COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES.

From carefully compiled statistics, il appears
that for the fiscal year commencing July LIST,
1-s7, and ending June 3Oth, 1865, the total spe-
Gle value OF imports into the United Sites du-
Ting thai time, including dutiable and Tree
merchandise and specie, amounted TO sos 3d.
-. This makes an average of S.O,S19,97S per
month. The heaviest amount for any one
month of the fiscal year was March, 1S61, when
our imports ran up TO SS9,l71,9U7; the lowest
amount was for December. 1867, when they
only reached sol, i6S,2I5. The exports IRON the
United States to foreign ports of domestic and
foreign merchandise and specie during the
fiscal year amounted to Si75,773,970 currency
value, or about S57i, 51U,591 specie value. Thus
Is an average of S3l,2lO,050 nearly per month in
specie, the heaviest month being May. 1858 and
the hghtest September, 1e67. The amount of
specie imported during the fiscal year was
Sl3.535,Oe3 the amount exported in the same
time, SSi,699,2ss.
Taking the gold value of total exports and
imports, we find an excess OF the former over
