THE PAST HALF-YEAR’S TRADE.

Now that we have the returns of our foreign trade for the past half-year, it is of interest to see how far the indications

which they afford of a largely-augmented volume of trade

are confirmed by the other available figures. First, how-

ever, it will be well to glance at the gain which our foreign

trade has shown month by month during the half-year. The figures are :-—

* Owing to slight adjustments, these aggregate totals do not quite agree with a summation of the monthly totals.

The above figures show a steady and substantial expansion in both the import and export trade. The half-year’s imports, which amounted in value to £189,730,000, exhibit an increase, as compared with 1887, of £10,862,000, or exactly 6 per cent., of which the bulk is due to the augmented value of our imports of metals, but there has also been a decided increase in raw textile materials and tood products. ‘The total exports of home produce and colonial produce, &c., re-exported amounted in value to £144,753,000, being an increase, as compared with last year, of £10,298,000, or just over 74 percent. This gain is due to an expansion in all the great classes of our exports, being most marked in metals, including machinery, and in the so-called ‘other exports,” which include a mass of articles not falling under any of the main categories, while it is relatively least marked in textile manufactures. Altogether, our total foreign trade in the half-year was valued at £334,483,000, being an increase over the first half of 1887 of £21,160,000, cr about 62 per cent. In some important articles prices are certainly higher than they were a year ago, but, as the general level of prices is

case twelve months ago, the bulk of the increase in the

value of our foreign trade must be due to an expansion in its volume.

Next to the returns of our foreign trade, the goods receipts of the Home railways are probably most valuable, as an indication of the condition of trade. Owing, however, to the special way in which railway earnings are affected by the Easter and Whitsuntide holidays, and to the fact that these holidays did not fall at the same time this year as in 1887, it is impossible to satisfactorily deal with the figures month by month. The following are the gross results for the two first quarters of the year, as compared with 1887 :—

TotraL Goops RecErpts on British RAILWAYS.

Gross Receipts. Increase over 1887. £ £ %

Quarter ending March ...... 9,131,000 ...... 135,000 = 1°5 Quarter ending June ......... 9,098,000 ...... 419,000 = 48

ROUME. séiccagencwees 18,229,000 ...... 554,000 = 3:1

These figures agree with the Board of Trade returns in showing a steady development in trade, which appears, however, to have been less marked in the first than in the second quarter of the year, owing to the severe weather, not only here, but throughout Europe and in the United States. But they do not show nearly so decided a gain, which may be due either to reductions in rates or to the fact that the internal trade of the country, upon which the receipts of the railways depend in a large degree, has not improved proportionately with our foreign trade.

Dealing next with the Bankers’ Clearing-house returns in a similar way, and eliminating from the totals the clearings on Stock Exchange pay-days (to do which we have to take the totals so as to include a few days of the current half-year), we get the following results :—

LonpoN BANKERS’ CLEARINGS.

Total Clearings, Less Stock Exchange Pay-days. Increase over 1887.

£ £ a Quarter ending March 1,272,504,000 76,060,000 ... = 63 Quarter ending June 1,427,202,000 214,789,000 ... =17°7

WOM nual 2,699,706,000 290,849,000 ... =12°0

Between these figures and the Board of Trade return there is, it will be seen, a very close agreement. ‘They are, however, rather more favourable even than the trade returns, and this draws our attention to the fact that quite apart from the Stock Exchange transactions, the volume of the bankers’ clearings has been considerably increased by the great activity amongst loan-mongers and company pro- moters during the past half-year. In addition to the London bank clearings it will be of interest to subjoin those for Manchester :-—

In view of the expansion of business, which the figures we have given so clearly indicate, coupled as this has been

' with a want of elasticity in prices, the figures relating to not higher, and is probably somewhat lower than was the | the stocks of commodities now held are of interest.

* Large stocks—14,000 tons—now held in Paris.

In several cases stocks have increased, despite the increased demand, and this explains the want of buoyancy in prices. Stocks of pig-iron are larger, owing to the immense accumulation of supplies in Scotland, where speculators have kept prices unduly high. ‘The increase in the case of copper and tin needs no explanation, being entirely due to the action of the French syndicate, who have manipulated the market. The position of stocks of raw material for the textile trades does not appear unfavourable, but in Minci ‘ing Lane stocks are mostly large, with the exception of coffee.

