houses have made an immense speculation, which, unless a rise takes place, may end in utter ruin. The disastrous accounts of the whale fishery are much in favour of these speculators, and they have been continuing their operations at St. Petersburgh; but we have all along been inclined to suspect that this speculation will ultimately fail, since, considering the stock of old tallow which these houses have on hand, the price it originally cost them, the deterioration by keeping, the expense of warehouserent, and that the supply of tallow in Russia is this season unusually large, it does not seem possible for any manœuvres to raise the prices so as to make it answer. In fact, the market has become heavy; few sales have been reported this week, and in consequence of vessels arriving off the coast with considerable cargoes, and the languid state of the trade, the prices have been gradually giving way, and the nearest price for yellow candle tallow to-day is 39s. and for late arrival, nearly the same price may be quoted.

Oils. At the conclusion of last month the prices of whale oil were nearly nominal; the holders would not sell for arrival at less than 221. which the trade would not accede to; but there were considerable buyers at 211. Though the season was advanced, no detailed statements had been received direct of the result of the fishery; and the reports through Bremen, Hamburgh, &c. were considered to be wholly undeserving attention. At the commencement of this month, however, unfavourable accounts were received by two vessels, one from Greenland, and the other from Davis's Straits, which had a great effect on the market, the holders refusing to sell, unless at a considerable advance, and the buyers still hanging back; but as no further accounts were received for above another week, the prices rose only to 221. 10s. and 23. for arrival; but the greater number of holders refused to sell till the result of the fishery was known. On Friday the 13th, however, the market was thrown into great confusion, by accounts received from the Davis's Straits fishery, up to the 16th of August; seven ships were lost, about twenty beset with ice, and the remainder only averaging two to three fish each: immediately 30%. was demanded, but it could not be realised; 261. was obtained with facility. The accounts since received are up to the 19th ult.; they confirm in a great measure the first accounts, but are not quite so unfavourable. Details were given on the 16th respecting 37 ships; they had 147 fish, four were beset with ice, and one stove.

By public sale the 13th instant.-About 120 tuns Southern Oil, 177. 5s. to 187. 10s. As the vessels are daily arriving with very small quantities of oil, a considerable ad

vance has taken place; Greenland new may now be stated at 281. and old oil 261.

Rum, Brandy, and Hollands.—The rum market has lately been in such a languid and depressed state, that purchases may now be made at prices a shade lower; no general reduction has yet, however, been submitted to.-Brandy is lower; the best marks are offered at 3s. 4d. but we believe there have been no purchases.-The Geneva lately landed on the quay is offered at a reduction of 1d. per gallon without facilitating sales.

FOREIGN COMMERCE.

in demand for this week past. Riga, August 29.-Flax has been less The prices last paid were Marienburg crown 46 r.; Thiesenhausen and Druiana Rackitzer

white 45 r.; for grey 42 r. are asked; Badstub cut is at 38 r.; Risten Threeband, 30 r.; Tow 11r.-Corn. Only a little heavy Courland barley has been purchased for Holland at 47 r. to 50 r. according to quality. The consignments of corn to St. Petersburg continue, but are not consider-: able enough materially to affect the prices, which may be called nominal, as follows, viz. Rye, 57 r. to 56 r.; wheat, 80r. to 96r.; oats, 42 r. to 45 r.-Hemp. There is less doing, but the prices keep up, because our stock is small, and for the most part in the hands of solid holders. The prices last paid were, Ukraine clean, 96r.; Polish do. 98 r.; Ukraine outshot, 86 r.; Polish do. 88 r. to 87 r. Ukraine Pass, 79 r.; Polish do. 82 r. to 81 r. Torse 48 r. to 47 r. Hemp Oil. As our stock is small it is held at 105 r.; and in small parcels, paid for at that rate.-Linseed Oil is worth 140 r.-Seed. Very little doing in crushing Linseed, and the prices according to quality (nominally) 12 r. to 18 r. That of Hempseed, 12 r. to 13 r. The shipments of sowing seed are expected to begin uncommonly early this year, perhaps even at the commencement of next month. If the weather remains as favourable as hitherto, we expect seed of good quality, but it is apprehended that the crop will be small.

Tallow, white crown may be bought at 110 r.; yellow, at 105 r.

Riga, September 6.-Since the preceding report no great change has taken place in our market, except that the prices of hemp have risen in consequence of a brisk demand for England. The prices now asked are Ukraine clean, 98 r.; Polish, 100 r.; Ukraine Outshot, 87 r.; Polish do. 88 r. to 90 r.; Ukraine Pass, 80 r.; Polish do. 82 r. to 83 r.; Torse, 47 r.

Hamburg, 14th Sept.-Coffee. Except the sale of about 50,000 lbs. of Brazil and some parcels of Triage, nothing worth notice has been doing, but the prices remain firm, and the general opinion favourable to this article.-Cocoa. The

prices being so very low, speculation has been excited, and several parcels of Maranham have been sold.-Dyewoods, &c. There has been little doing these two weeks, and the prices remain unchanged.-Spices. Some pepper has been purchased at the present low prices. Pimento is in good demand, and the price for good middling is steady at 113d.; for the best, 12d. are paid.-Rice of all descriptions maintains its price.Tobacco has not varied; 30,000 lbs. of Porto Rico in the leaf have been

sold by private contract. The new supplies are from St. Thomas two ships, 370,000 lb. Porto Rico, roll and leaf; from Baltimore, 220 casks of Maryland; and from New Orleans, 250 casks of Kentucky. -Tea maintains its price. We have received from New York, 879 quarter chests, and 84 one-eighth chests of Haysanchin, and 154 quarter chests of Haysan.-Sugars. Hamburg refined are still in demand, and some kinds may be stated at an advance of d; strong middle lumps are readily sold, from the continued want of sufficient choice, at rather better prices, in some instances even at 84d.; Treacle maintains its price

at 10d. In raw goods, nothing of importance has been done, because the prices of the finer descriptions fit for exportation have been held too high; the orders for fine white Havannah being for the most part limited to only 94d. and for fine middling ditto to 9d. to 91d. For the use of our refiners white Brazils have been bought at 74d.; middling brown ditto, at 52. Fine brown Brazils are held at 64d.; and Havannah ditto, at 74d.

Germany. The measures adopted by the Southern German States, by way of reprisal against France, had at first rather an unfavourable influence on the Franckfort fair; but, contrary to expectation, business became afterwards very brisk, and large sales were made of some goods, especially woollens, which caused raw wool to rise considerably in price. Fourteen of the 22 Swiss Cantons have resolved to impose import duties on French wines, spirits, tobacco, linens, and cotton manufactures of all kinds, &c.

France.-A Commercial Treaty has been concluded on liberal terms between France and the United States of North America.
