1814.] Commercial Report. 193 manufactures of this country, which may account for the turn the two great branches of commerce have taken within the last month. In colonial merchandize sugars have experienced the most prominent advance in price. The large bounty on refined sugars, and drawback of duties on the raw, that are fixed from the 5th inst. to the 5th of December next, are so very favoura ble both for the refiner and merchant, that it is not improbable the whole stock of raw sugars will be nearly consumed before the 1st of January next, and cause the article to bear an unprecedented high price. From the commencement of our work we have invariably enforced upon the attention of our readers the importance of this article in commerce, and suggested that we considered the supply as likely to become inadequate to the actual demand, and cause so high a price to prevail as to abridge the consumption as the only means of the article finding its former fair average value: we are aware how strongly we enforced this argument in the early part of the present year, and what a considerable depression was experienced through the months of May and June, and also how much we are opposed in our ideas on the subject by numbers who make pretensions to correct commercial knowledge; we are therefore desirous to place the question in such a point of view as will shew the reason upon which our conclusion is founded. The total annual importation of sugars into all the ports of Great Britain on an average of 3 years past, has been about $50,000 casks, and estimating the stock on hand on the arrival of the supplies in July, 1811, at 150,000 casks, the consumption in the mean time has exceeded the importation by full 100 or 120,000 casks, by which the future demand is confined in the supply to the annual importations, and the importation of the present season, instead of exceeding, as was at first expected, is likely to fall short 5 or 10,000 casks, and at all events will certainly not exceed that of last season, as far as supplies have arrived this season, consisting of 200 ships in new fleets from the Leeward Islands, and 111 ships in the first Jamaica fleet, and as the second Jamaica fleet is daily expected, we shall be able in our next number to give a very correct opinion of the total supply of the season. The decrease since the arrival of the new supplies has been great beyond any former precedent, amounting in the last month to upwards of 25,000 casks, and the advance in price since the 1st of August, may be stated at full 12s. per cwt. Muscovadoe Sugars that then sold at 85s. to 87s. now readily command 97s. to 100s. and all kinds of Foreign, Clayed, and Refined Sugars advanced in the same proportion. The only circumstance that can be adduced in favour of the consumption not being so great, as appears by the delivery from the docks last month, is that, as the bounty on Refined for exportation being so favourable as 50s. 14d. per cwt. on single loaves, and 10s. additional ou double loaves, a considerable portion of the delivery from the docks may have been for Refined to bond, by which a great part of it again comes back to form a stock for exportation; at present there has not been time to form a correct idea how far the quantity delivered is for immediate consumption; but the opinion appears to become more general, that the demand will continue, and advancing prices ensue. The sales of Coffee have also been very extensive, but the advance in price is very gradual. the home consumption of this article being very inconsiderable. Pimento has improved in price from 3d. to 4d. per lb. within the last month. Cocoa of good quality is scarce, and consequently commands very high prices. Rum and Dye Woods without any alteration deserving of notice. The safe arrival of a third fleet from the East Indies, consisting of 17 ships from China, and 14 from Beugal and Madras, renders an ample supply of almost all articles of East India Merchandize: the great demand for Pepper, however, through the last mouth, has caused an advance in price of that article of 2d. to Sd. per lb. with a prospect of a still further advance. The Congo Teas of last sale have also been in considerable demand at 2d, per lb, advance, and Hysons at 5d. to 6d. per lb. advance. Indigos and Picce Goods have not been in request, nor subject to any alteration in price. About 12,000 bags of Coffee were sold last week at an advance of about 10s. per cwt. on a previous sale in July; being Coffee particularly adapted for the Dutch market, and prices having lately improved in Amsterdam, with a prospect of being maintained, has caused the present prices. The Bourbon Coffee attained from 95s. to 109s. Java, 101s. to 117s. and Mocha, 61. 10s. to 71. 18s. per cwt. 22,000 bags of Rice were also sold at 26s. to 41s. per cwt. and some fine Madagascars at 503. to 71s. 6d. per cwt. and 3,450 bags of Java Sugars are expected to command 1d. to 14d. per lb. higher price than last sale. The Teas NEW MONTHLY MAO.