LONDON PRICE CURRENT.
The following remarks and prices cur
rent are extracted from the "London
New Price Current" sent us by our Cor
respondent. II is printed in quarto form
upon an extensive plan, realty executed,
and contains more useful information to
merchants, than any Price Current we
have hitherto seen.
From the London Nc7p Price Current,
august 90.
by the mails yesterday and this morning
from the Continent, West India produce
appears in greater demand sugars were
improving at Hamburger, Holland, &c. the
markets for Tobacco were brisk Cotton
had risen materially.
Cotfon-Ihe large sale of India Cot
ton attracted great attention last week +,
the whole quantity went off with spirit, and
nearly all went for the consumption of the
country
The market is still without any ale-
quate supply of Cotton, the enquiries con
tinue extensive, and the holders of small
parcels decline selling, except at a consd-
cradle advance, in consequence little or no
business was effected yesterday. The re-
ports from the Cont nent state great adj
vance on Cotton.
The foreign mails of yesterday and this
morning appear to have brought consider
able orders; more business doing goods
exceedingly scarce no alteration can be
stated in the currency. The orders are
stated to be limited as to price.
Rtce-1'here continue to be Inquiries aft
ter Carolina Rice, fine parcel was taken
last week for 54S. we believe to be divided
amongst the Grocers.
-dShes--Ihe market continues without
any supplies of American Pot or Pearl
Ashes; several arrivals of Russian, but
a considerable proportion was, we be-
liere, sold on arrival (; TO parcels yet ap-
pear at market under the last realized
price of 7Os.
.Naval StoreS-The arrival of ROUGH
Iurpentine from America to this port,
continue inconsderable.
Cotton Man4jactureS-The manufac-
lures OF Cotton were never in more f1ou-
rishin5 situation than at the present peri
cd the warehouses of Manchester and
Glasgow have been nearly cleared, and
the small ctOcI on hand LaI mn I>aI:z...
at a considerable advance. Several pur-
chasers have, we understand, come to this
market to pick up the small parcels which
had been previously forwarded for sale the
sales for the American market are cxteD-
slve. We have heard much, of the ris ne
manufactures of that country, more eSpe-
cially OF coarse articles but we take the
report with much allowance : in fine goods
there Cannot be a competition with the SUI
perlor fabrics or Britain and in the infe-
rior we are given to believe, that in the
districts tor manufacture in America, their
most inferior raw material cannot be pur-
chased, at the lowest under 1Od. per 10
the labor is much higher the price, how
ever, no doubt, will vary with the accounts
OF the markets in this Country but we
have taken the lowest rate at which it is
reported it can be cultivated The India
Company have lately been extending the
import OF Bengal Cottons, which serves e.
very purpose for manufacturing of coarse
goods till the late rise it was sold here
without duty at 9 I'D. 1Od. per ID. sub
Jcct then to duty of Cd. per ID. it is re-
duced to Id. since the 5th July, SO that the
manufacturer, when the present scarcity
Is removed, viii have the raw material
Tor coarse cloth nearly at the lowest rate
III America wages much lower, and We
ry superior machinery we, therefore, even
question the rivalship in coarse cotton
gods. The Order in Council inserted in
last Saturdays Gazette, equalzes all duty
on artcl-s the production of the United
States, whether imported or exported in
British or American vessels it is putting,
the latter on favorable footing. The i'm.
port duty on Cotton will, of course, be Id.
per Id; the export of this manufacture is
estimated at seventeen m lions value an
nually the import of the raw material
st year about $4,000 bags, the export to
the Continent $4,000.
Io6acco-Thc market Continues to i'm
prove, and the stock quite insufficient for
the demand; the export orders are con
siderable there has also appeared
speculative demand.-Maryland in car
goes continue Offering at COS. manifest W.T.
Virginia at 65s. a 70s for Continent if
markets, and lid. I'D. for parcels at
this port.
LiOerIiooi, .Hug. %.
During the greater part of the week the
sale OF Cotton continued extremely limit
ed, and American Cottons experienced a
decline Of nearly id. per ID yesterday,
however, there was very lively demand,
