Corrected returns Of the specie movement for
the year up to July 81 show that 1t Is very favor
able to resumption Of specie payments. the
net exports OF specie for the first seven months
OF the year have been only si,3s9.223. although
lin the came time last year they were s2b 600.
For the rest OF the year the prospects are that,
owing To heavy crop exports. the imports OF
specie will be heavily In excess OF the exports.
There are rrrnors In New York OF impending
important arrests In the sugar trade. Mean
while. as q matter OF precaution, the collector
has put stop to the practice Of allowing car
goes oil sugar on arrival to be- sent direct to the
rehneTies without previous examination. In
the future therefore, no cargoes will be deliv-
cred to the consignee until all the entries be
completely liauidated. This, it Is believed will
check frauds In the future.