—No, s. VOL II, 2 D 194 Commercial Report. [Sept. 1, for exportation being now permitted to be taken out of the warehouse without pay ing the duty, as heretofore, will cause the exporters to extend their orders. "Cotton Wool has fluctuated 24. to 3d. per lb. in the course of the month past, aecording as report assigned facility or protraction to the pending negociations at Ghent; and at the close of the month, the high price was maintained. Pernams having been sold at 2s. 10d. per lb. and 2s 11d. demanded by the holders. A fleet from the Brazils, bringing about 20,000 bags, will not prevent the thigh price being maintained, without a prospect of a resumption of intercourse with Carolina and Georgia. Tobaccos, from the extreme reduced supply, sup, ort a gradual advance, nor will any thing less than the official intelligence of the direct intercourse with Virginia and Maryland, being actually resumed, subject this article to any depression. Pot and Petri Ashes are also becoming very scarce; but, as large supplies of this article are obtained from British America, a medium price may be main t in d. I a tic Produce, Hemp and Flax have remained with but little variation. Hemp has been in request, and obtained about 21. per ton advance. St. Petersburgh Clean having been sold the early part of the month at 521, and 541. is now demanded. Haximinally supports its price, but the sales are very limited; the buyers so rationally expecting a decline. Tallow, in the course of the month, bad declined bs. to 65. per cwt. Yellow Candle having been sold at 77-. to 78s. per cwt. and buyers offering only 75s. to 76s, but a continued prevalence of westerly winds, for several weeks pat, having prevented arrivals from the Baltic, and the sup, lies that had arrived this season having got principally into the hands of speculators, a temporary advance has been submitted to by such persons who have wanted Tallows for immediate consumption; and the price is again 32s. to 846. for Yellow Candle, and 77s. to 78s. for Soap Tallow. We insinuated in our last Number, that Tallow had to go down to 60s. or under, before it could be consider d as approximating to its fair.proportionate value, with all other great staple articles of merchandize: and such of our readers as are interested in the price of this great commodity, will do well to reflect upon the disproportionate high price it bears over every other article of commerce, and endeavour to ascertain whether it results from real or speculative causes. The importation last season was about 40,000 casks; it is now positively as certain that the importation this season will amount to 55,000, and probably 65 o 70,000 casks, and this, as we have stated in a previous Number, come into a competition with a supply of the same article, the produce of the country, to an indefinite extent. Add also the abundant supplies of Oils from all the sources of Greenland, Davis's Strait, and South Sea Fisheries, under these circumstances, to conclude, that the exorbitant price of Tallow can be maintained, must be to yield all rational calculation to the capricious whim of speculation, which, although it may predominate for a time, must ultimately yield to a legitimate standard value. The only source of consolation the speculators in this asticle now seem to have, is to report, that advices from St. Petersburgh represent Tallow as rising in price, in that market to which suggestions, all rational persons immediately conclude, that there are speculators in St. Petersburgh, equally reprehensible with speculators in London. Bullion Exchange operations and the Funds, as will be seen by the annexed lists, have been subject to considerable fluctuation, and the Funds and Exchanges how remain at a very considerable depression, compared with the early part of the month; whilst Bullion has experienced an advance, though not in proportion to the depression in the Exchange. This alteration in the course of Exchange at first created some degree of surprize, as some persons were expecting that the Exchange would preponderate generally above its intrinsic par with the respective marks of Exchange operations. But, until the Bank of England resumes the payment of its Notes in Specie, it is not probable the courses of Exchange will attain their respective ars. The maintaining a large Military Force in Belgium, the establishment of the Electorate Government of Hanover, and the redemption of the Joint Papers, Issues of the British, Russian, and Prussian Governments, will, for a considerable time to come, cause extensive amounts of Bills on the British Treasury to be issued on the Continent, and to an amount that may be more than equal to meet the demand for payment of all legitimate commercial transactions, and render the utmost circumspection necessary, on the part of the merchant, to prevent a loss by the fluctuation that will, for some time to come, in all probability prevail.
