MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
‘BRITISH MAXNUFACTURES.—1T hose of Manchester have, within the last few weeks, ex-+ 
perienced a sort of fenovation, owing to the immense number of American ships lying in 
the port of Liverpool, the owners af which ate eager to freight them, as quickly as possible, 
with the must merchantables of British commodities.—On the same account, the trade of 
the potteries is become tolerably brisk, and several of the manufacturers have got rid of a 
Steat past of their dead stock. Birmingham is rather behind the, two staples just mentioned ; 
but the hopes of the manufacturers are supported by the probability of their being enabled 
to introduce the numerous and varied productions of their industry into Holland, Germany, 
&c. This they‘expect will be the result of the grand expedition.—Shefiield may,-be -said to 
be in the same state with Birmingham, as far as regards foreign trade, but the demand: on 
the part of the London dealers, &c. continues pretty steady. i.

rate prices required’ for the West India Coff-e rather tend to lessen the demand for the former

Wrst Inpies.—-The Raw Sugar market is very brisk, and about 6000 hogsheads, being 
@ ninth part of the last arrival, have been sold within a week. Considerable business has 
been done in Coffee, at 2s. to 4s. per cwt. advance on late prices. The Cotton market is not 
So brisk as we could wish, but prices are rather higher than they have been for some time 
past, in consequence of'a speculation having taken place in Liverpool, where, avout a week 
prior to the writing of this report, 14,000 bags were disposed of, the demand increasing, but 
no such high prices required by the’sellers there, as by those at London, consequently . we 
have not had much buying.—-Of Rum, considerable sales are made at improved prices, owing 
tu the threat of an advance. Jamaica ]ogwoodrather dull. 
NoriH AMERICA.—The Bill to amend,.and continue in force, the Act to interdict the 
Commercial intercourse between the United States, Great Britain, and France, was read 
a third time onthe 23d of June, and passed. Our merchants scem resolved upon profiting 
by the interval between the present. period, and that when the above Act shail be pyt in 
force ; and at Liverpool, in particular, every exertion is-used in loading the numerous Ame- 
ricans, in that port, with manufactured goods. With respect to North American merchan- 
dise, it may be observed, that Ashes are indemand ; Tobacco eagerly sought after, but the 
holders become more tenacious; Cotton moie dull of sale than other American guods ; and 
Flax Seed pretty fair, fetching from 41. 5s. to 41. 16s. per quarter. The latter article is 
most bought up by the Irish growers.
