The receipts for cash duties at the port of New York correspond with the value of dutiable goods entered for consumption and withdrawn from warehouse. For the month of October, as well as during each previous quarter of the year, the total shows a comparative decline.

The following will show the comparative receipts, for duties, at Philadelphia

The imports from foreign ports continue to decline, both in quantity and value. At New York the receipts for October were $1,151,887 less than for October last year, but $2,383,165 greater than for October, 1852, and $2,453,364 greater than for October, 1851. The falling off in dutiable goods is still greater, but the receipts of free goods have largely increased, and will be still greater when the Reciprocity Treaty with the British Provinces is carried into effect. We annex a carefully prepared summary :—

FOREIGN IMPORTS AT NEW YORK FOR OCtober.

It will be seen that the total entered warehouse during the month is much larger than for the same time last year, but the withdrawals show a much greater increase, holders being anxious to crowd off stocks, as money has been scarce and prices daily declining. The total imports at New York since January 1st, are $4,160,649 less than for the same period of last year, but $52,609,120 greater than for the same period of 1852, and $44,757,982 greater than for the same period of 1851. The falling off, in comparison with last year, would be still greater but for the increase in the warehousing business and the receipts of free goods.

In classifying the receipts of foreign goods at New York for October, we find that the decline has been altogether in dry goods, and that in fact the falling off in this particular is greater than the total decline for the month, showing an increase in other foreign merchandise. Thus, the total receipts of foreign dry goods for October are $2,101,436 less than for October, 1853; $899,621 less than for October, 1852; and only $22,854 greater than for October, 1851.

The total imports of dry goods at New York since January 1st, are $6,430,660 less than for the same period of last year; but $22,867,711 greater than for the same period of 1852, and $18,776,877 greater than for the same period of

1851.

To show this more clearly we have thrown into one comparative table the goods entered directly for consumption,

and those entered for warehousing, thus showing the total receipts at the port, of each class of goods:

The receipts of dry goods are daily diminishing at all the ports, and the total for November will show a still greater comparative decline.

The exports from Southern ports have increased, but from New York the shipments of produce for the month show a decline, owing to the high prices, and the continued scarcity of stock. The total shipments in October from the last-named port, exclusive of specie, are $1,325,813 less than for the corresponding month of last year, but $1,051,248 greater than for October, 1852, and $1,949,209 greater than for the same month of 1851, as will appear from the following comparison:

The exports of specie have been large, but not quite up to the total shipped during the same month of last year. Enough has, however, been sent to increase the monetary excitement, and add to the severity of the pressure. The total exports of produce and merchandise since January 1st are $2,044,700 greater than for the corresponding period of last year, $14,450,623 greater than for the same period of 1852, and $15,145,213 greater than for the same period of 1851. The shipments of specie for the year show an excess even over the large total for the first ten months of 1851:

As much interest is manifested in regard to the exports of specie, we annex a statement showing the monthly shipments from New York since January 1st,

1850:

Total...... $9,982,948 $43,743,209 $25,096,255 $26,753,356

The total for the year will hardly reach the same amount as for the corresponding period of 1851. We do not look for very large shipments of produce from New York, or any of the Northern ports, before the opening of navigation next spring, but from the Southern ports, and especially from New Orleans, the exports will probably be large during the winter months. We annex a comparison of the shipments of certain leading articles of domestic produce from the port of New York from January 1st to November 18th, inclusive :—

As an indication of what may be expected when the returns from all the ports are compiled, we annex a comparative summary of the shipments from the port of New Orleans for the quarter ending September 30th, showing an increase, as compared with last year, of about 75 per cent. The shipments for the last quarter named include $4,500,000 to Great Britain, and $2,000,000 to France.
