BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS.
The Board of Trade returns for December were issued on January 7. The estimated value of foreign and colonial produce for December amounted to £33,121,159, against £29,341,917 in the corresponding month of 1872, and £25,677,612 in 1871. The totals for the year were— in 1871, £330,788,370 ; 1872, £354,120,444; and 1873, £370,380,342. The estimated value of British and Irish produce for December was £19,147,508, against £20,516,253 in December of 1872, and £17,378,412 in 1871. For the 12 months the figures stand — 1871, £223,066,162 ; 1872, £256,257,347 ; and 1873, £255,073,336. The real difference between 1872 and 1873 is much greater than it appears to be, owing to the large increase in the value of iron, coal, &c. The total import of bullion and specie (gold and silver) in December was £3,705,086, against £1,487,272 in the corresponding month of 1872, and £2,656,938 in 1871.
