1t WAS with the month of October 1881, that the
tide OF balances on the merchandise movements
com rnenced to make unfavorabe comparisons with
the balances of the preceding and 1t was with
October 1882. that the comparison with the months
of preceding years began TO show fayorably for the
country. Therefore a comparison OF the results Of
nine months, October ] to June 80 for three years
IS specially valuable. The result of the merchandise
movement for the nine months ended June 30,

Of that ended June 80. 1882 excess Of s.. 730.-
765. and of that eided June 30 1888. an excess of
1928 469.64i. For the first four months, October
l. to January 81. of the last period. the excess of
exports was 500. 1888 1914, or a monthly average of
500 23s. 3ls for the last five months the excess
is 32,5I625i or monthly average
of only $685. 51. While this
showing for tue last five months makes
favorable comparison with that of the same period
OF 1881 when the balance in favor of the country
was $50, Gss. 1872. or n monthly average Of 3d.

IL interesting TO note that In the three months
July 1 to September 30-following the results
shown above for the different periods ended Juno
30 1881 and 1852, the specie movements were as
follows: 1851 Imports over exports, 81, CLOSES
1882. exports IN excess Of imports, 81, 1907.
Tho resulting balance of $104 O95 on the bust
ness of last year is hardly than sufficient to
cover the freight money which accrued to foreign
ships aud which forms part OF the statistics.
There also Is an unknown sum OF accrning interest
and dividends on good American securities OF var-
GUS kinds which held abroad. that Is to he added
10 or subtrscted from the apparent balances against

the Custom House returns OF the foreign move

shows balance which compares favorably with
the week of 1882, but unfavorably with that OF
1891. The imports exceeded the exports only
