MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
UGAR.—The shortness of the supply, and consequent decrease of stock, of Britisl: 
Plantation sugar, continues to excite the attention of Buyers, The stock in Dock is 
at present about 19,000 casks less than at the corresponding time last year; but the arrival 
of several West-India ships during the last week, will occasion a better supply at market. 
Refiners shew a reluctance to sell lumps at present quotations ; consequently) the business 
done has been limited. For grocery descriptions, however, there continues a very brisk 
demand, at an advance of 2s. per cwt., and purchases have been made at the prices for 
delivery two months hence. Of crushed Sugars two or three parcels have been sold at 
quoted prices. East-India Sugar by auction 1685 bags, good and middling white 38s.
