STATE OF TRADE.

Lloyd's Coffee House, Sept. 20, 1816. The general spirit of Trade is improv

In the meanwhile, it is equally certain, that the manufactories abroad are gra dually getting into employment; for, unless this were so, why draw such immense quantities of materials for manufacture, from this and other countries? It passes for certain, that some of our people are jealous of the amount of cotton yarn exported; they conclude that if the foreigners who purchase this did not work it up into piece goods, they themselves should There is some have that occupation. truth, in this; but not all they contend for; those foreigners would contrive to spin at least a portion of that yarn for their own use; and thus they would feel their inde

In another part of the Mediterranean, report announces the intention of the New World to obtain a footing in the Old World. This is reversing the order of things; an inverted Pyramid! America has demanded from Naples compensation for the ships confiscated by Murat. Why does she not much rather demand from France, compensation for the ships confiscated by Buonaparte? And, why not accompany this with a civil suggestion, that if it be inconvenient to pay in cash, she will accept a port or two in the Mediter ranean? We have called this a report, for the proceeding is so disgraced by meanness that we doubt much whether it could ori-pendence. ginate (as stated) in any regular government under the sun.

It is remarkable also, that Commodities of most kinds-meaning the principal-have been gradually settling towards very different prices from what they fetched some months ago; some which had been depressed too low, have risen considerably, others have slowly sunk in price, till they became fair objects for speculation. This has to a certain degree supported them; aud probably, they need not greatly fear any considerable fluctuations of the mar

It is understood that Russia and Prussia are decreasing their armies; this augurs well for the duration of peace; the King of France has given notice that his body guard is complete; and his army is nearly as strong as he wants it; this too looks well. The north is quiet: the South, Spain, bas enough on her hands abroad; and is not overwell pleased at home. In short, we hope, that by every man mind-kets. ing his own business, the world will once more return to its old state, and go on again, much as usual; which is saying a great deal, after the heavy troubles and

Perhaps, it will be thought rather singular, that we should include among symptoms of returning Commerce, the slow detur-preciation of the stocks; but, this may not be so wide of the mark as it appears at first sight, if it be the consequence of sales made by order of Merchants who want that money to make good commercial en

gemeuts, either already entered into, or in contemplation. Undoubtedly, there has been a great pressure among men in busi

ness undoubtedly, it continues, and will continue some time longer, yet; but, there are always some men whose property secures them from feeling such pressures,or from feeling them, much-and these are the most likely to be first getting into motion; they foresee a more profitable employment of their money, than the stocks now afford; and they gradually prepare, by selling out, those sums, which they are likely to want.

WOOL has risen in price;-about 2s. the stone: it is still rising, and likely to rise, Report says that large orders for clothing (supposed to be for the army) have been received from Russia. The stock of cloth in the hands of dealers has been greatly diminished; a small rise has, therefore, taken place in its price; and the manufacturer feels some benefit from it, and hopes for more.

COTTON finds purchasers; and will continue to find them, while the export demand for yarn, is so extensive. A moderate slack, is, however, to be expected; as the shipments for the Baltic must close, by the regular return of the season; there is no standing against frost, snow and ice.

The Corn Trade, which was so deeply and unreasonably depressed, has progressively risen, till it exceeds for the time, the Act of Parliament importation price. This his ot been the case long enough to jus tify opening the ports for foreign corn; but, it shews that the late distresses of the agriculturas, interest, it may reasonably he hoped, have in a great measure abated, and will altogether close, in a time not very distout. In the meanwhile, it is earnestly to be hoped, that the ensuing harvest will be plentiful-of which there is every ap pearance as foreign parts report their inability to justify our depending on them,qual to the demand, for a supply.

Some report that the weavers in some places want work: we have no such information generally though we believe that all do not receive the highest price for their goods. Cotious, in the piece, are declined in price, and will probably so continue; the power of production is fully

The East India Company has how can they furnish cargoes for Europe? for sale: 5610 bags in one sale: the prices, lately brought forward great quantitics The general consequence, we presume, of course, something lower than the last, will be, that the Agriculture of each country will speedily find its level; and after a while it will accommodate itself to the de- mand, by price and profit.

The Home Trade will follow the estab. lishment of the Agricultural level; and though certain classes of workmen will have quitted their old labours, yet, we hope and trust, that they will have obtained engagements in new labours, and again return to life and comfort.

We continue to receive from various parts of the country complaints of present sufferings. The labours of harvest, with the beautiful weather at length granted by Providence to our supplications, will, we trust, dissipate into thin air, the gloomy forebodings, which accompany those complaints. The realities we regret exceedingly: the predictions we leave to Time, whose scythe may cut them up by the roots, as he is in the habit of doing, by those of all men ;--each in his turn.

We now direct our observations to the leading articles in the Commercial Market.

NAVAL STORES are declined to a low rate. The demand for Whale Oil has been so extensive for exportation that the stocks are greatly reduced. The exports from Hull are stated at not less than 2,000 tons. This naturally assists other oils; and Cod and Seal oil are on the advance. Whatever extent the Gas-lights auticipate; and they seem to be spreading fast and widely, this channel of Commerce, export lion, will, nevertheless, remain open though such is the ardour of speculation, that, were it possible, the pipes would be carried under the sea, and foreign cities be supplied daily, with gas distilled in London.
