LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JAN. 16

The demand for B. P. Sugar continues limited, and the sales
are about 200 Mids., without any change in prices. For Bengal
there has been a better inquiry, particularly for the brown and
yellow descriptions, of which the sales, amounting to 10,000
bags, chiefly consist; fair white are neglected. 3,601 bags
Madras sold, chiefly at 475. per cwt., and a small lot of Mauri-
tius at the quotations. Two public sales of foreign Sugar, in
barrels, were attempted, but without success.—The sales of
Molasses consist of 280 caske Berbice, at 21s. 6d. per cwt. from
the quay.—Coffee—There is a decided improvement in the de.
cided improvemert iu the demand for British Plantation, and
sales of Jamaica have been made to the extent of 250 tees. ; for
really fine and good clean ordinary qualities extreme rates have
been obtained, and steady prices for other descriptions. About
150 bags Rio (chiefly damaged) have been sold at 375. to 405.,
and a few casks good coloury middling (sound) at 58s. per cwt.,
50 bags low ordinary Bahia are reported at 275., and a few
barrels and bags Maracaibo at 48s. to 68s. per cwt. There is a
demand for ordinary Foreign Coffee for export, but nothing has
ben done, in consequence of holders refusing to accept the
tiersent low quotations.—A small parcel of Para Cocoa sold for
$ lips' stores at 31s. 6d. per cwt., and black Pepper at 3d. pen
lb.—No sales of Ginger or Pimento.—Rice.-3,0..0 bags Benga
sold at 12s. 6d. for broken, 155, to 158. 60. per cwt. for good
white.—Rum.—The business is very limited in %Vest India; 115
casks East India, of high strength, have been sold at full rates.
The Tea market continues firm, and rather more business
doing.
At the East India Drysaltery sales this week very little was
done; about 5o chests Gum Arabic" (all faults) sold at 655. to
675., and 20 chests bleached Bees' Wax at £8 55.; a small lot
of Sago Flour sold at 21s. per cwt.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 13

The arrivals since our report of the 6th instant, com-
prise a fair quantity of Wheat and Flour, with a moderate
supply of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland; the receipts
Coastwise, however, are still very trivial; whilst from the
Mediterranean and American States, the imports of the
week form collectively a tolerably good.accession, as will
be observed on reference to the list subjoined.
There was a moderate attendance at this day's market,
wheats declined about 3d per 701bs from this day week, at
which reduction necessitous buyers took to a fair extent,
but all other articles were exceedingly dull. Flour
at is., and Oatmeal at Gd. to Is. per sack decline from
last Tuesday's currency. A cargo fair Stettin Wheat sold
at 7s. 3d. per 70 lbs. in bond, and States Flour is offered
at 28s. to 28s. 6d. per barrel under lock.

CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY 16,

The duty on foreign Beans has advanced to 3s. Gd., and on
Peas to is. 6d. per quarter, remaining unvaried on all other
articles.

During the last three days the arrivals of Grain, Flour and
Oatmeal, both coastwise and from Ireland, are extremely
but we have a good supply of Wheat and several cargoes of
Beans from Europe; while of States Flour the supply is fol..
lowed up this wee in limited quantity only, and there are no
fresh imports of Canadian produce.
Since Tuesday the trade bas been in a very languid state
generally, and at our market this morning business in any ar.
ticle was almost wholly suspended; for, although in many in-
stances the stocks of the millers and dealers are very Incon-
siderable, they still appear determined to wait until the inten-
tions of parliament are explicitly declared.
Meanwhile, with the exception of Oats, which, continuing
extremely scarce, uphold late prices, rather lower rates would
have ,been accepted, had sales beyond a merely retail amount
been practicable.
Under these circumstances, therefore, notwithstanding any
precisely accurate quotations can scarcely be formed, we may
observe that Wheat of all descriptions eras offered Id. per 701. b.,
Barley and Malt Is. per quarter, Irish and Canadian Flour is.
per sack and Is. per barrel, under the currency of Tuesday last
with very little effect; and Beans, Peas, anu Oatmeal were the
turn cheaper.
The only transactions reported in the bonded market consist
of 500 barrels of States Flour at 285., and a parcel of American
Wheat, the price of which was not allowed to transpire.
