FRENCH EXPORTERS REJOICING IN AMERICAN
PROSPERITY.
IRON AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNEi
LA ROCHELLE, Dec. 23.-The annual statement
showing the value of declared exports from the
Consular districts of France 10 the United States
during the year ending September 80, 1879, has
made its appearance from the Consulate-Gcneral
and shows an increase of so .33S.077 IL over the
exports of the preceding year. Notwithstanding.
then, our boast that we are year by year becoming
less and less dependent on Europe for supplying
our wants, here are figures which show the con-
trary so far at least as articles of elegance and
luxury are concerned for viii be observed in the
table append. showing the comparative exports
in 1878 and 1879 of the Twenty-Five
principal articles on the list, that scarcely
any of them may be classed under the
head of necessities. The statement argues. too.
more loudly than volumes could, the return of ma
terial prosperity TO the United States. When peo-
pie send abroad for over a million dollars worth of
bronzes and paintings in single year. and that,
too to only single country Of Europe, it needs no
argument to prove that money is easy at home.
Figures are apt TO be tiTesOme reading am well
aware but the appended statements, which have
carefully compiled from last years and this years
reports are so suggestive and conclusive that L
venture 10 include them here.
