LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, OCT. 1
Sugar.—There has been a very good demand for the better des
criptions, which are rather dearer. but low brown qualities continu
to he neglected. The sale of B. P. are 600 hhds. ; 3200 bag
Bengal and 22,0 bags Mauritius have also been disposed of at full
prices. Foreign.—A cargo of 1040 boxes brown and yellow
Havana has been sold to the refiners at 205.3(1, likewise 190 hhds.
brown and middling Porto Rico at :7s to Igs, and a parcel of
about 50 cases. Pernambuco, at i6s for fair brown, and 205 per cwt.
for ordinary white. The sale of B. P. Molasses amount to 750
puns., at 26s 6d for Antigua, and 245 for old Barbadoes. 150 puns.
Porto Rico and Cayenne have also been sold at 6s 6d to 7s pet cwt.
Coffee.—The transactions in Plantation have been to a fair extent.
and comprise 230 casks Jamaica: for ordinary, middling and w•od
middling qualities the demand was moderate, and these qualities
sold rather heavily at a decline, in most instances, of 2s to as per
cwt., whilst flue and extra fine brought previous rates; for a
favourite mark, being of very superior quality, there was a brisk
competition, and 16tis to 162 s were realized. 30 bags good Rio,
via Cape, brought 50s per cwt. Of Foreign, 70 bags sold;
Bahia at 38s, and La Guayra at 45s per cwt. Nothing done in
Pimento or Ginger. A small parcel of St. Domingo Cocoa sold at
375, and 100 bags black Pepper 34d to 4id per lb. Rice.—Nearly
6000 bags Bengal have been taken at rather lower rates, viz. at
lOs ad to les 6d for ordinary broken, and 13s ad for fine white, and
a small parcel of fine Carolina at 365. Rum.—The demand for
B. P. is limited, the sales being only 100 puns., at rather lower rates,
excepting for very favourite marks.
Tea.—Throughout the week the market has been quiet and firm,
but few transactions have taken place.
Some trifling sales made in Bengal Indigo, at full prices, with
about 50 scrolls of Caracca. By auction, 50 chests of dainaged
East India Gum Arabic sold, and; a few chests of Gum Animi, at
advanced rates ; 20 bales of Bengal Safflower at gas, and 40 bales
of Bombay at 35, 500 baskets of Gambier at 16s to I6s 6d, 200 bags
of Linseed at 55s per quarter. For Saltpetre there continues a fair
inquiry, and isoo bags sold at 2gs tid to 31s 6d, and 700 bags of
Nitrate of Soda at 24s to 245 6d per cwt.
Dyewoods.—The sales of Logwood this week altogether are
scarcely 100 tons, at about previous rates ; no sales reported in
Fustic ; 150 tons Barwood were sold at previous prices. The
Turpentine market is rather lower, and its 2d has been accepted for
1300 brls. No sales reported in Stockholm or American Tar. There
is less demand both for Pot and Pearl Ashes, but the stock is so
much reduced that holders have been enabled to obtain former
prices for such small parcels as have been sold. Hides.—Brazil are
in demand, and 1200 dry salted have been sold at 6d to 6.1 d, and
780 wet salted at 5-jd per lb ; but prices of salted River Plate are
barely supported ; 4500 Ox are reported at 4d, and a few Cow at
4-Id per lb. Tobacco.—There has been a fair business done during
the week, whilst for the month the sales amount to upwards of 1000
Mids., of which 500 were Kentucky stemmed, and 270 leaf; the
remainder consists of Virginia leaf and strips, in about equal
proportion. Prices have undergone very little alteration. We have
now four cargoes in from Virginia, one only of which is yet sampled,
and with that nothing has been done.
There is no change in the state of the market for Brimstone, the
demand continuing to take off several hundred tons per week, and
the sales reported in the present being 250 tons. For Sumac there
has been rather more inquiry, and 330 to 4110 bags sold at 9s fal to
les per cwt. for Sicily, with some new at rather higher rates. The
250 casks Oporto Argols offered at auction were chiefly bought in,
at prices 2s to 3s higher than the buy, rs were disposed to give. A
few casks of brown Tartar brought 495. Cream of Tartar neglected.
All the Persian and Turkey Berries offered at auction were taken in
for want of bidders. There is not much inquiry for Madders or
Roots; but our extreme quotations for Turkey Roots have this
week been realized for a small parcel. Quercitron Bark is quite
neglected. The demand for Olive Oil has been good, and, owing
to its scarcity, rather higher prices paid for common descriptions ;
the sales, including some parcels of Spanish to arrive, have been
nearly 150 tuns. Fish Oils are steady, but there is not a brisk de-
mand ; a few small lots of Cod and pale Seal have been sold at
former rates. Linseed Oil moves off slowly at the annexed quota-
tion. Pale Rape, of fine quality, has realized 565. Oil of Turpen-
tine continues dull at 4gs to 50s. Palm Oil has advanced £1 per
ton ; the sales this week amount to 500 tons, beginning at £32 to
£32 Si for 250 to 300 tons, off the quary ; but £32 15s to .t'33 has
since ~een paid, and there now remain very few sellers, even at
this advance. Hemp and Flax continue neglected, and we reduce
the quotation for Petersburg Hemp iOs per ton, at which reduction
there are sellers. The Tallow market continues rather dull ;
, Petersburg yellow Candle has been sold at 6d decline, and South
American, particularly the inferior sorts, are tid to Is lower.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 2.
In our circular of Thursday, we describe the market as having
been unperceptibly creeping up for some time past. Buyers seem
to have found this out, and to-day there has been a large business
done under the impression that Cotton is now at the lowest point,
and a safe investment, ind speculators have to-day taken 1,500 to
2,000 bales, which with 4,000 mole to the trade makes a large
business, and the market closes with every symptom of au excited
day for Monday.
