MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. ALL the manufactures and the shipping adventures, dependent on the flave trade, are now entirely at a fland, in confequence of the fuccefs with which Mr. Wilberforce's perfevering endeavours for its abolition are at length crowned in the House of Commons. It has extenfively affected the orders to the manufacturers, in Lancashire, who were employed chiefly in making cotton-cloths, fit only for the ufe of the Negroes, and for the African market. At Birmingham, the manufacturers who make toys, arms, &c. for the fame market, find themselves likewise, for the fame caufe, disappointed of a part of their usual orders. It has an unfavourable effect too on the present activity of fome of our woollen and coarser linen manufactures. It tends to raise the prices of Weft India commodities, and probably to diminish the difpofition of our merchants to advance money for the clearing and culture of lands in the West Indies. The delay in the arrival of the China fleet, has occafioned a rife of full 2 per cent. in the retail prices of teas. The prices were also higher at the company's laft fales. And we have been told, that they were influenced by certain monopolizing fpeculations of the principal dealers. There has been lately, from fimilar caufes, and from an increafe in the demand for the American market, a rife in the prices of calicoes. Some of the Hull, Newcastle, and Leith fhips, have begun to arrive from the whale-fishery, in Davis's Streights. It has been in general very fuccefsful this year. The Norwegian fishermen have been equally fuccefsful. Their fuccefs has afforded great relief, from the extreme fcarcity by which they have for the two last years grievously fuffered. Mr. Boulton, of Birmingham, after coining 59 tons of dollars into crown-tokens for the bank of England, has executed a fimilar coinage of 800,000 dollars for the bank of Ireland, which circulates them as tokens for 6s. each. He is about to export, by permiffion from the parliament, an establishment for coinage in Denmark, upon a contract with the Danish government. The total amount of the poor's rate in England and Wales for twelve months, ending May 9th, 1804, was 5,246,5061. 138. 7. The average rate of the levies for the counties of England was 4s. 6d. in the pound, on the rents. The average rate in Wales was 75. 38. in the pound. Above 10,000l. a year, are collected from the public, in London, by beggars in the streets. The total value of the imports into Ruffia, by the Baltic and by the White Sea, in the year 1802, was 33,533,150 roubles. The total value of the exports for the fame year was 51,713,151 roubles. Among the imports were gold and filver, in coin and bars, to the value 4,000,000 of roubles. The prime coft of the best port wine is 721. per pipe. A pipe contains 138 gallons, or about 561 dozens. It never costs the confumer, who buys it in bottles, less than at the rate of fomewhat more than 1ool. fterling, a pipe. "Within these last thirteen years, more than 30 millions fterling has been paid for grain imported. The French have for fome time occupied Meppen, for the purpofe of intercepting the paffage of English goods from Embden, into the interior part of Germany; but the King of Pruffia protects the trade of Embden fo vigorously, that all goods fent from Embden, with fuitable certificates, now pafs free from feizure, and are refpected as Puffian property. All commercial letters between Norway and England now pafs by the way of Gottenburg. The proper effect of muriatic acid on the linens and cottons bleached with it, is about to be clearly demonftrated to the public, by the law, procured by Mr. Fofter, which enjoins, that the word "MURIATIC" fhall be confpicupufly ftamped on linens bleached with preparations on this acid.
