1867.) Monthly Commercial Report. Stl 
By Blache and Co. 852 hhds. 31 bales, and 602 bags Coffee, from 80s. to 120s. per cwt. 
By the foregoing it will be perceived that there has not been a sale of either of the two 
principal imports from the West Indies, namely, rum and sugar ; in fact, it would be useless 
at this time co force a sale of either. We, however, sincerely hope to see the sugar market 
Soon in its usual flourishing state, asthe bounty on that article for exportation is now before 
Parliament. Cotton wool still continues flat in the market, and in very little demand. 
American prodoce has not risen in our market, notwithstanding the differences which 
exist between the two countries at present, and which we have no doubt will be amicably ad- 
justed very soon. 
It is proposed, we understand, by the American Government, that proper agents or officers 
shall be appointed in évery commercial port, in each country, before whom all complaints 
shall be heard and adjusted, and every seaman given. up to that nation to which he is feund 
to belong. According to the American laws, every captain of an English vessel is liable toa 
fine uf 1000 dollars for every American seaman found on boatd of his ship. ‘The fine, we are 
informed, was paid in the case of the Esther, an English vessel, which took some Americans 
on board. Now it is but fair and just, we think, that some such law should be enacted in this 
wountry, and that both Governments shauld be placed on an equal footing. * It is computed 
that there are in the American trade upwards of 30,000 British seamen, and that this coun- 
try has in its employ 15,000 American seamen, leaving a balance against us of the latter num- 
ber. The President of the United States of America has ordered, by proclamation, the 
Congress to meet on the 28th of October, then to take into consideration ‘© great and weighty 
matters,” which occasion the convening of this extraordinary meeting. 
# At Worcester market a few pockets of new Hops were sold at from 51. 10s. to 61. 12s. per 
twt. As yet very little done at Canterbury market in the article. Some bright samples 
have been produced, but their number will be greatly lessened by the effect of the late winds 
and rain. The old duty is laid at 80,0001. In Yorkshire, and the West of England, eur 
cloth and woollen manufactures are in the most flourishing state ; the export of them to Ire- 
land is very considerable, as a few days ago the duty on British manufactured woollens paid 
at Dublin amounted, in one day enly, to 6,3001.! while the duty on goods of every descrip~ 
tion exported on the same day from that city, amounted to 381. odd shillings. We wish sine 
cerely that we could say as much of the Manchester manufactures, which, for a want of ex- 
port to the Continent, remain dull, with very large stock of finished and unfinished goods on 
band in the merchants’ and manufacturers’ warebouses, 
The Whale Fisheries have been very successful, as most of the ships are arrived full. In 
consequence of the present additional curb on trade to the north of Europe, added to the 
approach of winter, we may naturally expect at no great distance a rise of every article ime 
ported from those parts, notwithstanding the market is at present well stocked with skins, 
rags, wool, &c. &c. Large quantities of vak bark have lately been brought to market from 
Holland, Flanders, and Saxony, which meets with a dull sale, although some of it is very 
good ; the water-side warehouses are well stocked with it, but it has been asserted that the 
French Government have pow totally prohibited its exportation in future; therefore that, 
among other things, wiil become valuable and profitable to the holders of it.
