MONTHLY STATE OF COMMERCE.

IT is with particular satisfaction we have to announce the safe arrival of thirteen East Indianen, viz the Harrot, Monarch, Sovereign, and Alexander, from Bengal; Earl St. Vincent, from Bombay, Anjengo, and Cuticut; Lord Nelson, from Bengal and Tellicherry; Lady Jane Dundas, Walthamstow, and Hugh Inghs, from Bengal and Prince of Wales's Istand; and Haddart, from Bombau; Lord Castlereagh, Asia, and Bengal, from Bengal, Fort St. George, and Columbo. Whose cargoes, on account of the united company of merchants of Fnz! ind, trading to the West Indies, are as foliow4:

[merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small]

Besides several other parcels of goods, the particulars of which are not yet known. The company's sale is now going on, and prices favourable. At their late sale 6020 hags of sugar, sult from 21s. 6. up to 648. Od per ewt, according to qualry; 1252 bales hemp, sold from 39s, to 47s. per cwt, and 30,000 bags rough salt-petre sold from 50s. to 52s. 6d. per ent.

The following ships from London to India were all well 22d March, in lat. 16, N. long. 27 W. The Castle, Eden, Camberland, True Briton, Scalely Castle, Noangham, Britan Henry Addington. Cuffnell, and the A outral Gardner; as also was the Travers and Carmarthen on the 4th Aprij, in lat. 34 39, long, 8 37.

The sale of West In lia produce is at this time very dull indeed, nor can we expect it to be otherwise unul the northern ports of Europe are open, as usual, to receive the very great surplus of our colonial imports. In this month there has not been even attempted a public sale of the principal commodities, say sugar and rum, however, of coffee some has been sold at very reduced prices. No doubt the busmess of allowing an extra bounty on West India produce exported, may, and we wish it sincerely, have the desired effect, it beige now before parliament, and the sooner it is effected the better for the interest of the West India planters and the merchants concerned in this extensive branch of our commeree. In the present month the following West India produce has been sold by

public sale, viz. 1178 hogsheads, 178 casks, 1473 bags plantation coffee (per Messrs. Blache and Co. Kymer and Co. Tyers and Co. A. Samuda, W. Anderson, &c.) at from 90s. to 130s. per cwt. 1020 bags West India cotton, from 1s. 5d. to 1s. 8d. per lb. 100 bags cochineal, from 20s. to 27s. 9d. per lb. 100 bags pimento, from 9d, to 9d. 7 per lb. 45 tons logwood, from 151. to 15l. 10s. per ton; 45 tons canbwood, from 511. 10s. to 521. per tu, by Messrs. Kymer and Co.

The other public sales have been of very little consequence; we shall not, however, pass them over, as they may prove useful to some of our numerous friends., They are as follows, viz.

335 Westphalia hams, sold per G. Bryant at 64d. to 8d. per lb.

7000 Newfoundland seal skins per O. Ganimon at 251. to 251 15s. per 100 skins.

29 tons Teneriff barrilla, per Poyser and Co. at 40s. to 43s. Ed. per cwt.

200 carboys of spirit turpentine per O. Gammon, at 769. to 81s. pcr cwt.
200 barrels black rosin

per ditto

at 9s. Od. to 9s. 9d. per cwt.

[blocks in formation]

1819 barrels American flour, 2
600 half barrels ditto,

838 elephant's teeth, per Rymer and Co. at 201. to 341. 5s per cwt.

265 chests fine Turkey figs, per Coles and Co. at 44s. to 46s. 6d. per. cwt.

The article of West India cotton-wool continues in no demand, nor do we see any probability of a change, until the existing differences with the northern parts of Europe are so settled, as to re-establish the mercantile confidence which has so long existed between us. With respect to American produce, we have only to remark that inttle or no alteration has taken place in the prices, and that we hope and trust all misunderstanding between the two countries will be speedily adjusted. As to our domestic commerce, we may venture to say that the woollen manufactures of the north and west are in the most thriving and flourishing state; but we are concerned it is not in our power to say the same of the cotton manufactures of Manchester, entirely owing to the want of an export trade, as also to the large quantity of manufactured goods ready made up for South America, now lying on the hands of the merchants and manufacturers; who, from the late disasters which happened in that country, will not be able to export them thither. Our whale fisheries have proved uncommonly successful this year, as almost every ship came home full.
