LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, DEC. 20.

There has been a very good demand for the better descriptions of
B.P. Sugar, which command full prices, whilst for the strong brown
qualities, (of which a few here have been taken by the Refiners,)
holders have accepted rather lower rates. The total sales are 1.300
hhds. For a parcel of low damp Bengal offered by auction yester-
day, there were no bidders, but 2,000 bags fine white have been
taken by the Grocers at 70s 64 per cwt. There has been a good
demand for Foreign Sugar ; the sales are 300 cases, chiefly Pernams,
middling to dry brown at Ips to 21s, and middling to fine whites 23s
to 275; also 56 hhds St Croix, brown, at 21s per cwt.—No transac-
tions in Molasses.—Coffee. There is a fair demand for good or.
dinary and middling qualities of Plantation; the sales amount to
160 casks of Jamaica, at about previous rates; co bags Demerara
were also sold at the quotations. Nothing done in Foreign.—Rice
is in good request, and about 7,200 bags have been sold, chiefly mid-
dling and fair Bengal, at 12s to 140, with a parcel of inferior yellow

to buy ordinary consuming qualities ; a few serons Guatimala hare
been taken at 5s yd per lb.-65 chests Shell Lac sold at 35s to 535,
and 330 bags Bengal Turmeric at aos.—Bengai Sathower is lower.
—There continues to be !a good demand for Saltpetre, but higher
prices are required the sales are about 1,000 bags, at 25s 3d to
27s dd.

The demand for Logwood has been extremely limited, and to
effect sales holders must have submitted to lower rates; about 150
tons of Savanilla Fustic sold at 4'5 to 45 2s 6d, but in other descrip-
tions there is nothing to report.—There arc no sales either of Tar
or Turpentine to communicate; prices remain without alteration.

at 243. Pearl Ashes are in very limited demand, at previous quota-
tions.—Quercitron Bark still continues neglected, and quotations
nominal.—There is a good demand for Flaxseed, for crushing, and

low Cuba 46 5s per cwt. in bond.—Hides. About 8,400 salted
Monte Video Ox have been sold at sid per lb, with 51bs tare,
which is an advance of fully 6d per lb; in other descriptions there
are no sales to;report.—Tobacco. The sales of the week amount
to 130 !Aids ; of which 10 were for Ireland, SO for exportation, and
the remainder to the Trade.

at,410 per ton.—Small sales of Sikily Sumac at 13s pd from the
quay.—Nothing done in Cream of Tartar or Argols.—Nosgales re-
ported in bladders or Madder Roots.—The business in Olive Oil is
confined to a few small parcels, at previous rates; the disposable
stock of Galipoli in this port is neatly exhausted; for the little re-
maining ~665 per tun is now asked.—The late extensive purchase of
Seal Oil has not much improved the market, as there are still sellers
at little more than the rates previously current ; Cod Oil has, how-
ever, been in better demand, and about 40 tuns sold at £2B.—For
pale Rape Oil there continues hardly any inquiry;. Linseei Oil has
been sold on lower terms, and the annexed quotation is almost

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 20.
In the early part of, the week there was a disposition to effect
sales, and prices of American declined id per lb ; within the last

partially recovered, excepting for good qualities of American, which
are still heavy of sale, at a decline of td to id per lb. Speculators
have taken 1700 American, and Exporters 2,000 American and 100
