There can be no doubt, but what the restoration of peace to Europe, produced the reduction of gold from 5 10 0 to 4 1 6. The greatest quantity of gold sworn to for exportation, was, in June, 21,856 ounces; of silver, in July, 257,223 ounces; at which time the price of the precious metals was rapidly falling. The progress of the COURSE of EXCHANGE has experienced an answerable sensation; we take as instances, ring country of war among our customers. The preparations for invading Russia in 1812, and for resisting that invasion, occupied all the money, that otherwise would have been engaged in Commerce. Those who bore arms, with their connections, and friends in short, the whole Continent was interested too strongly to think of merchan dize. Violent extremes of hope and fear, are utter enemies to trade. This, however, passed-It will naturally be concluded, that the free export of commodities the stocks on hand, at the close of it. The during the last year, has greatly diminished following are a few articles of comparison, SUGAR. Brit. Pl. The general result is, that the warehouses in which foreign articles of import had been lodged, are now in great measure, cleared; or are clearing:-also, that much of the stock that formerly was spoken of as over-loading our warehouses, i. e. of British origin, has also been removed, and has either accompanied the foreign, or freely gone elsewhere to other markets. If it were in our power, to examine the warehouses of the East India Company, &c. we should, doubtless, find the same causes of clearance prevailing; and goods to the amount of many millions sterling in value, either moved, or moving, from places which they had too long occupied. Such reports, will no doubt, be laid before parliament at the proper time. It cannot be supposed that the returns for these exports, are as yet received by our manufacturers, generally, or are even in a forward progress of remittance to our merchants, to that advantage which will be experienced in the course of the year. Many of those goods, though sent abroad, have not found purchasers; of those which have found purchasers, a considerable part has not yet reached the consumer. Now, the consumer buys on a credit; the dealer, therefore, buys on a credit also; and till this credit be expired, returns cannot be realized. The general poverty of the mass of the population on the Continent, obliges them to content themselves with coarse goods for the present: and until they can obtain remittances and cash for their commodities, prudence enjoins their submission to the dictates of necessity. There is, therefore, much to be done to bring commerce up to its proper level, and even to find customers suitable for what superior descriptions of goods this country has to sell. STATE OF TRADE, Lloyd's Coffee House, January 21, 1815. THE market for COTTON has experienced some fluctuations: the supply, on one hand, has been but moderate; the stocks on sale are far enough from redundant; this produces some demand from those who must replace what they have worked up on the other hand, is the probability of purchasing the commodity at a lower rate, in consequence of the quantities ready to start from America, on the first signal importing the ratification of the Treaty of peace. When these vessels arrive-and they may arrive many in company, the price must give way; but should the supply arrive in single ships, or with any noticeable interval between them, the owners will maintain their own prices. The present average may be known, from our reporting Pernams at 2s. 6d. very good: slightly inferior under Maranhams and Bahias 2s. 3d. Common Bengals 12d. to 13d. The Bourbons at the India sale fetched 2s. 23d. to 2s. 34d. On the whole the market has been dull; and the prices at Liverpool declining have had a corresponding effect on the prices at London. It is conjectured, that nearly half of what has been sold, has been bought to replace what had been agreed for, but could not be delivered. No disposition to speculate has manifested itself, in any quarter. SUGARS have of late found a heavy market. Considerable parts of what were offered for sale, were withdrawn, those holders who were able, preferring the chance of better offers on future occasions. The depression was to the amount of 4s. or 5s. a few days ago: it is now a shade better; but there are many holders who wish to relieve themselves from their stocks on hand, though at some depression. Inasmuch, then, as we have seen foreign sugars, &c. go home to their proper countries, and must not expect to see them RUM is not held in such vast quantities replaced by fresh importations, to any as to oblige the holders to submit to lower amount, so we must prepare ourselves for prices; it therefore maintains its late curcertain articles, furnished or supplied by rency, and, according to all appearances, America, being no longer sought for in seems likely to coutique much about where Britain, as their depôt, but going direct to it is The demand of course is limitted; the places of their destination. These will and the business really done, is not extennot be in a state of finished manufac-sive. BRANDY remains as before: GENEVA ture; but will be the raw material for the has somewhat revived, but nothing worthy industry of the Continent to work up, and of particular notice improve, to suit our markets. The draught from this island, therefore, will decrease; and the import to supply that draught will decrease with it. But, here we must interrupt these speculations for the present. We must uow return to our regular monthly labour, from which we have digressed; induced by the peculiarity of circumstances. COFFEE shares the general fate of this kind of uncertainty, amounting not quite to a stagnation, yet little short of it. The quantity of coffee brought forward by the East India Company, has greatly affected the market for the West India article.The sale consisted of above 8,000 bales: the Bourbon sold lower from 6s. to 8; the Java sold 10s. lower;-say, Bourbon 86s. to 91s.: Java 90s. to 94s. This proportion of course, determined the holders of the Curacoa Coffee; which brought $5s. to 868. some Dutch realized 93s. 6d. good middling up to 102. TOBACCO has lately been brought to market; but with no great spirit. Sales have been effected sparingly from the same causes as abated other articles. NAVAL stores continue to decline: Rough Turpentine done so low as 188. Little business doing. Say, Tar Ss. to 4s. lower: Rosiu 2s. lower. Pitch not higher, but feeling depression less than the others. HEMP, FLAX, TALLOW, and all Baltic articles dull of sale. The former prices cannot be realized: business nominal. SPICES decline considerably: Company's Pepper at about 12d. to 12 d. Privilege 10d. to 11d. Cloves decline 4d. to 6d. Cinnamon and Nutmegs a shade lower. The quantity of NANKEENS put up by the Company, is no less than-775,800 pieces: 7 yards in length: sold for, 7s. 6d. to 9s. 3d: 44 yards to 4s. 6d. or 5s. The market for PROVISIONS feels very little demand, or even enquiry for Irish BEEF, unless at very low prices, or of very superior description. Reduced rates have taken place in PORK; and on those terms there is some demand for the supply of shipping but, while Government continues to discharge Transports, &c. from its service, at the rate (in some weeks) of 250, the owners cannot tell into what employ to turn them at the moment. Bacon is very heavy: the prices unsettled, but some business doing, and proposals made. Butter in demand: the appearance of hardweather supports it; but, mild weather will lower it,-as severe weather, supposing it to continue, or to increase, would proportionately heighten the price.
