FINANCIAL AND CONNER ClAL.

SUNDAY, Oct. 19--6 p. M
The foreign trade of this port for the week
which ended yesterday was very large indeed.
The aggregate imports exceeded four, the aggre.
gate exports-of produce, merchandise and
specie-exceeded six millions. Adding one-third
to the value Of the imports-to represent the diff
ference between currency and specie--we still
find balance in favor of the country, ON the
dealings of the week. equal to three-quarters of
million of dollars. Ii we add to this the stocks
which have been sent abroad, against little OF
none received here for sale, shall find that the
business of the week nets a balance of, perhaps
million in favor Of the United States. At
the same time it is plain that our i'm
ports of foreign goods are going to con.
tinue heavy. Almost every description Of foreign
goods is selling at remunerative prices and the
demand is quite active. Importers arc not gene
rally willing to admit the fact. Most Of them de-
sire 10 have il believed that they losing money
on their importatons, and that they have counter
manded the orders they sent out during the sum.
mer. The public will do well to receive these
intimations cum, grdno. To the best of our infor-
nation the leading importing houses are doing
very well indeed, and have done well with the
goods they have received from abroad Whether
under these circumstances, they are likely to
abandon the business and countermand their
orders, the public can readily Judge. So long
as money is abundant and the large expenditures
government enrich contractors buyers Of foreign
