COMMERCIAL REPORT.

COLONIAL PRODUCE.-Sugars. The demand for Muscovades has been languid during the month, and purchases have been made a shade lower; the demand at present seems suspended, buyers anticipating a further reduction on the next public sale. Refined goods continue with little variation Cotton. There has been a considerable demand for cottons since our last, and sales have gone off rather briskly. The accounts of a great revival in the Liverpool market have had a favourable impression on that of London; the stock at the latter place is trifling, with the exception of East India descriptions. The import into Britain during last month was 60,063 bags. Coffee. This article has declined considerably since our last report. On Friday last, a public sale of 132 casks B. P, and 306 bags Brazil went off at fluctuating prices; good Demerara was taken in at 142s. 8d.; good ordinary sold so low as 120s. 6d.; fine ordinary Jamaica realized 138s. 6d. Rum.Since our last, Government have contracted for 150,000 gallons of rum at 2s 11d. and the consequent advance in the general market may be stated at 1d. per gallon for Leewards, and 2d. per gallon on low Jamaicas. Tobacco.-The demand for this article has again revived; 300 hhds. were purchased on Tuesday last; Virginia inferior at 6d. and 7d. Strips, 8d. to 9d. The quantity shipped to the Continent has been inconsiderable; holders are, therefore, sanguine of a renewed request for export. Oils. The prices may be quoted lower, and sales heavy at the reduction. Greenland has fallen L.1 to L.2. Southern has also declined considerably; 95 tons fine pale Cape whale oil sold last week at L. 30, and L. 39, 10s.

EUROPEAN PRODUCE.--Tallow. By public sale to day, 100 casks Petersburgh white candle tallow sold at 60s. 6d. and 61s.; 85 serons S. American do. 65s. to 67s. Hemp is quoted about L.1 per ton lower. In Flax, little business has been done. Brandy. 50 puncheons Cognac, middling quality, sold last week at 4s. 7d. to 4s. 9d. The demand for Geneva continues languid.

British Trade and Manufactures.-The number of vessels arrived at the port of Liverpool (exclusive of coasters) in 1817 was 3100; in 1818, the number was 3817, making an increase of 717, and 233 more than in 1815. The number of vessels from the East Indies was 34, comprising 26,852 tons. In the port of Hull, the increase of last year over the preceding was 601 vessels, 80,960 tons. The increase of receipts at the custom-house there, was L. 129,000. By the returns of duties of customs and excise at Belfast for the last two years, there appears an increase in favour of 1818 of L. 62,618, 10s. 3 d.

We understand, that, owing to the low price of Bengal cotton-wool, and the rapid improvements in machinery, our manufacturers at Manchester and Glasgow are enabled to supply the East India market with the inferior descriptions of cotton cloths at a cheaper rate than the Asiatic natives themselves; and that immense shipments of the manufactured article will probably be made to that quarter during the present year.-February 11.
