The gold returns for the quarter ending September 30th, 1875, show a considerable increase over the corresponding quarter last year. The quantity exported is 99,061 ounces, of the value of £391,425, as compared with 86,783 ounces and £349,491 last year, leav ing the increase at 1_,251 ounces'of the value, of £41,931. This is a very satisfactory re sult, and tends to prove that the downward course in the export of gold has been arrest ed, and that we have good reason to look forward to a rise. At any rate, there is no reason to fear a further fall.
