SUNDAY. March 1s-P
The Custom House returns of the foreign move
ments of merchandise at New-York last week make
comparisons with the movements for the week OF
1897 that are favorable to this port and with the
week of 1881 that are only 1921, 174 against the
port But the report fails to include the imports
by several steamers arrived on Friday and yester-
day; even the gold brought by the Adratic and the
Elbe are not included in the report of specie
imports. With that explanation, the i'm
ports of merchandise for the week
were valued at $S,945, 1874, which is $3.50 1854
less than the imports for tho week of 1882 and
$685. less than for the week of 1881 the ex-
ports last week were valued at $7,5O7419, and
that sum Is 81, 327,319 greater than the exports
for the week Of 1882, and is $Sl79SO less than for
the week of 1881. For the eleven weeks of each
OF the three years, the merchandise imports have
exceeded the exports as follows: 1881, $11 .239-
o72; 1882, Y41.52O,5f2; 1888, S29,016,6SS. But
including the specie movements exclusive of about
$2,OOO,O00 arrived on Friday and Saturday., the
balance against the port for the eleven weeks of
TINS year (S27O70, $40 Is only So, 657, $40 smaller
than for the same weeks of 1892 and is 81 O26272
greater than for the same period of 1881.

BY the operations at and through the Sub
Treasury for the week ended Friday night, the city
banks lost 81. J36277 in cash. 2,OSl. Sj8 coin
and S4j4,4f9 currency; but that loss was SO dis
tributed rs to figure in the bank averages as loss
of only about 81 100000. The movements to and
from tho interior for the same time Melted
the banks loss of over S2,200.000 but the diff
ference between the average declines loans and in
specie and legal tenders (f932l 900, ana the re-
ported decrease in deposits 49, 70J 600 indicating
that the principal part Of the receipts from the in
terror Cpl,O0O.OO0j was in National Bank notes;
so the net loss of $2,2O0O0O probably averages in
the statement loss of about 81 400, 900, which
with the average loss through the Sub Treasury
accounts for 81 500 900 of the reported decline of
pbsO3,IOO IN tho total reserves, by yesterdays
bank statement; the remainder of the decline is
accounted for by the shortage" IN cash from
the preceding statement. These deductions
Indicate that the amount of specie and legal ten |
iers actually held ut the close of business Oh Friday
night was about 81, 100000 less than the sum re-
ported for the averages of the week The same rule

ult of the weeks movement, as shown by the state
