STATE OF TRADE.

GLASGOW, Jury B.
We wish that we.were enabled to mention sniric iniproren.ent it
trade; but so far Jo this from being within our payer, that bu 501,,,..
of evety description (with t,,e unfortunate eacePtion of a so, ,s 1
corn, in conitetp.enee of the drought), appears in every part or ille
country to be, if possible, flatter than ever.
By the arrival of the Catharine in the Clyde, very checrihe
vices from Bombay have reached as. The vales of Brhish good,
have been very extensive and profitable, and large remittances hate
' been made to onr merchants. Vire are delighted to be able to cox.
municate this intelliger.el to oar renders ; and would he still limit
no, if we could assure then of a similar state of things to cox,
quarters of the world. But. unfortunatell. the latest areleols
not warrant us to speak with any confidence of our comotereof
affairs, either in the West India,' or nt Buenos Ayres.—uk.4..,

C(./TTON.-There was scarcely any thing done in Cotton fat
week, the sales being only 80 Egyptians 7irl. duty paid, and 114
Sumer 43d. a &Rd. in bond. There ere more itignires after Cotton
last night and this morning; in addition to the sales we hare tile.
met tied, 400 bates of Surat* have been taken at 414. ti
good and fine Muscovatles were in sorne
quest last week, and all descriptions above 675: were rather
higher; the great proportion of the new supply is of the harrier
brown, and there is little demand except for ex eoriation : the saki
that we have seen were ilea reduction of 61. a Is. per cat. partite.
lardy Sugars from 50n. a 53e. The deliveries last week are eates-
sive, and the stock, compared with leer year, is 2700 casks lag,
yet the extensive arrivals appear to deter the trade from corning
errward ' • this morning there are ereusisse int:pities made, and it i,
evident the wheeetale Omens an: out of stock, yel so general Is thr
anticipaion of lower prices among the trade, that they only inquir:
as t s prices. offer a siuule lower, and do not purehase to any extent.
We estimate the sales by private corftract to-day at GOO casks; the
nide w cannot be stated in any alteration since last week. The pub-
lic sales, 119 hhila. Barbadnee, went off at full market prices: 1473
begs Mauritius sold at previous prices; yellows :11s. 6d. a 610. Cu.
After the day of lowering the bounty on Refined Sugars last weak
there was a complete stagnation in the demand fur export goods;
low Lumps, which had been previously 7ss. Gil to 700. The gro-
cers cntitinue to buy a few fine goods for immediate consumpuee,
but only on a confined scale. There was little alteration to tee
currency. Molasses twenty-five shillings. To day the wholsale gra.
errs are purchasing fine goods suitable for the home trade at a re-
duction of 2s. per cwt. The exporters do not buy any geode G r
shipping; they state the prices must fall in proportion to the with.
drawing of the bounty before any transactions of extent ton be ex.
peeled. The nearest price of Molasses to-day is 255. 63. In Fe.
reign Sugars there was no alteration last week.
COFFEE.-There were remarkable cletters in the Coffee.
II market last week; up till Thursday inclusive Coffee wet
heavy. and the great proportion of the quanti•y brought forrieJ
at public sale was with•lrawa ; on the Friday there wss a brisk dr,
mend, and the whole of the Coffee sold, the British Flotation It
a 2s. higher, and damaged St. Deming° realiated 465. Since nail
the market has again become heavy, and good. ordinary St. Do-
mingo is reported to be sold at 435. 6tl. for money. There ewe
two public sales of Coffee this forenoon, 71 casks Dutch and Okt
begs of St. Domingo; the former sold hig I, being much wanted
for home conuernot ion, middling to good middling. 78s. a 80s.; the

quote the prices 435. a 4gr., which is Is. a 2a. lower than on Tuesday
last ; 32 tags good Mocha sold 76e. a 83s.
HOPS.-The accounts from the flop districts continue very fs.
Towable; the plant spreads, looks he at thy. and there is an appear.
ante of burr; the duty is now 200,0001. The prices of Hops in
London arc end ely nominal.

