LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, OCT. 25.

The demand for Sugar still continues confined to good and fine
descriptions, and the sales amount to 1000 hhds B.P. without much
alteration in prices, but brown qualities are still very dull, and may
be quoted rather . lower. Nothing worthy of notice has occurred
either in Bengal or Mauritius. Of Foreign Sugar, 100 chests Brazil
were disposed of, at from 20s for brown, up to 27s 6d for good
white, and 90 boxes very good strong Manilla Sugar at 28s per cwt.
—There has been no transaction of importance in Molasses.—No
public sale of British Plantation Coffee having been brought for-
ward, the business done by private has been very limited in this as
well as in Foreign ; prices remain without atleration.—A small of
Grenada Cocoa sold at 455, and 240 bags Barbados Ginger at 41s
to 42s 3d per cwt. a few bags of Pimento at aid, and 200 bags black
Pepper at 31d to 4d per lb.-1100 bags of Bengal Rice have been
sold, at 14s 6d to 15s 9d per cwt. in bond, for• middling and good
quality, with a parcel of dressed Carolina at 405 per cwt. duty paid.
—The business in Rum has been confined; to 30 puns of Demerara,
at 3s 6d for 6 per cent. O.P. and 6s 2d per gallon for fine strong
quality.
The public sales brought forward of Dry Saltery Produce have
been considerable, but little disposition was evinced to purchase,
and the trifling parcels disposed of were at a reduction in prices
generally; 40 chests Shell Lac found buyers at 32s 6d to 50s; 81
chests Lac Dye, chiefly damaged, at 6d to is per lb, and 83 pockets
Seed Lac at 30s per cwt.—For Indigo there has been a good inquiry,
but little is offering.—The sales of Saltpetre and Nitrate of Soda
have been trifling, and at rather lower prices.
The stock of Logwood being in very small compass, little has
been done, but full prices paid. In Fustic, the sales have been 25
tons of Cuba, at £lO to £ll, 20 of Tampico at 46 ss, and 100 of
Ceara at £6 lOs to £6 12s 6d; 10 tons of solid Nicaragua Wood
brought £lO, and 20 of Lima £l4 lOs to £l6 per ton; Camwood,
a few tons sold at £23 10s; in other sorts of Dyewoods nothing is
reported.—The demand for Turpentine continues regular, but with-
out briskness; 1100 to 1200 brls. have been sold at 12s 5d to 13s titl,
accordir's to quality ; old parcels in store are difficult of sale, whilst
new arrivals of good quality go off readily from the quay.—Nothing
reported in Stockholm, Archangel or American Tar.—Montreal Pot
Ashes have been sold at 24s 3d, but holders generally decline selling
at this price. Pearl Ashes have advanced, and sales to the extent
of about 200 brls have been made at 29s per cwt.—Hides.—The sales
have been limited, but full pricesjrave been obtained; bOOO dry Cal-
cutta Kips brought Bid to Sid for sound, 7tld to 7id for Ist rubbed,

4id for 2nds, 180 dry Arica lid, and 340 salted New South Wales 44d
per lb.—Tobacco. The sales of the week have been about 150 hhds.
of which exporters have taken 50, the Irish dealers 50, and our own
manufacturers 50 ; prices are very firm, particularly for the better
qualities, the recent arrivals from Virginia proving very deficient in
good and fine descriptions.
For Brimstone there has been a fair demand, the sales of the
week amounting to about 200 tons, at full prices.—Nothing worth
reporting has been done in Sumac, Argols or Cream of Tartar.—

having been confined to small parcels for immediate consumption.
—The effect produced on the Fish Oil market by the unfavourable
news from the Davis's Straits Fishery having in part subsided, and
the advance first obtained on Seal Oil not being supported, the
transactions of the week have amounted to about 80 tuns Seal at
to £33 for pale, and coloured in proportion; Cod Oil has been
in limited request, and fresh imports are daily expected.—Linseed
Oil has again declined to 2 s, at which price some business has been
done; pale Rape Oil is steady at the quotations.—Palm Oil is offer-
ing lower, having been effected by the decline in Tallow; a limited
business has been done at the reduced quotations.—ln Oil of
Turpentine but little has been done.—The transactions in Hemp
have been on a very limited scale; prices remain steady; a parcel of
Bombay brought £2O per ton.—ln Flax little or nothing has been
done.—The last advices from St. Petersburg having produced an
uufavourable effect on the Tallow market, prices have declined fully
is per cwt. at which reduction but little business is doing.
