Our Exports Of Gold,

Since the LIST of January last we have
shipped from this port alone about sixty -four
millions of specie and bullion against about
forty millions for the same period last year,
and this has been one cause of the recent rise
In gold to $50. Another cause lies in the con-
tinued prepOnderance of our foreign imports
over our exports. Thus the foreign imports at
this port for the week ending ON the 2lst inst.
were valued at SO, 644, 200 in gold, while the
exports of domestic produce were valued at
only $2,772,663 in currency. Here is the
secret Of our gold exports, Notwithstanding
that we have exported our national securities
to such an extent during the last few years
that it is estimated seven hundred mil
lions of them are. held in Europe at the
present time. The stock OF gold in
the Treasury and the country at large
ia greatly reduced in consequence OF this
outward flow of the precious metals to liqui-
date the Indebtedness resulting from our ma
tional extravaganza, and higher premium is
therefore to be looked for on commercial
grounds. But apart from these the agitation
on the financial question which will attend the
Presidential canvass can hardly fail to mate
rally advance the price of gold, as the
speeches Of leading politicians Of both parties
appear equally likely to create distrust of the
public credit and operate in the direction we
have indicated.