THE BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS FOR JUNE. Tue returns of our foreign trade again show decidedly satisfactory results. The month’s imports amounted in value to £30,479,000, being an increase as compared with last year of £2,924,000, or over 94 per cent., which is mainly due to our own augmented purchases of duty-free food, products, and raw textile materials. In the exports of home products, which were valued at £19,043,000, there was an increase of £1,722,000, or nearly 10 per cent. ‘his improvement, as will be seen from the tables given below, is due to a gain in every class of exports. The re-export trade of the month also compares favourably with last year, the figures showing an increase of £452,000, or 9+ per cent., which brings up the entire gain in our total exports to £2,174,000, or 92 per cent. These results, it may be noted, are not in any way due to any exceptional cireum- stances affecting the returns for June, either in this year or in 1887 ; and since, as we showed in the Kronomist last week, pricesdo notappeartohaveadvanced, we must conclude thatthe volume oftrade is upon adecidedly larger scale than it was a year ago. The following tables show the imports and exports divided into their most important classes :—

In articles imported for manufacture during June, copper shows an only slight increase in quantity as compared with last year, but owing, of course, to the much higher prices now ruling, the value exhibits an augmenta- tion of no less than 73h percent. ‘Tin has come to hand in large quantities, chiefly from Australia. Owing to the slackness in the steel trade, the arrivals of iron ore from Spain remain comparatively small. As regards textile materials, a rather marked feature is the heavy arrivals of flax from Russia, the total for the six months being one- third larger than in 1887 and three times as large as in 1886. Hemp has also come to hand freely from the Philippine Islands. Cotton shows an increase both in quantity and value, for, although the receipts from India have been small, those from the United States have been large. For the six months the figures are :—

In wool, the figures, both for the month and the half-year, show a considerable increase as anes with 1887, and it may be noted that, although the bulk of this is, of course, due to the aus yinented shipments from Australia, the receipts of wool from other countries—both intra and extra European—have steadily increased of late.

On the export side of the account the total for the month shows an increase in the exports of home produce of £1,722,000, or nearly 10 per cent. The textile trades generally exhibit a satisfactory expansion, cotton goods

In the iron and steel trades a considerable improvement is also recorded. <A feature of much importance is the further improvement shown this month in nearly all the more important of the so-called

‘other” or unclassified exports. Turning to the returns for the six months we find that textiles show a gain in value of only just over 3 per cent.,whichis not very brilliant. This comparatively slight expansion is due to the quietude of the cotton trade in piece-goods. Jute goods and linen

yarn show a decrease; but linen piece-goods mark an increase, and there is a very substantial improvement in silk goods. The figures for the woollen trades are not

altogether satisfactory, for although woollen and worsted

yarn and woollen fabrics have been exported upon a larger scale, therehasbeen adecline in worsted fabrics, and in carpets. Amongst our metal exports copper shows a great falling off in quantity, for althoughlarge amounts of Chili bars have been shipped to Francethe exports of copperto the East have fallen off to about one-third of what they were in 1887. Owing, however, to higher prices, the value shows an increase

over last year. Although our half-year’s exports of iron

and steel were somewhat smaller than in 1887, the value shows a gain of over 10 per cent.,

rise in prices as to the fact that a much larger proportion

of the total exports consisted of manufactured iron and steel. ‘The increase under the head of machinery, Xc., is very marked. Amongst the other exports there are few

articles of any importance which show any falling-off, and in most instances there is a considerable gain as compared with last year. The improvement in our export trade is, in fact, very widely distributed, both as regards commodities and customers, and this naturally strengthens the hopes which are entertained of a further improvement.

THE WORLD'S RAILWAYS AND TELEGRAPHS. Raiways and telegraphs have so much to do with the development of commerce that occasionally it is interesting to observe what progress is being made in the extension throughout the world of these great modes of transporta- tion and communication. According to the latest official figures which have been published, the railway mileage of the world in 1886-7 compared as follows with that existing at the close of 1881-2

It will be seen that, although there have been no new lines of any magnitude undertaken during the past few years in this country, yet no less than 870 miles of small lines and branches have been built in the past five years. The railway systems, however, of France and Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia, have been extended much more rapidly than ourown. ‘This is, of course, accounted for in a large measure by the fact that, in this country the railways are entirely private undertakings, while abroad they are largely owned or controlled by the State. Much, in fact, of the new mileage constructed on the Continent undoubtedly owes its existence, not to commercial but to military considerations, being a necessary corollary to the great military preparations which the Powers have been making so continuously.

