cotton mills in the borough of Oldham, in 1845, amounted in the aggregate to the same sum as the total value of all the cotton goods exported from the entire kingdom in 1697. In 1845 the number of cotton mills in the borough was at least one hundred. The real or declared value of the cotton goods and yarn exported from the United Kingdom in 1845, was £26,119,331; the value of the entire exports in that year was £60,111,082, so that cottons form fully 43 per cent. of the whole amount of our export trade. The official value of the entire exports in 1845, was £134,599,116. A comparison of the official with the declared value will shew the rise or fall in the prices of goods. The reduction of price in the quantity of goods exported in 1845, as compared with the rates of 1832, represents a sum of £15,000,000. The aggregate value of the cotton goods and yarn exported from the United Kingdom in the nine months ending October 10, 1846, was £19,745,798; woollen goods and yarn, £5,832,311; linen goods and yarn, £2,749,911 ; and silk goods, £672,573.
