The Advance ut Gold.
- -
:yesterday, the value of gold, in comparieme
with the Federal papeibearrency, anyanced to
.within a fraction of 100 premium -Green
backs are new worth 50 cents on the- dotter
11-1 specie.
Tfact that Grant has failed to destroy
Lee's army in the open-field, and ha.snow to
resort to the tedious -method of *siege, may
have contributed to the unparalleled advance;
but the real cause iis to be found, as we have
before stated, in the steady flow of gold from
the Federal States to foreign ports:: During
the week eadieg Saturdaylast, the experts in
gold amounted to $2 839,180,. and there is no
expectation of theleavy drain being arrested.
According to Anierican statistics, we find
that the imports last week were in geoid -value
$5404,2811 while the exports -of produce at
gold. value Were but 81,700,000 -leaving d
balance of 83 704 281 to be made up by the
export ofesoldi batik, railway, or government
stock, or some other suchnecurity, As about
$40,000,00 of 5-20 U. S. bonds have already
found their„way to the Centiaent of Europe,.
there is no ;likelihood that more will be ab-
sorbed in that-directioneespecially as these
bonds- are only geoted. at $106 for g,reetn
backs, or 854.1tegold-e-e On the contrary, the
firobehility, is that the bonds may be sent back
instead of more being accepted. '
:The Mereliandise imports of the United S.
Since January 1st, amount to -V09,865,314
in geld value, While the exports hare only
reached= $11,800,0001 showing , a 13alanee
against. the -United States of about $68,000,-
000 in gold:- The specie experts for, the port.
of New York since the. cornmencmistd_:of the
year only amount to '023,1107,158; showing
that the gold balance against Alia State is
still $44,358,900, -
• - With the ectistant flew of gold- outwards,
and the impoits, now being three tithes in
excess of the exptrts, it is Clear -that the
heavy drain which has tornmeneed bust con-
tinue, and as geld. becomes seaticertheprice
will rise. An examination into the: specie re-
serve at the American bank show amost
edartning depletion, Thus Philadelphia,
which- is ranked as the second. city An the
Union, -had a specie -reserve at all her batiks,
according to the last -Week's' statement, ..of
