The exports to foreign countries have been 5.801,459, against $15,736,307 in June, and $23,833,873 in May. The excess of receipts over exports is thus $1,054,213. For the first seven months of the year, the exports show an excess of shipments over receipts of $26.815,989, which is nearly ten millions more than the average excees of exports for the same period of the preceding four years.
