MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
PDE exportation of provifions from France and Holland has been entirely prohibited by 
the refpective Governments of thofe countries, as they found the large demands for 
this country began to caufe a coafiderable rife in their markets. At Rotterdam and Vlaar- 
dingen, feveral veffels laden with butter, cheefe, beef, &c., for England, have been de- 
tained, and their cargoes ordered to be unloaded, by which many perfons here will fuftain 
much inconvenience, if not ultimate lofs, from having previoully accepted bills to the 
amount of their orders. 
The enormous price of all kinds of grain has at length obtained the ferious attention of 
Government, and, trom the prefent inveftigation, it is to be hoped that fome efiicient mea- 
fares may be adopted to leffen, if they cannot wholly remove, this :moft alarming evil. It 
is generally underftood, that, on the meeting of Parliament, a higher bounty will be im- 
mediately granted on the importation of foreign corn. ‘This may be very neceflary for 
procuring relies as fpeedily as potlible ; but unlets attended with more certain and perma- 
nent mealures, it will probably be found very inadequate. It is not to commercial adven- 
ture that the country evan look with contidence for relief from an evil which there is great 
' reafon to believe arifes, in part at leait, from grain having become too much a commercial 
commodity. 
The quantity of foreign grain, meal, and fiour, imported into England cee the Sth 
of January and the ift of September laft was as follows:

The diftillers have lately made an additional charge to the reétiners of Gin, of half-a- 
crown per gallon upon the wath. Many diftillers have ftopped working at prefent, on 
account of the high price of grain; and they will probably be all foon ftopped by au- 
thority. 
Rice has rifen lately very confiderably. Upwards of 1000 barrels and 240 half-barrels 
fold by public fale on the 24th of October trom 34s. to 39s. 9d. per cwt. Large orders 
have been fent to America in expectation of the bounty being increafed on the meeting of 
Parliament. 
Raw Sugars have continued to advance a little, as the market ee lately been pretty
