DEFERRED ARTICLES.

From the Neto York Daily .4dUertiser.

We published some time since short ac-
count OF the extraordinary growth OF the city OF
Odessa, OH tie Back oes and OF the extent Of
its Commerce aud DayIgation. Some further
particulars relative 10 the nature Of It's trade
may perhaps be interesting 10 some Of our
mercantile reades For The Information which
we have Oh the subject, we are indebted 10
Rordansz's work Oh European commerce,
published in London IN the year 1915.
I" The produce winch can be exported from
the Russian ports on the Black sea, aud Sea
Of AsOph, a,e Puucipaly gram, oak timber,
masts, hemp, FAX, tar. trlIow, heinPseed, on,
iron and SAN cl1i1- Sax uaitet growsrIn a
Uundance on The banks OF The Dneper, anu Of
those OF The various rivers connected with II.
The best hemp grows IN White Russia and
LHbuauIa, which Is conveyed down The TlseT
DnIeper. Pitch and lar are Obtained ID mod
eIate quantities. Talow can De had IN large
quantities, the produce Ut the cattle ted upon
the rch soil Of he Ukraine. Iron from Cher
son viii not answer; from Ta5 ,nrog ii will
stand cheaper from St. Petersburg.
SAIL cloth may IN time be procured by the
way Of Cherson. Some samples have been
sent from thence 10 Marseies, which left a
handsome profit, as well as several cargoes Oi
graiu.
The port most convenient for shipping TIM
Der, hemp, aud pitch, Is Stubopa near Cher
son but that port does not admit vessels ex-
ceedlng 80 tons. For the other articles, the
port Of Odessa is preferable, and Will be made
sui more 50.
From such natural advantages, all articles
may indeed be conveyed cheaper down to the
Black Sea, than into the BaIlic but then the
addition OF the expense OF the interior car
rage Is trtllng when compared With the dit
terence between the freight, Insurance, and
charges upon goods when brought round BY
Tie Mediterranean 10 Great Brian, aud that
which Is incurred on goods when brought from
the BallIc.
The best time for sailing from the ports Of
the Back Sea, is in The spring of the year.
The passage TO ConslantInople is effected in
from Two TO five days.
The purchases on contract are generally
accompanied with an advance Of fourth or
bali Of the money immediately, aud bargain
10 pay The remaining part on delivery con-
tracts may be made 10 pay the whole en- de-
livery, but he price is higher.
On the 18th OF April, 1917, bis ma jesty the
Emperor OF Russia issued an ordinance, gran
ting 10 Odessa the privileges OF free port,
which were 10 be carried into effect as soon
Jas certain works round The city could be com
pleIed. These not having been finished So
soon as was first expected, his EXcelency
Baron Strugonptf, Russian ambassador 10 the
Porte, gave notice 10 the foreign ministers al
ConstantlnOple, that il was hoped the works
alluded 10 would be flushed before the end Of
the year 1879; and that until that time the
trade OF Odessa would remain strictly subject
to the tariff Of March, 1916.
The port OF Odessa is preferable TO that
OF Cherson, for the produce OF the Ukraine !;
because in the latter port, goods are obliged
10 be transported 10 lighters 70 the ship in the
open roads, which is often attended with
danger from the weather, and always great
risk, Oh account Of pilage; and because at
Odessa, there are foreign houses OF different
nations, whilst at all the other ports they are
chiefly Greeks and Russians"
Ships, in general are but few days on
their passage from Odessa bui from Tagan
ros the navigation is moi ouy much longer,
but even tedious, and liable 10 many incon-
venIences and dangers.
Merchandise may, in general, be embarked
the whole winter through Odessa; but from
Taganrog, the navigation generally. ceases IN
the month OF November, and does not com
mence ill The end Of March or April"
