II will thus be seen that, far the aggregates
are concerned, there is not much variation from
last year. Both imports and exports are slightly
short of those of September, 1859. 1t must be
noticed, however, that the exports Of pro-
duce this year were s4l3O,000 heavier than
those of the corresponding month last year,
while the exports Of specie and bullion were ST.
sos, 600 less. The difference is due to the large
shipments Of breadstuffs to Europe, which have
supplied importers with exchange and checked the
sutward flow Of specie.
At this date last year the Italian war had come
10 an end, and the treaty of Zurich was on the
peint of being signed. The relations between the
great Powers were generally harmonious, though
the San Juan affair formed the subject of rather
bitter articles in the British and American journals.
Trade was recovering from the shock impaired to
it by the war, and merchants in England and
France were in high spirits. Consols were per
cent higher than they are at present; money was
abundant in London at q per cent; both cotton and
breadstuffs we're dull with declining tendency.
Here money was worth 6l Z per cent, with
pretty lively demand. Foreign bills were quoted
1t ll0l for sterling and 5.l3, but the demand was
not brisk, the heavy gold export Of the month Of
Business was pretty active, though the harvest in
the West did not fulfil public expectation. Stocks
were generally lower than they are at present.

month Of the fiscal year ls6o-6l, We subjon our

with reduced specie export the export Of pro-