Asia, so far as railways are concerned, is not much more

than a synonym for India, in which country construction has | been carried onactively, to some extent however, upon military

and not commercial lines. In the case of Australasia there

is a considerable increase, all the colonies having vigorously gone in for a policy of railway expansion, the complete

cent. Of this immense increase, the bulk is of course due to the United States, whose railway system in the period

1882-7 increased from 114,500 miles to about 146,500

miles, being a gain of no less than 32,000 miles. This still

leaves a mileage of about 14,000 miles for the rest of the

continent, of which the largest portion is to be attributed to Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and the River Plate countries.

results of which have yet to be seen. Absolutely, but not relatively, New South Wales has accomplished most work

in the five years, that colony having put forth great efforts

to regain the trade of her fertile Riverina provinces,

which has been drawn away by Victoria. As regards the telegraph system of the world, the

following figures show the length of line in the principal centres open in 1885-6, as compared with 1880-1 :

Total, excluding United Kingdom..

The above figures show an increase in five years of 148,850 miles of telegraph line, equal to about 38 per cent., and this increase does not of course fully represent the increase in telegraph facilities, since a large amount of additional wire has been strung upon the existing lines. In the British colonial possessions the increase is most marked, owing to the development of telegraphic communication in India and Australia. The increase would be decidedly larger if Canada were included, but only very imperfect figures are obtainable for 1880 or 1881. In Europe,France exhibits the most progress, next Russia, and then Germany. On the American continent the United States telegraph system has been immensely extended, like the railways, and in South America, also the work ot extension has been actively prosecuted in Brazil and the Argentine Republic.

With regard to the export yarn trade, little change is noticeable since our last monthly report. Speaking broadly, spinners are fairly well engaged, but the contracts unexecuted are in a few cases rather lighter than a few weeks ago. At the moment there is no weight of business offering, though the inquiry from India seems a trifle more cheerful. Yarns for home consumption made from American cotton keep pretty firm in price, owing to the enormous consumption in East and North-East Lancashire. Still, there are signs here and there of a lessened consumption of cop twist and weft, owing to the unremunerative condition of the cloth trade.

The weaving department continues slow in nearly all kinds of cloth. It is becoming apparent that the present production is with difficulty being taken off, and the

large increase of looms got to work during the past two years is at last telling upon the “margin.” It is simply the old story of the ‘supply being too great for the demand. The manufacturers who use bought yarn are experiencing a very lean business, and in various districts the weaving machinery is not being run at full stretch. The local holidays at Burnley and Dawen this week are being slightly prolonged, owing to the state of this branch of trade. As a rule, producers are light in order, though in a few cases best shirting makers are well sold. The following results by weaving companies have been declared :-—

The special advance in wages to cotton spinning opera- tives has now taken place all round, the employers of North and North-East houses here having this week conceded the demand. ‘The movement respecting a federation of local associations of employers in the four Northern counties to deal with the wages question is making headway, through the action of the United Cotton Spinners Association of Manchester.

PROGRESS OF BRITISH MERCHANT SHIPPING.

THE

THE return which has been recently issued by the Board of Trade, showing the progress of the British mercantile marine, as compared with other countries, for a number of years past, contains, as usual, much interesting information. In 1887, the total tonnage of the mercantile marine of the British Empire amounted to 9,136,000 tons, being a decrease of 111,000 tons as compared with 1886. Of this tonnage, 7,296,000 tons belonged to the United Kingdom, as against 7,322,000 tons in 1886, showing a decrease of only 26,000 tons, so that in the shipping tonnage of the colonies, &c., there must have been a decrease of 85,000 tons. The total tonnage ¥ was s dis rided as ' follows —

From this it will be seen that while the sail tonnage of the United Kingdom has fallen off by 146,000 tons, or nearly 44 per cent., the steam tonnage, which is relatively many more times effective, shows a gain of 120,000 tons, or nearly 34 per cent. he following figures show the total tonnage of the merchant navy of ‘the British Empire and the United Kingdom, as ‘selaeanee with that of the rincipal maritime countries of Europe and the United

THE ECONOMIST MONTHLY TRADE SUPPLEMENT.

lll =I =a

July 14, 1888.

