Finding that our occasional commercial notices have been approved of, and their continuance es teemed by those who arc best qualified to form a correct estimate, as likely to prove serviceable to the trading interests of the kingdom, it is our intention to devote, regularly, a portion of our columns to this subject. Every one is ready to deplore the present depressed state of our commerce, but how few are willing to employ their time in investigating the causes of the general distress ; and, of those who may be willing, how few, comparatively, are qua lified to do justice to so important a subject? We are willing, however, to hope, that in our labours to serve the commercial interests of the country, the assistance of the best qualified will not be withheld from us, and that we may promise ourselves the countenance and support of many, who can greatly contribute to the success of our labours, by giving us frequent and early notice of every thing calculated to affect the commercial horizon. A brief survey of its present general aspect, by tracing effects to their causes, may, in the mean time, be advantageous ; fur nish matter of reflection to the inquisitive ; and prove serviceable even to the practical merchant, who de sires to confine his speculations within the bounds of prudence, and to maintain his character for honour and integrity. The war of twenty-five years from which Europe has so recently been delivered, proved the mean of laying open to Great Britain the most productive channels of commercial wealth, by rendering her sole mistress of the ocean, and, consequently, the de pository of the produce of the Indies. In possession of such advantages, it was not in the nature of things that the most rigorous prohibitive measures on the part of the enemy could, for any length of time, affect her prosperity. On the contrary, they only tended to increase those very resources which it was vainly endeavoured to obstruct or destroy ; and such an immense accumulation of property was created by the monopoly we enjoyed, that we were enabled to carry on, with facility, the greatest financial and mercantile operations. Vast sums were raised, as well for the service of Government as for the exigen cies of our merchants, and an impulse was given to our whole system altogether unexampled in the an nals of modern Europe. But at length peace return ed, and with it Colonies were restored, and our ex clusive maritime dominion was of course relinquish ed ; other nations were admitted to partake of our commercial advantages, and a new order of things was created, more consonant to a state of peace ; but different, widely different, from that exclusive monopoly we had previously maintained. Without relinquishing our commercial pre-eminence, we con sented to forego our supremacy. In so doing, how ever, our Statesmen, as also our merchants and the nation at large, should have contemplated the neces sity of contracting our establishments. The ibrmer must have been aware that their financial operations would be diminished ; the latter that, as their profits decreased, so should also their expenses be curtailed. Admitted, as we were, to a free commercial inter course with all the continental nations, we were im periously called upon to regulate our financial sys tem upon a scale more suitable to the changed cir cumstances of these we had to deal with : in a word, to descend gradually from the colossal elevation we had attained to a level with our less wealthy compe titors in trade, by reducing our whole system, but more especially our extensive circulating medium, which is incompatible with, and greatly dispropor tioned to that of other nations. To a dereliction of such prudential measures a considerable portion of our commercial embarrassments may be ascribed, though other causes have co-operated in producing the effects we now deplore. These we shall have fre quent opportunities to point out is detailing the vari ous fluctuations which occur in the value of all com modities. The arrangements we have made to obtain the most valuable information upon all subjects con nected with trade will, we trust, render our commu nications both interesting and useful to the commer cial world. As the operations of the STOCK EXCHANGE, Though not of absolutely primary importance in a commercial point of view, generally aftbrd some cri terion of the state of the public mind, and of what is termed the Money.market, when divested of the false colouring thrown over it by the extensive fictitious transactions of which it is but too often made the medium, we intend, independently of our regular daily quotations of the public Funds, frequently to enter into a more minute, and we trust, impartial de tail of the business carried on in that important mart of financial operations. In a well-ordered state of things, and during times of profound peace, the fluc tuations in the price of Stocks should be inconsidera ble ; their intrinsic value being materially affected only by circumstances calculated to shake public con fidence, and which, of course, but rarely occur. Our Readers are, however, aware of the important varia tions to which they have lately been subject, and from which some might infer, that the state of the public mind is unsettled ; but they flow from another cause—a superabundance of floating capital, and a more than adequate supply of funded as well