COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, DrIARCII 1, 1828.—The demand for British
Plantation Sugar is rather limited on the whole; the sales
this week amount to 400 hhds. only, consisting chiefly of
good scale qualities, which brought full prices, being rather
scarce; other sorts are neglected. Nothing done in East
India or Foreign Sugar : the stock of the former, in first
hands, is quite exhausted, and the quantity held by the
grocers is small.—West India Molasses remain dull, and
not a sale made.—The busines.s done in Coffee consists of
about 150 tierces Jamaica (mostly ordinary and unclean)
sold by auction, which went irregularly, in some instances
at a reduction of 2s. per cwt.: the better qualities arc be-
coming scarce, and are held firmly.--Cocoa, Pimento, and
Ginger remain dull.—Of Rum about 200 puncheons have
been sold : Demerara 5 to 6 0. P. at 2s. 3d., and Jamaica
of good flavour, 13 0. P. at 3s. id. per gallon.

Bengal have been disposed of at 13s. 9d. to 14s. 6d. per
cwt.-Although the supplies of Graia from Ireland since
our last have been moderate, the market generally has been
in a dull state, with some tendency to decline in prices.
For Wheat. and Flour in bond there is only a partial de-
mand.-New American Flaxseed for sowing goes off slowly;
there are orders at ls. to 2s. per hhd. below our quoted
prices, but no disposition to sell below 475. to 475. 6d. for
New York Seed, at which prices about 300 tees. have

sales have been effected.-Nothing has been done in Tur-
pentine.-Of Tar the sales are 380 brls. Carolina at
12s. 9d. per bd.-Our market for Ashes remains steady,
and we have to notice some little improvement in the de-
mand, but without any alteration in prices; the total sales

yesterday were but thinly attended, and what were sold
went off rather heavily. Of 195 chests Bengal, consisting
of ordinary to good consuming qualities, but generally
mixed and broken, 170 chests found buyers : prices rang-
ed from 2s. 4d. to 6s. 9d. per lb. and may be considered
on the whole nearly on a par with those of the East India
Company's last quarterly sale ; the sales opened without
spirit, but improved a little towards the close. Besides
these, there were offered 183 chests of Oude, nearly all of
the same quality, of which only three chests were sold at
3s. to 3s. 2d. per lb., the remainder being withdrawn for
rather higher prices than the buyers were disposed to give.