The chief feature in this table is the comparatively moderate growth in the mercantile marine of any of our competitors since, say, 1880. For instance, the shipping tonnage of the British merchant navy between 1880 and 1886 increased by 94 per cent., and the tonnage of that of the United Kingdom alone by 12; per cent., Whereas France and Germany show a gain of only 8 and 8} per cent. respectively. On the other hand, the United States lost ground to a decided extent. Holland also, jn common with a few other continental countries, exhibits a decline. ‘These figures, show, as we have said, the total tonnage, and on turning to the steam tonnage alone we find that the character of the comparison is somewhat different. ‘I'he principal figures are as follows :—

Here we see that while the steam tonnage of the United Kingdom increased by 1,369,000 tons, or 46 per cent, between 1880 and 1886, the steam tonnage of France and Germany increased 80 and 110 per cent. respectively in the same period. It is true, of course, that percentages are somewhat misleading, and that the absolute gain in the case of these two countries is small compared with our own, but, nevertheless, their relatively more rapid advance should be noted, although, of course, it must be attributed to its proper cause, viz., the stimulus of the subsidies or bounties which have been granted by the State.

As regards the carrying trade of the United Kingdom, it will be seen from the following statement that in 1887 a larger proportion of the foreign trade of this country was carried in British bottoms than at any previous period :—

From the above figures it appears that since 1880 France has carried a substa untially larger portion of her foreign trade in her own bottoms, owing, of course, to the large | subsidies which the State has granted. (Germany and the ' United States also show an improvement in this respect, | but most other maritime countries have lost ground, a larger portion of their trade having been carried in foreign |

bottoms. Exactly how we have fared in competing for the ocean carrying trade of the world it is not easy to

determine, but the figures would seem to show that, despite

all efforts to the contrary, the predominant position which

we have so long held has been scarcely, if at all, affected. The figures given below do not show whether the economy

in the use of labour_en board ship, which was effected in go marked a degrye in the years previous to 1886, has

recently been carried any further, since the totals for 1886 and 1887 include for the first time the number of

Lascars and Asiatics under Asiatic articles of agreement.

Allowing for this, however, it appears that the proportion of men employed for 100 tons of shipping has become rather smaller in the past two years. SraTEMENT showing PROPORTION of MEN (exclusive of MAsTERs)

There is a small increase of 13,692


British Wootten Goops 1x Curna.—On this subject Mr W. Holland, our Acting-Consul at Newchwang, writes as follows :—‘“In the imports of woollens [Newchwang] there was a decrease of 3,040 pieces, the chief falling-off being in lastings. This may perhaps be due to the exodus of soldiers in 1887 as compared with 1886, for expensive garments made of lastings at 8 taels to 11 taels per piece are more in the line of the military and mandarin classes than of the civilians. But it is at the same time possible that the yearly increase in the import of Russian cloth may have some effect on other woollens. This cloth resembles our English navy cloth, has a high gloss on it, and looks very well when new, but wears badly. There are two kinds, known locally as ‘k’ou kala’ and ‘ yang kala.’ Thinking from its name that the latter might not be Russian at all, I bought some of both kinds to satisfy myself, and found Russian letters and trade-marks on all. The ‘yang kala’ is poor stuff, and sells comparatively cheap, being imported by steamer either from Shanghai or from the Russian ports on the East coast, Vladivostok, &e. But the ‘kou kala,’ which derives its name from Chang Chia K’ou, the pass in the Great Wall, actually comes overland through Siberia, and finds a market here at such a high retail price as $1 and $1 25c¢ a foot (6 feet wide), which is, of course, required to repay the heavy charges for such a journey. The wholesale price is 22 taels to 23 taels (£6 1s 6d to £6 7s) per piece of 50 feet. Woollen materials will probably never find much favour with the bulk of the population of this country, because garments padded with cotton wool are cheaper, lighter, and warmer ; but that, in spite of the above-mentioned exodus of soldiery, the import of this expensive Russian cloth should increase in 1887 to the highest figure it has reached (1,740 pieces) since it began to find a market in 1878, points con- clusively to the inference that, with the increased population and prosperity of the district, a demand has arisen among the well-to-do classes for a thick, glossy cloth that will lend an air of sleek respectability to the wearer, even though it should be dear and not wear well. I commend this fact to the notice of our woollen manufacturers at Bradford and elsewhere.”

