PROVISION MARKET.

The only variation in prices from those of last week up to this day is
in fine foreign Butter, which is in brisk demand, and Is. higher.

HA TMARKETS.

The supply to-day was good, and so was the demand. Very consider.
able business was done, and former prices ruled the market. Meadow
Hay 935. to 955. 105 s. and 108 s. ; Clover hay 112 a. to 120 s. and
103 s. ; Straw 300. to 395. per load.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
There is a fair disposition to purchase now in most primary
commodities, as the interior navigation is now open. The heavy
arrivals of East India produce will have a tendency to pre.
vent prices of such commoditses from advancing in the way
they otherwise might. To-day we had for public sales of Sugar
9,049 bags Manilla, 968 bags of Mauritius, and a small parcel of (la_
maged white Harannab. These sales progressed with a fair portion of
spirit, and when we left were realizing firm prices. British Plantation
Sugar sold flatly to-day, but did not decline in price, 395. is now asked
for fine crushed. Coffee :We had seine small sales of 8.P., Ceylon, and
Mocha to-day which secured much about former rates. The Coffeemarket
appears very firm ; 2,000 bags Brazil were also put up to sale, and sold
at 361. to 465., according to quality, which are about formen.pricoa.
This was the state of the market : and, generally speaking, the market is
in good corditiori for the seller.. Tea is quiet but. firm. Molasses
are flat, and vary in price from !9e. to 635. according to quality.
Rice is not quite in such brisk demand as it was. To.day we
had a public sale of 1,000 bags of East India, which went at about 13s.
to 105., according to kind. Spices are in good request privately, and.
very firm. Nothing doing in Rum; or la Cotton or Indigo worth no-
tice. Our principal sales for to-morrow are 8,670 bags of Mauritius,
and 2,800 bags of Bengal Sugar.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Fee. 26.
A fair quantity of Cotton was sold this day, about 3,000 bags having
been taken off the market. Holders are still very firm, and in all
instances have obtained fully the rates last quoted. 1,040 American,
gird. to Sid. ; 200 Egyptian, Od. to 12d. ; 300 Surat, 4id. to sid.
300 Pernam, 9d. to 90.; 100 Bahia, Bd. to 81d. ; 60 Peruvian, Bad. ;
100 Maranham, Bid. to 00.
