LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 7

Sugar.—Owing to the uncertainty which prevails as to the
alteration of duties, the demand has been almost entirely suspended,

Tea.-At the beginning of the week the market was very quiet,
but on the arrival of the overland mail yesterdny, bringing accounts
of a further delay in the adjustment of our disputes with China,
holders became very firm, and withdrew their Teas from the market :
and as little or nothing has been done since, our quotations may
be considered nominal.

No sales reported in Indigo,'excepting a few serons of Guatimala
at 4s 10d per lb. 50 chests, of liver Shell Lac sold at 40s, 12 chests
of Gum Arabic at 445, and 10 bales of Bombay Safflower at 345 per

to 1200 brls, have been sold at 11s 6d to 112 7d, but 1000 brls. offered
yesterday were withdrawn, the highest bid being 115 ad per cwt.
A parcel of 350 brs American Tar was sold 13s 6d per hrl. on the

have been sold at 29s per cwt. Hides.—The market continues
steady ; about 2500 dry Buenos Ayres Ox are reported at 70 to lid,
1000 salted Monte Video at 4d to 40, 1320 dry Lima at bid to 61d,
400 dry salted Paraiba at lid per lb: 300 dry Buenos Ayres Horse

(chiefly at.sad) were taken for Ireland.

The market for Brimstone remains in an unsettled and depressed
state, with small sales making; a parcel of fine Tuscan sold from

Olive Oil, but there have been some arrivals, which will keep the
market better supplied than it has been for some time past. A few
tuns pale Seal Oil are reported 432 los; in other kinds of Fish
Oils nothing has been done. Some inquiry still continues for new
Seal Oil to arrive,'but the Importers are not disposed to sell until
furteer accounts are received by the Fishery: Seed Oils are more
steady, and sellers not inclinettto go on at the reduction noticed last
week. Oil of Turpentine has receded fuity 30s per ton ; the price
to-day is £52 10s, but is little more than nominal. Palm Oil is in
good demand ; the sales during the week have been 250 tons, at
434 lOs to £3l, and the lowest price is now 435, with few sellers.
The stock of Russian Hemp being held for high prices, and the
Trade pretty well supplied, there is little doing; but Jute is in good
demand, and 1000 bales have been sold at 413 15s to .414 lOs per

pipes South American, of fine quality, brought 43s 6d to 44s 6d
per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 7

The demand for Cotton to-day has been very limited, and
our market has even a quieter appearance than usual, and
greater difficulty experienced to effect sales ; and the total
amount of business is rather under than over 2000 bales.
The sales of the week are 17,300 bales, of which 1200
American have been taken for export, and 1000 by specula-
tors ;—as to prices, we may remark, that there is no change
since last Friday, except that the middling to fair descrip-
tions of American have been met with rather cheaper, say -kd
per lb.
