THE market for sugar has for some time continued in a dull unsatisfactory state. Appearances within these few days, however, indicate more activity, and rather an advancement in price. As the stock is much reduced, and no supplies to be looked for of any importance during the next months, it may be fairly inferred, that sugar will advance in price. At the present rate of the market, it can never pay the planter, and consequently his debts to the mother country must remain undiminished, (perhaps increased) and his demands for all kinds of stores and supplies be greatly reduced, thereby further depressing the commerce of this country. The season for exportation being past, the demand for refined goods is exceedingly limited. Cotton.-The market for this article is in a languid state. The importations have been very considerable, which, added to the very large stock formerly on hand, leaves a supply still superior to the demand. While this continues to be the case, the market must remain without any material improvement in price. A considerable quantity has, we understand, been purchased of late in London, and shipped for China, where it will no doubt bring a better price than in the British market. This occurrence shews, in a strong light, the derangement of this branch of trade, when we perceive cotton that has been brought from the East Indies to Britain returned from thence to China, as to a better market. Coffee.-The market for coffee for some time continued very dull. There has been, however, a little improvement of late both in the demand and in the price, but whether that is to be permanent, or prices still further to increase, it is not easy to determine. The transactions in the European market must entirely regulate this. Corn. The grain market continues very flat and dull, and sales can with difficulty be effected at reduced prices. The present prices cannot nearly defray the cultivator of the soil. The fruit market, in every kind, also continues very dull. Oil and tallow are still on the decline, and the markets heavy. Brandy is advanced in price, and maintains that advance. The market for geneva remains stationary. The price of rum has sunk unusually low, in consequence of which, some demand has been evinced chiefly, we pre sume from speculation. It is scarcely possible that this article can sink lower. At the present value it will not pay the planter the expense of making, and the loss to those who are forced to take it in payment in the colonies, and ship it to this country, in order to meet their engagements, must be severe. We The manufacturing districts are decidedly more prosperous, and for the labouring population, compared with this period last year, the improvement is very considerable. would fain hope, that this improvement would be permanent, and that no such severe distresses as those which have been experienced, will again visit the manufacturing part, or indeed any part of our population. The advices from some foreign markets are more favourable, and it is to be hoped these will progressively improve. Still new markets are those from which the greatest and most extensive relief can be procured. These are in our power, and we hope will not be much longer unoccupied.
