THE CHICAGO 'I'RIBUNE: FRIDAY. MARCH 2, 1877. COMMERCE. How England Is Losing Her Export Trade. A Wail from the English Newspapers, what England Is Losing the United States Gains. ZLarge Increase in Our Exportations in 187 @rent Falling Off in the Value of Our Importations. Ths Boot Getting on the Right Leg at Last, Home Peculiar Facts Shown by Ofl- . olal Figures, Sptclal Correspondence of The Tribune, New YORK, Feb. 20.—In & recent letter I pre- sented to the readers of Tne TRIDUNE some facts and figures tending to show that this coun- try was not, at 1cast from a commerelal point of ylew, rushing headlong to tho **demnitton bowwows,” ns Mr. Mantllinl would say. The officls! statlsties which I quoted showed that while our imports hiad failen oft very materlally during the year 1876, our exports hiad been very greatly fucrcased. This, notwithstanding the . fact that our manufacturers were partfcularly vociferous during tho year in their cries of hard times.” But, it scems, while wanro gain- {ng on our export trade, England is losing hers, This fact has been widely commented on by the Englishnewspapers, and # recent nuuibor of the Manchester Courler glves & doleful account of he condition of trade last year, I quote from its article as foliows : Qur natlonal trading accaunts, brought down to the end of thie vear, show no algns of Improve- meat, our cxports for the year amoat to £200, - a0 (81,002, 870,480), sgalnat £223,405,063 ($1,117,320,815) In~ 1875, and £3,568,120 |§1.\M’.7uo.am| in 1874." Of cotton manufac- tares the decrease for tho year was nearly £4,000, « 600 (§:0,000,000), and of 1run and siecl £5,000, 000 (825,000,000), the totul decreasc belng £20, - 740,670 ($103,853,305). This steadily declining trado fa at length influcncing the national rovenuo; reduced cmployment and diminshiug profta na urally tend to a lessening expenditure, * Tho fal {ng oft in the manufacture of fron meann, of courde, W fitgo diminution of wages In purticuisr diatricts, and, consequently, 8 1ess purchasing power in tho hands of onu great claes of consnmers. Looked at s mere diminution of national anlea smounting 10 £5,000,000, wo may perhaps haraly reallze s {uil slgnifcance; but follwed ont In detail it 18 scen to involve consequences of serlous magnitude. A loss of onc-sixth of her export trade In three years may well excite alarm la Englaud. Her exports tor 1876 wero $200,000,000 less thun in 1874, and $115,000,000 less than in 1875, Eomething over 20,000,000 of this decrease was in the export of cotton goods, and £25,000,000 fn that of fron and steel, It s In these two producta that the United Statea has made such rapid strides that not,only have our manufac turers supplicd the home demand, hut have actually pushed thelr goods fnto the markets of fircat Britaln, competing with and beating her manufgcturers both as to quality snd price. Cottonand {ron manufacturers there cleorly admit thelr defent, and are puzzling their bralns to devise ways and means whereby thcy can ro- cover their lost prestige. To-day many of tacir epindles aro fdle, thelr workmen unemployed, while our cotton mills are running day and lght to fill orders which have aceumulated and ‘which i will take them many months to com- filele. some of which orders come direct from ngland, In these two great staples, cotton and fron, England has lost her rrcmm:. and it will be the Taule of our manufacturcra if sho everregalus (¢, A MARKED CONTRAST, ° In morked contrast with England’s loss of trade urn tho figures compiied by Dr, Edward Youug, Chief of the Treasury Department Bu- Teau of Statlstlcs.
