THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1861.

1856 and It;:.;. Just in the same way, a decrease
in our exports in the [fecund six months of the
present year may be accompanied by an accumu-
lation of Ixilli in, in payment for the large exports
made in 1860, and in the first six months of 1861.

There is another consideration which has a good
effect upon the money market at present, and that
is the sldentlid condition in which the grain crops in
England have been gathered iu. It will be recol-
loct s! that just before harvest time in 1800, that
is to say before ono of the worst harvests on re-
cord, the 7':sits published a remarkable leader, in
which, utterly deriding those whom it called this
croakers, it comforted all hearts for the moment
with the emphatic assurance, from its own ex-
clusive sources of information, that the harvest
would be a very good one. This year, but under
very different circumstances, our contemporary
has delivered himself in a similar vein. Cautious
people do not forget last year's grievous slip, and,
fond as they are of forming their own conclusions
from the sources of information which are open to
every one, are distrustful of accepting im-
plicitly a journalist's hasty impressions
upon so important and difficult a subject. The
conviction of people of calm judgment is that the
harvest thin year, taking Scotland and Ireland into
the account, has been overrated as regards
ymon-
d I;lit as regardieralii!i, it would appear that
the advantage over last year is immense. Tho
point iu favour of the money market is that this
marked superiority in quality will enable us to
fall at once upon the consumption of this year's
crops, irrespective of foreign supplies, and that the
payment for such extra quantity of grain as we
may require will be driven off to a late period,
perhaps until next year, when our stocks may
get low. Tho straitened position of the agri-
cultural interest will operate in the same direc-
tion, for many farmers, after struggling through
the last bad year, will be obliged to sell this
year's produce early, and thus prices in the corn
markets %sill be kept down, and imports from
abroad discouraged. At a later period, as already
observed, we may have to import more, and some
of the gold which we are now receiving may be
withdrawn in payment, but for the prevent there
is a probability of a relieved money market.
