This enormous export exceeds the calculations
of every one. Notwithstanding the unexpected
amount Of imports, our exports increase in even
greater proportion. At this rate, the exports Of
produce from New York, exclusive Of cotton, win
amount this year to the unparalleled figure Of
$3.50 100000. It appears, from the reports from
Europe, that manufacturer has discovered q
method by which East Indian jute may be used in
lieu of cotton in many fabrics. Jute has gone up
so per cent in consequence, and cotton has de-
cned. The supply of ute is said to be inexhausti-
BILE.
Money is offered freely at three per cent per
annum on call on gold and at four on stocks. We
hear Of some loans on stocks at three, and should
not be surprised if this became the standard
rate before very long. Neither the banks nor their
depositors know what to do with their money.
Certificates Of indebtedness have advanced to
within a fraction of par. Demand notes continue
to rise, and are very active. They sold this morn
ing at ll5L.
Exchange advanced to-day to 1871 l29a1. in
consequence Of the advance in gold to lls 4.
AT the second board gold sold at lisa and closed
that bid The supply of bills from the exporters
of produce is fully equal TO the demand from the
trade.
The stock market was irregular to-day; but on
the whole, the tone was healthy. The Presidents
proclamation was very freely discussed and opin-
ions, OF course, varied on its merits. Some re-
garded it al an extremely wise and important step,
which would add to the power Of the North, and
which, therefore, ought to cause government
stocks to advance. Others pronounced it un-
fortunate and ill-advised, and predicted a collapse
in the market in consequence. Others, again-and
this class seemed TO include the bulk Of the shrewd
ness and experience OF the street-considered that
it possessed no real importance, at all events at
present, and that the market would continue to
move in obedience to pre-existing influences, just
as if no proclamation had ever been issued. The
frmest stocks on the list day were Toledo and
Galena, both of which advanced "A a % per cent
while the other speculative shares were. at the
first board, either barely steady or q shade lower.
Toledo is said to be attracting the attention Of
spectators from the fact that the company either
has concluded or is about concluding satisfac-
tory arrangement with its bondholders, which
will enable It to pay regular dividends hereafter.
Galena has usually sold within ten per cent of
New York Central, and is now twenty per cent be-
low it. Hence the inquiry for that stock. Govern
ment securities were steady this morning. Bonds
were in rather better request, the issues Of the
Chicago and Northwestern and the Pittsburg and
Fort Wayne being, as usual Of late, the most &C.
tive on the list. The former advanced per cent
After the board the market was at first firm, but
afterward gave way fraction on the more active
shares, without much business. At the second
board there was rally, and everything recovered
from the midday depression. For the present
speculation seems to I'VE deserted the New York
stocks for some Of the Western shares, which at
present appear to promise speedier advance.
At the close the market was firm, the following
