COLONIAL PRODUCE.-Sugars.-The demand for Muscovades has been limited, and prices have suffered little alteration, fluctuating perhaps fron 13. to 2s. per cwt. Foreign has been little in request; and no alteration in price can be stated. Coffee continues subject to great fluctuation. In the week ending the 18th ult. it declined 12s. to 15s. per cwt.; and on the 20th the prices were 1s. to 2s.per cwt. lower than on the 18th. The market is still heavy to-day; at a reduction of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. Cotton has been a favourite article of speculation; notwithstanding the India Company has declared 26,000 bags for sale on the 18th instant. The prices have advanced a little. To-day the market is again heavy.-The total imports into Great Britain this year, compared with 1817, during the same months, is as follows: : From 1st Jan. to 31st Aug. 1817. 1st Jan. to 31st Aug. 1818. From the United States, 167,103 Brazil and Portugal, 51,625 East Indies, 72,892 176,563 112,753 135,332 28,277 452,925 Making an increase this year of about 130,000 bags; and there is an increase of stock in the kingdom nearly in equal proportion. Rum.-There were considerable sales in the last week of August; prices rather higher; no Leewards offering under 3s. 3d. The demand has since subsided, and prices have fallen Id. to 2d. per gallon. To-day there is little business doing, and prices nominal. Tobacco is in brisk demand, both to the trade and on speculation; and prices have improved. Oils. The reports of the Davis' Straits fishery continuing indifferent, there has been a considerable advance on whale oil; Greenland about L.I. Sperm, cod, and seal oils are also considerably higher. EUROPEAN PRODUCE.-The demand for tallow has been extensive since our last report, and prices advanced rapidly; 91s. was realized for yellow candle, and 1s. to 2s. higher was asked; but the demand has since subsided, and the market again lower; for arrivals during the season 77s. Hemp and flax have also become in request, and prices are improving. Brandy is rather heavy; purchasers waiting the event of the vintage in France, which is reported to be indifferent; inferior descriptions may however be quoted a shade higher. There is no alteration in the prices of Geneva. British Manufactures.-At Dudley, Stourbridge, &c. the iron trade was never known so brisk as it is at this moment; the foreign orders being so great, that they cannot be completed with sufficient celerity. At Aberdeen, an advance of from 10 to 15 per cent. has recently taken place in the prices of weaving. The excess of the revenue in the present quarter, beyond that in the corresponding quarter of last year, will be nearly L. 1,500,000.-Sept. 8.