Tue Meruop or Payrne Untrep States Customs Durttgs. —‘‘ Hereafter,” writes the New York Financial Chronicle, ‘our importing merchants are to have the opportunity afforded them of using a new, simple, and safe method of paying customs duties in this city. As is well known, the statute requires all customs to be collected in lawful money ; consequently that business cannot be done in the usual way with certified checks. Heretofore the importer has always been forced first to obtain from the bank the actual money (gold or silver, or legal tenders, or silver certificates), then send or take it to the Custom House, and await his turn. Altogether, the operation has been a burdensome affair which merchants have long been trying to simplify, and, besides, it was attended with considerable risk. 'T'o the Government also, the mode of payment was by no means a pefectly safe one, as every person knows who has seen the coin which has been received by the collector each day, dragged to the Sub-Treasury. Thisflarge amount of routine work is all to be superseded now by a very simple device suggested and prepared by Mr George 8. Coe, and accepted as satisfactory by the Treasury department. It seems that every day any bank wishing to do so will be allowed to leave with the Assistant-Treasurer such amount of lawful money as it desires ‘on account of customs duties,’ tor which will be issued a temporary deposit ticket in duplicate, the original deposit ticket to go to the collector, and the duplicate to the bank. This being done, any importer, a customer of that bank, can draw his own check for the amount of duties he wishes to pay, which check the bank will charge up, and endorse thereon as follows :—‘ The collector of customs will transfer the within amount from money placed to his order by the-——Bank.’ Every morning at 10 a.m. the Assistant-Treasurer is to return to the Clearing House, in an envelope addressed to the bank making the deposit, all checks so received by the collector, together with his own check for any unused balance, and the bank returns to the Assistant-Treasurer the duplicate temporary receipt.”

AMERICAN V. British Wootten Dress Goops.—We take the following from the New York Commercial Bulletin :— Consul Schoenhof has recently furnished the State Depart- ment with an elaborate report upon the cost of manufacturing all-wool dress goods in Massachusetts and England. He says :—“ Few lines of manufacture are so complicated as woollens. We have all-wool goods and mixed goods ; goods of cotton-warp and all-wool-weft; cotton-warp, shoddy and wool-weft ; goods of shoddy and wool, without cotton ; goods made almost entirely of what the poor people aptly call ‘devil’s dust,’ with just a scratching of wool to hold the shoddy from flying away, but passing under the pretentious name of woollens ; all-wool goods with cotton carded in the wool; heavy weight and light weight goods ; goods with a labour cost of three times the value of the wool, and goods in which less than one-third of the value of the wool represents the labour cost. Besides all these variations, we have worsteds, which, although classed separately, a°e composed of the same raw material, but form a different class under which manufactured wool appears in the market. Comparisons on a broad line, under a general heading, as in our census wnder ‘ woollens’ or ‘ worsted,’ are, therefore, impossible, unless we could be sure that foreign census reports contained the same itemised columns and the classifications contained quanti- tatively and qualitatively the same goods and in like pro- portions. The only method, then, would be to select special articles of wide and general use, manufactured in different countries from the same class of raw material, and base an inquiry thereon. ‘his plan I have followed in this inquiry, and have selected as the first of a number of articles of wool manufactures all-wool dress goods on which to obtain the comparative cost of production. Consul Schoenhof then selects the class of goods known as sack- ings, as these offer instances of where the working methods in the two countries are nearest alike. He presents a lengthy statement of particulars from an American mill, and two statements from English mills, referring to differences in conditions, &c., in the course of his remarks. In recapitulating he says, the net cost of manufacture in Massachusetts and Leeds would be as follows :—

“The manufacturing cost is 33 cents in America, against 38 cents in England—5 cents less in America; but the wool costs 38 cents more in America, in part on account of the wool duties. In other words, if we had the wool at the same cost of the English, we could produce at 64°3 cents what it costs in England 69°90 cents to produce. Our wools, of course, sell at as much higher rates over foreign wools than the duty and charges amount to. The cheaper the foreign wools the greater the disproportion between our price and the foreign wool price. The wools used in England—cheap colonial clothing wool—though very short, are admirably adapted to that class of goods. They give a much handsomer face, and have a lustre and life which ours seldom show. Most of them are even of smaller shrinkage than ours of corresponding nature. Some of them, however, are absolutely prohibited. There the wool costs 11 cents in the grease, but the manufacturer importing the wool has to pay a fine at the custom house of 10 cents, not alone for the wool he uses, but 10 cents for each pound of grease and dirt, which he has to import along with the wool, and is lost in the scouring; consequently 4 pounds of wool are required to produce 1 pound of cloth 4 by 10, or 40 cents on 43°6 cents worth of wool. (A wool of this sort would cost the American manufacturer fully 114 cents more per pound of greasy wool, as not alone the duty but also the extra freight and charges, brokerage commissions, &c., have to be counted, so that the 44 cents in the 4 pounds required for a pound of cloth would cost him 90 cents, or 105 per cent more than the English


