y, s5aFPCLAL REPORT. According
y es - rer,rtE of the house of commons or
s. Ne Wsst I'M iia trade it appears that on the
~ Iulv fSo7, the quantity Of sugar il
e. A.. ,srs.hop IS at the West India dock, aae
IS, lving Of bard afoas, was AIS, 1S9 cwt
RE ,oarket{Iss this article continues dull
snd IA rum is rather fiat in the market: that
q Iauaica sells at Is Cd to 6s per gallon
cs&ee IS lower than it has been for long
,;me ordinary sells from 54s to 7os per
swt. and the finest sort from 81 15s to 81 IS.
The rigorous edicts Of Bonaparte prevents
tbe +; importation Of this article, which would
neatly bring 100 percent. profit inthe French
and Dutch markets atpresent, were 1t posi-
bic 10 export it thither.
The market for wines continue very high,
Notwithstanding the arrival of SIX vessels
from Oporto direct, and seven vessels more
are hourly expected 10 arrive in all about
1900 pipes Of port wine.s When those come
into themarket it may make some alteration
4 the prices but the quality OF those wines
viii be very inferior to those Of our last
vear's iinporyations, IS they principally con-
III of las. vsar vintage. There is no kind
of doubt, but that The consumption of port
wine has decreased In these kingdoms and
that ii conse quence Of the excessive heavy
duties laid on BY MIR. PITT, by which the re-
venue must have been injured, as fully APP
pears from the quantity Of wine shipped from
[Opono to Great Britain and Ireland, taken
! from thee porto shipping list. publishedthere
every year and by it it appears that In 1900
/ the shipping off was s., 511 pipes of wine to
|Great Britain, and Ireland alone andin 1906
only 81 ,sO2 pipes; leaving deficiency Of
HIS SOC pipes. Thus the people are burthen-
| ed with tax on that necessary article with
out brne6tting the state. To some of our
readers, connected with parliamentary at fairs
we would recommend the lowering OF duties
Dn all kind of wine, except French.
The article of hemp, usually imported from
Riga and Petersburg, has risen, within afew
months, from al up to Oh per ton! being
the present price; and this ARTICLES ike
wise to get higher, unless the cultivation OF
! It is encouraged by our government over all
1.-THE United KINGDOM. In Ireland, Aaxseed,
usually imported from New York, Philadel-
Rphia, Boston, &c. has got to an enormous
Eprice and if the embargo continues in A.
knerica, the LINEN trade Of that country must
be very much iniured-howevcr, we have
pleasure in stating, that it is the intention Of
parliament to grant a bounty to the growers
IF Aaxseed and this, we trust, will remedy
he evil.
During the LIST year 6sAo ships cleared

,sS7 ships cleared the Sound duties.
1 Within the last six months, very consi-
|erable fallhas taken place in the price Of
topper. This is ascribed to the great sue
ess OF the Resistant mining company, at
kllamsr, IN Ireland, where there has been
alsed and sent to England, during the last
FEAR, no less than 1924 cwt. of copper
pre-. This is to be considered as one of
he many and growing advantages result
ng from the political union of the two isl
k4ds.
