"The export of gold by the steamers to-day will
amount TO SIX millions of dollars; making for the
week. including the sum sent overland TO Boston TO
shipment by the China last wednesday, 81 600 000
Since the beginning of May the aggregate export
is twenty two millions, which, 7 assuming that
the whole has been supp led out of the Treasury
OF the United States, to be deducted from the
balances held the 1st Nav, would still leave the
through the summer months II required or this
sum, about twenty two millions belong to the no ders
OF Gold Notes or Certihca es OF Depost and thirty
two millions to the Treasury of the United States.
The following figures, we have reason to say, NAV
be relied upon as closely rejecting the Treasury
