COMMERCIAL REPORT.

COLONIAL PRODUCE.—Sugars.—British plantation sugars have been in steady demand, and maintain their former prices. Foreign sugars have continued to be inquired for, but, being scarce, few sales have been made. Fine white Brazil has obtained 48s., and yellow Havannah 44s. per cwt. The stock of British plantation sugar is now 10,000 casks more than last year at this time; present prices 14s. per cwt. lower per Gazette average. Cotton.-The market is in a state of inactivity. The sales during the last week amount to about 200 bags, viz. (duty paid) 16 bags Paras, 144d. a 15d.; 100 bags Mina Geraes, ordinary 13d. and 10 fair 15d.; 37 bags Smyrna, very good, 123d. The import is, 71 bags Rio, 78 Demerara, 31 New Providence, 30 Jamaica, 31 Buenos Ayres, 826 Charleston, 4040 Calcutta-total 5107 bags. Coffee.-One public sale took place last week, consisting principally of St Domingo, which was nearly all taken in at 130s.; but that price was paid for a few lots, and the private transactions have been at the same rate. Dutch and ordinary Jamaica coffee are in moderate request for home consumption; the market, however, on the whole, has been flat. The stock of West India coffee is now 3160 tons, being 1280 less than at this time last year; present prices' 5s. per cwt. lower. Rums have been in steady demand, and strong Jamaica is rather higher. The present stock of rum is 18,095 puncheons, and price of proofs 2s. 5d. per gallon. Stock last year same date, 14,933 puncheons, and price of proofs 3s. 1d. Tea has been in steady demand. Bohea has brought an advance of from 6d. to 7d. per lb. on the prices of the last sale; Hyson, 24d. to 4d. advance; Twankay, d. to 14d.; and Congou and other descriptions from the cost price to Id. profit. In Tobacco there has been but little done, and prices remain steady. Fish Oils continue in trifling demand, and are rather lower. Seed oils are stationary.

EUROPEAN PRODUCE.-Tallow has been in demand; there are buyers of Y. C. at 56s. on the spot for cash, and at 54s. 6d. for early shipments from St Petersburgh. Hemp and Flax, and Brandy and Geneva, are without alteration.

BRITISH MANUFACTURES.-Letters from Yorkshire continue to state, that an improvement has taken place in trade. The demand for black cloths, kerseymeres, and other articles of mourning, has created some bustle, but has not produced much employment to the weavers, owing to the large quantities of these articles that were in the warehouse.-Feb. 8.
