grafton.
The quarterly report for the quarter end
ing Mxrch 81 relative to the European com.
merce, shows some interesting facts as to the
location of the balance OF trade IN our favor
For the Atlantic ports the imports from Eng.
land, Scotland and Ireland we're $27, 800, ,7O6
while onr total exports to the same countries
were $68, ,826,574. For France the -exportt
and imports we're about equal, being valued
at $15.OOO. 900. For Germany the exports
we're $11 6OO, 900, or $2,OHO, 900 in excess OF
the imports. For the Netherlands and Bel
Rium the exports were 1886, 900, or &c. 3,O,
ono in excess of the imports. For all other
European countries the exports were $12.-
zoo, 900, nr $4,000, 900 in excess of tho i'm
ports. The same table shows that while the
port Of New York had an excess of exports
amounting to $2O.OOO,OOO to Eng-
land, Scotland and Ireland, the
excess of imports from France to the same
port was 81, ,OOO, 600, with Germany the same
port had an excess of $2,OOO,OOO Imports,
and with the Netherlands and Belgium the
exports exceeded the imports by 100000
Boston had an excess Of $4,OOO,0OO of ex-
ports to England. Scotland and Ireland. She.
did n business with France or Germany,
and but g. trife with any other European,
countries. Pn,ladelphia has an excess Of
exports to al European countries. Will.
not handling 40 much commerce with Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland as Boston, nor,
Of course, SO much as New York, she YET
had an excess of exports of 80, 10000.
She imported nothing fr IN France, but ex-
ported 81 5000 worth of merchandise, i'm
porting but $4,000 from Germany. Tue
exports were $38Ot,O. For the Netherlands:
Imports $29O,OOO, exports $l,OOO,OO0
Boston and Pbiladelphia-control five
sixths of the European COM
rnerce of the Atlantic coast. Baltimore
and Charleston, 8. c., do the next larges,
business. In fact, Baltimore has q better
showing proportionately as to exports than
any other port. Importing but $78O,OOO
exported sc, 6,OOO,OOO. From France the i'm
ports were $52, 1000; exports. $3,4OOOOO
Germany: Imports, $4,000; exports,
81, ,70O,OO Baltimore has but q triflinp
commercial relation with the Netherlands
and Belgium. Charleston had an excess Of
81, 100000 of exports in England, Scotland
and Ireland: to France an excess of 81 900,
900. In truth, it Is all exports with
Charleston, for her total imports from al
European countries do not reach $4,000
Under the heading of all other countries.
which includes South America and all the
Eastern countries, Charleston and Savannah.
Ga, show the heaviest exports, with the ex-
ception of the port of New York. The gul.
ports including Passo del N,rte, Texas, I'm
porting less than 81, 100000 during the
three months, exported $45, ,OOO, 900 in mer-
ports from the United States. New Orleans
$18 100000; to France, $4,000 900; to Ger
many, 81, 2,O0O, 900; and to other European
countries, $7,OOO,O0O. The imports of Nov
Orleans and other Southern ports are too
small to be mentioned. For Galveston the
exports to England, Scotland and Ireland
we're $3, 3,5OO,OO0; to France, $1,2OO,OOO; to
Germany, $8OC, 900; and to other European
100000. Mobile exported $3, OOO.-
DOO, of which one-half was to the Engish
isles. So it will be seen that the total excess
Of our exports of 800, ,OOO, 600 during thrr.
months is derived to the extent of nearl,
On0enAlI from Inc commerce OF the gull
ports.
It is also interesting, that while our trade
With the British isles is steadily growing il
our favor, that large percentage of the III
,reasing immigration to this country is from
England, Scotland and Ireland. During tue
shree years ending March 81 the total immi
grafton was 2l, ,735 persons. The statement
BY countries of immigrants arriving in the
United States ls as follows:

The advance proof- slips for the quarter
ending June 80 are sufficiently in hand t.
warrant the statement that tho figures xivel
above both for commerce and Immigration
