BRITISH TRADE RETURNS.
The "Tribune's" London correspondent states that the British trade returns for October show a still further decline in the volume of the nation's commerce. There Is ii drop of £750.000 in exports as compared with October last year, while the ten months of the year give a diminution of nearly ten milion pounds. Ine fall m last month is due mainly to the diminished value of coal exported. In metals, machinery and newspapers there is considerable decrease, which is balanced by a great increase in the value of textile exports. Imports show a marked reduction of no less than four million pounds. The general impression produced by these figures is that trade, is distinctly on the down grade.
