Tire exports from July l.,, 1857. to June
30ih, 1859. amounted in round numbers TO
$50 0Un,000, whilst for the two proceed
ing years they reached The .um Of $l5l,-
500. When it is considered whit large
proportion of the exports Of Breadstufis
and Provisions is supplied BY the West, it
is no, difficult TO comprehend how such on
immense decrease in 1858 and 1859 ,hould
be followed by The financial difficulties and
the trading stagna,ion which have pre-
vailed there during that time. In ADDITION
to the failure OF The produce supplies, the
West has been in the trying posilon Of
having its money capital Withdrawn as much
as possible by Eastern creditors, who have
been anxious to withdraw from what they
nervousy deemed unsafe investments, I'm
der such circums tahces, the wonder is nct
that the Western States have been so much
depressed, ~qut that they have not been
vastly mole damaged, and that they ars re-
covering SO early and rapidly. 1t is graft.
lying 10 observe . upward tendency in the
receipts Of Breadsiuffs at the Western CEN
tres. The receipts Of Wheat at Chicago
since the first Of August last are nearly
double those for the same period of the
preceding year year; in flOur, also, similar
increase is Observable; whilst the receipts
Of Corn are four times the amount Of those
Of the year 1859. The receipts of Cat
tie and Hogs a, the same point since Janu-
ary lst are also nearly twice ,hs amount Of
those for the same time of last year. These
facts will serve as an indication Of the re-
covery which has been vigorously initiated
in the West, and it is resssuring 10 find
that there is every prospect Of the improve
msnt being well sustained by the present
crops, which are uniformly represented as
covering Q larger average than ever before,
ard having healthy and promising aspect.
We have therefore no further cause for
uneasiness abou, the liabilities of our
Western neighbors; and we may henceforlh
hope for much from them.
The South, il Is thought, has SO far over
stocked herself during her late prosperity
as o make it certain that she will need to
curtail her Fall purchases of the North
This impression can Of course rest on Moth
ing more than vague and Unsupported ru-
morS, which would appear TO have but lit
tie probability to support them in face of
the fact that the purchases Of the South
during he last two or three seasons have
not increased more largely than has the
produce Of that section. and that The Fall
vii close up a year Of Cotton receipts 20
per crui larger Than that OF any previous
pt.i.d. C.r ain il is that this section has

that lacI connoi but largely upon the demand

lew exceptional cases, secohd or third rate
traders may have been induced TO buy be-
yond their means by those of our city job
bers who have endeavored to make up from
the South the deficiency Of their Western
sales; but the proportion Of that rank of
bnysrs is so small that such cases can have
no apprecisble effect upon the aggregate Of
our sales to the Southern States.
The condition Of the Middle and Eastern
States is sufficiently healthy 10 warran, An.
