Raw Although such an improvement in our trade as would give employment to the whole labouring class of the community has not as yet taken place, we feel no doubt that our commerce is gradually emerging from that state of depression into which it was plunged by the poverty of our foreign connections, and the over-stock of the markets.Cottons remain much the same as in our last, the great sales at the India-House having slackened the demand; Sugars are lower, about 8s., and the deliveries for home consumption very large, but fine foreign sugars are rather higher; Coffees have advanced a little, particularly Java Coffee, on account of its scarcity; Rice is at nearly nominal prices, having no demand; that for Tallow is reviving, and increases in price from its scarcity; Hemp has little varied; and Flax declines; Oils also are declined; Tobacco continues heavy, no great sales having lately taken place; Brandy and Hollands continue heavy, though Rum has recently revived. STATE OF THE MARKETS. Corn Exchange, Monday, Jan. 19. 1818.-Owing to the late contrary winds, we hare had but a few fresh arrivals, and those chiefly from our own coasts. Fine Wheat fully supported last Monday's prices, but the other kind sold very heavily, and rather cheaper. Barley of fine quality continues in dewand, and Malts meet ready sale. Rye, Pease, Beans, and all other grain, no alteration. In and 20th of January, 1818. BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED. Marsden, W. N. Salford-lane, corn-dealer. L.
