MONTHLY METEOROLOGICAL JOURNAL,

FROM OCT. 23 TO NOV. 22, 1831.

COMMERCIAL AND MONEY-MARKET REPORT.

Until the last week of October, no falling off iu business was evinced at the Cotton Market of Liverpool. The last sale of any importance there was of 22,000 bales, which were chiefly taken up for the supply of home manufactories. During the three first weeks of November, the sales have considerably diminished in amount, averaging weekly at 9000 bales, and amounting, in all, to 26,860. This shows a falling off of nearly half from the amount of business during the corresponding period of the preceding month. It is impossible yet to say whether it has been occasioned by any great diminution in the demand for our Cotton manufactures. In the Metropolitan Cotton Market things have remained nearly in the same state as by our last report. Business has been rather steady, and very little alteration in prices has taken place. The sales reported from the 1st to the 22nd of November, have amounted to 4098 bales.

In the Sugar Market, business has been very unequal; the purchases in British plantation have been limited there was some demand in the early part of the month for the Coloury sorts; but a decline in prices afterwards took place, and the market became flat. In East India Sugars business has been, upon the whole, very brisk: the sales in Mauritius alone, from the 1st to the 22nd of November, have amounted to 23,452 bags; there was one sale of Manilla, consisting of 20,076 bags. There is every appearance that prices will be maintained in this description of Sugars. In refined ones, the descriptions entitled to the bounty on double refined, have been a good deal in request for exportation. As the supplies have not been adequate to the demand, prices have generally stood high, and are well maintained. There was not much done in other descriptions of fine goods.

A brisk demand for Coffee has been kept up during the greater part of the month, many grocers having taken in stock for the retail trade. No particular preference was evinced as to quality or growth, and the prices obtained were fair. Hardly any transactions for exportation were reported.

The Silk trade is in a languishing state, as it usually is at the present time of the year. In the Italian Market things continue flat: prices there have been on the decline for some time past. The East India Company's Sale, during the last week in October, went off very heavily. Out of the number of bales offered, not above two-thirds were sold; the remainder were with drawn.

A good deal of business has been doing in fruits of all kinds and growths. In our former report we said, that the present season promised excellent qualities from Spain and Turkey. Both figs and raisins (currants included) are, in fact, of the very best, and the supplies have been taken up at very fair prices, as fast as they came on the market.

In consequence of the differences which have lately occurred between the English Factory at Canton and the Chinese authorities, the supply of Teas is expected to be short next year, unless the Chinese will consent in time to such terms as will secure the persons and property of British

residents from all risk. In anticipation, however, for the worse, the East India Company have already given notice, that at the next March sale, a slight advance of price will be put on the several descriptions. For the forthcoming sale, which stands fixed for the 5th of December, the different descriptions declared (in all 8,150,000lbs.) remain taxed as formerly.

Business in the funds has not been considerable since our last report. Investments have been kept back by the prospect of political commotion about Reform, and speculators have been rather puzzled as to the turn that things are likely to take, and therefore at a loss what course to adopt. From the 1st to the 24th of November inclusive, the fluctuations in the price of Consols for the November account have not exceeded 1 onequarter per cent. The quotation on the 1st was 82 one half to five eighths; the lowest was on the 12th, at 81 seven-eighths to 82; and the highest on the 23rd, at 83 one-eighth to one-quarter. Generaliy, the price was steady, and about the middle of the month remained almost stationary for four or five days. The Stock Exchange folks have evinced a greater confidence in the public credit than they were supposed to profess under appearances so unfavourable as those by which the tranquillity of the country has latterly been threatened. The settlement of the account on the 24th did not, however, pass off quite as well as was expected. Two defalcations of some note have occurred in consequence of large speculations by the parties, for the fall. The next settling day was fixed for the 19th of January, and Consols for that account opened on the 24th at 83 onehalf to five-eighths. In the heavy Stocks the transactions have not been extensive, and the prices have kept pace with Consols.

In the Foreign Stock Exchange little has occurred worth any notice. Some inquiry at one time prevailed for Spanish Cortes Bonds, and their price rose in consequence rather more than one per cent. Danish and Russian Bonds have been constantly on the rise, but business in them has not been sufficiently important to give a decided impulse to the prices. The South American Securities have, with the single exception of Brazil Stock, been entirely stationary in value, and were wholly neglected. In Brazil Stock, though some variations in price occurred, owing to political occurrences, hardly any business was done.

Money has been generally abundant in the City and at the Stock Exchange, and good bills easily discountable at the rate of 3 per cent.

A notice has been issued by Government of an intention to cancel Exchequer Bills to the amount of about thirteen millions sterling. This has operated unfavourably on the value of those securities in the market, the premium falling to 4s.

According to the new mode adopted at the Custom House, for the purpose of showing, as much as possible, the amount of exports in silver and gold, it appears, that from the 1st to the 19th of November, both inclusive, 2,122,096 ounces of silver, and 23,023 ounces of gold, have been sent off from London to Calais, Rotterdam, and Hamburgh. Although the accounts relating to

the importation of bullion are not equally accurate, it appears, that since the 13th of September, dollars to the amount of three millions, equal to as many ounces, have been imported from America, chiefly the United States.
