IMPORTS AND EXPoRTs.-The recent Report
of the Secretary of the Treasury discloses some
curious facts relative to our imports and ex-
ports. TIE difference in favor of the latter Is
Unprecedented, and, we presume, far greater
than any one anticipated, and certainly is cause
of congratulation, provided that tits great dit
ference does not arise from our produce bringing
much less abroad than its value at homei and
this, we know, was not the fact during the past
| year.
