EXPORTS.

1t is agreeable to report balance in our favor,
though 1t be local and confined only to thus port
because the trade OF New York s the keynote of the
country. The export trade Of the port shows an
outflow OF produce and merchandise this week
OF eb,396,442 against $3,7o2,647 for the cor
responding wee6 OF 1872, and $4,l62, lao in
iS71. The exports Of produce and merchandise
from the port from January / to date are
e1l6, 07s against Ss54o. 1856 1872 and $103,
p2S,679 In 1871. The moment that we OF the United
States learn to make our means subservicnt TO
ends; to depend upon home rather than upon for
eign products; to enjoy domestic comforts more
shan imported luxuries; to cut down our bills for
extravagant nonsense, and cast adriit from the
social c0nventionalties that make moral and social
slaves Of our men and women-just then. and not
until then, shall we begin to live like free and
Independent nation; to accumulate funds to pay
our public debt with ease reduce prices return to
specie payments and enter upon the enjoyment of
future possibilities that have limit In the sue
cesSful career Of great nation.

SOUTHERN SECURITIES.
business in Southern bonds remains inactive.
fhe condition OF the Southern States the action OF
the state Legislatures and the doubt that has been
thrown around these several securities by Courts
and public reports have produced an unhappy nfiu-
ence, 30 that while there may be many instances
in which prudent investment would produce posi-
tive results the plight which surrounds one or two
classes OF securities attaches to all. and general
distrust has ensued. Hence 1t Is that the state

little change from the same old story OF
