COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LtvEaroot, 111 A RCM B.—The business done in British
Plantation Sugar this week is very limited, consisting only
of 200 hhds. of good grocery Sugars; this description,
however, supports full prices, being rather scarce ; but the
lower qualities are quite neglected. Nothing done in East
India or Foreign Sugar.—A parcel of good Demerara Mo-
lasses have been sold at 275. 6d. per cwt.—Our Coffee
market continues in an inactive state : about 150 tees. Jamaica
have, however, been sold to the Grocers, mostly ordinary
and unclean, at a trifling redaction ; besides which 650
bags ordinary St. Domingo were sold by auction (with
all faults) at 31s. 6d. to 345. per cwt.—Cocoa, Ginger,
and Pimento are without inquiry. The Rum market re-
mains steady; sales limited.

ing of

There has been rather more demand for Tobacco since
our last, the trade having purchased more freely than for
some weeks past; prices remain without alteration. —ln
Carolina Rice only a few trifling sales have been effected.—
We hare no material alteration to notice in the state of our
Corn market this week ; the sales of Wheat have been li-
mited, and the prices (exeepting the best qualities) barely
supported.---A large supply of Irish Oats has depressed
the prices Id. to 2d. per lolbs., but at this reduction
some considerable sales were made.—The demand for
Cloverseed has been nearly suspended ; several parcels of
Dutch and Flemish recently arrived will be brought for-
wards to public sale in the course of next week.—The
holders of new sowing Flaxseed having been mere disposed
to meet the buyers, have submitted to a reduction of Is. to
I s. Gd. par hlid. : the sales amount to about 920 casks New
York at 465. to 475., principally at the former price, and
400 Philadelphia at 435. 64. per hhd.—There has been
a partial inquiry for Quercitron Bark : 50 casks new Phi-

There is no alte►ation to notice in the state of our
market for Dyewoods. For Logwood the home demand
remains limited, the sales being 70 tons Campeachy, at 71.
155., and 30 tons Jamaica, at 6/. 15s. ; besides 160 tons
have been taken for export at 71. 10s. per ton in bond.
Fustic of pod quality does not offer freely ; some sales of
Spanish have been effected at 71. 2s. 6d. to 71. 10s., but
the holdera of Cuba are demanding 121. per ton. In
Nicaragua Wood or Harwood, we have heard of no sales.
A parcel of inferior and rusty Camwood has been disposed
of at 101., but for the best qualities 131. to 14/ is de-
manded. Since the public sales of Indigo last week, our
market has remained quiet, and the business done has been
confined to small orders for consumers at our quotations.

parcel 01680 bags Verona Shumac, just arrived,was offered
by auction, but withdrawn, there being no bid above 7s.
per cwt. ; it has since been sold at about 7s. 6d. from the
ship side ; the sales of other descriptions have been very
limited. For Madder Roots there appears to be but little
demand, and though some of our holders are asking higher
prices, the buyers do not seem disposed to give any ad-
vance ; 150 bales French have been sold at 415., and a
few hales of good Turkey at 465. per cwt. Aladders con-
tin►►e in fair request at our quotations. Brimstone con-
tinues almost without inquiry. Saltpetre finds buyers
more freely; the sales for the week are about 850 bags,
principally at 245. 6d. to 255., with small lots at 258. 6d.
to 265. per cwt. Olive Oil remains dull of sale, and the
prices rather unsettled ; the only sales reported are small
lots at our previous quotations. Yale.► Oil and Tallow re-
main steady ; of the former 50 tons (old) have been dis-
posed of at 28/. per ton, and of the latter 50 casks
Yellow Candle at 455. 6d. per
.cwt. No sales worth notice
have been made in Valonia. The market for Hides is
steady; the business done since our last consists of 4,000

lb. ; besides which there have been sold 450 New York
salted at 4id., and 140 West India at 6id. per lb.
