,111 the circular of Messrs. Smith and Charles
41 following statement is given respecting the
tdition of trade in Russia :
Zebra St. Petersburg advices are to the 20th Sep-
ik_ • The Exchange was 35i to 36 1-16th. 300
tallow taken on the spot at 111 rs. 200 casks, en
to Korn°, at 115 rs. There had been despatched
kit:St. Petersburg and the interior 36 to 40,000 casks of
and it is estimated that there are about 40,000
niore to be disposed of. Taking, therefore, the ex-
eestimate in both cases, it appears that the total
Ztity of tallow available for exportation this season is
t 80,000 casks. Looking at the fact that the average
krtation of tallow from Cronstadt for the 30 years

upon the productive powers of
;
The extent of the demand for accommodation
the Bank of England, during the week to the
4 inst., shown by the weekly balance sheet,
fullY as large as was represented. The cause we
'Mined at the time as being rather a preparation
!91(3 advanced rate of discount, and a provision

bat possible contingencies, than a pressure of
'qtreme character which such an extraordinarily
)1(1 addition to the securities would imply.

though it is probable that during the first por- st•
;1 of the current week similar circumstances 12
'q their weight, we can scarcely suppose the in- 50,12
eto have been in the same ratio, and may i6l
":82. expect it to diminish, now that 5 per cent. St.
rge is established and speculation is discouraged. 2(3,
an amount of loans and discounts has not, for Ili
13g period, figured in the Bank assets, and one Bstt•
two conclusions is inevitable : either there is an 20
tilense trade doing, or financial operations of 10
than usual magnitude have been undertaken. 12+
t' first supposition we believe to be erro- 50
!tls, the grain imports being the largest E
I,:.‘quercial absorbent, and most other branches 25
i4g kept within very moderate limits. The fall- „s 5
i,_”ff in the exports to Australia and other coun- 812 a
; the United States perhaps excepted, is the st.
't corroboration of this view. There is, however, 650t*
auxiliary and by no means unimportant strain 25
rti the currency in the elevated prices of all raw 4192?
'terials and articles of food. The experience of to
01ies may be taken in Petto as that of the nation. 20
Llarticle of consumption exacts an outlay far be- si
Lid that of less prosperous or more abundant 5(
117°ds, since the ample employment afforded by 7
War to a mass of persons ordinarily restricted
itthe merest necessaries, brings them in as buyers
L°°7aaparative luxuries, while the diminution of
stocks and the deficiency of the production up-
(l4 the market prices against the old opponent
sear money. Passing on to the balance-sheet of
