FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

SUNDAY, May 9, 1850.
The week which ended yesterday witnessed
less active movement than the corresponding week
OF last year in respect (, imports Of foreign goods
and exports Of domestic produce, but an increased
export of specie. This latter was chiefly due to
the sailing Of two fAvorite ships, the Vanderbilt
and City Of Baltimore, yesterday, both Of which
take treasure at lower rate than the Cunard line
The imports Of foreign goods comprise 81, 900 900
worth Of sugar. The entries Of foreign silks, jew
elry and coffee were likewise heavy. The declining
movement in cotton tells upon our exports Of pro
duee; gold viii now take the place Of the great
Southern staple in our export lists.
The following are the comparative tables Of the
trade Of the port for the week and since Jan. L.
