The GOLD NovExEET.-The statistics Of the
Bank Of England bull ion reseipts and disburse-
ments, which have lately appeared in the Eng
lish papers, are interesting. From the LIST Jan
uary Of this year to 14th October, England re-
ceived no less than $l03, 1000 Of gold from
abroad. During the same period Of time the
specie in the bank vaults declined from nearly
seventy mine millions TO trife over sixty-four.
Thus in the first nine months and half of
1854, England exported something like one hum
dred and twenty millions in gold. Part of this
went to China and the East Indies; but the
bulk to France and Turkey. This was precise
ly what 6nanciers foresaw at the beginning Of
the war. The requirements. of the bellgerents
are monopolizing the resources which have hith-
erto been absorbed in trade. Gold flows out of
the bankers vaults to the borders of the Danube,
the shores Of the Black Sea, and the ports in
the Baltic. As was shown also, we, though un-
concerned in the war, have been affected pre-
cisely in the same ratio as England. Our ex-
ports of specie from this port alone for the ten
months ending 3lst Oct. ult, were $33 1868, IA;
which compares as follows With the exports OF
toImer years -
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1854-11-05

Including Boston, and other ports, our specie
experiencing the past ten months has probably
reached forty millions; which is, we think, fab
as much as we have received from California
and other countries.
1t la clear that contest is pending between
the banks of the world and the governments Of
Europe for the specie. When our banks find
that their supply runs as low as it is at present
they curtail their business, and put the screws
on their customers, in onler to prevent the spe-
Gle going to Europe. It goes neverthe-
less; and the same struggle is renewed in Lon
don. Hitherto the banks have had the wor t
of it, a few months longer drain would kill off
the smaller institut ons--as indeed it has al
ready begun to do-and squeeze the larger
ones terribly. For our part, unless We can stop
our overimportations, Wall street will have .
hard winter
