/ COMMERCIAL SUMMARY.
Trade continues in the same gu descent
state which has marked it for some time
past. AS compored with the feeling which
existed twelve months ago, there is dccid-
cd improvement, but the impetus with
which the year opened, produced by the
cessation of hostilties in China and the
East Indies, has not Abeen maintained
The stock of cotton on hand is enormous,
and exceeds by upwards Of 30G,0 900 bales
the quantity which was held last year. The
present stock is little, if any, short of a
million Of balcsi-nearly years consump-
ton. The Liverpool merchants, in this
state o(things, are impressing upon Govern
ment the necessity Of having a drawback
of the duty paid upon imported cotton, &C
companicd by more liberal and compre-
hensivc system for facilitating export |
orders, with every prospect Of success.
The weather during the last fortnight
has not been very propitious for the crops
frequent rain, low temperature, and
the absence, except occasionally, ofwarmth
and sunshine. During the last three days, |
the rains have been heavy and fIcqucnt.-
All this has the effect Of retardng the
ripening and filling of the grain. The
potatoe and turnip crop will be more than
they have been for years.
When the last steamer sailed, kind Of
panic prevailed in tho corn market; prices
were rising spectators were busy, and
great fears existed that tho stock in hand
would not last until the new crop was got
in. At This season-always critical one
for the crops-specu.ation is rife, but in
the present instance, il subsidized sooner than
might have been anticipated. The ill-timed
and heavy rains of the last day or two will.
in all probability influence the London and
Wakefield, as they have already done the
Liverpool market.
At the time We write (noon) the weather
continues most unpropiious for the crops
