COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 25.—The demand for British
Plantation Sugar in the early part of this week Was
again limited, and although the market was but
scantily supplied, rather lower prices were submitted
to in some instances. Yesterday there was more
disposition on the part of the Grocers to purchase,
and some small parcels were disposed of at prices
which could not be obtained for the last fortnight. The
total quantity sold is about 550 hhds., besides which
'a small parcel of Bengal Sugar has been sold, good
yellow at 695., and fine white at 765. per cwt.: and
of Foreign Sugar 35 chests Pernambuco have been
sold on board the vessel and unseen, the white at
38s. 6d., and brown at 28s. 6d. per cwt., to be taken
off the quay at the purchaser's expense.—Nothing
done in Molasses worthy of notice, and the business
done in Coffee is confined to a few lots of Jamaica
to the trade at former prices.—Pimento is in good
request, and very little at market.—Cocoa and
Ginger remain dull.—The sales made in Rum are
limited ; prices remain steady.

been realised on Seal Oil ; a sale was made early in
the week at 23/. for Pale, since which several small

latter price, the import of Pale not being so large as
was expected, Cod Oil is steady at 231. per tun.
