COURSE OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE BOARD--1866. The past year, although not marked by the extreme fluctuations in the prices of securities which distinguished the last years of the war, has, nevertheless, been one of considerable activity at the Stock Exchange. For some of the railroad shares, especially, the quotations show a wide range. In the record below the course of the market through the year may be readily traced : Statement showing the Lowest and Highest Sale Prices of Shares at the New York Stock Exchange Board in each month.

Abstract statement, as appears from the books and Treasurer's returus in the Treasury Department, on the 1st of November, 1st of December, 1866, and the 1st of January, 1867, comparatively : $22,605,791 $16,518,590 $390,195,785 $285,441,849 $380,497,842 27.588,010 28,620,249 28,732,812 10,896,980 19,636,500 16,442,680 $428,680 775 $433,698,598 $425,673,334 $2,681,636,966 $2,684,995.875 $2,675,062.505 130,326,96 135,364.637 131,737,333 $2,551,310,000 $2,549,631,238 $2,543,325,172 The following statement shows the amount of coin and currency separately at the COMMERCE OF NEW YORK FOR 1866. We are able now to publish a full review of the commerce of New York for the past year, having received from the Custom House the returns for the last quarter, and revised our own figures of receipts, exports, &c. RECEIPTS, IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF LEADING ARTICLES. The movement of domestic produce the past year shows considerable changes over the figures for the previous twelve months, as our readers have probably noticed in our weekly tables. In the matter of breadstuffs we have frequently celled attention to the diminished receipts. This is, of course, due in great part to the falling off in the shipments East at the West, but in part also to the fact that the direct shipments to Boston and elsewhere have increased during 1866 Below we give our tables of receipts and exports for the year : |
