that fact is born IN mind. In OCTOBER lo'''
the exports of merchandise amounted 10

amounted to $s5,6s7,254. and the imports 10

though the movement of the month OF this year
makes a favorable comparison with that OF Oc'opc''

For the ten months-January to October 81
the comparison of four years is still more striking
than for the month of October. The merchandise
exports for the ten months of 1870 were $6o49|o'-
757. and the merchandise imports were SiO3, 532,-
564-excees of exports, $201 443, 1913; the imports
Of specie were 500, 1877 1897, and the exports were
500. 1927. 323-excess of imports, $442l0 ,074which
reduces the net excess of exports for the
ten months of 1879 to $l57 ,233, 10. The details
of the movements for the ten months of 1850, 1881
and 1882 are given in the subiOined table. but the
following deductions from the figures are OF inter-
est For the ten months of 1880 the merchandise
exports exceeded the imports $lO5,46249l, ana
the imports of specie exceeded the ex-
ports S44. 900, SO3; in 1881 merchandise ex-
ports exceeded the imports $3.50 ,oZ2'
and the imports of specie exceeded the
exports S44 702 119 and for the ten months OF
1882 the merchandise imports have exceeded tho
exports S43942 9S7 and the exports of specie
have exceeded the imports 37,S0S,4ls. Stated in
aecounteurrent fashion. the total result of the ten
months business in merchandise and specie of
each of the four years is as follows: 1870. balance
to credit of the country 49, 1850, credit
balance SOL, 371, 6sS; 1881. credit balance
$50 4O9. SOB; So. debit balance SIS, 134,5G9.

Now, it seems that after having imported
S44792.119 more specie and bullion than was ex-
ported in the ten months of 1881, there remained
seeming credit balance of trade to the amount OF
$50 400 sO3; yet from October 81, 1881, to NOvem-
Der J. 1892 the total amount of specie imports has
been only about 81 100000 and in the same tine
the exports of specie have amounted TO about
Sos 900, O0O-excess of exports over i'm
ports for twelve months, $4O,OOOOOO.
If such results followed credit
balance of $S5, 409S 03, although all things are
possible. there is hardly any event less likely to
occur than an early importation of gold to follow
o debit balance Of Sc, l34,5G9, unless it is gold
which is borrowed, and which will increase our
debt instead of coming to liquidate balance in our
favor
Although the foreign movements of merchandise
OF New-York last week were smaller than for the
same week last year, the imports exceeded the ex-
ports 1864 sos, against an excess of imports
of SIO6.34G for the week of 1851 diff
ference against the port of $40, $50.
The value of the merchandise imported
last week is $6,92l ,4S9, or $72, l54 less than
for the week of 1891 the value of the merchandise

the week of 1881. For the forty weeks since

spending time in 1881 while the value of the NOR
ohandise exported is 35,3304f5 less; difference

cee6 the imports by the sum of $37944,564-a
change of $81, 667,951 to the credit of the port,
yet lacking So. 52s. 902 of equaing the increased
