GENERAL TRADE REPORT.

Monday Night.
The serious results of the French revolution, although
long delayed, are at length overwhelming its concoctere
with confusion ; the terrible cry for bread or death, which
the patriotism of starving thousands has withheld for
time, has resounded through the streets of Paris. The
downfal of the organism of monarchy has not realized the
golden dreams of communist philosophy ; it has not fed
the people : in fact, as we augured some time back, the
bubble has burst ; and after an immense sacrifice of human
life, Paris at this moment presents an aspect which those
only who have seen a Parisian mob rampant in its fury
can imagine. Our various public securities have receded
in consequence, and Consols closed on Saturday at 83.
Trade however, has generally gone on much as usual.
The SHARE Market was each day quotinc, lower prices,
when the news from Paris on Saturday producedb quite
panic, and prices were quoted lower on that day than at
any time since the wild days of 1844. It has, however,
somewhat rallied to-day, but is still very depressed. Lon-
don stock was, on Saturday, 115, from a rumour that the
line wanted repairs to cost a million ; but this having been
contradicted by Mr. Creed, it has to-day been done at
118, and closes buyers at this. The destruction of the
mob at Paris is considered rather a favourable event (for
prices in this market) than otherwise. The depressing
influence now is the certainty of the movement of the
terrible army of Russia southward.
Since the Brokers' Circular was published there has
been a good demand for sugar, and better prices have
been obtained. The sales are 2,500 bags Bengal, and
150 hhds. Demerara. Rum and molasses very quiet. A
fair business has been done in Bengal rice ; 3,000 bags
fetched Bs. 6d. for small broken, to 9s. 6d. for middle.
White coffee continues very flat; 300 bags native Ceylon
reached 30s. per cwt., and 60 tierces Jamaica sold at
irregular prices.—The following summary of the past
week's transactions in the London colonial markets We
give on the authority of The Times:—
" In the colonial markets this week attention heS
been entirely absorbed by the Ministerial proposition for
the West Indies. At the commencement, until Lord
John Russell's intentions were made known, the impor-
ters of all descriptions felt little inclination to enter ink
negotiations, but at the same time the buyers were equally
indisposed to increase their stocks during the prevailing
uncertainty. Hence the business of the week has been
small, and principally confined to the last day or two.
The effect of the contemplated alteration on the market
has.been to raise the price of British about is. per cwt.
while a few parcels of foreign have been realized by the
importers, who complain bitterly of the measure, at s
similar decline. The British plantation market has
closed with considerable firmness."

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, se'
cording to the last returns, exclusive of duty, was."'
from the British possessions in America, 255. Bd. per.
cwt. ; from the Mauritius, 265. 6d. ; from the East
Indies, 225. 10Id.—By the last accounts from Havannah,
prices, free on board, were 13s. 4d. per cwt.
Our CORN market is extremely inactive and feeble ie
every branch of the trade, and prices generally are rather
lower. In fact, the weather lately has been almost uo'
precedently propitious, and we may attribute every chane
in the market for some time to come to atmospheric verl-
ations. With respect to the Irish and provincial markets,
however, although all kinds of spring corn are somewhat
depressed, and the turn lower, Wheat and Flour generally
are a little on the advance. Some few arrivals of Indian
Corn and Meal have got into Cork and Limerick this week,
which, notwithstanding there is still a fair demand far these
articles, has a tendency rather to reduce their value than
otherwise, and the market is a little lower.
During the latter part of last week, and even up to noon
of to-day, we had a decidedly improving Corrote market ;
but the Parisian intelligence coming down so very alarer
ing in its features, caused a general gloom and depressioll+
cri
and some sales were made under pressure at low Pe 5.
The arrivals are coming in freely, so that holders are

