SUNDAY, Oct. IL. 1862.
The feature OF the foreign trade of the week
which ended yesterday is the increased export of
gold. We shipped over two and quarter millions
Of gold and silver to Europe last week-consdcr-
ably moro than has been sent abroad in single
week for couple Of months past The increase
in the outward movement of gold has of course
arisen from demand for bills which the export
movement was unable to supply. 1t would seem
unlikely that this demand can prove lasting
Our aggregate exports last week foot up over five
millions, while our aggregate imports only amount
70 81 ,s67 900; so that, even allowing for thirty
per cent erroneous valuation Of imports-they are
invoiced at foreign ports on a specie currency
basis-we must still have swelled the general trade
balance In our favor, which, at last reckoning wus
about twelve and half millions, to fifteen millions
of dollars for the commerce Of the calendar year
TO date. The entries Of foreign merchandise were
however, very light last week, in comparison with
previous weeks, and there is reason to expect a
marked increase before long All classes Of dry
goods-silks, wooens, cottons, linens, laces, &c.
are selling at prices which tempt the importer
to order goods freely from abroad. Nor
is there any dimnuton in the consump-
ton Of groceries and general merchandise
though the price is SO much higher than II used

Our main exports continue to be gold and bread
stuffs The prospect of steady and active de-
mand for corn and wheat in Europe continues fair,
and we shall doubtless furnish cargoes for all the
ships which seek freight at Northern ports. There
is very little change in the prospect with regard
to cotton. Railroads communicating with the
Northwest will probably be kept busy moving
cotton throughout the autumn and winter; but the
aggregate amount thus brought to market will be
too small to figure respectfully in our export tables.
Nothing but the complete destruction Of the rebel
armies in the Southwest, and the thorough resto-
ration OF the national authority throughout the
valley Of the Mississippi, will restore cotton to its
old station among our staple exports.
