1t will be seen that THE TRIBUNE is COM
PEELED to make the heaviest payments. We
may add that we have the official postage re-
turns for the other New-YOrk papers, as well
as for those embraced in the above table,
and that THE TRIBUNE is charged more than
anv of them. 1t pays, in fact, according to
the books of the Post Office Department, the
heaviest postage bill of any newspaper in the
United States, and thus has, demOnstrably, the
largest circulation through the mails.
We do not present these figures on any the
DRY that the largest circulation is always the
most valuable to advertisers. The EUening
AfiCs may perhaps circulate ten copies to me
EUeniRG Posts one. Yet the bookseller or Jew
eller who should thereupOn conclude that he
ought to advertise in The NeCs instead of The
Post would be set down lunatlc. Quality or
circulation is an element even more important
than its quantity, and the standing OF the pa
per is as important as either. There are jour
mails whose readers accept as a matter OF course
what is found credited in their columns. There
are others whose readers as habitually think
of any sprghtly matter found IN them, Well
that's lively; | wonder if it's true" These
last soon come to regard the advertisements IN
their paper with the same doubt as the reading
matter. No advertiser can judiciOusly select his
medium, therefore, without considering the
quality and the quantity of the circulation
and the general credence TO which the paper
entities itself by its care to avoid sensational
ism and to print the facts as they are.
But on the first and last of these points the
advertiser can generally form an opinion for
himself. As to circulation, there are no Access
sible data for comparison that can be abso-
lutey accepted, save these OFFICIAL statements
OF what passes through the mails We should
be heartily glad to see some system of reports
on other circulation which should have the
same guarantees of absolute accuracy; and
we should cordially unite with our cOntem-
pOraries in an appeal to the Legislature for
law requiring, in the interest OF advertisers,
sworn reports, to be verified by official in
spection Of press-roOms books and bills for
paper.

IN THE INTEREST or ADVERrISERS.


We have received from the Post Office De-
partment the following official statement OF
moneys paid for postage on regular edi-
lions of New-York morning newspapers for
the quarter Just ended. These figures
do THE TRIBUNE far less than JUS
tice, however, unless the reader remembers,
Cd that they show its postage on only
six daily issues per week against the postage
on seven daily issues of its contemporaries;
(2) that the payments on The Herald are
nearly double as much for the same number
of copies as on The tribune, because OF the
excessive weight of The HeraIFs constant
supplements, triple, quadruple. and even
quinuple sheets; and (3) that the
payments on The Times are also much
greater than on the same number of copies OF
The TRIBUNE, because of the heavy wood
paper its Walter presses compel it to use. In
spite of these facts, the comparison for post
ages actually paid on regular editions stands as
follows:

IBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUNEi
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The Secretary OF the
Treasury for the purpose of ascertaning the nature
and extent of foreign trade, is having prepared
a statement of our exports and imports for several
years past. From this it appears that for many
years preceding the year 1874 the excess of imports
over exports was very large. During the year 1874
there of exports over imports OF about
$4,000, 900. In 1875. however, the imports ex-
ceeded the exports by 19,5O0,O00. Since 1879 the
exports of the country have very rapidly increased,
and the imports have gradually fallen of. Some OF
the articles formerly imported in large quantities
cut very inconsderable figure in the imports OF
last year, while our exports have increased since
1875 about 80 per cent. In 1876 our exports eA-
oeeded our imports by about S79,OOO.OOO. In 1871
there was an excess of 1851 ,OO0,O0O, and ~ ISfS
an excess of $25S, 000, 600. Only S25O,0OO'OOO OF
our bonds are now held abroad, and the balance OF

A DULL DAY FOR NEWS.

INCREASE IN OUR FOREIGN TRADE-A WAR WITH
MEXICO NOT PROBABLE.
A statement prepared at the Treasury De-
partment, shows that our exports have in
creased 80 per cent since 1875. The
excess over imports for the past year
was $25S, OOO,0 900. The rumOr of probable
conflict with Mexican troops on the border
was without foundation. Large numbers OF
colored people are leaving for the West.
