On the other hand, the capacity Of the country
TO pay for On increased consumption Of
foreign goods is undoubted. Cotton alone
will yield from $35,000,000 10 $l5y 900 900
of exchange more this year than it did
last. The export Of domestic produce from this
port alone is, as we stated above, nearly thirty
per cent in excess Of that Of last year; the excess
at the South will be still greater How the specie
export for the fiscal year will compare with that
Of the year 1859 remains predetermined. For the
nine months 1859 co. it is about SIS 800 900 ahead
but the movement Of coin to Europe in the first
quarter of 1859 was very sluggish, and remarka'
bly, active in the last quarter. In April. May and
June, 1882 we shipped, from New York alone,
over s25 100000 Of gold and silver to Europe 1t
is not likely that this year any such export
viii take place. Exchange must rise fully one per
cent before it can become an object to the foreign
bankers to draw against bullion. However the
export Of this staple for the year may compare
with last it is satisfactory to know that the produc
ton of bullion is steadily increasing. Almost every
shipment from California, since the commence
ment Of the fiscal year, has been in excess Of the
shipment at the corresponding date of the previ.
Gus year the returns for nine months show an In
crease Of twenty per cent in the receipts of gold
at New York. II the Washoe mines yield anything
like what is promised, this will contribute to swell
our specie resources.
To-day's return from the banks compares Is fol-
lows with that of last week.
