These tables as usual are very suggestive. Our
aggregate imports for the past three quarters OF
1861 only seem fall $50, 600 600 behind those OF
the same period Of 1860; but it must be remember
cd that fully S35 ,o0u 700 of foreign specie in
cuded in the import table for this year. The actu
al import of foreign goods and merchandise Tex
elusive of specie) ior the year. to date is nearly
Is possible hundred millions Of dolIars--about
half the importation of the first three quarters of
1889. The export table shows how remarkably
bteady the export movement has been since Jaau-
pry There is not a variation of over n million be-
tween any two months of the year. As our cx-
ports of Southern products declined, those o.
breadstufs increased; that the increase will con.
tinue. the reports from Europe forbid any one to
doubt. The aggregate for the three quarters ex-
ceeds that OF the period of last year by some
1000 OOO and more than double that OF The cor
responding period Of 1852 Tic specie movement
outward is insignlGcan. compared with last year;
the country is growing richer in specie at the rate
Of over ten lons month.
The stock market continues very active, anl the
commission brokers report more orders to buy
than they have had for years. At the same time
the sales which are being made daily by parties
wi.o were buyers ut lower figures prevent the ad-
opened this morning as it left Off yesterday after
noon, rather weak and tame; but as the call pro-
gressed new orders to buy caused an improved
feeling and rroduc d an advance about half the
list Erie preferred rose per cent: Erie common,

Erie, old and preferred, both of which were in
demand at the advance. Ih- foreign demand for
American breaistus is going to test the advar-
tages Of the Long Dock. Parties connec. ed with
the property believe that its business this winter
will astonsh even those who expected the most
from its new terminus. II is not generally known
that the Erie is the OILY road by which grain
in bulk can be taken from lake vessel and trans
ferrcd TO seagong vessel without transaipmcnt,
breaking bulk, o. travelling upon any come ting
line. The fluctuations in the Western railway
shares are the edrct Of speculation. State stocks
were inactive to-day; Missours rose H. Some
Western buyers oi 'Missouris give il as their opn
lon that in couple of years Missouri will DO Il
free State, and better able to pay her debts than
this morning the coupons sold at u
advance. At the close Of the first board
prices rose fraction they fell of afterwards
in the street. Al the second board, prices were
generally lower. There seemed to be q general
desire to realize profits before another upward
surge. The closing quotations were as follows

We understand that letters have been received
from Washington stating that no more appoint
