EFFECTS OF THE BALTIC BLOCKADE OF 1854.
The Borsenhalie of liatnbuig is ies•ructed by letters from
St. Petersburg, that (rout the op'ning to the clam of the
navigation in 18.54, oaly seven foreign shins entered the
port 'A St. Petersburg, and there were only twenty-seven
departures. The coasting trade was not iat. rrupted. In
consequence of the advance in the rates of carriage 10,000
oukops of tallow remained unsold, and prices have fallen
greatly. The advance on imports is most felt in the article
of cotton. Instead of some millions of ponds, the importa-
tion of ordinary years, iu 1854 only 900,000 ponds were im-
ported, and many mills are @terming still fur want of raw
material.
