MIGRATION.

The Chief Bureau of Statistics has issued
its quarterly report of imports, exports, i'm
migration and navigation of the United
States for the three months ending June 80,
1882, and in its pages the merchants, the
manufacturers and business men in general
will find we'll classified array of facts that
throw valuable light on many important
subjects. Among articles imported during
the three month, as compared with the same
three months in 1881, we observe $50, $40, 900
pounds of coffee in the three months OF
1882, against 1875, 408, 900 pounds in 1881 raw
cotton 10 the amount of ,05S, 400 pounds,
against l liza, 177 in 1881; painting, statuary
and other works of art of American artists
Of the value of 49, 57, against s63,25S In
| 1881, a falling off one would scarcely expect;
raw silk SIPS, 5S4, against S69,269 in
1881, great advance, probably the
result of the increase of silk
manufacturing in the United States;
we are also materially increasing the
amount of home produced cocoons. OF tea
we imported 1894, 900 pounds, against H.
416,OOO pounds in 1881; the decrease was
probably in consequence of the large-grow-
ing supply having induced dealers TO supend
purch asses in anticipation of the fall of prices
that has taken place, for the national con-
sumption of tea as against coffee appears to
be upon the increase. The three months

tinue We received 2,S45,0OO bushels of
