THE government officials have compiled
summary statement of the imports and
exports for the nine months ending Sep
TENDER 80, 1881. or for the first threc-Quar-
tiers Of the current calendar year. The ag-
gregate loss of our exports of domestic
merchandise for that period is SS,4G2, $40,
the total exports of merchandise for 1881
thus far being 1904, Ill ,527 as against $6l2,-
574, l97 in 1876. The total imports for tho
same period were $49S, l93, 5i6 IN 1881 and
$54, 29S, 9l4 in 1880, a loss in the importations
in 1881 of sol ,l0j, 1868. For the ten months
the exports of merchandise and of specie,

Gently that our total exports are decreasing.

merchandise and specie for the first three
quarters of the current calendar year, as
compared with the same period of last year,
vary only in very slight degree, and that
the difference is the very small gain of 81 ).
