Note. — The system of preparing the Monthly Trade Accounts of the United 
Kingdom has been altered since the commencement of the year 1871, with the 
view of providing earlier and more accurate information. 
The quantities of articles imported are now taken from the " Importers' 
Entries," instead of from the " Landing Accounts," which are not completed 
until a much later date : the figures given for the Imports in January, 1871, will 
not, therefore, compare with those given for the months of January. 1869 and 
1870 — the former showing the complete Importations of the month, and the latter 
only the Returns of the Landing Accounts so far as received within the month, 
by which method the last seven to ten days' Importations of the month were 
excluded. So great a divergence will not occur in subsequent months. 
The Import Account for the month of December, 1871, will in many cases 
exhibit a considerable deficiency when compared with the mouth of December in