| branches of industry in Chile,”

manufacturer has to pay.) Our custom house statisties only show the rates paid on what is imported and never on what is excluded by prohibitive duties. ‘The excluded materials are those which make the success or failure of manufacturing. The excluded materials, on the contrary, however, always find a way into the United States in the form of manufactured goods.

“Whatever the causes, whatever the advantages or dis- advantages in regard to the ultimate result in the character, quality or appearance of the goods, one thing is certain, that so far as the cheapening of price is concerned our manufacturing system seems to have the honours.”

CaTTLE BREEDING IN CuiLe.—‘‘There are two large writes Mr Vice-Consul

Thomas, ‘“ which could be developed in a very few years, if our cattle and pork breeders were to take steps either to establish these businesses in the country on their own account, or make arrangements with some of the principal Chilean farmers for introducing some of cur best breeds of horned cattle and pigs to mix with native blood. Up to the present there is not a properly established breeding place in the country. The cattle imported from the Argentine Republic are of very inferior breed; and the porcine race of Chile could not be of a worse or coarser kind. There is plenty of room here, and also pasture in abundance in the south, for a large business in these two industries, the former of which could, in time and with ths facility of the Panama Canal when opened, compete in meat not only with the Argentine in Chile, but also with that Republic in Europe. ‘This is only a suggestion which is, I think, worth studying, because it may involve agricultural relations in the future between Chile and England, which might be made profitable to both. The same suggestion is also applicable to sheep-raising here. This business is entirely in its infancy in Chile, both on account of the distance from Europe, the Argentine having twelve days’ advantage in time and freights, and beeause the home (Chilean) demand for wool—two cloth factories only—is not sutticient to encourage the production of the article to a large extent. But, with capital and enterprise, there is plenty of room for the development of a very large production of wool, which could not only supply native wants, but also add a considerable quantity to the aggregate necessary for the woollen manufactories in Great Britain. hese are problems, the solution of which I really believe to be worthy the greatest considera- tion, to discover whether ‘there is or is not business in them : in the former case, there would be so many other inducements to bind together, in the future, the agricultural and commercial relations of Great Britain and Chile to their mutual advantage. It isa singular fact that in Chile, although it imports such a large number of cattle annually for consumption, and that the latter have to be well fed and fattened before being killed, it has apparently never occurred to the Chileans to introduce, with this object either turnips or mangold wurzel into the country, which produces neither of these two roots nor oats, although it could produce all three in great abundance.”

Tne Cost or Grarn Farina my Catirornra.-—From Los Angeles, Mr Vice-Consul Mortimer writes :—‘‘ 1 am indebted to Mr D. Freeman, a Canadian gentleman who owned and farmed a ranch of 25,000 acres, for the following particulars as to the cost of harvesting, &c. :—Cost of ploughing, preparing the land for seed, and sowing, Is 3d per acre ; cost of harvesting, 1s 2d per acre ; total cost, exclusive of seed, 2s 5d per acre. On many of the large ranches steam ploughs are used, and on others gang ploughs, which turn four to six furrows, and are drawn by from eight to fourteen mules, Not unfrequently the ploughs are run in a straight line for a distance of six or eight miles. A patent machine for sowing seed is employed, by means of which one man and a team can sow 100 acres of grain in a day. ‘The acreage in grain is increasing largely every year in this district. In consequence, however, of the growth in population, the surplus for export remains about the same, and is sent to Arizona. <A number of large grain ranches have been subdivided and sold in small tracts during the past year.”

