MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. — 
RADE, in many of its branches, appears to be for the prefent moment in a fort of paufe, 
between the particular ftate of activity in which it exifted during the war, and thofe new chan- 
nels of operation into which it muft turn itfelf in confeyuence, Every great change in the fate
