| All the calculations which were made at the
outset of the war as to its effect on our com
merce, have proved erroneous. Even tho most
sanguine have been favorably disappointed,
while the croakers on both sides of the Allan
tic have been utterly refuted.
1t was supposed that the natural effect of the
war, and the Morrill, Tariff, would be a very
great reduction in imports The London
Times prophesied that our Tariff would be near
ly prohi5itive one,
Now, what are the facts
! In 1860 the largest sum received at N. Y. for
duties during any month was $4,204, 096 Last
year the largest sum received was only $780,
900. In 1860, the monthly receipts only reach
ed the sum of 81, 000,0 900 for two months during
the year, and in 1861 they twice fell below -
900 900.
During the present year they have, with on
ly two or three exceptions exceeded 81, 100000
reaching in July the large sum of nearly ST.
200, 900, the smallest sum received having been
in January, when the receipts were $3,35l ST.
90.
Since the new Tariff went into operation
these heavy importations, contrary to John
Bull prophesies, have continued. Every steam.
er brings large cargoes and on steamer days it
is not unusual to find that the Custom House
receipts at New York have been from $500 900,
to $500,000 Last Wednesday there were over
1886, 900.
At the present rate of Importation, all the
Demand Treasury Notes il circulation will
have been returned within six months, after
which, of course, all payments will be made in
gold. Even now, in anticipation of these
events, these notes bring II per cent. premi>
UNI.
1t must be remembered that to offset the nat
ura effect of such heavy importations, our ex-
ports of produce are unusually large. These
exports up to this date last season, were very
large. but were less than those this season, the
value of these exports, since Jan. LIST, 1869, be-
ing in excess of those of the same portion of
last year by about SlO,OOO,000
