COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE:

LivEßroot, MAI- 21.—We have had a better demand
for British Plantation Sugar this week, and the holders
meeting the buyers freely, nearly 1000 lihds. have been
sold without any material alteration in prices; beside.;
which, 800 bags Bengal Sugar were taken by the Grocers
at 745. 6d. to 75g. per cwt. . Nothing done in Poreig,n.
About SOO punchs. West iridia Molasses have been sold,
principally Antigua and Demerara, at 255. to 265. 6d. per
cwt. as in quality. Our Coffee market remains inactive ;
there have been no public sales, and the business done by
private is very limited. The articles of Cocoa, Pimento
and 6inger remain without inquiry. Nothing worthy of
notice done in Rum.
The demand for Cotton continued very good throughout
the week, and yesterday it became particularly animated,
owing to a brisk speculative inquiry, which caused con-
siderable business to be then done. The prices of the lower
descriptions of American Cotton have advanced id. and
Brazil id. to -i-d. per lb. upon our last quotations. The
sales (of which about 4,000 bags American, 2,000 Brazil,
and 600 Egyptian, are on speculation) amount to 23,760
bags, consisting of
