THE CORN-TRADE OF SOUTHERN RUSSIA. The States Committee of Odessa
prepared a report of the corn-trade of Russia since 1824, which has been inserted in the _Berlin States Annual for 1856; Dr. Michelsen has translated it into English. The facts with respect to the Southern ports of Russia are very interesting, and show what a vi- gorously growing trade has been stopped by the war. The returns extend from 1824 to 1852; the growth of the trade was almost uninterrupted. Here is the comparison of the exports in the first and last years of the series. The Russian tehetwert is equal to 0.72 of an English imperial quarter. Exports. tebetwerts, 665,991 .... 4,135,769.

Tebetwerts.
From 1824 to 1881 annual average.. 1,307,066 1832 to 1840
1841 to 1846 2,349,966 1847 to 18523,493,970
A few facts may be cited exhibiting the increase of the grain-trade in par- ticular ports. Oaessa was far above any other. From 1824 to 1831 the annual average export of grain was 865,921 tehetwerts; from 1847 to 1852 it had increased to 2,031,696. The opening of the Sea of Azoff to naviga- tion was disastrous to Eupatoria, Katie, and Hertch ; their exports of fell.off; while in the ports in the Sea of Azoff a great trade grew up. From Berdiansk the shipments were 187,761 tchetwerts in 1839; 632,336 in 1852: Marioupol exported 124860 tchetwerta of wheat .1843 ; 265,236 1862 : in 1824, Taganrog exported only 95,203 tehetwerts of grain; in 1862, the total was no leas than 650,389.• Restoffi •on the Don, increased its exports from 96,385 tchetwerts in 1843 to 468,733 in 1862.
