LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 10.
There has been a very animated demand for Sugar during the
whole week, particularly for the brown and middling descriptions,
which, being very scarce, have realized almost a daily advance in
prices, and buyers are still anxious to purchase at the extreme quota-
tions. The sales consist of 1600 casks B.P. together with 7000 bags
of Mauritius, from 65s to 66s 6d, and 4500 bags of good to line
white Bengal, at 67s to 69s per cwt. which may also be considered
an improvement of fully Is per cwt. upon previous sales. There has
been a good demand for Foreign Sugar; 150 chests and 100 brls
Pernams have been disposed, fine whites realizing 33s per cwt. and
100 chests brown Bahia, to arrive, at 233 6d per cwt.; a cargo of
Manilla, of 450 tons, has also been sold to arrive, at 24s 6d per cwt.
—Molasses continue in request, and about 200 puns of Demerara
have been sold, at 33s per cwt.—Coffee. The market is almost bare
of Plantation, and the sales consequently are very trivial, not ex-
ceeding 40 casks of Jamaica; the annexed quotations are firmly
supported. 20 bales Mocha, of fair quality, brought 94s per cwt.
Nothing done in Foreign.—Nothing done in Cocoa ; but a small
parcel of Jamaica Ginger sold at los. and 600 bags Bengal at
',Os per cwt. ; also 180 robins black Pepper at 41d per lb.—Rice.
Nothing done in East India ; about 50 tees of dressed Carolina have
been sold; at 40s per cwt. duty paid.—The demand for Ruin con-
tinues, and nearly 400 puns have been sold, chiefly common Lee-
wards, 3 to 10 O.P. at 39 7(1 to 38 I Id, fine Demerara, 30 to 35 O.P.
at 5s 7d to 5s 9d, with a few hhds of East India, 19 to 27 O.P. at
3s 9d to 4s 2d per gallon.
The principal part of. the East India Indigo advertised for sale on
the 9th inst. was previously withdrawn; of the remainder, about
70 chests, offered little more than 20 found buyers ; previous rates
were barely maintained.—The following goods are reported, viz. 20
serous Cochineal (damaged) at 5s 4d to 55 lld for silver, and 6s 3d
to 6s 4d for black ; 160 bags Terra Japonica at 24s 6d to 26s ; Kutch,

meric at 25s.—Small bales of Nitrate of Soda are making at the
quotations.—ln Saltpetre the business is still very limited
Dyewoods. There is no particular change in Logwood this week ;
the sales of Carnpeachy are about 100 rons, at to £l2 10s, and
fO of Jamaica at .e 8 lOs to £8 15s per ton ; very trifling sales made
in Fustic, and nothing reported in Nicaragua Wood, Barwood, or
Camwood.—There is no alteration in the price of Turpentine ; 484
brls have been sold at 138 4d.—ln American tar no sales.—The
ousiness in Montreal Pot Ashes has been limited to 100 to 200 brls.
at 26s 6cl. at which price, however, there are few sellers. No sales
reported of Pearl Ashes.—Quercitron Bark continues in very
limited demand, at former rates.—ln the early part of the week
some sales of New York Flaxseed, for sowing, were effected at 701
per hhd. but a parcel has subsequently been disposed of at 62s 6d,
and this price is no longer obtainable, owing to the advanced statei
of the season ; quotations are, therefore, now quite nominal.—
Nothing of consequence done in Cloverseed.—Hides. At the pub
11,4 sales to-day, dry salted Ikezils sold briskly, at improving prices,
