The London Economist, after giving figures
showing decrease Of import of Breadstuffs from
United States and an increased export OF Manu-
featured Goods to The United States, has the an
nexed remarks;
Here, then, We have the most undeniable proofs
OF two great leading facts decrease OF imports
and an increase OF exports during the last six
months quite sufficient of themselves TO account for
the balance Of trade with the United States in favor
of this country and the oDsequent rise IN the rate
of exchange, without necessarily connecting them
with any change in the value Of gold. The balance of
trade in our favor thus brought: about had at first
the effect Of causing the very extensive transfer
Of IT, s. stocks to this country in the present year,
and now its continued action leads 10 an imp)rta-
ton of gold lt is, however no, an unmpOrtant
fact in connection with the influx Of gold which is
likely TO take place into this country from the Uni.
ted States, that the recent large impoftatons OF
that metal from California will prevent any drain
which may take place to correct the exchanges
being veniently felt in the United Sratss. Ii
is also necessary 10 obs rye that soma portion Of
our increased exports to the United States has
arisen from the demand for shpments TO California;
and therefore, that the transmission Of gold from the
United States TO this country to that extent is only
an indirect exchange oiour manufactures consumed
in California for the gold produced there. For
material Inconvenience being experienced 10 the
United States from the present, TO them unfavors-
bic state Of the exchanges With this country. Nor
DO We think that with all the facts before Us, are
we entitled TO consider the bieh state of the ex.
chances from the Western Hemis phere as any eyi.
derce Of a diminishing relative value Of gold.
