Sugar. The demand for Sugar continues limited, the market heavy, and the prices depressed. In consequence of the continued decline of Muscovadoes, the refined goods continue to decline, and the market for them is in a very languid state. The stock of Sugar in this country is by no means large, but it has of late continued to increase, in consequence of the general stagnation of trade, and an evident decline in the quantity used for home consumpt, the deliveries from the warehouses for that purpose being much smaller than usual. The export of Sugar is now become very small from Britain to Continental Europe. It is chiefly supplied from other quarters, and, particularly from Cuba. The increase of the cultivation of this island is almost incredible. Not many years ago, it was without revenue, and a burden on the royal treasury of Spain. Last year, the royal revenues in that island amounted to 4,104,666 dollars, nearly one million sterling, which shews the prodigious extent of its cultivation and trade. The increase of revenue in 1818, was 894,471 dollars. As the supply of Sugars from the Colonies are now beginning to arrive, it is probable the market may continue depressed, unless a general revival of trade also give life to it. For some time to come, this is scarcely to be expected.-Coffee. The market for Coffee also remains in a depressed state, notwithstanding advices of a demand in some parts of the Continent. The quantity exported is considerable, as it was eagerly bought up, at enormous prices, in foreign parts, particularly in Batavia, upon the accounts of very high prices in England. The importer must, in future, expect to suffer severely, particularly from the quarter particularly mentioned.-Cotton. The price of this article continues greatly depressed, and it is expected still to be lower. A considerable demand lately took place on speculation, owing to the price of Bengals being so exceedingly lowbut low as it is, it must be a dangerous article to meddle with. The quantity arriving is still very great. It is supposed there is nearly 300,000 bales of East India Cotton in this country. From New Orleans, we learn that the increase of cultivation is so great in the south-western states of the union, that from that city, this year, they expect to export 200,000 bales, which weigh, on an average, above 4 cwts. Letters from Calcutta, lately received, boast, that in November last, there were not 20 bales of Cotton at that place. Probably it might prove no bad speculation to return them part of the enormous quantity they have sent here. Certainly it would have been better for the British importer, had there been 200,000 bags at Calcutta, in place of only 20. There is, however, plenty in India-plenty in other places.-Concerning the remaining articles usually enumerated in our Report, we can say nothing, but what has been observed for some months past. There is no variation worth mentioning, and, taking a general view of trade, internal and foreign, a few words may suffice to describe it; it is greatly and unusually depressed, and must, we fear, yet continue for some time in this state. The foreign market was completely overdone-every market was glutted, and goods selling every where at a loss, chiefly from ignorant and rash speculators, who injure the regular merchant, and ruin themselves, besides bringing great misery and distress upon thousands of our population employed in the manufacturing branches. A general alarm, also, and want of confidence in the commercial world, aggravates the evil. Things cannot, however, reinain long in their present state; and the question of the circulating medium of the country being now for a considerable time set to rest, will remove part of the pressure, and tend gradually to restore commercial matters to their proper activity. Since the beginning of 1818, the loss upon Cotton imported into this country, cannot be less than four millions; and the loss on Grain, perhaps three millions more; a loss, the more severe, as nearly the whole amount of each goes out of this country in some shape or other, into the pockets of foreign nations. -We had hoped, in our present Number, to have been able to have given our readers an account of the important invention of the new system of navigating vessels by steam, &c. announced in a former Number. An accident, however, has prevented the trial for ascertaining the best way of applying the principle from succeeding to the extent required. This, therefore, renders a further delay necessary. But in a very short period we hope to satisfy out readers on this head. The principle, upon trial, has been found perfectly satisfactory and clear, and will be productive of even greater advantages than we formerly mentioned. Some of them we are not at liberty at present to mention, but we may observe, that one advantage of great importance is, that any vessel of a proportionate draught of water, may move in a canal with any velocity, and not injure its banks.