had
dce
(at which
it is expected 15,000 bales colonial will be offered,)
together with the distressed state of trade, the colonials
sold heavily at a reduction of fully ld. per lb. on the last
May sales in London. A great portion of the East India
was withdrawn in consequence of the buyers not coming
closed sethde Londonw
up to the limit ; those that were sold were at prices rather
lower than former sales. The other low wools being
descriptions not in reauest, were almost all withdrawn._es
Imports for the week :—Foreign, from Oporto, 17, West
Coast, 4,906, Bombay 707, previously, 34,919' Scotch
226; previously 5,147.
There is still a fair demand for SILK by the trade, but
the supply of both Raw and Thrown Silk from France An;
Italy has a tendency to depress the market, and„:piece
prices are with difficulty supported. In China s",hough
Goods we have no alteration to make in prices,
the demand is very limited.
The Scotch Pig IRON market has been rather firmeti
during the week, holders not being disposed to ace ~
present rates. Prices may be quoted at 435. Gd. free on
board at Glasgow for mixed numbers, and 445. Gd. forN°'
1 Gartsherrie.
The quantity of AMERICAN Beef on the market, ovvie,,g
to the paucity of arrivals, may be brought into a Ye
narrow compass ; there is but little offering under 87s. )",
and owing to the scarcity, anything of a higher quail
is held in considerable requisition. The demand for port`
continues languid, and the trade are buyers only to the
extent of present exigencies ; our quotations will show
that our stock is very various in quality ; really !It,'
however, is held high in estimation, sales having bee
made at 70s. a favourite brand. The sale of bacon """„
declined. Hams, in dry salt, are still in good request'
and shoulders have sold at an improvement, a large PI;
cel having been disposed of by auction at 275. Lard wee,
a languid sale, at reduced prices ; and although little vr_l:7;
brought forward on Tuesday, it was more than purchasee.
were willing to clear off. A small parcel of cheese
ceived since our last, of ordinary quality was sold by
auction last Tuesday at 395. to 40s.
The Taisti Butter Market cannot recover from tiro
depressed position which we have reported for some wee
past, and on Saturday holders generally were panic-stri
having vainly offered a reduction of from ss. to 65. E,lO
cwt. from the rates of this day week. Bacon still
slowly, on account of the quantity of American throwt,
on the market at low rates. Hams slightly in reques
and lard dull. The arrivals for the week ending this 114
are :—Butter, 6681 firkins, 1905 crocks ; Bacon,
bales ; Hams, 9 hhds. • Lard, 50 firkins, 20 kegs. of
Letters from Hambiirgh state that the suspension
of W. G. Arnamann and Son., of Altona, is to the amona
of £140,000, and that this event has brought down 'he
banking firm of M. Robinow and Sons, at Hamburg
Money still continued abundant at from 2 to 21 per eenl'„.

MR. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE'S PLAN FOR RE"A
TING THE SUGAR DUTIES.—The plan propounded ,-3r,
Mr. Robertson Gladstone, for the regulation of tj,
sugar duties, which many persons consider likely too 0.,,r,
well for the West Indian interest, without iMpOSiDg: a')
burden upon the British consumer, is a liberal mocht/cA;
tion of a suggestion made to• the Colonial-office by 1".
Charles Grey, the Governor of Jamaica, in his dispatch
dated the 21st February last, and received in Loudon c),:i
the 27th March. The suggestion of the Governor Is
et
even alluded to in any of the subsequent dispatches
from the Colonial-office ;it may, therefore, be reasonably
inferred from this circumstance that the more liberal s%
gestion of Mr. Gladstone is not likely to be viewed
any much greater amount of attention. Sir Charles Grey
suggestion, in his own words, is, " that the duties. .1
British muscovado should be brought towards the limit
ld. per pound, and those on foreign to 2d. ; liable n
special relaxations in favour of such foreign states;
should bind themselves by treaty to give a similar ni
sure of justice to their labourers as we give to ()Ott
Mr. Gladstone's plan is, "to impose a duty of Id. F:11
pound on all free-labour sugar, and ltd. per pound
slave-grown sugar ; and in twelve months or two
is may be deemed necessary, subject to an official n
cation to the Government of this country that any s rot
growing country had emancipated their lab. of
and forbidden, by legal enactment, the imports,t_l° ,
slaves, the produce of such country shall De peei
mitted at the reduced rates." It will thus be 5-sr
that, substantially, the only difference betvrecuatit9
Charles Grey and Mr. Gladstone is as to tlO,-,ovcr°
to be imposed upon slave-grown sugar, the L' corn-
nor recommending 2d. whilst the merchant re,ot
mends ltd. ; Mr. Gladstime's plan being, to that e;.---
at least, the more favourable to the British consuraegr•
Albion.—[We believe that the plan suggested
wer bYtotS
e.'
Gladstone was shown to several of our leading
three or four months since.]
