Excerpt from Hunt's Merchants' Magazine and Commercial Review, Vol. 27: From July to December, Inclusive, 1852 With the increased intercourse of the people of the United States with the Ottoman Empire, as merchants, or as simple travelers for pleasure or ia struction, it is presumed that any information made public on the subject of the trade of Asiatic and European Turkey will be perused with interest by the commercial public. The absence of a regular Commercial Bureau at Washington, to which such communications might be made, for the purpose of having them laid before the public in the form of annual Commercial Re orts to Congress, renders this means of publicity the more valuable an with this object in view, the following later details of the trade which formed the subject of the previous notes are now offered for insertion in the Merchants' Magazine.
