COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, SHPT. 1.-The demand for British
Plantation Sugar has been steady during this week,
and 700 hhds. have been sold at about Is. per cwt.
advance on the middling qualities, and at former
prices for other descriptions. In East India Sugar

alteration in prices; 130 punchs. St. Lucia have

mand. The Rum market is steady; 150 punchs.
have been sold during the week.
We have again experienced a dull week in our

the prices of the inferior descriptions of Bowed and

id. per lb. in the common qualities; Stained also

offered, there were sold 850, at 104 d. a 11fd. for
middling to fair; 11 d. a 12id. for good fair to
good ; 13d. a 14V. for fine; 150 Stained, at 54d.

have been taken on speculation. The arrivals are
9,218 bags.
With the exception of the public sales of Tobacco
on the 28th ult., there has been but little done in
any description since our last ; there were then sold
by auction 230 hhds. Virginia, which went at 21d.
to 24d. for ordinary sound Leaf; lid. to 34d. for
middling, and 34d. to 4d. for fair to good ; the
Stemmed brought 24d. to 44d. per lb. according to
quality; being a decline of id. to id. per lb. The
business done in Ashes this week has been limited,
holders generally, requiring higher prices than the
buyers are disposed to give. The sales are only 50
brls. Montreal Pot at 275. 6d. to 28s. for old; 120
brls. Pearl at 28s. to 295., and 250 brls. New York
and Boston Pot at 275. for the former, and 295. per
cwt. for the latter.

Of 345 chests Bengal Indigo and 124 serous
Caraccas offered, only 150 of the Bengal were sold ;
the Caraccas being held at too high prices were all
withdrawn ; compared with the prices obtained here
at the public sales of the 27th and 28th of July, the
good and fine qualities went at a decline of 9d. to Is.
per lb., and the low to middling consumers at a re-
duction of 3d. to 6d.; holders do not seem disposed
to press sales at present. There has been more in-
quiry for Lemon Juice, and some sales have been
made is strong concentrated at 11d. per deg. Of
Brimstone upwards of 200 tons have been sold, prin-
cipally at .5/. 2s. 6d., with some small parcels at 51.
10s. per ton. There is a scarcity of Saltpetre here,
and rather higher prices have been obtained for the
few sales which have been effected. Tallow has
been in better demand than for some time past, and
upwards of 600 casks of Petersburgh Yellow Candle
have been sold at 38s. to 38s. 6d. per cwt.' Valonia

No further imports of rough Turpentine having
been received this week, the only small parcel re-
maining in the importers' hands, being 172 barrels,
has been sold from the quay at Us. 9d. per cwt.
The import of new Turpentine has not been so ex-
tensive as was expected, and as the distillers are now
in full work, owing to the extensive demand for
Rosin, the stock of the raw material is getting low,
and the fresh imports are likely to meet a ready sale
at full "prices.-In Tar, nothing done but by the
dealers, none remaining in importers' hands. Rosin is
in good request, and 6s. 6d. to 6s. 9d. obtained for

delphia brings 15s. 6d.; 20 casks middling New

price of rough Brimstone has occasioned some in-
quiry, and about 200 tons have been sold at
