COMMERCIAL REPORT.-Oct. 12, 1820.

Sugar. Our remarks on this article must necessarily be confined. The market, which for some time continued to look favourable, became, to the close of last month, stationary and languid, and since then it has rather declined. Holders, however, remain firm, and little inclination is shewn to suffer any depression of price. The supply may now be considered as having arrived at the market for this year; and as the quantity on hand can readily be ascertained, therefore the market may be expected to improve, unless the consumpt of the country decline. The demand for Refined Goods continues lively. In Foreign Sugar there is little doing.Coffee. The Coffee market has become very dull, and the prices are given way considerably. Sales cannot be effected but with great difficulty. The next advices from the Continent, however, may give a different turn to the Coffee market, as every thing depends upon the activity in, and demand from that that quarter.Cotton.-The Cotton market in London remains very heavy, but the prices have not given way. In Liverpool there was some appearance of improvement some days ago, but subsequently the market has become dull; but, nevertheless, the prices quoted are maintained, as the holders are not inclined to push the stock on hand into the market. A general opinion prevails, that if any great quantity were brought for. ward into the market, the prices would give way considerably. The improvement in the manufactures of the country, will, however, in all probability, prevent any material decline.Oil is declining in price. Tallow is also fallen in price, and the market is extremely dull. The sales of Tobacco are limited, and the prices a shade lower. The Rum market is become heavy. Brandy may be purchased a shade lower. In Geneva there is no alteration. The prices of all kinds of Grain have declined since our last

very considerably. The weather of late has been very favourable for finishing what remained of the late crops, and gathering these into the barn-yards.

We have the satisfaction to state, that the manufacturing trade is decidedly and generally improved throughout all the country; and we are informed, from good authority, that there is a prospect of sufficient work for six months to come. We fondly anticipate a progressive improvement in our internal situation, which nothing can obstruct or prevent, but throwing the country into confusion, mischief, and internal broils, which is at present evidently the object of a considerable portion of the Radical tribe, so generally scattered over the nation. The good sense of the community, however, and the firmness of the executive government, will, we hope, again completely frustrate the daring at tempts and efforts of a set of fools and madmen, from plunging this nation into a state of anarchy and rebellion.
