STATE OF TRADE. Lloyd's Coffee House, June 20, 1808. A bill is now before parliament for leave to import raw silk from Italy. We sincerely hope it may have the desired effect; as the want of this article has suspended the employ-hope, alleviate the distress of the West India ment of thousands of poor silk-weavers whose situation at this present time, is not to be described. The state of the silk trade, which we here annex will clearly shew a'deficit of no less than 6667 bales in one year.

There was on the 1st April 1808, remaining in the Company's warehouse, silk sold, but uncleared, China 70 bales-Bengal 469Privilege do. 730-Organzine 9.-The sale of the 5th April, has added to the above, China 487-Bengal 971-Privilege do. 382-Organzine 187.-There is just arrived and will be put up in September sale, Bengal 1270-Privilege do. 218. N. B. This is all that can possibly arrive in time for September sale.-Italian silks in the market, none.-Total 4793 bales.

The above is all that can be obtained to supply the manufactory, fit or unfit, for 12 months; unless Italy can supply us.

The consumption of the Trade. In 1807 was imported from Italy and other parts of Europe 915,218 lbs. of silk, which taken at 140 lbs. the average weight of India Company's bales, including Chinas, make

In addition to the usual quantity imported from Italy, the India Company sold at the four preceding sales,` the following which has been actually consumed, with the exception of the stock now in the warehouse, sold and uncleared, viz.-September Sale 1806, 2351 bales-March Sale 1807, 2380-September 1807, 3091

bales

6537

March sale 1808, 2025-total 9847 balessold in 2 years.-Half for one year, 4,923

Actual consumption per annum, bales 11,460 Quantity now in the country as above 4,793 Deficit if no Italian silks come in, bales 6,667 The foregoing statement we give from real documents in our possession, and we trust Parliament will take off all the duties of importation in order to encourage our merchants to import and speculate in an article which employs so many thousands of our poor industrious countrymen, at present famishing in and about Spitalfields, &c. &c. The present duty is 12s. 24d. per lb. on all Italian thrown silk, and 5s. 54d. per lb. on raw silk.

We have the pleasure to state that part of the homeward bound Leeward Island feet is already arrived at Bristol, and the remainder we may hourly expect, they consist of 195 sail which sailed from Tortola, the 3d May jast. The Jamaica fleet is daily expected being now nearly 2 months on their homeward

planters, and of our merchants concerned in that trade, and be the means of keeping down the price of bread in this country, at a time when the Baltic is shut against us, (whence we have hitherto been supplied with large quantities of corn) as well as the ports of America, from which latter part of the world we have little prospect as yet of importing our usual supply of fine flour; we are therefore convinced that distilling from sugar will answer two good purposes, as aforesaid. The London market for sugars has been lately brisker than for some months past, and prices rather advanced, (see Price Current annexed). Cotton is rather dull in price, owing to the stagnation of trade at Manchester, but we have reason to know that it will not long be the case, as very considerable orders have arrived in town for large quantities of Manchester goods of every description, for the Brazils. If our friendly assistance to the Spaniards at this moment could prove effectual, there is little doubt but it would be the means of opening. a new and perhaps the most extensive and lucrative trade in the world to us, that of her colonies in South America, which retutn gold, silver, diamonds, and others precious stones, also cocoa, sugir tobacco, cotton, cochineal, and valuable drugs of several sorts, as aloes, jesuit's bark, sarsaparilla, brimstone, pimento, cantharides or Spanish flies, cassia, manna, amber, myrrh, &c. We hope and trust that the hemp of culture throughout the united kingdom will be attended to, as there is no shadow of doubt but it will amply repay the growers of it,-the most enormous price of this article in the London market at present being £105 per ton for clean Petersburgh hemp; and that imported from the East Indies of very inferior quality sells from £70 to £95 per ton. In our next report we expect to be able to give some account of the cargoes of Jamaica and Leeward Island fleets.

We cannot but suppose that the present dearth of silk in this country will operate as a premium to our provinces in India, and that they will exert themselves to supply our home consumption. This will tend to compensate the Company, in some degree, for its serious loss ou piece goods, will furnish an increasing source of industry to our subjects whose interests we are bound to consider in every practicable case, and will also render Great Britain independent of continental caprice. Hereafter, when the tyrant of his dominions shall offer us a supply, may we be able to bid him " go whistle: we have enough, without your kind your very hind intentions."
