York City.
The prospect of a renewal Of specie i'm
portations from Europe is engaging atten-
ton. We have already received 100000
900 in gold this year from Europe, IN part
paynient Of the breadstuffs which we have
supplied to that continent. It seems that
the wants Of the Europeans are compelling
tbem to purchase more heavily than ever,
and hence exchange is rapidly falling to
point which win again leave handsome
profit on imports Of gold. The gradual
effect of the war on the trade between this
country and Europe is well described in a
recent financial circular Issued by a New
York banking house. Our importations
will show decline this year of $1S0,000,
O00-the articles ceasing to be imported
consisting mainly Of manufactured cottons,
woolens, silks, linens, hardware, jewelry
and objects ofart and luxury, the products
OF British and French industry. The war
thus costs England and France a market
for $180,000,O00 worth per annun Of the
products Of their industry, and saves us an
unnecessary expenditure Of a like sum.
On the other hand, our exports-omitting
cotton from view for the present show
very large increase over former years,
they being articles Of absolute necessity,
with which Europe cannot dispense. The
United States are, in fact, so independent
and self-snlicing country that they can
at moments notice reduce their consump-
ton Of foreign goods one half without IN
convenience; whereas, Europe cannot re-
duce her inponatons from this country
without inficting direct injury on her
people. IF this war lasts two or three
wears it viii make New York the center of
the commercial world and London a mere
outpost. As long as the war lasts our tar
if and the temper OF our people will pre-
vent the consumption OF foreign goods; and
thus, by the time the war ends, our manu-
facturers viii not only be as well prepared
to supply our home market as British man
ufacturors are to supply theirs, but they
will be ready to compete successfully with
Great Britain in the South American and
Asiatic markets. Thus we shall thence
forth import nothing from abroad except
articles which cannot be produced here,
such as ten, coffee, sugar, wines, DC. while
Europe will still BE compelled to purchase
here, as the cheapest market, enough corn,
wheat, provisions, cotton and tobacco to
leave handsome annual balance in our
favor. This balance will have to be paid
in gold. 1t may happen once or twice in
a generation that general crop failure
here, occurring simultaneously with boun-
toas crop in Europe, may reverse The or
binary course Of trade, and compel US to
pay for our tea, coffee, sugar and hides
with gold. But the general rule viii be
that England, after paying for all the tea,
sugar, coffee, hides, &c, which we consume
by bills on New York, will still have to
send us annually some forty to fifty mil
lions in specie to pay for the food, and tie
cotton, and the tobacco, which she cannot
help taking from us. The change has be-
gun already; the signs of the future may
be dscerned by all who study the history
of the past.
