New York Bulletin.l

From the monthly report Of the Bureauo OF
Statistics it appears that the imports of Deem
o Der showed q moderate decline, compared with
the same month Of 1876. the value OF goods re-
ceived being $50 100000. against $32 800 600 the
preceding year. The exports exhibit about an
equal reduction, the gold value of goods ex
ported being $40, 600 compared with $13o 900
In December, 1876
@ Taking the figures for the whole calendar
year. we find an i'm portant increase both i1Oim-
ports and exports. The years imports. exclu-

s427 $780, 900 In 1s76-shewing an increase of s52,-
G, 900 900. The exports of goods and merchan-
disc valued In gold, are stated at 1901, 500 900,
AGAINST s5T5,7 900 in an increase OF S31 $780,
900, which falls sal, 100000 short Of the increase
In the imports. However we may interpret the

rate as in 1875 this increase Of about 70 per cent

that the trade Of the country. token as a whole.
has undergone certain measure OF actual i'm
provement during the past year which, under
the numerous surrounding dscouragements,
should afford some satisfaction.
The trade movement still continues to show
an extraordinary excess of exports over i'm
ports. The change in this comparison. since
che panic presents one of the most remarkable
movements in the history of our commerce.
For the five years 1869 10 1873 inclusive the inn

The Golden Star Mill.
San Frnnciscn Stock Rcnort.


 The splendid ten stamp gold mill built for the Golden Star mine, Ar izona, by Messrs. Berry X Place will be shipped in d few days. Mr. w. B. Hellings, the owner of the mine, has returned from the East having secured the necessary capital to put everything in working order, and with his well known business ener- gies will push the great mine for ward into the list of dividend paying properties. The necessary work at the mine is in progress to have the works in active operation in a very short time after the arrival of the machinery. Nlr. Helings proposes to work the Golden Star for legit innate profit, and not for a stock operation, there being no shares offered for sale, From the many sources that we have received favorable news and. reports of 1 inc mine, we have every reason to congratulate MT. Hellings as the owner ofa bonanza and hope tn ] example he has set of working she mine for its great yield of goll, in. stead selling stock to be assessed will be followed by others. Despite all the obstacles to be overcome Aiizona has many mines of great
 merit and unquestionable richness
 and the Golden Star promises t'
 equal anything on this coast.

Both its editor and all it correspondents exhibit an inexcus- able ignorance on tiiis question. Neither are they good a; guessing.
