MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 



Cotton Wool. — At London tJie enquiry for Surat's for exportation was pretty general, 

 but the holders are not inclined to kcII at tlie present low ])riceH ; 400 bales of ordinaiy, 

 sold for 4s. 8d. to 4s. |d. per lb. Buyers appear to be waitiiij? the arrival of the ship- 

 ping, so long detained in the channel by contrary winds. At Liverpool, the demand has 

 been trifling, owing to the jjrcscnt unhai)))y disturbances in Lancashire ; about 2,(K)0 

 bags have been bought in upon s])eculation. The late arrivals are 0,024 bags without 

 purchasere. At Glasgow, tlie total sales have been 1,242 packages; and owing to the 

 general stagnation in trade, prices are merely nominal. 



Sugar. — There is no alteration in our last (juotation of sugars ; the stock in the Docks 

 is exceedingly small, being only 9,920 hhds. and tierces, or 8,400 less than at this time 

 last year. Buyers are waiting the arrival of the shipping so long detained by contrary 

 winds ; and when the market is better sui)plied with good sugars, a brisk demand may 

 be anticipated. Tlie market for refined goods is exceedingly dull, for the same reason. 



Co/fee. — There has been some demand for Foreign Coffee for exportation, but very 

 dull for home consumption; Ilavanuahs arc selling from 49s. to 3.3s. per cwt., and other 

 kinds in proportion. 



Rum, Brandy and Hollands. — The former in band sells from 2s. 8d. to 3s. 6d. per 

 Imperial gallon. Brandy, Cogniac 3s. 6d. to 3s. 8d. ; and Hollands, Is. lOd. to Is. lid. 

 per ditto. The demand exceedingly dull for all kind of Spirits. 



Tea is lower since last Sale, except fine Hysons, which maintain last quotations.
