The export of over two millions and quarter
of specie on Wednesday in the Arabia, followed
as it is likely to be by an export of n million on
Saturday, is an event of too much Importance to
passing without something more than mere men
ton. The total receipts of gold from California
for the incomplete fiscal year 1886 So fall short
of those OF the corresponding portion of the fis
cal year 1855 So by nearly four millions of dol
lars, while the total shipments of gold from this
port for the same period exceed the shipments
during the corresponding period in 1855 Sc by
over twenty millions of dollars. Thus the elev-
en- months show difference against US, as com
pared with the eleven months of 1855 So, equal
to twenty four millions of dollars. Assuming
that the shipments during the present month will
continue on the present scale, we shall have sent
abroad 10 Europe during the fiscal year 1855 81
no lessa sum than $4S 900 600 in gold from this
port alone fully ten to twelve millions more than
than the total receipt from California.
That this steady drain ofspecie is due to the over
| importation OF the dry goods men and dealers in
| luxuries, Is obvious. The importatons this fis-
cal year Mt this port are twenty five millions of
dollars in excess of those last year. while the ex
ports show only trifling inc ease some four
millions of dollars The fact is, last year. every
body expected a erisis.and was cautious; this year
