STATE OF THE GLASGOW NARKET,-

1 ST DECEMBER, 1828.

(Front the Glasgow .Herald of Monday, )

SUGAR.-=-There is an-increase of fully 5,100 hhds.
from the West India Colonies, besides 6,830 bags
from the Mauritius.: On the quantivi on which' the
duties have been paid there is an increase of 35 hhds.
of B. P., and on Mauritius• equal to 465 hh&.,
making the increase in all 500 hhds.; and on the
quantity shipped to Ireland, there is an increase of
6 00 hhds. of Raw, but a decrease of 130 casks of
Refined. It may be remarked, that the quantity
shipped to the south of Scotland and north of Eng-
land is materially less than that of last season. And
from the Refiners being at full work, for the greater
Dart of the year, accounts for a greater quantity of
-duty paid Sugars having gone into consumption.
From the scarcity of Sugar during the first three
months, prices ruled very high. When the Market
became amply supplied, a considerable reduction
took place, particularly on the Brown and Middling
qualities, anti although there has been some fluctua-
tion, yet prices have been moderate, and Browns
are now. 55., Middli.4 3s. a 45., Good Middling 2s.
a 35., and the better description Is. lower than at
this period last year.
MoLAssEs.—The importation of this article has
considerably increased, being fully 6,500 puncheons
more than that of last year, and the stock has in-
creased nearly in the same ratio; and although the
prices of Raw Sugars have been moderate, yet the
decrease in the quantity on which the duties have
been paid is only 80 puncheons; the Refiners having
also worked them very freely, from the moderate
rates at which they have ruled, for the greater part
of the produce in Crushed Sugar. In the early
part of the year, prices were high from the limited
quantity for sale ; when the supplies were brought
freely to market, a considerable reduction took place,
and at present they are 3s. a 3s. 6d. per cwt. lower
than at this period last year.
COFFEE.—In the importation of this article, there
is a decrease of about 125 trs. on the total quantity;
and on the stock there is a similar decrease. On

the quantity on which duties have been paid there
is a falling off of 90 trs. The exportation has been
trifling,
.being only about 440 bags, but there has
been a greater quantity sent coastwise in bond.
Dui* the year, prices of the ordinary and middling
qualities have been progressively declining, while in
the fine middling descriptions, which have been very
scarce, there is not much reduction. We now quote
Jamaica ordinary qualities 12s. to 135., middling and
good middling Ss. to 10s., and fine middling ls. to
2a. Dutch ordinary, Bs. a 10s., middling .ss. a 65.,
ggpd and fine middling 2s. a 3s. lower than at this
period last year.

PIMENTO.—The importation of this article still
continues on a limited scale, and is much the same
as that of last year. And although prices at the
commencement of the importation were, and still
are, Id. a Ifd. lower than at the close of last year,
yet the quantity taken for exportation was not so
great, and consequently there is a considerable in-
crease in the stock.

RU3L—In the importation of Jamaica Rum there
is a decrease of 260 puns. and 130 hhds. And al-
though there is a decrease of about 100 puns. on
which duties have been paid, yet there is a material
decrease in the stock, owing to about 600 puns.
being removed coastwise in bond to the north of
England, Isle of Man, and other quarters, besides a
greater quantity taken for exportation. The im-
portation of Leewards has also decreased about 290
puncheons, and the stock has decreased in the same
ratio from the demand for exportation having only
kept pace with the importation, which has been less
than that of last year; during the early part of the
Season, the prices of Jamaicas were at the same rate
as those at the commencement of the year, when it
was ascertained that the supply would be deficient,
and the prices of Grain advancing materially holders
required an advance of 4d. per gallon, whit% .they
realized, and the advanced rates arc still maintained.
In Leewards there is no alteration in the value from
that at the close of the year.
DYEwoons.—The importation of Logwood has

decreased about 120 tons, and the stock is now
completely:- exhausted, the whole havi►lg been taken
by the Trade, Exportation, and the Liverpool Mar-
ket; and the last prices obtained were for Jamaica
55., and Honduras 10s., higheC than last year's rates.
The importation of Fustic from the West Indies is
less than that of last year, the whole was bought
up with avidity by the Trade—but there is an 'in-_ .
crease of 120 tons from Colombia, which constitutes
the stock of that article.
CoTroN.—The importation has decreased 8,740
packages, while there is an increase of 855 in the
stock, although that 1,380 packages more have gone
into consumption. The apparent increase of the
stock on the reduced importation, arises from the
spinners holding smaller stocks at present, than they
did at this period last year. During the season there
has been no material
.fluctuation, Sea Islands and
Bengals have maintained their prices. Bowed
Georgia are id. a id. per lb. higher. Demerara,
West India, Egyptian, and Surats, are id. a id.
higher on the lower descriptions, and the same rate
lower on the better qualities than the prices at the
close of last year.
ASHES.—The importation of Ashes has increased
2,230 barrels, and there is a decrease of 310 barrels
in the stock, which consists of 2,700 barrels Pot,
and 1,840 barrels Pearl. From the importation into
the north and east of Scotland having been less
than' that of -former years, consequently a supply
was drawn from this market ; and there has also
been a greater quantity shipped to Ireland than for-
merly ; these circumstances, with the consumption
in this quarter being equal to that of last year, has
taken off the extra quantity imported ; and the
prices, which have lately advanced, in consequence
of there being an apparent scarcity, are now Is. 6d.
for Pots, and Is. for Pearls, higher than at this time
last year.

TOBACCO.—Of this article there is a decrease in
the importation of 260 hhds., while there is an in-
crease of 45 hhds. in the stock, owing to the quan-
tity sent coastwise and to Ireland being considerably
short of last year; and there has also been a de-
crease in the quantity taken for home consumption,
and prices are about id. per lb. higher than at the
close of last year.
