BELGIUM.—In an official account of the imports
and exports of Belgium for the first seven months of the
present and the two years preceding, the following items are
of interest. Importations gone into consumption .-
1811. 1845. 1846.
Wheat 5,092,031 .. 41,912,869 .. 83,695,448 kilos.
Rye
Birley 22,387,450 .. 23,580.593 .. 14,987,93.3 „
Rice 4,728,408 .. 1,600.226 .. 9,893,636 „
Coffee
Raw Stmar 8,502,492 .. 6,531,610 .. 8,748.530 „
The deficient harvest', and the large expenditure conse-
quently incurred for the necessaries of life, would appear to
have interfered to some extent with the internal consump-
tion of industrial product., as we observe a considerable
decrease in the imports (forborne consumption), of raw cot-
ton and wool), although there is an increase in flax.
CONSTANTINOPLE.—Advises to the 17th of August.
mention that considerable quantities of new Silk had been
received from Broussa, the greater part of which was disposes!
of at once at firm prices. Notwithstanding that the acccunt.
from France and other parts of Europe were little
encouraging, the prices at Broussa ruled high, and
were sustained by the eagerness of certain mercan-
tile agencies to execute the orders for purchase they
had on hand. At other silk-producing places more in the
interior prices wini known to hare declined from previous
quotations. Of Persian silks there was little left.
and but one transaction reported. A parcel of
110 bales was bartered against manufacturers, at the
rate of 144 piastres the oka, which would give a net rate
from 139 to 140. This parcel was composed of the remains
of stock., and of a very ordinary assortment. There was
only one other disposable lot at market, consisting of about
20 bales of fine second quality, the holder of which refused
to treat for it under 150 piastres.
SMYRNA.—Adsices from this commercial empo-
rium to the middle of August represent mercantile affairs
there to be in an unsatisfactory state, although it was the
season when they usually became more active and
prosperous. The scarcity of money is assigned as
the cause, and the apprehensions of its effects upon
credit tended to paralyse many operations. The harvest of
fruits of all kinds is reported to be of good quality, and in
sufficient abundance. Figs would be at market in about ten
days, at most. The Sultana Yerli had obtained 146 piastres
per quintal. The market was hare of Broussa silk ; that of
Payambol was currently selling at 131 to 132 piastres the
Oka.
