Corn. We have no particular observations to offer on the state of the corn market for this month past, further than to say that it has been in general heavy; and that our opinions on the opening of the ports for foreign corn are unchanged.

FOREIGN COMMERCE.

St. Petersburg, 24th Jan.-On taking a general view of the commerce of St. Petersburgh in the year 1820, we find the following remarkable result; the value of goods imported was 167,388,897 r., to which must be added the sum of 23 millions, arrived by the last vessels, and not yet entered at the Custom House, making a grand total of 190,388,897 r. The value of the goods exported amounted to only 105,085,920 r.: thus the value of the imports exceeds that of the exports by above 85,300,000 r. This great difference in the balance is unparalleled in the history of the commerce of this port. The receipt of the customs of St. Petersburg was 29,747,994 r. The number of vessels arrived was 1090; sailed, 1070.

The port of Kunda in Esthonia, on the Gulf of Finland, between Narva and Reval, has now obtained a custom-house, subject to the same regulations as are in force in all the other parts of the empire; so that foreign vessels may export from it directly, the productions of the country, without being obliged to clear out from another port. The neighbouring country produces large quantities of timber.

Riga, 26 Jan.-The prices of most of our export articles remain nearly the same as at the date of our last report (see LONDON MAGAZINE for February).—Flax is still in demand; and the arrivals being inconsiderable (till within these few days) held at rather high prices.

Gothenburg, 8th Jan.-In the course of last year there were exported from this city 92,180 ship pounds of bar-iron; 4627 ship pounds of finer and wrought-iron; and 3977 ship pounds of steel: of this quantity, 71,595 ship pounds of bar-iron, 2725 ship pounds of fine, and 468 ship pounds of steel, were exported to North America alone.

Copenhagen, 29th Jan.-Corn begins to draw more attention, and in consequence of the accounts received from abroad, the continuance of pretty mild weather, and the re-opening of the navigation, many purchases are already made; and barley, oats, and rye are particularly in demand.

Hamburgh, 10th Feb.-Cotton.-Some

purchases have been made by private contract at the prices paid at the public sales; but many holders ask more. We shall have a sale of 300 bales of Bengal on the 1st March.-Coffee. The demand being rather brisker, is held at higher prices.Spices. Several purchases of pepper have rendered the prices more firm. Pimento and ginger also keep up.-Indigo, Gum Senegal, and Logwood, are held at rather higher prices.-Rice firmer in price, in eonsequence of some demand this week.Corn. Nothing doing except for the consumption of the place. Fine rape-seed is in demand, but not to be had.—Sugar. There has been less doing in Hamburgh refined, this week than last; but as no great quantities have been brought to market, the prices have been fully maintained. The prices of lumps being rather lower, namely, good strong middling at 114a. to 11 d., prettly large purchases have been made. Raw sugar has been little asked for, and the prices unchanged, in expectation of the new arrivals, which if the frost, which has again set in, should be of any duration, may probably be delayed for some time.

Amsterdam, 10th Feb.-Cotton without purchasers, even at reduced prices.-Corn, hardly any sales; so that prices are nominally the same. - Rapeseed is held at higher prices, but without purchasers: but Rapeoil has more buyers than sellers, at the following increased prices: ready money, 77 fl.; for delivery on 1st May, 75 to 754 fl.; for 1st September, 72 fl.-Spices keep at good prices, especially pepper and pimento, of which our stock is small.— Sugar, the prices of Muscovado remain steady, and also of loaves.

Naples, 23 Jan. -Sugar.-There have been some sales at the same prices as last week.-Cottons continue to be in some request: the exportations to France give reason to hope a sensible amelioration.Brandy has suddenly risen, in consequence of a contract for the army, and of some little demand for Malta and Gibraltar. Our other productions are lower and in no request.-Good paper on Paris and London has been rare and eagerly sought after; a great deal has been done above the noted prices: 10,000l. sterling in London was negociated at 594.

Genoa, 27 Jan.-Commerce is gradually reviving, and more is doing than appears, because many transactions do not come to the knowledge of the public.-Grain.There are no purchasers for speculation. We continue to send cargoes to Naples; three vessels have sailed for that port this week.-Coffee, 15 barrels of Martinico have been sold at 32 sols; 64 bags of Rio at 26 sols the pound.-Sugar, 60 barrels of crushed 55 to 64 fr. according to quality.-Pepper, 12,000 lbs. of Malabar at 11 sols per lb.
