COMMERCIAL IrESs.-The N. Y. Evening Post,
Of Monday, says that the ''small entries of i'm.
ported goods for consumption during all last
week, have reduced the weekly receipts of Gus
tom duties considerably. This, working in uni
son with the active exports of cotton, reducing
the rates Of foreign exchange below the point at
which gold can be exported, in the ordinary
way at profit, keeps the money market easy,
though the activity of business is such as to
sustain an active and profitable demand for
money. The banks, while not losing their de-
posits, do not think of contracting, and the
supply of money is therefore equal to all
healthy demand. Mere speculative objects
do not find much countenance, and the deal
ings in che securities of undeveloped underta-
kings are very few.
"The imports of merchandise at this port
last week were $3,s5s,557, and since the first
of January S52,9s7, Os9. The exports were 81, ;
sS0,354 for the week, and $40, 244,6 l9 since the

in the State, and had long enjoyed such a de-
gree of prosperity as seldom tails to the lot Of
