The New York Commercial Advertiser
thinks the easy rates for Exchange on Lon
don postpone the export OF gold coin, for the
present, at least. but regards it as quite prob
able that we shall export this season to July
/, the new product Of the current fiscal year,
although this is liable to be affected by the
difference Of the value of money In London
and New York through the spring and sum
mer months. 1t is safe TO say that whatever
proportion Of this export, whatever 1t may
prove to be, that is drawn out by the Sub
treasury in New York will be replaced In
the Sub-treasury in San Francisco. where
there Is great aDxietey manifested to come
to a legal tender or national bank note re-
deemable currency In exchange for the vast
amount OF gold coin now In very inconvenient
circulation through the San Francisco Bank
Clearing House and in the community. The
N ,retary OF the Treasury will have only to
&ansfer the greenbacks which he may be
called upon to redeem in gold coin this season
to the San Francisco Office, to replenish his
stock of gold coin to the maximum of his
present supply.

LOCAL MOVEMENT.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-03-23

Yesterday the cotton market showed an
advance Of one farthng on Orleans Middlings,
and 3-16 on Uplands, and though the sales
were small In this market, this was owing to
sales, 10000 bales, We're exceptional fact,
no such rapid advance or Saturdays sales
have been noted here during the present year.
The New York market did not respond to
this English advance; but the general opin-
lon seemed to be that New York had dis
counted the Liverpool advance beforehand,
and could not "raise it," The feeling, how
ever. Is strong.

With hammer and drill and jimmy and crank,

And lis vaults he piled with the gold again;
Then came on tIptoe the high-toned men

The hch-toned men they fingered there,
With Jimmy aud drill and hammer and crow,
And they Kept a-walking to and fro,
With prosecuted and Saddened air,
And a mue-team waited beside the wall.

They said. 1--WE aint dom nOthln' AZ all,
