COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 26.—Our Market for British
Plantation Sugar remains firm, and barely supplied:
the sales this week amount to 650 hhds. at very full
prices. Nothing done in East India Sugar. A
parcel of 800 boxes Havannah Sugar, (most yellow)
offered by auction, was withdrawn, and is held at
:355. to 375. for yellow, and 455. to 475. per cwt. for
fair white.—There have been no sales made of West
India Molasses—The public sales of Coffee have
consisted principally of the ordinary qualities of
,Tamaica, which descriptions support our last quota-
tions, and a few small lots of middling and good
middling, which brought an advance of Is. to 2s. per
cwt.—Cocoa, Ginger, and Pimento, remain dull.—
The business done in Rum is limited : prices are
-ready.

Our Cotton Market has continued without
interest this week ; the sales have been rather
limited, amounting to 9,900 bags, chiefly to the

main without alteration from our last quotations.
The sales consist of

3,900 Bowed at aid. to 6-V. chiefly at 41. to bid. for
