LIVERPOOL GENERAL PRODUCE

MARKET.

FRIDAY, APRIL 30.

There has been a very good demand for all descriptions of
Sugar, and an advance of fully Is. per cwt. has been obtained,
and the quotations are raised accordingly; the sales consist of
700 Mids. 8.P., 10,000 bags Bengal, and 1100 bags Mauritius,
and the refiners still continue free buyers. The sales of Foreign
were only 160 bags yellow Pernambuco at 18s. per cwt. ; in-
creased demands on the part of holders prevented further
business. Molasses do not go off very readily, though the
stock is small, and import very inconsiderable; the business is
80 puns. clayed Cuba at 12s. 6d., and 40 puns. Antigua (an in-
direct parcel) at 13s. from the quay. There is more demand
for Jamaica Coffee, but the limited supply and the firmness of
holders check business, and only a few tierces are reported.
Of Foreign the sales are again extensive, comprising 6700 bags
St. Domingo (chiefly to arrive) at 38s. 6d. to 405., and 200 bags
Porto Rico at 435. 6d. to 465. per cwt. 100 tierces Carolina
Rice sold at 188. 6d. in bond, and 2000 bags Bengal, at 9s. 9d.
to 1 Is. 6d. per cwt. for ordinary to fine white. There is no
change in the market; the sales are 150 puns. Demerara. There
has been a good inquiry for common lflavoury and Hohow kinds
of Congou, chiefly on speculative account, and prices have
advanced full id. per lb. ; holders have not been willing sellers,

otherwise a much larger business would have been done. Tal-
low is in moderate request, at36s. 6d. for Petersburg Y.C., and
335. 6d. to 355. 6d. for South American. About 100 toms Lard
are reported at 475. 6d. to 48s. per cwt. Baltic Hemp is in

it request at former rates. 2900 bales Jute have been sold

this week at again advanced prices, realising Lit 10s. for good
common, to .6'14 10s. for good. 507. bales Coir Yarn are also
reported at £3O per ton.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,

FRIDAY, APRIL 30. •
In consequence of the favourable change of wind there have
been very large arrivals, which is likely to be the case for some
weeks to come ; importers offer their Cotton freely, as landed,
which is, so far, met by a good demand and extensive sales
daily. In the early part of the week rather higher prices were
obtained for the current qualities of American, but for the last
day or two buyers have had a greater choice, and the market
closes without spirit, at the quotations of Friday last. A fair
business has been done in Brazil, without change in prices, and
large transactions in Egyptian and Surat at previous rates.
Speculators have taken 13,740 American, 260 Pernam, 200
Bahia, 2570 Egyptian, and 980 Surat, and there are reported for
export 7::50 American, 300 Pernam, 30 Bahia, and 2501 Surat
The actual stocks in this port, as taken to-day, appear in the
annexed table, and prove highly satisfactory, being 10,500
more than the estimate :
