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,
and there are no sales of B. P. to report. 900 bags of Bengal have
been taken by the Grocers at 64s to 695, and 350 bags Mauritius, all
faults, sold by auction at rather lower prices. Foreign.—The sales
of the week are (on the spot) 200 casks good yellow Port Rico at
235, 140 boxes brown and yellow Havana at 22s to 23s 6d, and 200

sold at the quotations, and 120 hhds. of East India, 20 per cent 0. P.,
at is 9d per gallon.
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 34s per

Savanilla Fustic are reported at £4 15s to £5 28 6d : and 40 tons
Lima Nicaragua Wood at £l2 lOs to £l3 per ton. The Turpentine
market continues dull, and prices have declined 3d per cwt. ; 1150
to 1200 brls, have beeu sold at 1 Is 6d to 118 7d, but 1000 brls. offered
yesterday were withdrawn, the highest bid being lls 2d per cwt.
A parcel of 350 brs American Tar was sold 133 6d per brl. on the
quay. Montreal Pot Ashes are in a very limited demand, and the

have been sold at 29s per cwt. Hides.—The market continues
steady ; about 2500 dry Buenos Ayres Ox are reported at 7d to ;id,
1000 salted Monte Video at 4d to 43d, 1320 dry Lima at bid to 60,
400 dry salted Paraiba at 5/c1 per lb; 300 dry Buenos Ayres Horse

proved, and holders having been willing to meet the market, the
sales this week amount to 130 hhds., of which 90 hhds. Virginia leaf
(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

obtained. 50 bales Naples Roots sold at previous rates ; for other
descriptions there is some inquiry, out no sales reported. Nothing
done in Quercitron Bark. Only a few sales have been made iu
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 £32 10S; 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 accouuts arc received by the Fishery: Seed Oils are more
steady, and sellers not inclined to go on at the reduction noticed last
week. Oil of Turpentine has receded fulty 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
£34 lOs to £3B, and the lowest price is now £35, 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 £l3 15s to .414 105 per
ton. 50 bales Sutui Hemp are also reported at £lB 10s, and a few
bale of fine Manilla at £29. A fair inquiry has appeared through.

at 48s for Petersburg, and 47s 6d to 47s 9d for Odessa ; about 50
pipes South American, of tine 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 id
per lb.

COTTON MARKET, MAY 11

There is no new feature in the Cotton market. We continue to
have a very limited demand ; consumers merely purchasing for
the supply of their immediate wants in very small quantities,
averaging about 2000 bales per day. No change in prices, and
though we quote tile market easier from time to time, spinners
cannot meet with Cotton when they come down, at prices they had
previously expected, and many return without making any pur-
chase at all—holding back to the last extremity, sanguine in their
opinion that much lower prices must eventually be submitted to.
