COMMERCIAL REPORT.-JULY 10, 1820.

Sugar. The demand for Sugar still continues upon a limited scale, and prices so low as will not reimburse the cultivator. For some time more activity was seen in the market, but notwithstanding the reduced state of the stock on hand, and the lateness and falling off in the crops in almost all the windward and leeward Islands, still sugar continues at a low rate, owing to the great pressure upon the commercial interests of the country, and the lessened demand from the Continent, which is now chiefly supplied with Sugar from the colonies of other nations. The delivery of Sugar from the warehouses for the last six months has been about 86,000 casks. There seems no immediate prospect of any permanent improvement in the Sugar market, so as to render the growth thereof productive to the planter. The deficiency of the present crop in the Islands cannot be less than 45,000 hhds. -Cotton-Considerable sales have lately been effected in Cotton, and yet the prices remain stationary. Indeed, nothing else can be expected from the immense stock on hand, and supplies daily receiving. The stock on hand is at present estimated at 484,000 bags; equal to two years consumption at the present rate. The increase of the imports from the United States, when compared with last year, is 77,000 bags, and from the Brazils 28,500 bags, while the decrease from the East Indies amounts to 83,600 bags; but then the quantity is not in the same proportion, because the packages from the East Indies are one half smaller than those from the United States. Coffee. The demand for Coffee has for some time past been very considerable, owing to the orders from the Continent, where the consumpt continues to increase. The consequence is, that the prices are advanced greatly, and the stock on hand much reduced, notwithstanding that the supplies lately received have been very considerable. The advance on Coffee arises altogether from the increased consumpt and demand, and from the real diminution of the stock on hand, and not from speculation. -Rice.-The inquiry for Rice has been trifling, notwithstanding an increased demand on the Continent, but which is now supplied at lower rates than we can afford it through other channels. Grain of almost all kinds may be said to be on the decline, and unless the unsettled state of the weather continue for some time, so as to protract the harvest and injure it, there is no prospect of improvement in the grain market. Tobacco remains exceedingly dull, and nothing but a reduction in price here can bring any further Continental orders of importance. On other articles of commerce there is no material al

teration.

We regret we cannot state any material improvement in the general trade of this country. The little improvement in some foreign markets is more than counterbalanced by the distressed state of the internal trade of the country; which distress is not the work of a day, nor to be removed in a day. Time only can alleviate this distress, and remove its Causes. Neither the efforts of Government nor individuals can. The labours of the legislature may disclose our distress and its causes, but we fear they can do little to remedy or remove it. It is in vain to look to old markets where we formerly enjoyed the monopoly, but where it is now the business, the inclination, and the duty, of both government and the "people to attend to their own interests and their own wants. From new markets alone we can hope for effectual relief. These may yet be found; but the best of these will not long remain in our power.

Severe as is the pressure upon all our colonial concerns, it will become severer, unless some speedy remedy is devised to check the danger which assails them. The cultivation of the colonies of other nations will, if carried on with the rapidity which it at present is, ruin ours. We must stop the slave trade or our colonies are undone. The measures we have long pursued and are yet pursuing, will never accomplish this object. These only

aggravate the evil and augment its strength. This trade is greatly increased increasing it is trebled in extent and quadrupled in the misery which flows from it. Of its enore! mous extent the following document is an awful proof. In the House of Commons, it ap pears, £54,000 nearly was paid for captured negroes, at the rate of £40 a head, for last year only. All the navy of England all the navies of Europe will never check it while Africa wishes to carry it on; and while the colonies of our rivals benefit so much by it, as the increased cultivation of Cotton in the United States affords such a striking proof, These governments may enact what laws they please the violation of these will be winked While Africa continues to sell slaves, other nations will buy them. Africa must be taught to abandon that trade, or it never will be abandoned; and till this is done, our colonial prosperity cannot be calculated upon-nay, their ruin is not far distant.