as un funded property which have not yet found their way into regular channels. The operations of the Stock Exchange were not, last week, distinguished by any remarkable occur rence, prices having continued tolerably steady—•the Funds were expected, in ele beginning of the week, to give way, but we rather incline to an opposite opi nion since, as from the untoward appearance of com merce, capitalists can find no encouragement to em ploy their funds in trade ; money will necessarily flow into those channels which, at least, expose them to little risk, and a greater demand for stock will be occasioned. ROYAL EXCHANGE. Under this head we shall frequently give accurate statements of die transactions in Foreign Exchanges —a subject of the highest importance as regarding our relations with foreign countries, but which has, we conceive, been too frequently blended with the intricate question now under discussion, of the sus pensionof cash payments. It will ultimately be found, that when the Bank restrictions are rescinded, the rate of Foreign Exchanges will be more in our favour; but as the period for the resumption of payments in specie appears, at present, to be distant, we shall not unnecessarily agitate the subject. With respect to what is termed the par of Exchange, the transactions of our eminent merchants, who devote large capitals to that branch, have a constant tendency to assimi late the price of bills to the real and not the nominal par, which comprises the equalizing of the value of bills as well as of the respective coins of the different trading communities : we shall also, under this head, detail all the promiscuous intelligence of a commer cial nature not comprised in any other article. The want of confidence in the mercantile world, noticed above, will of course be felt soonest in trans actions, solely founded upon credit ; and it can there fore not be expected that much business can be doing in foreign exchange ; we have therefore to report a very limited demand for Bills of any description, Iwith the exception of those of undoubted respectabi lity. The following is a statement of the real prices l a t which business was transacted yesterday: Amster dam 11 6 to 61, money and bills ; Antwerp, 11 81; Hamburgh, 34 11 to 34 '2 ; Paris, money, at 24 20 ; bills, at 24 10; Frankfort, 1411 to 1 ; Madrid was in demand at 39i to f, though quoted 39: some business was done in bills on Leghorn at 51i, but 52 may be stated as the real price ; Naples in great request, and the exchange on the rise, as high as 451 was paid ; Lisbon varied from Id. to id. from the printed quotation, though without much business being done. The prices of Bullion are nearly nominal : gold is quoted at £4. ls. For silver there was no quotation, the few transactions in it being for exportation to the East Indies. DISCOUNTS. Discounts continue extremely difficult ; and, inde pendently of the fastidiousness of monied men as to what Bills they take, money is very scarce, large pay ments being made by the various Collectors, &c. into the Exchequer and other Offices, on Quarter-Day, which will not return to the Public until the payment of the Dividends in the early part of next month, when money is expected to be more plentiful. MINCING-LANE- This title will comprise brief, but correct accounts of the sales, &c. of Colonial Produce, and all such commodities, the chief business in which is transacted there. The value of most of these has been affected by the general circumstances which press so heavily upon the commercial world. Multiplied failures pro duce want of confidence, and where this is shaken the operations of trade become contracted—holders of goods will seek the ready-money purchasers only, and b3rgains of this description afford no fair cri teria of the state of the market ; although too much distinction has latterly been made between them and sales upon credit. We shall take an early oppor tunity of making some general observations upon the 'real advantages of credits in commercial operations. They have been grossly abused in this country. With respect to the general features ofthe Mincing lane trade, we have to notice that with regard to Sugar, the importations from the West Indies have not varied much within the last three years—those of 1818 rather exceeded 1817. The home consump tion of 1816 was 133047 hhds. and 35589 tierces ; of 1817, 131891 hhds. and 29840 tierces ; that of 1818 was 146165 hhds. and 33340 tierces. The effects of the favourable harvest of last year are here very evident. The exportations of this ar ticle have suffered a considerable diminution—the amount of 1816 being 16675 hhds. and 4775 tierces, while in 1818 it was only 5871 hhds. and 3990 tierces. The stock of British Plantation sugar is less than at this time last year, yet prices average from 4s. 6d. to ss. per cwt. lower. The importations of Coffee have decreased in tho last year, prices have declined on an average from 15s. to 20s. since January last, though the stock on hand in the middle of this month was about 1700 tons less than at this time last year—the direct im portations by our Continental neighbours, are of course calculated to injure our export trade. The quantity of Coffee which arrived last week at Ant werp alone, from Batavia, exceeded 12000 bags, and it is confidently expected that prices will decline still further. The importations of Rum