Since the abolition of the compulsory newspaper stamp no official data exist by which .the real circula- tion of a newspaper can be ascertained. In order, therefore, to show the actual position of the CARDIFF TIMES, the proprietor has submitted his books and vouchers to the eminent Bristol accountants, Messrs. Barnard, Thomas, & Co., whose report is appended. It will be seen that the average circulation of the CAR- DIFF TIMES is now upwards of 6,000 copies weekly- a circulation CONSIDERABLY GREATER THAN THE ENTIRE ISSUE OF THE THREE OTHER COUNTY JOURNALS COM- BINED, and one which is steadily, but continuously in- creasing. The official statement of the accountants will be sufficient to satisfy the public that the CARDIFF TIMES stands pre-eminent in South Wales and Mon- mouthshire as an ADVERTISING MEDIUM. THE ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT FOR 1868. We certify that we have examined the books and ac- counts of the CARDIFF TIMES Newspaper for the year 1868, and find the circulation to have been as follows Total number of copies issued during the six months ending June 30, 1868 117,990 Being an average weekly issue of 4,538 Total number of copies issued during the six months ending Dec. 31, 1868 156,470 Being an average weekly issue of 6,018 Total number of copies issued during 1868 274,460 BARNARD, THOMAS, & CO., Dated, Cardilf, January 7th, 1869.
