An analysis of the merchandise movements oil
eleven months Of three years-Ju!y to May 81
presents some curious comparisons. The totais Oh
the exports and imports for eleven months ehoou
May 81 of the respective years we're as follows:
1881, S1422, 670,ss6; 1882. $1.36l, 400 Zlo;
1888 81 427 703, 99s. Thus the greatest difference
between the highest-1ss2'S3- and the lowest
1881 ys2-of the totals Is only 500 29s, 7s2, and
the total OF the period OF 1928 differs from
that of IssO-s1 only by being the small sum OF
So O33 l12 greater While the foregoing shows
wonderful regularity for the total amounts OF three
years movements. the inward aud outward move
ments show wide fluctuations. The exports OF the
last eleven months-Juy /. 1852. to May 81. 1888
were 500 Col 902 less than for the period 1ssO0sl
and we're S60,s6O.s74 greater than for the
period of lss1js2, showing an extreme fuctua-
ton of $3.50 4G2. 770. The imports OF the last
eleven months were $74635,014 more
than for the period Of lSs0's. and only $3. O92
less than for the period OF 1sSl-s2
showing an extreme 1uctuation in the
three periods Of S7s 110.1Oe The excess of ex-
ports for the last eleven months is S73, 43l $3.50
more than excess for the period ended May 81,
1882, and is STA 23G.9 16 less than the excess for
tho period ended May 81. 1882. How those mer-
cbandise balances were modified by the specie
movements of the respective periods is shown be-
low.
