It will evidently be safe to reckon on | | an average shipment of $60,000,000 in specie in | future years. ‘ Passing to the details of this trade, we find that | we have sent abroad the following amounts of ar- | ticles of domestic produce during the past four | years: Products of Sea Fores Vegetal Cotton d | Join. k Other items. Total 279 835,508,586 | It will thus be seen that the great excess over | previous years in our exports of domestic produce | has been chiefly in cotton and in specie. Our cotton | export has risen from $128,382,351 in 1955-6, to | | $161,494,925 in 1858-9, an increase of something | like twenty-three per cent. This year the export | will be still greater—probably over $180,000,000. | The demand for cotton goods increases with the spread of civilization throughout the globe, aud far faster than the production of the staple, even with | every advantage of weather, increased supply of labor, &c., kc. Our own exports of manufactures | Of cotton has increased from $6; 7 ia 185. to $8,316,222 in 1858-9; and if we took the same pains to create and develope markets as the English | do, by establishing and sustaining steam communi- | cation with distant countries, the increase would be much more rapid. The increase in our export of | specie has been from $45,700,000 in 1855-6 5 The mines are not, however, producing much more now | than they were three years ago; the increased ex- | ports must therefore be ascribed rather to the | increase in the importation of foreign goods than | to any increase of production. Our export of vegetable food has declined from \¢ 000 in 1855 | $24,046,000 in 1858 This is of course owing to | the short crops of 1858 in this country, and to the elent crops of the same year abroad.

But on the whole, it may well be | questioned whether im future years our exports of | vegetable food will be a large item ia our general | export account. Each year witnesses an increased | consumption of food in this country, and the least { crop failure causes the demand to run ahead of the year cause any general diminution of the harvest Field of corn and wheat, it would be safe to look for flour at $10 aud #12 a barrel. The export of provisions does not seem to in crease. It was ia 1858-9 $15,549,090, against $17, 655,000 in 1855-6. In the latter year, however, it muct be remembered the Crimean war had caused au almormal advance in beef and pork. This year the pork crop, accordiag to all accounts, is below an average; our export will probably foot up as much as former years. ur tobacco export in 1858-9 was unusually large, in consequence of the | high price of the staple; whether the Soutbern t- } baceo growing States are gainers by the increase j of production is &. different question, and one ia- volving problems too obatruse to be discussed here.

When the revulsion overtook this country, impor- tation ceased. Hence, within twelve months, the country was short of all the articles of foreign pro- duce and manufactare which it had been io the habit of consuming. Hence an advance in the Price, and, consequently, an increased importation, which paid handsome profits until it was overdone. We shall again recur to these tables. In the meantime, we may simply remark that the difficul- ty of studying and drawing inferences from these tables is greatly increased by the perversity which seems to have possessed the clerks in the depart- ment, and under whose influence they change the division of articles and the arrangement almost every year. Indeed, there is hardly a point in which the report of 1858-9 can be compared with that o@4855-6, without grave risk of error. The money market was easier to-day, with the discount lower, though there was again demand for money among the brokers at six percent. There appears to be an increased demand for money among the brokers, whish must arise from in- creased purchases of stocks. We hear of sales of first class short acceptances at 6 per cent, } per cent lower than anything heretofore current, and a free business in 4 to 6 months paper at 6 per cent. The prevailing belief in the early organiza- tion of Congress encourages money lenders to ac- cept lower rates. Foreign exchange has been dull to-day. Most of the foreign bankers ask 109 foz their bills on London, but eales of first class bills have been made at 108{ and very good Southern bills, endorsed, have been eold at 1083. A fair business was done to-day and yesterday by a leading house in sight bills at 109}. Francs range from 5.18} to 5.22}. A banking house sold a large amount at 5.20, om a brokerage ; that the current rate may be said to be from 5.20 to 5.214. Bills in the Sonthern cities are higher than here. Exchange on New York at New Or- leans continues stagnant at 4a j, far below the point at which specie could flow southward. The New Orleans banks hold specie enongh now to dispense { with remittances from the North, The $1,100,000 of the loan of 1858 was awarded to-day at Washington. Very few leading houses here were bidders. Mr. Cobb’s management, as well of this loan as of the Treasury notes and other matters within his dominion, has discouraged our leading financial hauses. We have read to-day a letter from one of the most emi- nent mercantile houses in the city, in which the writer says that no possible consideration would in- duce their house to bid for a government loan, or to do avy business of any kind with the United States government so long as Mr. Cobb is at the head of the Treasury Department; for he and his part” ners feel satisfied that there is no safety fora pra dent business man ,in negotiating with a govera- ment whose agents trick the public and repudiate Rittenhouse & Co. affair, and the unexpected over- | issue of Treasury notes. { Stocks were better today, and there was gene- | ris advanced one per cent, closing 803 bid.
