Of 49, 10000 gold last saturday, and shipments this
week will probably reach S4,0o0,00O, though foreign
exchange has recently weakened, and the amount
shipped may be reduced. The exports OF specie
have not thus far affected stocks, but on the contrary
reports that the Silver bill will not pass the House

THOSE MISSING CUSTOM HOUSE RECORDS.

The Custom House officials say that no attempt has
oeen made to prosecute William Cntaiar for the
alleged theft OF bills OF lading from the Custom House.
10 conceal alterations which It IS charged had been
made in them. 1t Is said that the evidence Of the
theft Is entirely circumstantal and based on the belief
that no one else could have had any motive for taking
the bills OF lading. Cuajnr had right to examine the
invoices and could easily take the bills OF lading from
the papers to which they were attached The
tlorities are content to prosecute Cutajar other
charges. since the discovery OF the fact that the
documents had been taken, last winter. close
watch has been kept and the bills OF adng have been
carefully compared with the invoices from the consul
Al the port whence the goods came. Since then no
alterations and thcfts Of bills OF lading have been
discovered.
