The returns of the above banks for November, COM
nared with August show falling of lin the amount of
specie on hand and increase in the circulation This
change these items comprising the issuing depart
ment of the banks makes very material difference in
the value of the currency and places these institutions
in weaker position than they at the close of the
previous quarter. The principal drain Of specie from
the banks has been by the government in settlement Of
balances due deposit and in payment of duties into
the custom house The demand for specie so far, has
been principally for payments into the independent
treasury which, the 26th Of October, contained S4
SOL SAL and it would be well If the demand was confined
to that quarter but there is every probability Of drain
to some from abroad shipments of specie to large
amount have already been made and the prospects at
present is in favor of more extensive exports
Reports from official sources which have from time
to time published show very large importation of To-
reign merchandise, and comparatively very limited
shipments of domestic products II this state of things
continues for any length Of time, the balance Of
trade in favor on last years business will soon be
wiped out 1t must be borne in mind, that this balance
is being hquidated in three different waysby large i'm
portations by shipments OF specie and by remittances
of exchange This In the face Of limited exports, must
rapidly reduce the amount due this country from
abroad. The manufacturers of Great Britain max
ing desperate efforts to turn the tide of precious metals
towards England from this country and to bring about
such desirable result they filing markets with
their fabrics sales of which forced at
crhces Our markets used for the purpose oforcng
off goods which not marketable elsewhere and for
the purpose of realizing proceeds point import.
ant than any other in the world at this moment When
il became known in England that large supplies bread

shipments of bullion would be required In payment the
financial and manufacturing classes Of Great Britain
to the conclusion that 1t would be for their inter-
eat to encourage importation Of grain &c. from the
United States rather than from any other quarter they
would be able TO get the specie back from this country
much quicker and much easier than from any other They
wisely foresaw that importation Of immense amount
Of specie into this country would open extensive

The shipments yesterday, the LIST instant amounted
Mexican dollars, went to Havre; $l5Oo0 in Spanish
dollars to sumara and $4276, in Ave franc pieces, to
Malaga The bulk of the above shipments to France
At this rate, shall soon lose pretty handsome sum-
In connection with this, the shipments to Mexico will
swell the amount immensely We have now drain Of
specie from sources both Of which take 1t out Of the
country. There is less prospect Of what send to
Mexico coming back than that sent to Europe and 1t
should be looked upon in that light.
In view these and this state of things 1t would
be well for those engaged in commercial pursuits to
pause and ponder 1t would be well for them to ballast
their vessels so that they may be prepared to ride
safely through any storm. There is lsxity in the
present system of doing business which may very
well In highly prosperous times but which in q
will prove exceedingly disastrous. There Is extra
vagance Of expenditure in private life, in this city
which must, unless checked in its incipient stages
lead many rapidly into state Of bankruptcy
The magnificent establishments recently brought into
existence in the upper sections of the city, and the
penses attending such mode Of life, beyond the
of engaged in the uncertainties of trade and
commerce, Men of large fortunes, retired from
msrcia pursuits and consequently beyond tho risks and
dangers Of business having settled cut their
coats according to their CLOTH but where find
the extravsgance of milonsres who daily toll from
morning till night in keeping their heads above water In
the commercial world.
When welook round and the rapid increase in re-
sorts of fashionable circles the building opera houses
in which every family Of any pretensons to arisocracy
think they must have box the construction Of magn
acent dwelling houses and the competition existing
among that class to Guido each other
that the times of 1886 and 1887 about being realised
again Every engaged in trade knows too well that
that but fractional part Of our commercial houses
escape bankruptcy. There is much competition in
trade many losses and such limited profits such an
anxiety to do large business without sufficient regard
for its productveness that fear hundreds and we
might say Thousands who occupy the splendid palaces
in the upper part Of the city who pstronize the OPERA
and give their weekly soirees do at the expense Of
their creditors Evils Of this kind produce their own
remedy artificial state Of society to this extent
not continue in city like this where there perodi-
cal revusions The country at large is highly pros
porous and the masses in better condition;
it is the corrupt spots which the difficulty it
is these foul places which generate much disease in
the mercantile body 1t is only by eradicating them at
once before they become deep rooted that pre-
healthy state Of things
