The British Consul at New York observes, it his report to the Foreign Office, that tas declinet Current Ratea. in the trade of New York in 1875 with the Vaited Kingdom and British pospacious was less than in the New York trade with olber countries, tho_valno of the Britial imports into New York showing a decline of about 10 per cent, and the exports about 2 per-coat, while the vine of the New York imports from all countries declined about 13 per cent., and the exports to all countries about & per cant.. But there has been an enormous decline in the value of British imports ints New York since 1972, which was the year of the greatest British trade with that port. The value then exceeded 200 million dollars, and in 1875 it bad fallen to the extent of 85 million dollara, or between 40 and 50 per cent. But the exports from New York. to the United Kingdom and British possessione. which were not quite of the value of 210 mil.ton dollars in 1879, till eraseded 206 million dollars is 1875. - Consul Archibald adds that the falling off in the imports into New York of British mazifactured goods is not attributablo, solely |

in American manufacture of certain staple articles veretofore almost exclusively imported From the United Kingdom, and notably in manufactures of frou and cotton, British manufacturere must henceforth except an in- cressing competition in the United States in these two branches of industry, as well as in fabrics of silk. In regard to cotton goods, it is not alone that they are being produced nearly as cheaply as in England, but for certain qualities of goods, misnufactured in some of the New York and New England mills & decided preferance exists over the highly fuisbed dalicoes and shirtings of Manchester. But with stimulated production wages in the United States will doubtless advance, indirectly owing in no sinali Jogreo to the increased expense of
