Sugar.—There continues a very good demand, and rather higher
prices have again been obtained for B. P., of which the sales
amount to 630 hhds., and the stock is now reduced to a very small
compass. The sales of Bengal are very extensive, amounting in
the whole to upward of 10,000 bags ; but holders have submitted
to lower prices, particularly for good to fine white, of which the
business principally consists. 8400 bags Mauritius have also been
taken, at an average of nearly Sos pci• cwt. Foreign.-250 bags
good dry white Pernambuco (new) have been sold at 26s per cwt.
No.transactions in Bonded Refined. The sales in Molasses are 350
puns. good Demeraras at 32s 6d to '33s from the quay. Coffee.—
The transactions in ..Piantation have been confined to a few trivial
lots of Jamaica at the quotations. No sales of Foreign, or in
Cocoa, Ginger, Pepper or Pimento. Rice is in fair demand, and
1200 Bags Bengal sold at 145 6d to 14s gd per cwt. in bond. The
business in Eum comprises 220 casks, chiefly good and flue
Demeraras, with a few Antiguas of low strength, at the quotations.
Tea.—The overland mail, which arrived here on the 6th inst.,
caused a firmer feeling in the market, and during the week there
has been a good inquiry, with very few sellers.
The demand for East India Drysaltery articles has been extremely
dull, and principally confined to about 130 chests of Shell Lac, at
44S 6d to 455 6d for dark garnet and blocky liver, and 72s for fine
orange, 40 bags of Bombay Safflower at £3lB 6d, and a few boxes
of Tincal at the quotations. 350 bags of Saltpetre brought 27s to
275 6d. 1000 bags of Nitrate of Soda 21s 3d to 21s 6cl per cwt.
with 150 tons to arrive, the price of which has not transpired.
Dyewoode.—The sales of Logwood are 150 tons Campeachy at
.eg 15s to £lO, and 200 tons Honduras and Jamaica at .413 15s to
.e 7 per ton; in other descriptions the sales arc unimportant. The
business in Turpentine this week is confined to one parcel of 870
brls., of fair Wilmington, for which 13s was given. No sales
reported in Tar. Montreal Pot Ashes are dull, and rather lower.
20s gd having been accepted for a small parcel; but the largest
holders still require 30s, Pearl Ashes go off very slowly, at previous
prices. Hides of all descriptions are dull of sale, and the only
transactions of moment are 2200 salted Monte Video at 44(1 to' 48d
for Ox, and 44c1 to 4id per lb for Cow. Tobacco.—The business of
the week is confined to 130 hhds., 20 of which were for Ireland,
full rates are demanded for all descriptions.
The sales in Brimstone still continue on a very limited scale,
consumers purchasing only to supply their immediate wants; this
week not more than 30 tons have been disposed of, at 15s to
.t'lo per ton. Sumac remains almost neglected. There has been
rather more inquiry for Cream of Tartar : 12 casks have been sold
at 78s ad to 70s, and 10 casks Bologna white Argots at 475, and a
few casks Oporto red at 32s per cwt. Small sales have been made
in Persian and Turkey Berries at the quotations, Madders and
Roots are in moderate request, at previous rates.—Small sales have
been made in Persian and Turkey Berries at the quotations.— Mad-
ders and Roots are in moderate request, at previous rates.—The
business in Olive Oil is confined to a few casks Galipoli, at ..e6g per
tun.—ln Fish Oils, no business of the least importance has taken
place ; holders are disposed to accept rather lower rates.—Seed
Oils are in limited request; but pale Rape maintains the late ad-
vance.—Oil of Turpentine continues pretty steady in price, but not
in much demand.—Palm Oil. The stock being heavy, and the Soap
trade upon the whole well supplied, the market is in a very languid
state ; the sales during the week have been about 100 tons, nearly
all at .4'33, although some retail lots brought £33 les to £34 ; no
transactions have taken place for arrival.—ln Baltic Hemp and
Flat no sales are reported„but prices are steady about 200 bales
Sunn Hemp sold at .4'lB 10s, 200 bales Jute at ..el4, and 40 bales
ilombayat £2l per ton.—TalloW. The very limited demand no-
ticed for some time past still continues, and although in the early
part of the week some little advance was required, no actual im-
provement could be realised, and sales of Petersburg yellow Candle
are again reported at 47s 6d to 48s; about 100 pipes of South Ame- I
rican brought 41s to 44s per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 12

The demand this week has been very limited, the business being
confined to the immediate wants of the Trade, and the markat
was heavy throughout. In prices, however, little change has oc-
curred ; middle qualities of American remain without alteration
from last week's quotations, whilst the ordinary andbetter descrip-
tions have declined id per lb; Surat is also id lower, and Brazil
barely supports previous rates. There were offered by auction
to-day 2210 baies of Sugat, 930 of which found buyers at full
previous rates for the good descriptions, but for the lower desrip.
tions a further decline of id per lb was submitted to.

• COTTON MARKET.—SATURDAY.
The arrival of three Packet Ships, bringing advices to 31st ult.
confirming the accounts of short crop, caused a better demand,
and the little excitement enabled holders to sell lots which hat;
been refused all week; the total sales were 5000 bales-1200 of
them to speculators.

MONDAY EVSNINO.•
Early this morning the Boston and Halifax mail-steamer arrived,
bringing advices to the 3rd instant. The short crop accounts are
more than confirmed ; the receipt of our higher prices in America
caused a further advance, and though previous to the departure of
the steamer, it had somewhat abated, yet their market is fully id
?lb higher than ours. These statements caused some excitement
here, and a very good demand to the extent of 12,000 bales. We
may remark that more than 10,000 have been bought by the trade,
and this is more satisfactory, and fully one id advance on Friday's
prices has been readily paid to-day.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 15

There is a steady but not extensive demand for Butter. Fine
Belfast, Kilkenny, &c. rating at 105 s to 10; s. Picicicd Butter is in
lair request for the Brazils, and respectable brands are worth 105 s
to io6s. Heavy well fed Beef appears likely to maintain its present
high prices, viz. 130 s per tierce, and it is in good demand. Other
kinds not mentioned. and rule at all prices from gas to I tas per
tierce. For the best Pork, 73s per barrel is a fair quotation, and
not much doing in the article. At 50s for heavy Bacon there is a
tolerable business transacted.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 15

good demand, at prices a little below our last quotations. Prime
Beef, 6d to 7d, middling and inferior, sid to 6d, prime Wethers,
