LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JUNE 28.

There is only a moderate demand for Sugar, but as holders do nol
press sales, there is little alteration in price, and the business in B.P.
is under 200 hhds. For Mauritius (which are cheaper in proportion)
there is a better inquiry, and 4400 mats have been taken, chiefly at
64s 6d to 66s 6d, with 1200 bags Bengal, at 68s 6d to 69s per cwt. for
middling to good white. The market for Foreign Sugar has become
very dull; there is scarcely an inquiry.—ln Molasses not any sales
have been made, the recent arrivals not being landed.—Coffee.
There continues a very steady demand for Plantation, and the sales
amount to 260 casks of Jamaica, at extreme rates; 2000 bags of
Ceylon (at 6d duty) were also sold, at 103 s 6d to 117 s 6d, chiefly at
103 s 6d to 110 s. 230 frazils of Mocha, fine garbled, brought 118 s per
cwt. Of Foreign, 50 brls coloury Havana sold at 50s to 525, and a
small parcel- of-very ordinary Brazil at 40s per cwt.—Nothing done
in Ginger, Pepper or Pimento.—Rice. 2000 bags of Bengal have
been taken for cleaning, at Ils 6d per cwt- in bond for ordinary, and
14s 6d to 17s for middling to fine quality, and 40 tcs dressed Carolina,
for home-use, at 40s per cwt. duty paid.—Rum. The market being
cleared of all parcels suitable for home-consumption that were
ready for sale, there is not a transaction to notice, and the only par-
cel taken for exportation is a small one of East India, in hhds. 25
per cent. O.P. at 4s Id per gallon.
No transactions worthy of notice have been reported this week in
East India rDry Saltery produce.-400 bags Nitrate of Soda have
been taken within the range of the quotations. •
Dyewoods. Several public sales have been held in Logwood,
which have established lower prices ; of Campeachy about 120 tons
sold at .e 9 10s. and 120 tons of Jamaica, principally at per ton ;
of Fustic, 100 tons of Cuba have been sold to arrive, but the price
has not transpired, and 40 tons of Spanish at .t'l2 to "13 5s per
ton; nothing reported in other descriptions.—Turpentine has fallen
Is per cwt. 1000 brls of good quality having been sold to-day at 11 s
per cwt.-1000 brls of Swedish Tar have been sold, but the exact
price has not transpired —Several sales of Montreal Pot Ashes have
been made, at 24s for the brand of 1838, and at 23s for that of 1837 ;
31s has been accepted for Pearl Ashes, but for any farther quantity
this price could scarcely be obtained.—Hides. The only sales to re-
port are 13,000 salted Monte Video Ox, at 4id per lb, which is a re-
duction of id per lb on last week's prices.—The sales of Tobacco
during the month amount to 365 hhds; comprising 146 Virginia leaf
and 112 stemmed, 47 Kentucky leaf and 60 stemmed ; of these 145
have been taken for export, 40 for Ireland, and the remainder by the
trade. In prices there is no change.
The slight reduction in the prices of Brimstone mentioned in the
circular of last week, has led to a disposition on the part of specu-
lators to purchase to some extent, and upwards of 1300 tons have
changed hands during this week, establishing an advance on the
previous quotations of 5s per ton.—No sales worthy of notice are
reported in Sumac.—Argols and Cream of Tartar are in steady de-
mand.—Of Madders and Madder Roots the sales have been limited.
—Olive Oil has been dull of sale, and the principal business of the
week has been the supplying of small parcels for immediate use.—
The only sale in Fish Oils this week is 10 tuns of the new pale Seal
at £3O from the quay ; Cod Oil is steady at the prices quoted.—Oil
of Turpentine is dull at the quotation.—A parcel of 15 tons Peters-
burg clean Hemp has been disposed of at a farther reduction in
price; the Ropers still come very sparingly into the market.—Flax
is without inquiry.—The business in Tallow has been very limited,

and in some Instances rather lower rates have been submitted to
by holders.

been taken for export.

gad, and American at dad to gad.
