COMMERCIAL REPORT. COLONIAL PRODUCE.-Sugars.-The sugar market, since our last, has been so heavy, that holders, to effect sales, now submit to a small decline; which may be stated at 1s. to 2s. per cwt. for parcels in importers' hands, and at 2s. to 3s. for those held on speculation. In the Refined market, some sales are reported at a decline of 1s.; but shippers state, that their orders are limited to prices from 3s. to 5s. under the present currency. By the new rates of duty, the present high import rates of 30s. on Muscovadoes, 35s. on Clayeds, and 40s. per cwt. on East India sugats, are proposed to be made permanent. Coffee. The prices of this article are rising. A cargo of St Domingo, to arrive at Glasgow, which had been sold at 102s. a few days ago, was resold yesterday at 108s. ; but parcels of St Domingo in London, however ordinary, could not be purchased under 109s., and for good quality, 111s. The accounts from the Continent are exceedingly favourable; the prices advancing, and the stocks in the Hanse Towns and in Holland are reported very small. Cotton. The demand has been very limited, and purchases inconsiderable; but at prices a shade higher. 140 Boweds taken for exportation at 221d,; 160 Demerara, by public sale, at 2s. 01d. to 2s. 01d.; a few St Kitt's 204d Pernambuco at 2s. 14d, to 2s. 14d. Surats, 14d. to 163d.. 100 Bengals at 101d. to Ild. The imports of cotton last month into Great Britain were 44,619 bags, being 8876 bags more than in March 1817. Rum.-The demand for export, which a fortnight ago was rather extensive, has again subsided; prices without variation. Tobacco. -There has been considerable inquiry after tobacco; and, from the reduced stock in London, holders are sanguine of obtaining higher prices. Oils.-The arrival of three vessels from the South Sea Fishery, since our last Report, has occasoined a depression of prices in that article of L. 4. Greenland has also given way, and Sperm may be purchased at a reduction ef L. 6 to L. 8. Cod and Seal oil are nearly nominal. EUROPEAN PRODUCE.-Hemp, Flax, and Tallow.The prices of foreign tallow are entirely nominal. In flax and hemp there is little variation.-Brandy and Geneva. -The better descriptions of brandy maintain their prices, but inferior qualities have declined materially. Geneva continues in languid request, and prices without alteration. British Manufactures.-It is with pleasure we observe, from an official document just published, that there has been this year a great increase in our woollen manufactories; in the narrow cloths milled, this increase amounts to 1,582,947 yards; and in broad cloths milled to 2,422,135 yards. A corresponding improvement in the condition of the labouring classes has taken place: as it appears that the assessment of poor's rates in the town of Leeds was on the 5th inst. only 5s in the pound, whereas in April 1817 it was 10s. The commerce of the port of Liverpool with India direct becomes of more and more importance; and it is in consequence proposed to build East India Warehouses at Liverpool.
