overlooked by those who are keeping the run Of the

this wav quite hsf IS much have exported since
the let Of January. This pece is generally taken
immediately into the interior. whence in the rcgu
lar course Of trade IL makes ts way 10 the seaboard
again The specie now being received from the West
consists mostly Of Mexican dollars and Dutch German
and French gold and silver and doubtless taken
West by the emigrants Of last season. The Custom.
House records are not test Of the movements OF
specie and il would be point worthy the attention OF
the Secretary of the Treasury 10 devise method o. en-
forcing registry Of the actual imports and exports
These statistics are Of immense value TO tho commercial
man. and Government should extend facilities for col
sctng them The last is case in point OF the
loose manner in which this matter is attended TO- The
Custom. House books show that the amount exported
BIZ that steamer was S3iS6i5 while the actual amount
wa. s5OaOOO We stated time since that the
steamer At Boston brought 100000 which was de
med and the entry the Custom House Of Sl30OOwe'
adducea as proof Of the denial We knew that what wo
then stated was correct and believe that the last
three steamers have brought nearly S25OO0O in coin
very little Of which entered AZ the Custom House
IN addition to this of Liverpool packet ships Ina
within a fortnight brought 100000 in CON- belonging
90 the emsrants which arrived by her The aggregate
received in this way large and should be considered
making estimates Of the amount we ere losing

from this port during the past week as per Custom
House books and for the year 1918
