MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT, 
UGAR.—The market has been brisk and extensive, and the demand for home con- 
sumption very great. Large purchases for Sweden were also made, in exchange, as 
it was reported, for the great import of iron expected ; and, in consequence, a full advance 
of 2s. per ewt. has taken place. 
Rum, Brandy and Hollands.—The Government contractor purchased about 230 to 
300 puncheons, averaging 2 per cent. over proof, at 1s. Gd. per gallon in bond, but Is. 7d. 
has been since obtained. Since then, there is less animation in the market—as it appears 
that the distillers from Malt, and others concerned, have taken the alarm at Rum being 
about to be used in the distilleries: they have had meetings, and, as is reported, will 
give the measure their decided opposition. This rumour has had the effect of damping 
the Rum market: if it is allowed, it will, no doubt, have a great effect on the present 
prices.—The Brandy Market is very dull, at reduced prices.— Geneva, or Hollands, is in 
little demand, at Is. 10d. to 1s. 11d. per gallon in bond. 
Cotton. —'There was very little demand for Cotton during the last week—the sales not 
exceeding 2,000 bales, at our quotations. 
Coffee.—The public sales of Coffee went off with rather increasing briskness in the 
close of the last week. ‘The market may, however, be stated as a shade lower in price ; 
but more firm, and with the appearance of an improving demand for exportation. 
Hemp, Flax and Tallow.— Hemp is rather higher than our last quotations—the new at 
£43 per ton.—J/ar, at the prices stated by us in our Price-current, without any advance. 
The Tallow Market is steady—the price is 32s. per ewt. this day. 
Oils. —There is no alteration, since our last Report, in the prices of this article, except 
in Sperm, which is affected by the reports lately received of the fishery. 
Suks—are very heavy, at our former and present prices. 
Spices. —The market continued heavy until Friday last for Pepper, when an advance 
took place on the Company’s sale price—Cinnamon, an advance of 3d. to 6d. per Ib.— 
Nutmegs at a discount. Since then, the market has become very dull, at the sale price. 
Fruit——Considerable sales of Raisins, Figs, &c. have taken place; but, from the large 
quantities offered by public sale, buyers have purchased yery sparingly, owing to the great 
quantity in the hands of the importers.