Inp1an Corron Goops.—Commenting upon the growth

of India’s trade in cotton goods, the Times of India writes :

“Previous to 1878-79 no attempt was made to ascertain

the total annual consumption of cotton by the Indian

mills, but in that year the Bombay Mill Owners’ Associa-

tion compiled a table, and each autumn they issue it, giving

the information to 30th June. Taking the official figures to 31st March of the exports, and the mill returns of the

consumption, and reducing both to bales of 34 ewts., we

annex a comparative statement :—

* Estimated.

In the present decade the mill consumption, it will be seen,

has increased by no less than 204 per cent. the mills—apart from the hand loom industry, an unknown quantity—took one-fourth of the visible supply ; now they require over one-third.

Ten years ago J o

We are, therefore, within measur-

able distance of the period when India will require to import

cotton if the trade continues to expand at its present rate of progression. ‘lhere are pessimists who affirm that, as

the trade depends upon China for its very existence, the day is not far distant when the Celestial Empire will, by setting up mills of her own, pay India back in the same com as India has paid England. But, like most matters

celestial, it will be time enough to think of this when John

Chinaman gives India something more than a hint. No

country in the world can point to such remarkable figures as India can in her export trade in cotton yarns. In a dozen years from 8 million pounds the shipments have

risen to 1134 million pounds! The increase last year on the preceding twelve months was 21} million pounds, equal

to over 234 per On the two years before, the improvement was 354 million pounds, equal to over 45 per

Average for eight years ............ 58,473,180

The yield of 1887 was, therefore, 4,552,603 kilos above the

average, and for quantity the best of the series. The

general average price of the cocoons in 1887 for the total Italian yield has been calculated at 3°451 lire per kilo, Which would give an approximative value for the whole yield of 148,481,977 lire, showing an increase of 7,089,397

lire over 1886, according to the figures (141,392,580 lire) noted in my report on the yield of that year, or an increase of 9,386,972 lire it the Government figures for 1886 reine eeres

EE EE


(139,095,005 lire) are adopted. These figures must, hew- ever, be considered as approximative only ; the real value of the yield may probably be somewhat higher than they indicate.

Tue Bririsn Surpprnc Trape.—At the annual meeting last week of the General Shipowners’ Society, the chairman said :—‘ They could congratulate themselves upon the fact that the slight improvement in shipping business which was noticed in the middle of last year had since continued, but it was only partial. It had not, for instance, applied in any degree whatever to the American trade ; and the improvement had not been felt in the great trade with the West Coast of America, or to any important extent in that with the Australasian markets. As regarded all home- ward freight from the East the level had seldom been lower than during the period since they last met. The happy exception to this state of affairs had been noticed in our European carrying trade, particularly in the trade from Russia. Had it not been that shipowners had become convinced that a very large amount of the capital employed in shipping was lost, and had they not written down the value of their vessels for purposes of insurance and depreciation to something like the present low level, and so reduced the costs of the voyage, very little of the apparent profit on working would have resulted from the improvement in freights. It was rather to the economies which had been effected than to any great rise in rates that the improved condition of shipping must be attributed. ‘This had led to more building of ships, and he had observed that some of their esteemed friends and critics were alarmed at the growth of production in tonnage which had already taken place. That fact, however, must be taken with some very important qualifications. They all knew that during an eventful three years a little while ago the production of tonnage exceeded 1,000,000 tons a year, and that that period of inflation was followed by another period in which the production was not very much over a quarter of a million tons per annum. He was sure that if the production of tonnage in those lean years were analysed, and there were deducted from the total production the mail steamers and the steamers for foreigners and for exceptional purposes, the contribution to the carrying capacity of the country would hardly make up for the annual waste of tonnage which was inevitable. With the slight improvement last year in freights, therefore, it was not surprising that the shipyards which had been idie began to receive orders, and that production had recovered to something like a normal and not unhealthy condition.”

Propuction oF Coat IN THE Unrrep States.—The total production of all kinds of commercial coal in 1887 was 110,680,000 tons, being an increase over 1886 of 14,540,000 tons. ‘The total output of coal was valued at the mines at $173,530.996, being an increase of $26,418,241. The production of Pennsylvania anthracite amounted to 35,273,000 tons, valued at $79,365,000, being an increase of 2,508,000 tons, and $7,807,000, as compared with 1886. The remaining 75,407,000 tons, which consisted of bituminous, brown, and other coal, were valued at $94,166,000, being an increase of 10,030,000 tons, and $18,611,000, as compared with 1886. The total production of the leading States, and the value at the mine, is shown in the following table :—
