The value of exports of domestic produce from New York from January 1 

 to the 4th of April, in currency, is as follows: 1862, $34,903,292; 1863, 

 $54,137,715; 1«64, $42,734,973. 



The national account sums up thus, for the first three months of 1864: 



Imports $93, 884, 606 



Exports 42, 734, 973 



Balance against the people 51, 149, 633