higher than the present currency, on accaur.t of the destruction of
the crop in Ireland. The lettets from St. Peteraburgh yestertkr

INDIGO.-The opening of the sale at the India House this
morning attracted great attention ; the serious fall that has taken
Felice the wre•ched state of trade in England, and reported cues:.
dernlile orders for Indigo from the Conte.ent, all ta sitkil to increase
the interest. The sale consists of 5975 chests Bengal, 553 Matirsr,
I It Manilla, 3 Java, and 1176 Oriole. prices of Bangui sod
Madras have gone much the satire as in April lust, but the
Oude is either all bought in or passed.
.The highest prize yet paid
Is 9s. 2d. per lb."
SPICES.-The Pimento at public sale last week sold at higher
prices; on Friday 181 bags, of which the good sold 100. a laid:
' there was some appearance of a revival in the demand for Pepper.
but the heavy arrivals have again checked the demand. By public
sale this forenoon, 1.288 bags Pepper, sifted abroad, 311. ; it*:
boxes Cassia Lignea 51. a 5/. Is. ; 62 casks Nutmegs 1.. 61. a 311.;

RUM. BRANDY, and 110 MANDS.—There was rather more
business doing in Rum last week ; the buyers looking with atter-
Mut to the dry weather, the effect on the Barley crop, and the ; re-
bability of Foreign spirits being brought more into the home can.
sumption. Janraicas, 32 over. sold at 3s. 2d., 27 to %l over 2s. J.
a 2s. ld.; Leeward,,, 10 over 20. 2d., under roof and prof.
Is. 9d. a ls. 19d.; one or two parcels were repotted to be taken oil
privately, but as the particulars did not transpire, they mire sup.
posed to be sold at prices rattier lower than the market rates. At a
late hour to-day the inquiries after Ram were renewed; the de-
mand appeared chiefly for Leewards. Brandy was alao on
account of the favourable report from the Treasury. °cum' with-
out alteration.

IMPORTANT TO THE SPIRIT TRAY:T.—The applleafun
to the Lords of the '1 reasury, for leave to add and reinforce
old Brandies, to make them suitable for home consumption, lee
been granted; the answer was received at a lie hour to-day. It
will hare a favourable effect on trade, particularly to old Brandies,
that are often unsaleable on account of want of strength, not being
suitable for home use and general purposes, and in consequence
generally superseded by the new Brandics.—N.B. It is to be sb-
a2rced, the privilege is only for home evisuniption ; but we should
think it will be extended to export. The Spirit to be imparted to
reinforce the Brandy to original strength is to be tluty free. The
trade now ordering Brandy may have it old, and of the strength
described.
TOBACCO.—There is no business doing in Tobacco.
NAVAL STORES.—Turpentine, Tar, and el! deactiptloct
Naval Stores are heavy, and rather lower.
PROVISII)NV,—Stat ionary in price, and the demand moderate.
Bacon 61a. a 625. fully maintain their price, owing to.the heat of
the season. Butters, In consequence of the drought, have stared
full 10i. per cwt., and the home.market tailing off, the Bata en.
rivals go off freely.
OILS.--In Fish Oils the transactioas a-e on *limited scale. and
there will probably be little bus neas affected till the result of the
Northern Fisheries are ascertained, whien will probably be known
about the end of this month; the number of ships last amino was
120 ; this year 100. The holders of Seal Oil evince no ineliastioa
to sell at present.
TEA.—Nothing new in the Tea market; the quantity to be
sold at September sale will he declared by the Company to.moriow,
and will have some in6peinceon prices.

o'clock in the afternoon the Honourable H. T. Liddell,

M.P. entered Newcastle, also es grand cortege, amid the
ringing of bells and the usual demonstratitms of
joy. About seven o'clock, Tho-.its Werstenrtb Braun,
