EXPORTS.
Cofee-The business In the sticls since ths de
parture OF the last packet has been upon a restricted
scale, due partly to the extreme pretensions OF the
dealers, and partly TO the uncsrtsiniy attending the
course of the Exchange market. The Bank OF Brazil
| having finally resumed specie payment, and offered
to furnish it's bills on London al 24d., made the rate
for first clsss bills, other than Is own, 263i., thus
establishing an advance of 8 per sent upon the ex-
treme rate by the previous packet
The Coffee dealers having laid In their stocks 10
some extent without any regard to this advance In
Exchange have been unwilling to make any con
cession in currency price 10 meet it, and this has
eeveral weeks. The receipts from the country, how
ever, having improved, an accumula,ing stock seems
TO have admonished them that soue concession was
necessary, and sales are therefore reported at 4IS00
for American selections not supposed to have been
very rigid.
The exceptional condition of tbs currency Of this
country Ia exercising, and unless wise counsels pre-.
vail, Will continue to exercise q most baneful infu-
ence upon the trade in our exports. a greatly excess
sive circulating medium maintains q high level OF
currency prices. whilst this currency Ia sustained in
its turn at a false and arbitrary value by the device
of loans in England. Ii ia true that the Bank Of
Bresilis now curtaiing, aud has advanced the rate
o iinterest 10 ii per cent; but there ia such q clainor
raised against this only mode of re- establishing a
healthy condition of currency that it is much TO be
feared the Bank may be forced to abanoon Its &C
ton before it can accomplish its object. Should the
Bank be forced to abandon its present course OF &C.
ton tbere is no hope for a return to a healthy tradern
the produce of this country, until its over-stiAulated
import trade shall exhaust the resource OF loans IN
Englaud, and the specie reserve OF the Bank and cur
rency shall be allowed TO sink to its proper level.
We would therefore urge upon our friends the neces
sity of guarding themselves against an excessive cost
of The products OF fhis country by positive limits.
