Of this Company for June are about 40 y cent. in

The commercial year just closed, on the 3Oth
June shows considerable increase Of Imports
at this port and a small increase of Exports. The
increase ofImports the previous year is equal
to about 81 y cent, and the increase in Exports to
only about eight y cent. The exports would have
been much larger bat FOX the holding back Of the
Cotton crop for an advance in Liverpool and the
unusually high prices at which Breadstufs have
ruled in this mark ct for domestic consumption. The
facts possessed by the Cotton interest in this
try, and confidently believed H. were such that par
ties in interest have felt assured that better prices
would be obtained for Cotton when the actual do.
fcieucy was ascertained, and accordingly an IN
usually large stock has been retained this side the
Atlantic. The export of Cotton to foreign ports
this season is over eight hundred thousand bales
less than last season to the same time, heavy
item in our exports The increased price, however
compensstes for portion Of this short shipment
The quantity Of Cotton in stock in this country
ia estimated to be worth S27,OOOOO, an amount
which would go far toward eifecting the remit
lance Of stocks which have been made in the
last twelve months The Imports Of specie, it must
be remarked, have been very large within the last
twelve months, showing an increase of s7,7O0,OOO,
so that the actual increase Of merchandise imports
is only 81, 100000, or about Is y cent over the
previous year Deducting the excess Of Exports
the actual balance against is reduced TO $40 2O0
900, and to pay this we have received S7,7O0,000
ofspecie.
