Average Prices of Corn.

565

Greater numbers of sheep have been lost in the late snow storms in the north, than ever before heard of at this season of the year. On this head, the sheep farmers would do well to consult the New Farmers' Calendar, and particularly the General Treatise on Cattle.

Both fat cattle and stores continue heavy of sale in the country, and at low prices. It is said, that carcases, both of mutton and beef, have been sold as low as four pence and three pence per pound But shortness of keep may, in the spring, considerably

advance the price of fat meat.

MONTHLY REPORT OF THE STATE OF COMMERCE. London, 21st December, 1807.

IT

T has long been urged by the West India Merchants, that a forcible interruption should be put to the conveyance of the enemy's produce by Americans. The report of the West India Committee, delivered to the House of Commons in July last, strongly recommends this measure, and its adoption would have obtained the approkation of the majority of our merchants. But Government have acted differently. They consider our American trade of too great value, to be endangered by any act which it is in our power to avoid; and, ins cad of prohibiting the Americans from being the carriers of French and Spanish produce, they have permitted the continuance of this traffic, under the double restriction of calling at a British port and paying a British duty. The object of these restrictions is to burthen the enemy's produce with charges which will make it cost as much, or more, than our own produce, when imported into the continent. We expect that the result will give life once more to our expiring West India trade; and that sugars, coffee, and cotton, will fetch prices, at least, to pay the planter for his labour, which at this present time, we are sor y to say, is not the case. The West India docks and warehouses are loaded with produce, and no sale except for home consumption. Raw sugar sells from 52s. to 74s. per cwt. and refined from 41. 6s to 51 8s. per cwt. Coffee, very dull in sale, at 70s to 110s. per cwt. wool, from 16d. to 21d. per lb. It is expected that no additional duty will be laid on American produce, conveyed through British ports to the continent, except on the article of cotton. The object of this duty is undoubtedly to protect and benefit our own manufactures.

Cotton

We are well assured, that within a few days past, goods have been cleared out at cur Custom House as if for a neutral port, but in reality for France; and shipped by the merchants under a licence signed by Talleyrand himself, and transferred to this country, to ensure their safe landing in a French port. We hope our government will look into this French manœuvre.

t

Large remittances have lately arrived from South America by the vessels which brought home our army, and the early shippers of goods from this country have made very profitable sales at Buenos Ayres.

We are sorry to find by the Emperor Alexander's declaration, that Rus-ia is to be added to the long list of our enemies; and consequently, all sorts of Russian produce, as iron, hemp, flax, timber, tallow, cordage, &c. must rise very considerably in our markets; already the ill effects of it have been fel in the city, by the failure of sɔn e rich and respectable houses concerned in that trade, We sincerely wish it may stop here, but fear the consequences of a Russian war will be of the most unpleasant naturė to the manufacturers of Manchester and its neighbourhood.

The East India Tea sale is now going on, and prices are something lower than last year; the quantity is upwards of six millions of pounds weight, (of which we gave our readers the particulas in a former report.) At their Sugar sale on the 1st instant, 20,471 bags sold from 28s. to 55s per cwt. which is a good price under present circumstances. And at their Cotton sale, 6016 bags, (in privilego) sold from 94. to 1434. per lb.
