Since Jan. L.. $40 ,ssss4s 1e,so4o55 22.4s7, se
The exports of domestic produce continue to keep
up. The principal items in the above are cotton
to Europe, provisions to Great Britain, fog to the
British colonies and the West Indies. and some
hides, tea and sugar to Europe There has been no
clearance for China during the week. or the aggre-
gate would have been heavier. We note to-day
revival in the inquiry for breadstufs for shipments
this will help to swell the aggregate Of next weeks
exports.
The steamship North Star arrived this morning
with 81 .146,2l1 in specie on freight some of the
bars will probably 60 out in the Cunard steamship
tomorrow.
Our money market is without change. The bank
statement of yesterday is freely canvassed and con-
demned on all sides. No one attempts to vindicate
the enormous expansion in progress, and every
person of experience forsees and deplores the mis-.
chievous results which it Is likely to produce.
Several bank managers, when appealed to
personally, state that they had the money
in hand, and would have considered them
selves acting unwisely had they allowed it to lie
idle. 1t is precisely in order to prevent errors of
this kind that the weekly bank statements are pub
lishsd It is in order that the several banks may
they may not all be expanding simultaneously, in
ignorance of their aggregate condition, that the
law obges the cashiers to make weekly state
ments on oath, and the newspapers publish the re-
suit of these statements without charge. However
wise and safe it may be for the Presi.
dent Of the Bank Of America or the Bank of
Commerce to increase his loans, from the simple
point of view Of his own banks condition. it is
clearly unwise and unsafe for him to do 10 when
he knows that all the other banks are expanding,
that the specie basis is inadequate, and that rise
Of u per cent in foreign exchange, and q oonse-
quent shipment Of couple Of millions week,
would create general panic. We ought, by the
way, in justice, to have excepted from the censure
laid upon all the banks yesterday, the Chemical
Bank (Which is always wisely and prudently ad-
ministered), the City and the Phenix-which three
institutions reduced their loans last week-also the
Park Bank, which increased its specie as much as
ts loans and is now the second bank in the city in
specie strength.
Foreign exchange is inactive, but steady. The
market is supplied with bankers sterling bills at
1881 !, and with francs at 5.164 174; there are
besides some good produce and cotton bills in the
market at 1854 for sterling, and 5.1s} for bills
on Paris. The brokers see no indication Of an adj
vance in the market; but it is hardly possible that
this month can pass without higher rates ruling,
especially as the imports Of foreign goods are in
creasng steadily.
The following are the last quotations Of sight ex-
change on New York at the cities mentioned, the
quotations being in all cases for gold:--

Democracy at the Gem

The Breckenridge and Lane men had a
ratification meeting at Columbus-as We
see by the Journal-on last evening, (Fri-
day, 30th). There were music and ban
ners. Among the transparencies most con-
spicuous was-"No sectional candidate.
"Down with Douglas and Johnson"
Gen. Andrews nominated Thos Spar
row as Chairman, aud w. S. V. Prestiss
was chosen Secretary. VIM. A. Neil
made a speech showing how Douglas has
split the party, and showing that the tick
ct headed Breckenridge and Lane is the
regular nomination.
Gen. followed in speech showing us
the hypocrisy of the Douglas faction, and
the Inconsistency of their doctrines.
Col. Motter, as Chairman of Committee
on Resolutions, introduced two, affirming
the nominations and the principles of the
platform ofthe National Democracy.
The meeting was as large as the Doug
las ratification meeting, and was managed
by men who have been wheel horses in the
Democratic party.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1860-07-05

The Steubenville Unson flies at the
mast head the names of breckenridge and
Lane" and douglas and Fitspatrick. y
The editor says that he would allude Ia
both Conventions with great pleasure, but
his Unnecessary absence from the city for the
next ten days precludes him from saying
any thing on the subject.
The Louisville Courier is out for Breck-
enridge and Lane, and predicts that Doug
las will not get Stete.
A weekly paper called the Rail Splitter,
devoted to the election of Lincoln and Ham
lin, has appeared in Chicago. Its editor,
Charles Leib, was an old Democrat. In
his salutatory he SAYS: "If we should in
cur the displeasure of any of the Demo
cracy for telling the truth, and they should
feel agrieved, they can call at our office, at
IS Randolph street, up stairs, where We
will be most happy to give them any sat
isfaction they may desire"
The Hartford Times refuses to decide
i55ri f5r either Douglas or Breckenridge. Its
editor says, "iW,'s prefer TO watch and wait
for day or two"
The Baltimore Republican declares for
Breckenridge with heavy heart.
The Newark, IN. J) Journal is out
boldly for Breckenridge and Lane, as be-
ing the choice of the majority of the New
Jersey Democrats.
The following newspapers in Msssaellu-
sets will support the Breckenridge ticket:
The Boston Post, Lowell Advertiser, New
Bedfoid Times, Greenfield Democrat, Barn
stable Patriot, Salem Advocate, Essex
County Democrat, Lawrence Sentinel, and
Pittsfield Sun.
A Breckenridge paper is to be started in
Milwaukee.
The leading southern friends of Douglas
are rapidly sloughing of, and before long
there will hardly be corporars guard
left. All manner of expedients will be
contrived to bring back the erring brethren,
and some of them are sufficiently anxious
to return 10 lend their aid voluntarily to
this patriotic enterprise. A Democrotic
State Convention is TO be held in North
Carolina, at which the domination of |
Breckinridge and Lane will be approved |
and Mr.. Cingman and the quondam Doug
las men will give in their adhesion. 1t is
very evident that the only contest in the
south is to be between this ticket and that |
of Bell an Everett. 1t is doubtful if the
disaffected Douglas interest holds the bal
ance of power in a single State.
The CO., Journal says: at was i'm
mensely funny on Salurdy night to mark
the rejoicings of the Douglas Democracy
over the nomination of Douglas and Fitz-
patrick and the rejoicings of the Anti
Douglas Democrats over the nomination of
and Lane. The two factions,
both knowing that they had no chance in
he world, tried which should kindle the
biggest bonfres, which should utter the
noisiest shouts, and which should shoot
noisiest cannon. They reminded us of two
bantam cocks trying TO outcrow each other
N the barnyard, or two rival dinner-bells
trying 10 outrng each other at an eating
station upon railroad.

NEW COLONY OF REFoRMERs.-Tbe
San Francisco Times publishes an account
of the voyage of number of reformers
Or Free Lovers from San Francisco in
search of place to colonize in State of
Honduras. They purchased a shooner
and engaged crew. The cclonists pro-
ceeded to Tiger Island, their general rem
devious, in the Gulf of Fonscea. Thence
they made excursions to all the islands in
the neighborhood for the purpose of find
ing place of settlement; bat they did not
suit themselves except on the main land,
at point on the Como river, about sixty
miles in the interior. They had boasted
that their diet would preserve them from
sickness; but before the vessel left on her
return nearly all had been sick, and there
was very great danger of the few who re-
manned being exterlninated by the fever Of
the country.
