THE BRAZILS.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
By the Swordfish, Captain Green, arrived in the Mer-
sey, we have received commercial accounts from Rio Ja-
neiro to the 12th ult., Bahia to the 20th, and from Per-
nambuco to the 23d.

RIO JANEIRO, DEC. 12.
Coffee—The market has not undergone much altera-
tion worthy of notice. Some inquiry has taken place
for Europe. Superior coffee is quoted at 2,900 reis to
3,000 reis per arroba; good firsts, 2,600 reis to 2,700
refs; and ordinary firsts, 2,100 reis t,) 2,300 reis. The
quality of this year's crop is decidedly inferior to the
Preceding one, the bean being generally small, not so
norg of so bright a colour as usual. The fine
qualities are, therefore, very scarce, in demand; whilst
Ordinary and the regular culft.es sell at proportionately
lower brices. The stock at market amounts to about
35,000 bags.
, Sugar—Campos sell almost exclusively for consump-
tion. at 2,900 reis per arroba for first quality whites,
and 2,100 to 2,000 reis per arroba for muscovadoes. The
sugar crop this year being expected to be very small,
Prices are not likely to decline ; on the contrary, a fur-
ther rise might be looked for.
Bides—The market has been cleared of the stock of
hides, there being now only about 10,000 River Plate
rid -Rio Grande unsold in the place. The last sales of
e former have been made at 138 reis per lb., and of
e latter at 140 reis per lb.
