COMMERCIAL IN It.LLIk)ENCE-TH/11 D.T.

Suoaa.—The i sed demand for Plantation Sugars,• nodsted
on Friday last, has been fully maintained. The sale, but week
exceeded 3,000 casks. The stock at the end of last week, as corn.
pared with what it was at the satoe period last year, skews a defi-
ciency of rather above 9,400 casks, but it is evident that the effects
of the decrease have for some time been anticipated. The total
deliveries from the warehouse of West India for the week ending
last night have been about 35,000 cwt. while the imports have only
best, 25 ewt. This morning there have been as yet no extensive
dealings, but the sales made were on quite as high terms ill on
Friday; and from the .firm state of the market an advance is =mi-
tt/med.—Farris', Sugars attract but little attention. The result,
of some large public. sales advertised for this week will tend to
skew the real price. The stock at present is considerable. Bengal
Sugar is a shade higher than last week.

Covrar.—The market is in rather an Improved state. Bt.
Domingo obtains readily from 395. to els. for good Ordinary
and good. Middling Jamaica from 745. to 775. per cwt. .
Setcati.—The Spice trinket has, within the last few days, exhi-
bited much unmade°, sad an advance in nutmegs, mace, Btc. has
occurred. The stocks are low; and the latest accounts from the
Spice Islands are not very favourable, u far u regards the crops;
and, from the present extremely low prices of spices, an advance of
SO per cent. is not improbable, especially if capitalists should tutu to
investments in then., fur which there is nnw a fair opportunity.—
Spices of late hate scarcely paid freight and charges, and latterly
shipments have been made freely to foreign elarketa, la the hope
that better prices would be obtained. .

Imoreo.—The demand for Wig° continues estrisaniy brisb.l24
speculation is active in this article. Purchases have been effected at
an advance of from aid. to 3d. on the prices given at the East India
sale. To Franc., Germany. and the Netherlands, the exports lat-
terly have been nominally large. The deliveries last week front the
warehouses were considerable.

Rusinau Paoneca--Tbe Tallow market centintri in a drooping
state at the lowest prices latterly obtained. The deliveries in the
week ending last night have Leen very great, viz. 6,012 cwt. and
though imports In the same space of time have been about 2,920
cwt. The advice. from St. Petersburgh represent, that sales were
Ibreed there by the Russians, who seemed unusually anxious to get
clear of stock ender the conviction that the produce next year
would even exceed that of the present year to the extent, It is
said, of 40,000 tasks. At the date of the last letters, upwards
of 300 casks had been sold at 98 rebles--the quotation there
as well as here, having given way. In addition to the super-
abundant stock of Russia. the stock of Town Tallow is consider-
able, but the price of the latter continues firm, Is. to 10s. above
the former. Of Russia, the sellers are numerous to-day, and the
prices may be quoted at the lowest currency, viz. Hs. ed. to
375. per cwt.—Bristles have also given way, the demand net being
quite so brisk. The deliveries from the warehouse are very
extensive, amounting lathe week ending•last night to 21,960
Hemp and Flax.are, if any thing, a shade lower.
SALTFITILS is heavy, the demand fur exportation not being so
brisk as it was. The deliveries last week were 9,601 cwt. The
market price is 245. 6d. per cwt.
