The tig tires of the 'treasury Bureau of Statistics for the ten months ending November 1 show that more than SUhukmi.OUO worth of iron and steel and more than hmt,(mmi worth of copper had been exported during the ten months, and these figures, coupled with those relating to the less important manufacturing metals and the articles manufactured from metals, hut. not included ruder these general terms, will bring the total for the year up to fully $?tJO.tMMt.Ohl t.

The rapid growth in the exporiaii- u of metals and those of which metals form a large proportion in value is illustrated by some llgures regarding, our export trade of the decade. .Manufactures of brass, for instance, of wnich the exports in lS'.io amounted to $-1(17,31'!. were in the tiseal year IPtltl $l.St>t?,7l!7.
