COMMERCIAL REPORT.-August 13, 1821. Sugars. Notwithstanding the very considerable arrivals of sugars for several weeks past, the demand has been very considerable, and the prices for good and fine have advanced about Is. per cwt. Middling and low qualities are however depressed, and sales effected with difficulty. Considerable sales have been effected at Liverpool by auction, and the whole have gone off freely at an advance. The prices of refined sugars are lower. Very considerable shipments have been made to the Continent this year. The value of refined sugars, exported for the first six months, was £1,328,029. Last year the whole export amounted to £1,879,467, which shews a considerable increase in the trade this year. Still, however, the prices are exceedingly low, and such as cannot repay the planter. The demand, which has for some time taken place, is probably owing to the quantity required at this particular season of the year for making British wines. From the quantity continuing to arrive, it is doubtful if this demand will continue. The state of the weather, however, in many of the West India colonies, was, at the date of the last accounts, not very favourable for the crop of next season. Cotton. The cotton market, which sometime ago looked upwards, is again become more languid. Still, however, the demand is considerable, and prices maintained. The holders are inclined to sell, and very considerable quantities are advertised for public auction. Coffee. The market for coffee is become very dull, and sales can, with difficulty, be effected at a very considerable reduction in prices. The decline in price may be stated at 2s. per cwt. The grain market which was lately on the advance, is now, on account of the more favourable appearances for the harvest, becoming more languid, and in some instances declining, particularly with regard to oats. Some Dye-woods have been sold at an advance. Extensive purchases have been made in Rice. The accounts from the Greenland and Davies' Straits fisheries, is more favourable than the first accounts received from thence, which have a considerable effect on the oil market. The low prices of Ram have attracted the notice of speculators and exporters. The demand has in consequence been considerable, and the price a trifle advanced. Brandy is become more firm. The holders are less inclined to sell. In Geneva there is no alteration nor inquiry. The demand for Pine Timber is considerable. The Tallow market remains nominally the same. Other articles of commerce require no particular notice. Although the internal trade of this country, and in some instances the foreign trade also, is greatly meliorated; still our readers are to receive, with much caution and many deductions, the flaming accounts of commercial prosperity, so ostentatiously put forth in the public periodical journals. It is true, abundance of goods are going away, but it is equally true, that several markets, particularly the Jamaica market, are completely glutted, and that the high exchanges and depreciation of every article taken in exchange, when these arrive in this country, strip the merchant of all, or nearly all, the profits of his export sales. The whole West India colonial trade, about a sixth part of the trade of the empire, is peculiarly depressed, and never was at a lower ebb, or in a more ruinous state. We would fain hope, however, that this branch of our commerce is upon the point of reviving, and that it will soon resume its former prosperity. Various unfortunate cir. cumstances have conspired to bring it to its present state. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Lamb, per quarter Tallow, per stone HADDINGTON.-AUG. 10. 1st,.....33s. 3d. 1st,.....23s.
