This table shows where the changes have been. The
Bank of the State exhibits the greatest increase in the
leading departments particularly in that of specie and
circulation.
There has been great deal said about the drain Of
specie from the Southern and Western banks for ex
port, and portion of the shipments has no doubt
been drawn from them, but It has dim nshed their
supply but the contrary the returns recently made
show an increase in the amount on hand compared
with that of last year. 1t could hardly have been
otherwise and the fears entertained from an exporta
ton Of few million of dollars, have been entirely
groundess The amount fspece received from foreign
countries within the past eighteen months, on
camille account and by immigrants, cannot have been
much less than hirty-fre millions of dollars and the
amount exported within the same period has been
about ten millions of dollars leaving balance in our
favor of renfytce millions of dollars, which has been
SO much Of an addition to our previous supply. The
banks in all sections Of the country have secured n
part Of this as exhibited by returns the gov
eminent has received portion and the people have
in their possession the balance.
A country which can secure such an accession TO
Its wealth in such short space of time cannot be In
avery dangerous or alarming condition. AS an Offset
TO this may be stated that staple exports have
deprecated in value twice the sum; that, had thi
amount OF bullion remained abroad, IL would have
given us better markets and higher prices for our pro-
ducts; but IL does not follow that such would have
been the result, and If it had BEEN It Is by no
means certain that should in reality have b,en
more benefited by It, In former years when our ex-
ports have comma nded much higher prices in foreign
markets, when foreign trade altogether was anna
rently much more prosperous than has been during
the past year, We were not the recipients of such
large amount of specie and the balance of trade was
more equaized Our imports correspond more closely
with the value Of exports IL low prices rue for
our products abroad less Of foreign pro-
ducts; and reduced prices for exports tend more
to restriction Of Injuries than to the draining of
our pockets 1t is said that the value any article de-
