LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 22

There is a very good demand for Sugar, and in consequence of
the proposed additional duty and unfavourable accounts received
of the probable deficiency of the. crop, holders have obtained a fur-
ther advance of Is to 2s per cwt. and the sales of B.P. amount to
750 hhds, 4200 bags of good to fine white Bengal have also been
taken, at 74s 3d to 75s per cwt No sales in Mauritius. 26 cases
and 80 brls Brazil .Sugar are reported, at 20s to 225 for brown, and
23s 6d for ordinary white, and 72 hhds Cayenne, at 205 6d to 22s per
cwt. Bonded Refined-30 hhds Crushed were taken at 34s 6d per
cwt.—The arrivals of Molasses has not transpired.—Coffee. The
demand for Plantation is very limited, the Trade being reluctant to
purchase, except at a considerable reduction in prices ; the sales
are to a moderate extent, and consist of 60 casks Jamaica, at a de-
cline, in most instances, of 2s to 3s per cwt. Of Foreign, a small
parcel of Laguayra was sold at 52s per cwt.—Nothing done in Co-
coa or Ginger; but 100 bags of Pimento sold at 2gd and 700 bags
of black Pepper at 30 to 3id per lb.—:-100 bags Bengal Rice sold at
14s, and a small lot of dressed Carolina at the quotations.—No sales
are reported in Rum. . . .

During the week the Tea market has been very heavy, and little
or no business done by private contract, and to etlect sales a de-
cline in price must be submitted to, say Id to 2d per lb on black,
and Id per lb on green. At the sale on Wednesday, consisting of
689 packages of good and tine Congon, 168 found buyers, at 2s 4d
to 2s 6d for cash on Saturday. The additional duty of 5 per cent.
chargeable on Teas from the lath instant, may partly account for
the reduction, but the general dulness of the market arises princi-
pally from the want of information respecting the progress of ship-
ments at Canton, and the uncertainty of the amount of supply
likely to be received during the year.

