This table presents the fact that the yearly import
of silver coin has exceeded the export nearly Ss,OO0
0O0 while tIlet Of gold coin has been but S3,O00'OO;
making 81, 100000 yearly, 900, for the SIX
years. in favor of silver. There are, however, other
facts connected with the import of gold, of which
SIR 900 900 have been forced mpst, or not in ac-
cordance With the regular movement of trade. Soon
after the passage of the gold BILL the President ordered
home the proceeds of the French and Neapolitan In
IDENTITIES to the amount of SO 600 geo in gold at the
same time the United States Bank borrowed 81 200 600
in London, which was brought home in gold; and in
the spring of 1885, forced import of So, 900 was
made by some brokers in Wall street, speculation
If these remtances had been forced in god it is
highly probable that half S6,OOs,0Oo would have
reached here in silver, which would have reduced the
gold import to one fourth that Of silver.
The event of war in Europe will increase the va
ius of gold, that being in demand than silver,
because for military purposes is more portable, and
as gold is the standard of England, twill undoubtedly
create scarcity of money; but not so in France, as ST.
veri the standard there. In this country, both gold
and silver are the standards, and il the price of gold RI
ses it must be paid for in goods at low prices and
will be as profitable article of export cotton ut
high prices or any oiher produce. At this moment,we
owe Europe scarcely anything, and TO drain the metals,
claims must be presented against the country. Under
these cumstances, to inport gold into Europe frsm
this cou Rtry large amount OF commodities must be
given in exchsngeand lesser amount received here
after on its export. The OPERATION therefore, cannot
! but be profitable, and e cause for ala..i."

The STATE BANK OF MIssoURT.-This bank
is understood to be indebted to the General Gov
eminent 81 20G, 900. and to have about $500, 600
in specie to meet this demand The president,
Mr. Smith, is now III the Atlantic cities with
one or two millions of the bonds of the State,
for the purpose of making loan by pledging
to enable the institution to relieve itself of its
indebtedness to Government His prospects Of
success are not good, from what is learned from
conversations on the pave. This fact ought to
make the people oil the State pause and reflect.
We see other States raise money on their
boAds at rates nearly equal to those which indi-
viduals have to pay, say per cent. premium.
Indeed, it kas been just announced, that the
State Bank of Illinois, has raised one and a half
millions in New York, to aid her in resump-
ton on the LIST of January. What commentary
on the effort last winter of the Bank OF Missou-
ri to destroy the credit of that bank; we the
one has now high credit, and is enabled to raise
what money it wants, and the other not able to
meet its liabilities, and very much disabled; and
c, rtain1y not in a condition to aid the agricul-
turIst, and commercial classes Of the community.
