The warehouse operations have been very small, the stocks being reduced very low, and the arrivals being required to meet the market. The fears that were entertained of a change in the tariff have now passed away : IMPORTS OF FOREIGN DRY GOODS AT THE PORT OF NEW YORK, FOR THREE MONTHS, FROM JANUARY 1ST.

The total, exclusive of specie, is less than for the last or all of the former years : EXPORTS FROM NEW YORK TO FOREIGN PORTS FOR THREE MONTHS, FROM JANUARY 1. The exports for the nine months show nearly the same results, viz., a great decline in the aggregate, and also in produce exclusive of specie: EXPORTS, EXCLUSIVE OF SPECIE, FROM NEW YORK TO foreign porTS FOR NINE MONTHS Total exports, nine months $74,180,980 $90,700,391 $80,037,454 $63,382,740 JOURNAL OF BANKING, CURRENCY, AND FINANCE.

The opposite table embraces, with a few unimportant exceptions, all the chartered banks that were in operation on the 1st of January, 1859. The "specie funds" consist (exclusive of some small amounts of gold and silver and "mint certificates ") almost entirely of notes and checks of other banks, and other obligations to pay on demand. To complete the table, it has been found necessary to give the "stocks, other investments, and other liabilities," of the banks of Rhode Island, as they stood in May, 1858, the returns from that State for January 1, 1859, not embracing these items. 15 129,349,245 29,380,712 7,586,163 116,054,328 20,598,005 95,456,323 22 129,540,050 29,472,056 7,457,245 116,016,828 20,950,428 95,066,400 29 129,663,249 27,725,290 7,483,642 113,012,564 19,174,629 93,837,935 Feb. 5 130,442,176 25,991,441 7,950,855 114,678,173 22,712,917 91,965,256 12 129,106,318 25,419,088 7,872,441 109,907,424 20,560,606 89,346,818 19 127,476,495 26,344,955 7,766,858 108,937,564 19,911,207 89,026,357 26 125,866,083 26,470,171 7,736,982 109,000,892 19,785,055 88,215,837 Mar. 5 125,221,627 26,769,965 8,071,693 108,646,823 22,626,795 86,800,028 12 126,205,261 25,530,054 8,100,021 107,458,392 21,270,283 86,188,109 19 127,587,943 25,043,183 7,996,713 108,353,336 21,911,543 86,441,793 26 127,751,225 25,182,627 7,998,098 106,581,128 20,237,879 86,343,249 Apr. 2 128,702,192 25,732,161 8,221,753 110,176,088 22,438,950 87,737,138 129,865,752 25,748,667 8,449,401 111,692,509 23,549,945 88,142,544 16 129,968,924 25,478,108 8,293,459 111,695,711 23,607,914 88,087,797 9 17 24 31 Feb. 7 14 BOSTON BANKS.
