bring Mr. Chase had just advertised for nine
million loan; but United States fves were selling
at 70, and there very little general desire to
invest in government stocks. In financial circles
here the rebels had many jealous friends, and tho
opinion was frequently maintained in bank parlors
and merchants offices that the South would pre-
vail and that Mr.. Lincoln would be driven from
Washington. OF the persons who entertained
these views about year ago large proportion
have since failed. The jobbers who did business
with the South have nearly all disappeared; the
war cut them off from some moneys due to them;
and, in regard to the rest, their debtors have
repudiated, or the rebel government has
confscated them. At this time last year
money was worth about a per cent
on call; but paper was very difficult Of sale; none
but the best names could be disposed of at any
price. Fears were entertained by many that all
our merchants and all our banks would SO down
together. Foreign exchange was quoted at 1857
LOG for bankers bills, at which rates there was
profit on the importation of coin from Europe.
The banks held about $3s ,OOO, 900 in gold, their
loans being about 1924, 900 900 and their deposits
s94,oOO,oOO. The export of gold to Europe con-
tinued very large, and this, more than any other
circumstance saved our trade from the hurtful
consequence VI Tue Wdrs
The above tables show that our exports of pro-
duce continue to decline. They reached their
maximum in November last, and have ever since.
declined steadily. They were reduced to eight
millions last month considerably more than the
average in and before the fiscal year lS59-60.
Our exports of specie, on the other hand,
have gone on steadily increasing ever since
last August, or, we may say, ever since we
ceased importing coin from Europe. They
amounted last month to something over four mil
lion dolars-a very fair average for this season Of
the year, and more than we have sent abroad for
some seasons The steady increase in our imports
of foreign goods, which commenced last August,
and has since been steadily progressing, appears to
have received check. Last month our aggregate
imports were less than those Of the corresponding
months Of 1869 and 1860, and considerably less
than those of the month of March last. Our i'm
portations have been checked by the uncertainty
attending the policy of Congress in regard to the
tariff. AS soon as this is settled it will be safe to
look for increased mportations. The effect Of the
present high duties is seen in the Custom House
returns. In April, 1861, an importation Of nearly
fifteen millions gave only 81 ,643 26l customs reve-
nue. in April last an importation Of $l3,262 1882
gave revenue of $4, ,l49,952.
The following tables will show the course of
trade for the ten months which have elapsed of
the current fisca! wear -

OBITUARY.
The recent untimely death Of FREDERoZ SEYMOUR ESQ.,
member of the Bosto bar OF several years. standing,
Is not unworthy degree OF public notice Without pre-
tending TO tho possession OF those gifts which widely at
tract attention, Mr.. Seymour was clear headei, abls
well Informed business lawyer who failed TO
tsiy reasonable expectations, acd his ability
sisted and supported by the most assduous and CON
scientous industry. His integrity was unbemshed and
incorruptibe those trusted him most who had trusted
him longest. He was moreover q gentleman, in virtue
OF Unborn gracousness and kniliness of Disposition
poured into all his intercourse the amenit
separable from his soul. He leaves behind him youns
wife 10 whom he most tenderly attached and an in
fant boy for whom needs wish nothing better thaS
that he may inherit the virtues OF his father without In
herling the maady which has taken tho latter from Life
in the midst OF his usefulness and happiness.
