The New York Commercial AdperfiseT Of Tues
day afternoon says:
The present movements of foreign commerce
show a balance Of exchanges in our favor. and ac-
count for the almost total cessations of the ship
ments Of specie. Although the exports are con-
fined 10 an unusual extent 10 cotton, there being
at the ports no important surplus 81 northern
produce for expectation, yet the shipments OF
that staple are moro than sufficient TO make up
the deficiency of other commodities. BY a col
lection Of the latest details OF the exports OF cot
ton at Southern ports, we are enabled 70 present
the following comparison Of exports and imports
for four weeks OF March:
Total exports from New York for four
weeks ending March 2........--,s...-.S2l,69 l.T3l
Exports of cotton from New Orleans
for first four weeks of March. esiima- -

Imports at New Y Ork for four weeks -, ,,o ,.o

Excess Of imports. $500 88l
Surprising the movements ct other ports to
about balance, we have thus an excess OF exports
over imports, for the last four weeks, OF nearly
three millions in gold value. This moyement
takes no account If the expectation OF 5-2Os dur
ing the month, which haye been made to a Inn
tied extent, nor of remittances from London on
account of railroad loans, both Of which increase
the balances in our favor.
