COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

(THIS DAY.)
The only mail in town this morning is French ; that por-
tion of its mercantile contents which are of public import-
ance will be found below.

The imports at the port of London are not just now ex-
tensive. The chief articles are British Plantation Sugar,
Coffee, Rum, and Irish Butter. There are about twenty
West Indian vessels now in the Downs with Sugar and Coffee
aboard, and one Mauritius vessel with 6,000 bags of that Sugar.
The wind being favourable, these may soon be expected up.
The exports of Colonial produce are good, and so are the
deliveries of most Colonial commodities for home consump-
tion. The season will soon tell against the export trade : but
a good home trade has every prospect of being secured. A
good deal is doing in our Colonial market privately.
SUGAR, both British Plantation and Mauritius, quoted yester-
day as held for Is. to Is. 6d. per cwt. higher, in consequence of
the hurricane, have established that advance by actual tran-
sactions; but the market is rather quiet to-day, and the Re-
fined is 325. 6d. for fine crushed.
COFFEE.—The only thing worth notice in this commodity
is that there is rather more inquiry for Foreign. Good ordi-
nary Coloury Brazil has sold at 395.
BARBADOES GINGER has established an advance of ls. to
2s. per cwt. ; and Rice ( East India) of 6d. per cwt.
Innmo.----Although East India Indigo cannot be quoted as
having positively established an advance upon the advanced
prices quoted yesterday, it must be regarded as still looking
up, and so is Spanish.
WooL.—The public sales progress. Some good fleeces
have been sold, in addition to the low and middling kinds in-
stanced yesterday, and these have fetched Id. to 2d. per lb.
advance. No fine wool has yet been put up.
COTTON continues to be in good demand in the London
market, and prices are rather stiffer.
METALS.—Spelter is now down to 131. 15s. to 141. per ton.
Iron and Lead are both brisk, and the reply to several orders
for Iron sent into Wales is, that such Is their present engage-
ments that they cannot execute them.

PaovisioNs.—lrish Butter is inclined to go down in price.
Dutch Butter is Is. lower, and the best may now bo bought at
105 s. ; Bacon is very firm at 655. for the best.
TALLOW is 40s. 3d. to-day on the spot, and for delivery.
. .

TEA.--The sale progresses with spirit, but shows no va-
riation from our report of yesterday.
The accounts received this morning from the Continental
Markets are of very little stirring commercial interest; never-
theless, they are so far favourable that the recently noticed re.
vival in trade continues to gain in strength and extent, and the
reports from all places that have reached us, state a good and
steady business doing, at fair and firm prices. In Holland,
Belgium, and the North of France, seeds for crushing
are held for higher rates, which the crushers at some places
had paid but reluctantly, and only buying for immediate want ;
it seems to be the general opinion amongst the crushers on the
Continent, that, although the prices of Oil have advanced, and
are advancing, the raw material seeds, in consequence of the
low rates at present current i►► all the Baltic ports and the in-
terior of Germany, will not in proportio❑ participate in the
improvement, as large supplies are known to arrive during the
latter part of the year, and that these will pour in so as to
enable the crushers to supply themselves according to their
owl actual want, and at their own prices, thus remov►ng the
necessity of keeping the stocks with accompanying expenses
from them to the importers, which, if this be the case, natu-
rally will be more at the mercy of the crushers than generally
is the case.

We have received accounts from the fishery at Newfoundland,
describing the catch of Cod to have been very plentiful, and
the supplies of Cod Oil are consequently expected to prove
good.
The intelligence of the fruit season at Malaga and Alicante
state the crop of Raisins and Almonds to look exceedingly
well; and, as the orders for-the United States this year, for
kuown reasons, fall considerably short of what the former
years have been the custom, it was expected that lower prices
would be paid, and the greatest part of the crop go to England.
The continued fine and seasonable weather in France has
checked the speculation in Wine, which for some weeks past
was noticed; buyers were holding back, and the quotations lit-
tle mere than nominal. The vintage was expected to begin
in the neighbourhood of Bordeaux the 15th or 20th instant,
and the grapes looking promising.
We have Mauritius Price Currents to the 23d of May ; the
exchange on London for Government Bills of GO days were
at par, the demand slack. The exports of Sugar from the
Sqtember to the 15th of May, amounted to 59,843,0331b5.
Accounts from Halifax to the Bth of August, received to-
day, state that the Bank had resumed its payments in specie,
and that confidence and good feeling had been again restored.
