The receipts of June have, to some extent, accumulated in bond, but not so large as last year. The operations for the six months show little change in this respect. The contrast is very strong with the same month of 1857.

The total put upon the market for the year is very nearly $2,000,000 less than the amount received:: IMPORTS OF FOREIGN DRY GOODS AT NEW YORK FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30.

A large portion of the increase has been in silks. The import of woolens has, however, been very considerable. The following will show the total receipts for cash duties, at the port of New York, for the different periods named in our import statement :- Total six months... $19,293,521 31 $11,029,112 00 $19,512,181 99 $18.389,679 Total fiscal year.... 42,271,645 74 27,431,667 00 34,899,800 48 37,711,740 The exports from New York to foreign ports for the month of June are very large, larger than for the same month in any preceding year. This has been due to improved exports of food, as well as to the continued shipments of cotton. The exports of specie Lave nevertheless been large, as follows :- EXPORTS FROM NEW YORK TO FOREIGN PORTS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. The total exports from New York to foreign ports, exclusive of specie, since January 1st, are larger than for the first six months of any previous year. On the other hand, the exports of specie are less than for the same period of either 1859 or 1857 :— EXPORTS FROM NEW YORK TO FOREIGN PORTS FOR SIX MONTHS, FROM JANUARY 1. The whole fiscal year gives a larger export of produce then for any year except 1857, but the specie export has been larger than ever before. This is no doubt due, to some extent, to the slackness of business here requiring less money, and to the disturbed state of Europe, which induces greater prudence there :- EXPORTS FROM NEW YORK TO FOREIGN PORTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30.

This balance is of course only apparent since the excess of exports from Southern ports more than counterbalances the excess of imports here. The export of specie still continues, but exchanges are heavy. JOURNAL OF BANKING, CURRENCY, AND FINANCE. REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
