COMMERCIAL.
We have alluded elswhcre to the feeling
which prevails in the commercial and political
world respecting the unprecedented Scarcity
There is tall. Of working short time in the great
manufacturing duties, and the state of the Cot
ton trade, not less that the condition of the pro-
vision market, have mainly induced this resolve
The RESULTS, that ever since the arrival of the
Greet Western and the Hlbernia, the Cetton
trade was less buoyant, but still ready. The
accounts oil the present years crop arc sufficient
to keep alive apprehensions for the future, and
with more abundance of food, aud necessarily
more consumption the price Of the staple coulal
not fail to nave advanced amazingly. As it is,
the calm which preEades the market might be
famed into a breeze by the most trivial circum-
stance, favorable or otherwise, from the Yves
tern side of the Atlantic,
The manufacturing markets are dull; and
while there is an anxiety to push sales on the
one hand there is total absence of desire to
purchase on the other. This is the time when
a flip ought to have been given to trade by the
opening of the American markets. allowing six
weeks or-two months for vessels leaving Eng
| land to reach the American shores in time for
| the beginning of the year, when the new Tar
| if come into operation. But we hear little of
| the expectation which the reduced scale duties
in the Union is likely to produce.
! The immediate dependence of a county on
its own harvest was never experienced to a
greater extent in England than at the present
moment The loss of the potato affects every
business, more or less, and if the fruitful source
of national as we'll as individual embarrassments
The produce markets are all subjects to its in
! fuenee. But our maket returns will show, in
their amplitude, the causes at which we have
! glanced.
