falling OF last month in the imports Of foreign
goods and the exports OF specie, the current fiscal
year IL still far ahead Of the last two fiscal years In
these items. In the fall OF last year the imports
were excessive, and importers will need TO pur-
sue policy of curtailment for some time to come,

heavy shipments Of coin to Europe; this movement
involves no danger II trade be kept within proper
limits; but Il the imports increase as they did last

of Baltimore tomorrow viii be rather larger than
anticipated, owing to delay In the departure Of
the former steamer, together with slight con-
cession in the price Of short sight sterling bills.

sl,775 900. In money there IL no change TO note,
