Recapitulation — Interior receipfa, imports, foreign, and exports, for the years 



COIN ABSORBED IN THE INTERIOR. 



With regared to the amount of gold coin on this coast, it is difficult 

 to ascertain with any degree of certainty. The following figures may 

 serve to show, in some degree, the currency movement of the past three 

 years, and perhaps give some idea of the amount of coin in circulation 

 in the hands of the people : 



Total for three j'ears, twenty million one hundred and fifty-six thou- 

 sand nine hundred and thirty dollars. 



It should be remarked here, that the above tables show only our exports , 

 by sea, w^hile we have been sending hxrge quantities of our domestic pro- 

 duce over the mountains to Nevada, and have no means of determining 

 bow great that quantity has been. The exports by sea will undoubtedly 

 increase in the future, and perhaps those to the interior may, for a few 

 years, but we cannot expect them to many years, as the agriculture of 

 those States and Territories now dependent on us w'ill soon supply suffi- 

 cient for their own consumption.