have augmented consi derably; in 1816 they amounted to 23746 puncheons, in 1817 they were 37141, and in 1818 they were 35190—yet the stock on hand is about 4000 pun cheons less, but the demand abroad is greater, in consequence of an increased consumption ; its cheap ness securing it a preference over Brandies and other spirituous liquors. It is now importable into Russia. Such is the general want of confidence owing to the failures and gradual decline in every article of trade, that business has been for some time, and is likely to continue very limited. There have been no public sales of Coffee since our last, and the few transac tions by private contract which have taken place, were at lower prices, particularly in Sr. Domingo and East-India Coffee. Most of the foreign orders are litnited under the market price here, and have, it is supposed, been transmitted to Amsterdam, where a considerable sale of 25000 bags was advertised for last Wednesday, to which the attention of the trade has been directed. Yesterday's market was extremely dull and uninteresting, very little business being transacted ; middling Demerara Coffee sold at 1345. to 1345. 6d.; good ordinary Jamaica 1225. 6d. to 1255.; fine ordinary 1265. to 1275. 6d. and for good ' fair St. Domingo 118 s. to 118 s. 6d. and good fair Brazil 1185.6 d. was offered for ex pot tat ion, but refused. It is reported that the Coffee advertised for sale at Amsterdam was all taken in for account of the Pro prietors, arid since sold by private contract, at good prices, which may tend to give the trade more con fidence, particularly as. an advance of one to two sous has taken place at Paris.; The raw Sugar Market was very ill attended, and a disposition iXas evinced in some holders to yield. A board of strong tine Jamaica sold at 88s. There was only one public sale, consisting of Darbadocs ' Sugar, yesterday; the whole went off at Is. to under last p rices. The The business Foreign S ugars i s very ir • under v e 23a tht prices nearly nom i na l ; a sa l e of 8000 bags, took place at the E ast I n di a H ouse on the fetched better prices than was expected, main fully the currency of the private contracts in Sugar, and shewin g an a d vance of from 3s . White. The demand f or B r i t i s h Plantation . partial at full last week's prices, but upon the market is dull. Refined Sugars are • also flat, and though some few sales for Lurnr effected at lower prices, the Refiners will but few instances give way. Tobacco is unaltered, considerable shi, are making to the Continent. Spices are heavy sale. Cinnamon and Pepper have and the East-India Company have IT._ price of the latter for the next sale to 7d. The total amount of Indigo, as yet adverti, sale by them, is 9710 chests ; of Coffee 8187 Sugar 1350 bags, and Rice 3228 bags. For Pepper, Pimento, and other Spices, little or no demand, and prices arc upon the COTTON MARKET. The importance of this branch of cur trade. forms a most prominent feature Of mercantd. [ions, renders it necessary to devote a scpar, tion of our Report to a consideration of the tions which are constantly taking place in modity. It is well known that, from its v. the manufacturing districts, Liverpool is center of all the operations in this article, respectability of our mercantile correspondence that market enables us to furnish our Readers • the most interesting particulars on this head. unadvised speculations in Cotton have perhaps, more inconvenience to the trading nity than all other causes put together. extraordinary ascendancy of capital and credi been called into action in support of the speculations, of which it has for the last been the object, that an artificial value had given to Cotton which nothing but an increase the means carried on to create at could support. was endeavoured, and for some time with succes maintain prices which it was generally admitted far above what circumstances warranted. '- sequence has resulted which might easily hai foreseen—an excessive importatiou ; such not even be justified by the wonderful increase already immense consumption. This rapid • lation of stock proved too much even for the ful interests concerned in upholding its value mendous crash took place which has shaken t_ mercial world to its foundation, and of which consequences will long be felt, not only aniongsr speculators and dealers in Cotton, but amongst inestimable branches of our internal resources pervade our manufacturing districts. We gave in our Paper of Monday an account the Cotton Market at Liverpool for the last _ unfortunately offers no prospect of any amendment the large amount of the importations, which, ; exceeds the means of the trade to held at an , like reasonable prices, must inevitably occ , most serious inconvenience to the dealers—but more particularly affect the manufacturing districts and the accounts received from these are tr-' tressing. It it be considered that for the last five months Cotton has been regularly di oppiq an average of I }d. per lb. weekly, that the loss the raw material alone before it could be !mug.. market in a manufactured state must have amounted to from 10 to 15 per cent. it will easily be cc that no species of Cotton manufacture has . yielded any profit. Our accounts from Manchester excessively gloomy in consequence—no confidence : sales, and a constantly declining market, form most prominent features.
