Foreign Trade of the United States.
The returns Of the foreign commerce Of
the United States for the month OF Janu-
AIRY show a very favorable balance Of
trade; the imports, inclusive Of specie,
being $j9,O4,52j and the exports, specie
included, being So, 7s9, 403. The imports
Of specie were =, 2O4, Al, and the exports,
8, 55l, $50; which are 50 nearly even as to
make the balance of trade consist almost
entirely Of merchandise, and cause the
excess Of exports to stand above so, 000,-
90, against about Ss,0OO,OO0 for the same
month last year. Noting these figures
the New York Commercial Bulletin re-
marks:
"This favorable showing is due entirely
10 the increase in exports during the
month, as the imports of merchandise
were $50. SAC, 0S4, against $50, $50, 224 in JAN
uary last year; while the exports Of mer
chandise were 50, 237 ,514, as compared
with $64, 92l.051 in 1852. The merchan-
disc imported in January was $12, 72S,5l2
less than in December, and a little less
than in November, but was considerably
in excess Of that imported in any other of
the preceding twelve months The ill.,
crease IN the exports Is, OF course, en-
cOuraging; but il should be borne in
mind that the movement is in comparison
with that Of a short crop year, while the
imports, though decreasing in January,
are likely, from indications in February
dry goods imports at New York, to again
increase.
I'm comparing the imports and exports
Of merchandise since the beginning Of the
fiscal year, the balance in favor Of eX-
ports during the past seven months was
81, 972, sg9, against $40, 30, $40 for the same
period of the previous year; but, includ-
ing specie, of which the imports We're
comparatively large the year before, the
excess of exports were S1S, 39j, $50, against
S47, 403, 1886 for the previous period. The
imports of merchandise for the past seven
months were 1927, SeJ. 195, compared with
S3g9, sos, 002 in the former year-an in
crease Of about $2S,OO0,OOO. The exports
Of merchandise were $j0J, SIS, 694, against
$i73, IL, 5l2-an increase Of near $33, 000,-

The Chicago Tribune remarks: IF the
South wants Northern labor to help de-
yelOp its soil and increase production,
and if it wants Northern capital to build
up its wasted industries and expand them,
all that it has to do is to come half way
and invite them, and sink its prejudices,
its Ostracism, its silly assumptions Of SUI
periOrity, and give Northern men and
Northern money a fair chance. If they
don't want to help, or are too lazy to help,
let them stand one side and see what
Northern skill and pluck can do for them.
The only thing that stands in the way of
Southern progress is Southern prejudice.
So long as that exists there is no induce
ment for Northern capitalists to make in
Vestments, or for Northern labor to COM
mence a Southwark march,
\ great deal of the foregoing counsel is
gratuitOus. Moreover, if the Tribune and
journals like it would quit framing indict-
ments against the South based on preju-
dice there might be a greater influx of
Northern men into this section. Northern
capitalists have level heads, and pay little
attention to newspaper yapOrings. They
are finding out the value of the SOuth's
resources, and are investing here with
singular alacrity.
