COMMERCIAL STATISTICS. TRADE AND COMMERCE OF NEW ORLEANS. THE annual statement of the "New Orleans Price Current, Commercial Intelligencer, and Merchants' Transcript," which is prepared with remarkable accuracy, for the year ending August 31, 1845, has reached us, and, as usual, we proceed to lay it before the readers of the "Merchants' Magazine and Commercial Review."* The statement includes the exports of cotton, tobacco, sugar, molasses, flour, pork, bacon, lard, beef, lead, whiskey, and corn; also the imports of produce into New Orleans from the interior, the prices of various products, and the arrivals of shipping at New Orleans. It is matter of regret that similar statements of the trade and commerce of all our commercial towns and cities are not annually prepared for publication.
