COLONIAL PRODUCE.-Sugar. The market has been rather heavy since our last, and a small reduction in prices has taken place. The Refined market equally dull, notwithstanding the very limited supplies. Coffee. In this article there has been much business done during the last two weeks, and prices of British Plantation and Foreign have advanced 2s. to 3s. per cwt. Good ordinary Jamaica, 75s. 6d. to 78s; fine ordinary, 79s. to 83s.; middling, 80s. to 88s. Dutch Coffee has advanced proportionally, and with equal briskness. The Coffee of the last India Sale went off, in some instances, at a small advance, but there was no general improvement. The Stock of Coffee in this country is at present very small, compared with that of some preceding years, yet too great to lead us to expect any permanent improvement in prices. Cotton has been in very limited demand since our last, and prices declining. Pernambucco, 2s. Od.; Maranham, 234d.; Mina, 211d.; Carriacou, 22.; Sea Island, 2s. 24d. to 2s. 3d.; Bengal, in the house, 93d. to 114d.; Surat, 14 d. to 15 d. The total imports into London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, during the last month, were 46,178 bags, being 9591 bags less than during May 1816. Tobacco.-In consequence of the contract with the French Government, considerable parcels of ordinary have been sold about 8d. and under that rate, to the extent of 4 to 500 hogsheads; but no alteration in prices can, be stated, our market currency continuing too high for the export orders. Rum has rather improved in value. Rice. The demand continues extensive, and prices advance with great rapidity: good new Carolina has been sold at 45s. to 48s.; the export demand chiefly for France. EUROPEAN PRODUCE-Hemp, Flax, and Tallow, in very limited demand, without variation in prices. Irish Provisions continue in considerable request, at improving prices. We learn, with pleasure, from the Manufacturing Counties, that trade is reviving considerably. The manufacturers are now giving 8s. 6d. for the manufacturing of Calicoes, which they could have got done last year at 5s. 6d. The following duties have been paid to government by the twelve principal Fire Offices, from January 5, 1816, to January 5, 1817: Premiums of Insurance at Lloyd's-Guernsey and Jersey, 15s. 9d.

THE weather for the last fortnight of May, and down to the middle of the present month, has been cold and rather wet. On the 10th, a thunder storm, with very frequent and loud reports, passed over this city and its vicinity, but without occasioning, so far as we have heard, any considerable damage to the buildings, or to the crops, which are not yet sufficiently advanced to be lodged by the heavy falls of hail and rain with which it was accompanied. The season is yet too early to allow of any approach to certainty in forming an estimate of the growing crops; but their appearance in Scotland, with the exception of dry and warm soils seeded with wheat crop 1815, is by no means very promising, either in regard to the abundance of the produce, or the period of its maturation. The oat-crops, in particular, if we might venture to hazard an opinion, must be both scanty and late. All kinds of corn have risen since our last, and are still likely to rise, unless the season become more genial than it has been hitherto, at least until the earlier harvests of the Continent of Europe can come into the market. A considerable quantity of wheat, of inferior quality it is said, has been exported to France, and large shipments have been made from this country to Ireland for the last six months, so that the glut and depression, noticed in our last Number, have now passed away.-Butchers' meat here, and at Morpeth, may bring about 7s. per stone avoirdupois very good beef at Morpeth somewhat more. The lateness of the pastures, which have improved much within the last fortnight, has prevented any briskness in the demand for lean stock. In the Edinburgh market, oatmeal, the chief article of food among the poor in Scotland, sells at 4s. 8d. per stone of 171⁄2 lb. avoirdupois, the quartern loaf at 16d., and potatoes (old) at 16d. per peck of 28 lb. 16th June. Note The boll of wheat, beans, and pease, is about 4 per cent. more than half a quarter, or 4 Winchester bushels; that of barley and oats nearly 6 Winchester bushels. |
