THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

HUNGERFORD MARKET,
Fish to-day was in fair supply, and so were Meat and Poul try. The
severe weather operates against business, and prices were high, but do
not show any variation worth notice from our last report. Vegetables
are scarce and very dear, as may be expected. Hay and Clover firm
in price.

TALLOW AND OIL MARKET.
P. Y. C. Tallow is still steady at 48s. 6d. Fish Oils of all kinds are
21. per ton lower than they were last week, owing it is said to expects.
tiona of. large arrivals from those of our colonies that yield that article.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
None but small sales can now be effected. To-day we had a few
parcels of Bengal and Rio Sugar and Brazil Coffee advertized. Sugar of
all descriptions continued, when we left the market, to be quoted at much
the same figures as it has done for the last few days ; but the tendency
of prices is easier if not lower. Coffee is much as it was in every
respect ; but little selling, and prices unaltered. But little doing In any
commodity by private contract. Teals rather in demand, and prices are
firm. Spices are also firm, and so are Rice and Rum particularly. In the
price of approaching sales of Cotton but little is doing. Higher prices are
asked for Tobacco. In Colonial produce of the Canadas there is but
little stirring. The imports 'at the Customs, owing to the severe and
continued frost, are very slender.
The deficiency in the Stock of British Plantation Sugar, which we
noticed yesterday, was expected to have, and would have been much
greater, had it not been for the large importations of East India at the
equalized duty.

INDIGO SALE—(THIRD DAY.)
This sale progresses to-day much in every respect as it did yesterday,
which we reported. Speaking in round numbers -we should say that
between three and four thousand chests had passed the sale at the time
we left ; and that about one fifth of what passes the chair sells, or
perhaps rather more. The holders continue to show a strong disposi-
tion to support the market.
WOOL SALES.

Colonial Wool continues to deli with great and increased briskness
amidst a good attendance of buyers ; many of them from the manufac-
turing districts. Prices average now about 3d. per lb. higher than they
were at the last public sale.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
At this day's Market it was pretty evident that all the Cotton pur.
chased was for immediate use, the sales were very limited, only 2,000
bags having being sold, but these were sold at our last quotation.
100 Peruvian, Sid.; 100 Surat,, sd. ; 50 Pernam, 100. ; 10 Egyp.
tian; 13d. ; 30 Maranham, 3d. ; and 1,710 American, 7id. to tld. ;
Total 2,000.
