countries and British possessions amounte
to e371 ,287, 800, and the total exports frol
the United Kingdom to e310, 1874, 700. Th
, total imports were greater than for any forme
year, and exceeded the imports for 1872
nearly ZIG, 600, 900. while the value of the e1
ports for the same year fell short of that fo
} the preceding year, which showed the lare
est annual expectation ever made by NOR
than e3. 100000. OF the exports referred to
eighty-two per centum was the produce of tn
United Kingdom, the remainder foreign an
colonial merchandise. The imports into tn
United Kingdom from this country in 1877
amounted to Ell, AL 493, and the exports t.
this country to e36, $685. 424.
In 1859 the exports between the two coun
tries were in favor of the United States b.
nearly el0. 100000. This difference increased
in 1861 so that the exports from the United
States were more than quadruple those from
Great Britain. But its diminution wa
equally rapid in the following year, and il
1865 the balance of trade was in favor O
Great Britain by over CO, 500, 600. In 1855
| this again turned in favor of the United
States, until the exports from the United
States to Great Britain are not far from double
those from that kingdom to the United States
The monthly returns of British commerce
point to q still further increase in the i'm.
ports, but o decrease in the exports of the
United Kingdom during the year 1874.
For the fiscal year ending June 80, 1873,
the aggregate experts of Canada amounted
to $50, 789, 922 an increase over the previous
fiscal year of 81, $50, $50. The value of goods
imported for consumption during the year
referred to was 1927, 514 595, exceeding the
value for 1862 by SIG, sos, 478. The COL
lective trade of Canada with Great Britain
and the United States during the fiscal years
of 1912 and 1928 shows steady mainte-
nance of her commercial relations with the
mother country, and largely increased COM
merce with the United States. With Great
Britain the increase Of 49, IS per cent in 1872
over 1871 was more than maintained, the
increase being 20 5 per cent in 1873, as COM
pared with 1872. With the United States,
however. the percentage of increase in 1872
over 1871, which was only TO- 10 per cent,
rose in 1873 over 1872 to "a 9 per cent.
In 1870 the aggregate value of the imports
and exports of France amounted to 6, 953. 800,
900 francs, which in 1872 was increased to
8, 258, 200, 0O0 frances exceeding the value of
the imports and exports Of any former year,
and being 1,632, 900, 600 francs more than the
average value of the commerce of the five
previous years. The general commerce of
France has nearly doubled within the fifteen
years ending with 1872 The total imports
into France for the first eight months of 1874
are valued at 1852. 1873 francs, against ISIS,
50f francs for the corresponding period of
1873, and the exports at 2,518,558 francs,
against 2, 1926, 682 francs in 1872. The imports

for 1872, to 10,7O0, 900 francs, and the ex.
ports to this country to 423, 500, 900 francs
Inc imports into Austro-Hungary amount
ed in 1873 to $40, 623, 1868 forms, a decrease of
II 500, 100 forms from 1872. The exports for
1873 amounted to 424, 1913 OILS forms, or 3d.
ZIG, 226 forms in excess of the exports of the

The imports and exports of Belgium for
1873 amounted to 4,58S,7OO francs, it's COM
nerce having considerably more than doubled
Turing the decade ending with the above
mentioned year. The imports from the |
United States for 1873 were valued at 1876, 900 |
rancs-an increase of sixty eight per cent |
'ver 1872. The exports to the United States |
to 16, 800, 600 francs, or thirteen per

The value Of the imports into Denmark |
Turing the fiscal year 1873 was lis, 1854, 448
TX dollars, and the exports IS, 525,51 rix

ppears to be inconsiderable.
The total imports from the United States |
ITO Sweden and Nor way amounted in 1873 to
-, Soo. IT'S, and the total exports from that
ountry to the United States to So, 154,3 1877,
The entire exports from the port of Alexan-
ria. Egypt. for the year ending August 81,
873 amounted to more than s66, 700, 600
l7O,OO more than the value of the exports
u 1872. The imports for the same period
re stated as more than $50, 100000, an
mount exceeding the importation of any
revious year by more than 49, 900, 900. The
IMPORTS from the United States, consisting
most wholly of petroleum, amounted
uring the period above stated to nearly
37O,O 900, and slightly exceeded those for
372.
During 1873 the value of the exports from
lOlocco amounted to 81, 767, $50, an increase
J compared with 1872 of s1,2l3,1S5. The
sport from Tangier further indicates q re.
arkable development in the export trade of
[orocco during the years 1872 and 1873,
mounting III the latter year to double the
7erage value of the eight years preceding
ST. The import trade experienced a slight .

affairs which followed the death of the

SIG, 62o. 422. Of these amounts, So, 991,- {
U for the imports and $7l0, $50 for the ex- /

d States. 1t appears from the preceding
ia, that while the value of the total export
lde of the Central American States for 1875 c
ceeded that of the total import trade by 65
r cent, the exports to the United States for
