If we compare the returns for the whole ten months of the fiscal year, we find nearly the same results, and an increase over every year except 1857. The excess over last year is $22,722,649: FOREIGN IMPORTS AT NEW YORK FOR TEN MONTHS ENDING APRIL 30. The above show the total imports. If we distinguish the dry goods for the month of April, included in the general total, they will show $5,433,344 more than for the same period of 1858, and $3,521,740 less than for April, 1857, as will be seen from the annexed comparative summary :— IMPORTS OF FOREIGN DRY GOODS AT NEW YORK FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL. • Total thrown on market.... $8,012,176 $4,774,584 $3,331,125 $7,941,542 Total entered at the port..... $8,147,080 $6,942,155 $2,654,685 $8,040,668 The warehousing movement for the month has been quite light, as compared with previous years. The entries have been small, and the withdrawals show a greater reduction, since the quantity in bond is very limited. The comparison for the four months is as follows: IMPORTS OF FOREIGN DRY GOODS AT THE PORT OF NEW YORK, FOR FOUR MONTER, FROM JANUARY 1ST.

The large exports of specie at this season are unusual, and have produced uneasiness in some quarters. The exports for the four months, since January 1st, show a favorable result, but are large as compared with 1858 : EXPORTS FROM NEW YORK TO foreign portS FOR FOUR MONTHS, FROM JANUARY 1.

The specie shows in the aggregate some decline as compared with last year. The following is a brief comparison of the shipments of produce, to which we have added at the foot the shipments of specie. It has only been since the revival of imports that specie shipments have become large.

The following is a comparative summary : The amount of cash duties has increased in New York, it appears, $4,570,075. This is, however, entirely due to the business since January 1st, and it has sufficed to meet thus far the wants of the government. JOURNAL OF BANKING, CURRENCY, AND FINANCE. AMERICAN GOLD.
