EXCHANGE.

Since the end of June exchange has varied from one-half of 1 per cent. to 5 per cent.; at this date it is firm at 4 per cent.

EMIGRATION.

During the year 1870 there arrived at the ports of Buenos Ayres and Rosario, of the Argentine Republic, 41,058 emigrants. Of these, 58 per cent. were Italians; 14 per cent. were Spaniards; 10 per cent. were French; 2 per cent. were English; 5 per cent. were Swiss; 1 per cent. were Germans; 10 per cent. were various nationalities.

THE YELLOW FEVER.

A fearful epidemic has prevailed during the past year, commencing in January, attaining its height during the first days of April, and not disappearing until late in June. The police authorities report the deaths at about 15,000, but I am morally certain that there were not less than 24,000, and this out of a population of 180,000. Business was for a long time entirely paralyzed. All commercial houses and offices, except those necessary to administer police law, and to enter and clear vessels, were closed. Since the epidemic business has revived with remarkable elasticity. A large portion of the inhabitants of the city are removing their residences to suburbs.
