MONTHLY REGISTER. COMMERCIAL REPORT.-12th January, 1821. Sugar. SINCE our last there has been a considerable demand for Sugar. The quanfity sold has been extensive, and the prices have accordingly improved. Whether this is merely a temporary rise, or the forerunner of greater improvements, is difficult at this moment to determine. The stock is considerably reduced, in comparison with what it was at the commencement of last year, while the internal consumpt has certainly increased. There are favourable appearances for a progressive improvement, of which the Colonial interests stand so much in need. Considerable demand has also taken place in the refined market, principally, however, it is believed, on speculation, the prices having sunk below a medium value. The accounts from Russia, owing to some Commercial regulations not so favourable as had been anticipated, are rather of a discouraging nature. While the late advance has been maintained, the Sugar market has again become less animated-Still, the appearance of the Sugar market is, from all appearances, favourable for an advance.Cotton. The market for Cotton continues very dull, and prices declining. The stock has accumulated, notwithstanding the consumpt of the country has increased. The appearances for the Cotton market are by no means encouraging, and it is probable that a still farther reduction in price will take place; if the demand, however, continues the same as it has been, there is a chance, from the already reduced prices, that the farther depreciation in value cannot be great. We understand that large quantities of Cotton are now coming to this country on consignment, a thing which neither augurs well for the market from whence it came, nor for that to which it has come Coffee. The market for Coffee has for sometime past been dull and heavy. The principal demand is for the home consumpt. The navigation to the continent and northern parts of Europe being closed by the winter, occasions a greater degree of dullness in the Coffee market than might otherwise take place. As the season for shipping advances, it is probable a revival may take place both in the demand and prices. Corn. In the London market, nothing is doing of any importance, owing to the navigation of the Thames being impeded by ice. Over the country, the grain market may be considered as declining, and the prices are certainly ruinously low for the farmer and landholder. It is to be hoped that prices will improve, otherwise the present rental cannot be paid. Large sales of Sugar, Cotton, &c. advertised at the India House, have been postponed on account of the excessive dullness of the markets. Indigo alone keeps up in price, and is in demand. The Rum market is uncommonly dull. Brandy is looking up; but Geneva remains without variation. The price of Tallow is maintained-all other articles remain in such a state as to merit no particular observation. In our next, we hope to be able to give the general exports and imports of the Empire, accompanied with some observations on the trade and commerce of Great Britain for last year.
