LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 8.
A very good demand for all descriptions of Sugar is still expe-
rienced, and 1500 hhdS B.P. have been sold, at a further advance of
Is to 2s per cwt. No sales of Mauritius; but 4500 bags Bengal
have been taken at very full prices, low damp brown 55s to 61s 6d,
and good to fine white 71s to 73s per cwt. The sales in Foreign
Sugar have been extensive, and consist of 115 cases, 665 brls and
1450 bags Brazil, chiefly Pernambuco ; low strong brown at 21s,
good at 22s to ass 6d, and low to fine white at 235 3d to 275. 900
bags Manilla were taken for export at the quotations. No sales in
bonded Refined.—Molasses. The market is very barely supplied.
and there are no sales to report this week.—The sales of Plantation
have been very limited, consisting of 40 brls of Jamaica and 100
brls and bags .11erbice ; the latter chiefly at 101 s to 104 s for middling
qualities; no change of moment in prices; 50 frazils of Mocha
were also sold, at 108 s to 1108 for middling. Nothing done in
Foreign.—A small lot of Pimento sold at 24d, and 730 bags black
Pepper at aid to 4icl per lb.—No sales of Cocoa or Ginger.-3400
bags Bengal Rice have been sold at 13s 3d to 13s 6d for middling
quality.—Rum continues to be inquired for, and nearly 350 pulls.
have been sold, chiefly good and fine Demerara, at as 101 to 6s 4d,
and common Leewards at 3s 7d per gallon, with a parcel of hhds.,
10 per cent. 0.P., of fine quality, at as per gallon.
In the early part of the week the Tea market was flat, and very
little business done; on Wednesday last, it being stated in the Lon.
don papers, that news had been received from China, to the effect
that the dispute still remained unsettled, a much better feeling has
taken place, and a fair business done on speculation at our quota-
tions. The letters per overland mail are expected to-morrow. The
market closes firm, with more-buyers than sellers.
Nothing to report in Indigo.—Numerous public sales have been
brought forward, but attended with little success ; subsequently
some sales were effected, the transactions by auction and private
treaty comprise 111 chests East India Gum Arabic at 358 to 525;
76 chests Shell Lac at 415 to Os ; 450 pockets Bengal Turmeric at
305; 10 bales Bengal Safflower at 50s; 14 serons Cochineal, at 5s lid
to as 11 d for Vera Cruz black, and 4s 10d per lb for Honduras silvers ;
a smal lot of China Mother-of-Pearl Shells at 60s ; and a few chests
Cowries at 455.—Nearly 500 bags Nitrate of Soda sold at 17s fid to
18s 6d.—Very little done in Saltpetre.

There has been a fair demand for Logwood ; the sales are 130
tons Campeachy, at ./.'y 5s for indirect, and .4'lo for direct imports ;
430 tons St. Domingo and Honduras at £7 lOs to £8 2s 6d; 30 tons
Tampico Fustic at .e 6 17s fid. 30 tons of Savanilla and Carthagena
at £5 5s to .e 5 lOs and a few tons Jamaica at £6 lOs ; 40 tons Lima
Nicaragua Wood at el 4 to £l5 per ton.—There has been a general
and extensive demand for Turpentine, and the purchases amount to
4000 to 5000 brls. at 12s 6d to 13s gd per cwt, all to the Trade ; the
latter price was given for a small parcel only of choice quality.—
No sales reported in Tar.—Montreal Pot Ashes coutinue to go off
regularly, though in lirOited quantities, at 24s 3d to 24s 6d, and Pearl
Ashes at 31s 6d per cwt.—Hides. Salted Monte Video Ox are a
shade lower, but Horse Hides have sold briskly, at high prices ; the
sales are 1500 of the former at sd, 400 dry Horse at Ils 7d, 1840
salted at 12s 3d to 13s, 370 salted Demerara at 4id to 50, and 100
dry salted Lima at 6d per lb.—Tobacco. The market continues
without alteration, and the sales are confined to 120 hhds, of which
about 50 were for the Irish.market.

In consequence of a large purchase of Brimstone at the close of
last week, by one of the principal consumers, prices have since ad-
vanced 5s to 1 os per ton, and the disposable stock out of the hands
of the Company is now reduced to a very Small compass ; the sales
of the week have amounted to about 300 tons.—Small sales only
are reported in Sumac, Argols, and brown Tartar.—Cream of Tar-
tar is very scarce ; a single cask of fine quality brought the high
price of 100 s, but there have been sellers at 90s, at which some of
fair quality has been disposed of.—A few casks of flag Annatto are
reported at is per lb, and 100 sacks Turkey blue Galls have been
sold by auction at 71s to 73s 6d per cwt.—There has been some
business done in Madders ; 20 casks Dutch are reported at the
quotations, and 112 bags Spanish Madder (damaged) sold at 34s to
35S 9d.-:-No sales in Quercitron Bark.—Some of the holders of
Spanish Olive Oil, having been anxious to sell, have accepted re-
duced prices, in consequence of which more business was done,
about 70 tuns of all descriptions having been 'taken, chiefly at $5O
for Seville.—For Cod Oil the demand has improved, and 140 tuns
have been sold. (part understood to be for export,) chiefly at -t26,
but in one instance .t'26 lOs is reported to have been paid; pale
Seal, although oftered at a reduction of lOs to 20s per tun, has been
neglected, and a small lot of South Sea Whale Oil, offered by auc-
tion, was withdrawn for want of bidders.—A moderate demand
continues for Linseed Oil, at about 245; for pale Rape there is
hardly any inquiry.—h Oil of Turpentine there is little doing, and
no change in price toliotice.—Palm Oil. The sale of 200 tons at
£35 lOs referred to in our last report, is understood to have been an
error, no such sale having taken place in addition to the other sales
then stated : this w'iek 130 tons have sold, but the prices are not
reported.—ln Hemp and Flax there are no sales to communicate.—
For Tallow a moderate demand has been experienced, at a reduction
of 6d to Is per cwt. upon most descriptions, but the quantity of Ist
sort yellow candle in the market is limited, and the price, in conse-
quence, pretty steady at the annexed quotations.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 8.
There has been a speculative demand throughout the week, and
as Spinners also purchased very freely, the business is considerable ;
prices, however, can hardly be quoted higher, for, although a slight
advance was in some instances obtained on American, the market
continues to be so well supplied, that last week's prices cannot be
altered. Egyptian is without change, but Brazil and East India
may be purchased on more favourable terms. Speculators have
taken 8500 American, and Exporters 1100 American and 100 Surat.
