Hem litters advise a very brisk market for cotton I
on Wednesday, on which (ley 3,456 bales were sold at '
improving Kees. Hayti sugar had attracted buyers
at 40 to 42 1., and during the week 27 000 kilograms
of whalebone have chansed hands at from2loto22ol.
per 50 kilosrams.
Tale operations in the colonial market during the
week have not been on a large scale. Coffee
has attracted most attention, and for native
Ceylon an advance of Is. was obtained.
Of this description 6,000 begs were disposed
of by public sale and 10,000 bags by private contract;
plantation being too high for shlopers, has not been
much noticed, and the public sale was fl e. Sugar
has maintained last week's prices, though the home
trade are holding off until the sth July, when
the reduction in the duties of foreign sugar will take
place. The transactions in this latter description
consist of three cargoes afloat; two from Bahia sold
at 20s. 3d., and one from Pernambuco at 19s. 3d. and
19s. 6d , being barely former rates. Rice is flat, end
does not maintain the advance noticed last week.
'Saltpetre is dull, and the business done Las been
very trifling. The indigo salts commence on
the 1011 July, when upwards of 13,000 chests
will be brought forward; meantime, busiuiss in it
appears to be deferred. In tea there is no alteration,
though higher prices are generally asked.
The second series of public wales of colonial wool
will commence on the 3rd July,and continue until the
3rd August, during which time about 40,000 bales
will be offered.
Tile Liverpool cotton market has been very ani-
mated during the week, and the total vales up to lest
al ht amoint to 74,190 bales at an ideates of k to
on Fe lakes prices, of which 16,400 American,and 3,070
Burets were taken on speculation, and for export
3,450 American and 210 of other descriptions. Th.
total import of Cotton for the month was 195,878
bales, of which 159,281 were American ; and the
total import from Sat January was 1,230,767 bales, of
which 1,065,990 were American. The &verso weekly
deliveries for home consumption, was in 1817, 19,710
bales ; in 1848, 26,830 b :Its ; and for this year, up
to the present time, 30,720 bales ; showing an
increase of more than 50 per cent. in the consump-
tion in less than 2 years.
