LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JUNE 21.

'there is a good demand, but owing to the small supply at market,
the sales are confined to 400 hhds. B.P. at steady prices. A small
lot of white Bengal brought 69s per cwt. The late arrivals of Mau-
ritius are not yet landed. No sales of consequence to note in

at 345, and 100 puns Antigua at 36s 9d per cwt. from the quay.—

amount to 250 casks of Jamaica; ordinary to middling qualities

43s 3d to 45s for ordinary to fair ordinary.—Nothing done in Cocoa,
Ginger, or Pimento.-150 bags black Pepper sold at 4d to 4id per lb.

bags have been sold, chiefly at 16s, in bond, for fair to good Bengal,
one lot at 16s 3d to 16s 6d, and inferior yellow at 9s 6d per cwt. ;

by the trade, at 3s 10d for 5 per cent. O.P. to 6s and (is 4d for 30 to

Wood, at £8 per ton.—The price of Turpentine is again rather
lower, 12s having been accepted for 600 brls of fair quality, but at
this price it is difficult to effect farther sales.—No alteration in Tar.
—Montreal Pot Ashes are still dull, and a few parcels only have been
sold, at various prices, from 24s 3d to 26s per cwt. In Pearl Ashes
some trifling sales have been made, at 32s to 325 6d.—Quercitron

at 73d per lb. and 2500 Horse Hides at 8s 3d to 1 vs gd each for sound.

worth particularising ; prices continue unaltered.

prices have been accepted ; 150 tons have been disposed of at 410
lOs to £lO5 to 410 15s for good quality.—There has been a fair in-

at 47s per cwt.—Only a limited business done in Olive Oil ; prices
remain without alteration.—The parcel of new pale Seal Oil which
arrived here last week, has been warehoused for the reason then
stated, the quotation for this article must therefore be considered
nearly nominal; the demand for Cod Oil continues very trifling.—
Seed Oils have become almost unsaleable, and prices still declining.
—The business in Palm Oil is very limited, at the prices quoted.—
Oil of Turpentine is offering lower.—ln Baltic Hemp there continues
little doing, a purchase in quantity could be effected below the
prices quoted; 100 bales East India Sunn have been sold at £l6 per
ton, and Bombay is offering lower without finding buyers.—Flax is
in limited request.—A fair business is doing in Tallow at the quota-
tions; about 120 pipes and serous Monte Video have been disposed
of at 44s 6d to 453, and for Grease 43s to 43s 6d per cwt.
