren
per cent In the year ended juno 30, 1856, the
imports were $3t4,e39,942; in 1857, SS6os9O,1 H.
and in 1858, $685., 613,15O. The decrease of 1853
from 1857 was nearly tlrenty-hco per cent.

this prosecution is only a sham. 1t Will Dc
pity If that prove true; for while witnesses
dole out their testimony with such niggard
hand, telling just as much or as little as
they like, and the accusers insist upon
hearing the defense before they develop the
case for the prosecution, a court of law seems
to be the only power which can find out
whether anybody knows anything. We have
had enough of scandal, conjecture, inference
and hearsay with threats OF disclosures IN
reserve. Now we should like to have little
sitting of evidence.

The Democratic State Central Committee
met at Saratoga yesterday, and decided to
call a Convention for the nomination of State
officers, to assemble at Syracuse on Wednes-
day, Sept. 16, or one week before the Repub-
lican Nominating Convention is to meet in
Utica Our Saratoga letter presents an inter-
esting review of the opinions and gossip OF
the influential Democrats drawn to that place
by the session of the Committee. While
Judge Church and other distinguished gentle
men have many warm friends, the favorite
candidate at present is Mr. Samuel j. Tilden ;
and there is general disposition to offer the
second place on the ticket, that of Lieuten-
ant Governor, to Liberal Republican. The
Committee seem determined upon an agrees
sive campaign, and have aimed to make their
call broad enough to attract to the Demo-
cratic standard all in opposition to the pres
ent State and National Administrations.
They have before them work which will
require all the foresight skill. wisdom, and
activity at their command.

1t is to be feared the exports of breadstuffs
will from this time show a large decline in
quantity and value by reason Of the more
abundant yield of the crops in Europe. Cotton,
though showing an increase OF 20 per cent in
tho quantity exported. gives decrease Of
nearly four millions in the value. For four
years our exports of provisions have been
enormous. but this important trade is
now declining, Influenced no doubt by the
diminished ability of the British labOring
classes to purchase. Our bacon, hams, cheese,
lard. and pork are, in certain sense, luxuries

Some singular displays have been made in the
Tilton business of ignorance of human nature, but
not the least amusing of them is the statement Of
The Chicago Tribune that the loveletters of Theo-
dore and Elizabeth Titon have amply refuted the
charge that the husband matreated the wife," As
general thing love-letters prove little of anything
except that the writers have affection for one
another, or think they have. The unhappiest of
married people will write as fondly as though their
bliss had never known a break That these two
singular people loved one another all through this
strange history, is plain enough; that there is still
something like love one side at least is shown by
Mrs. Tiltons strict retirement for fear that her hus
band may find her and resume his influence over
her that there is at least the pretense of affection
on the other side, is shown by the fact that this
phenomenal creature. only few days after charg-
ing his wife with adultery in every newspaper in
America, actually wrote her a short, affectionate
letter. beside making friendly evening call

Whatever may be the explanation of the
above figures. certain it is that the compar-
ison with 1868 is favorable. 1t seems to in
dictate sounder state of credit in the gro
Gerry trade than that which existed twenty
years ago.
The export trade of the United States is
largely made up of articles the demand for
which varies greatly in intensity with the
yicissitudes of the seasons. Cotton, prOvi-
sions, and breadstuffs are high or low in price
according as the crops are below or above an
average. The values of the exports of dOmes-
tic production for the first ten months of the
last three fiscal years compare as follows:
1912, S4O9, 473,997 1928, S4S5457,353 1894,
s5ls,95l 1886. The foregoing are the values re-
duced to the gold standard. The increase of
1874 over 1878 and 1872 is due to the great
quantity of Indian corn, wheat, and wheat
flour required to make good the deficiencies
of the European crops. The figures values in
currency for the first ten months of the last
three wears are as follows:
