Towards the end of January, a revived inquiry for sugars took place, the demand being principally for the new sugars from Demerara and Berbice; the fine sold Is. to 2s. higher. There were also considerable inquiries after foreign; but no material improvement can be stated as to price. In the refined market, there has been little business done. Coffee-Extensive sales have taken place since our last report; and, on all the ordinary descriptions, an advance of about 10s. has taken place; good middling has also been quoted 4s. to 5s. higher. Cotton.-There was a considerable revival in the demand for cotton last week; the purchases of Pernams were extensive, chiefly on speculation, and for France; prices 2s. to 2s. 1d.; Berbice 21 d. to 23 d.; Surats, 144d to 15d.; and Bengals, 104d. to 1s. Rum. From the very low prices of this article, there is a strong expectation that it will become a great article of export in the spring; at present there is little doing. Tobacco is in considerable request, chiefly on speculation, and for the home manufacture; the prices remain without variation. Spices are in some request, with an appearance of advancing currency. Oils. Every description has declined in price; Greenland about L. 2, and other kinds from L. 1 to L. 2. There is at present little business doing. EUROPEAN PRODUCE.-Hemp, Flax, and Tallow.-Towards the end of last month the demand for tallow revived; but has again given way, and prices are quoted Is. lower. In hemp and flax, a good deal of business has been done, but no material alteration has taken place in prices. Brandy and Hollands. Since our last, both these articles have declined 3d. per gallon; but there is at present some appearance of a revival in the demand for brandy. British Manufactures.-There can be no better proof of the progressive improvement of our manufactures, and the estimation in which they are held on the Continent, than the complaints we daily read in the foreign papers, of the injury done to their native manufactures by the introduction of ours. We noticed, in our last, the favourable state of the Glasgow trade; and we continue to receive similar accounts of the thriving condition of manufactures in Manchester, Liverpool, and various other places. By a docu ment just published, the thriving state of trade at Liverpool is fully evidenced. Thus it is said, the soap trade is very bare of tallow ;"" the stocks of hemp are far below the ordinary consumption;"" there is little or no foreign flax remaining;"" the demand for foreign iron for the East Indies has cleared the Liverpool market of all that was on hand," &c. The following extraordinary exportation, in two articles only, took place at Liverpool, between the 10th of October 1817, and the 5th of January 1818 :Of cotton stuffs, (including white and printed calico, cottons, &c. 24,835,335 yards. Of stockings, (cotton only, exclusive of silk, &c.) 380,544 pairs. Averaging the cottons at only 1s per yard, and the stockings at 2s. per pair, the amount of exports for three months, in these two articles alone, is nearly L. 1,300,000.-Feb. 9.