Se'veral public sales were attempted of Shell Lac, Safflower, and
other East India Produce on Wednesday last, but without success,
and the market remains dull.—A few chests of good consuming In-
digo sold at 6s to 6s 2d per lb. 16 serons of silver Cochineal at 4s 3d
to 4s 6d, 2000 bags of Saltpetre, chiefly at 95s for good, with small
parcels at 22s 6d to 26s per cwt.—Of Nitrate of Soda, 600 bags were
sold at 178 to 17s 6d per cwt.
The sales of Logwood are only 20 tons Campeachy, at .110 to
£lO 10s, and 100 tons Honduras and Jamaica, at .£7 to £7 Its ; 65
tons Cuba rustic sold at £6 to £lO ss, 170 tons Savanilla and Ma-
racaibo at .E 4 17s (id to £5 les ; 60 tons inferior Lima Nicaragua
Wood, the price of which has not transpired ; 20 tons Red Sanders
Wood at £8 2s Gd to £8 10s, and 25 tons Harwood at ..E6 lOs per
ton.—There are no sales of Turpentine to report this week, but
prices remain unaltered.—ln Tar also there have been no transac-
tions.—There has been a moderate demand for Pot Ashes, several
parcels of the brand of 1838 having been taken at 235, and at 24s 3d
for those of 1839 ; for a few 24s 6tl has been obtained. Pearl Ashes
go off slowly, at 3is to 315 6cl per cwt.—The only transaction in
Bees' Wax consists of a few cases of American at £8 per cwt. in
bond.—There is no alteration in the price of Linseed; 228 sacks and
420 pockets East India have been disposed of at 44s per quarter,
duty paid, from the quay.—Hides. Salted Monte Video Ox and
Cow continue dull, but East India Kips have again brought extreme
prices ; 5000 dry salted sold at auction on Tuesday at 121 d to 13d
for sound light, Ind to 11 ad for Ist rubbed, 111 d for sound heavy,
and 91c1 to 91d for Ist rubbed; 150 salted New York Hides sold in
the early part of the week at 40 per lb, hut this price cannot now
be obtained.—Tobacco. The market had been extremely flat, only
about Go hi; is having been sold at the quotations.
The demand for Brimstone has been confined to small parcelwfor
immediate consumption, without any material change in prices,
though in some instances at a shade lower.—No sales worthy of
notice have been reported in any description of Sumac.—Large
parcels of Argols, both red and white, have been offered by auction
this week, but no sales were effected, and scarcely any thing done
since by private treaty.—Cream of Tartar has become dull of sale,
owing to supplies arriving.—A few casks of flag Annatto have been
sold at Is per lb.—Valonia has been dull of sale: CO tons of good
Smyrna, offered at public sale, were disposed of at £l7, and 10 tons
Camata at £lO per ton.—The transactions in Madder Roots this
week are confined to 109 bales damaged Turkey, at 19s to 445, and
in Madder, 20 bags Spanish at 40s, and 100 barrels of better quali-
ties at 42$ to 52s Gd per cwt.—Only a moderate business has been
done in Olive Oil, the total sales being about 50 tuns, and with the
excepticn of 10 tuns fine Lisbon, sold at £'.53, prices have ruled ra-
ther lower this week.—ln Fish Oils the business is limited to a few
trifling sales of Cod at ,e 26 lOs to £27, and a sale of new Seal Oil,
to arrive, reported to have been made a little under the present
quotation.—Pale Rape Oil is still comparatively neglected, but Lin-
seed Oil is rather dearer, with sellers only to a limited extent.—More
inquiry has appeared for Oil of Turpentine, but no business of mo-
ment actually done, the Distillers showing no anxiety to sell at the
present rates.—About 100 tons Palm Oil have been sold in small
lots, chiefly at £35 10s, but part rather lower.—ln Flax and Hemp
there is little to report, except in Jute, the delnand for which has
been good, and 1620 bales sold at £ll lOs tti £l2, but nearly the
whole at the latter price.—Tallow has been in fair demand, at steady
prices ; Odessa selling in quantity at 495, and Petersburg yellow
Candle, in small parcels, at 4gs Gd to 49s 9d per cwt. On Saturday
last, about 270 pipes and a few serons South American Tallow were
offered by auction, the greetgr part of which sold at 45s to 46s 9d
for good colour and firm, and fine Grease at 43s 6d per cwt. being a
little decline upon previous sales.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MAi 22.
A fair extent of business has again been done, but the market
still continues in a very dull and uninteresting state, and although►
no alteration can be noted in the quotations for American, the buyer
has had some little advantage. East India is rather lower, and
Brazil, in which little is doing, has again declined 4(1 per lb. The
public sales, consisting of 1,236 Sea Island, 162 Stained Do., 100
Smyrna and 200 Madras, were but thinly attended, and for the
former rather lower rates were accepted, and only 90 sold, at id.
per lb decline. Spectators have taken 2,000 American, and Ex-
porters 2,500 American.

MONDAY EVENING

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 23.
The arrivals of Irish Oats and Oatmeal, since this day week. are
to a fair amount, but otherwise the supplies of British Graiu,
have been very light. From abroad we have received upwards of
24,770 qrs. of Wheat, 11,540 qrs. of Barley. 784 qrs. of Beans, 1,400
qrs. of Peas, and 29,900 bris. of Flour. Our town's dealers have
not been free poyors of Wheat, but in addition to their purchases,
some parcels have been taken for Irish and country account, and,
on the whole, a fair busineAs has been done, at the prices of last
week for the better qualities. and with little if any variation for
other descriptions.—Best brands of American Flour have sold ill
small parcels at 365. to 365. 6d. per brl., duty paid : there are buyers
in quantity at 255., in bond, but holders arc demanding not less
than 20s. per brl.—Oats and Oatmeal have both met little inquirj,
and any but choice qualities may be bought on rather lower terms :
fair runs of Irish at 3s. 10d. to as. 11d; flue inealing are worth
4s. Id. per 451bs ; Oatmeal 345. to 355. per 2401b5.—Some quantity
of released foreign Barley has gone into second hands at 4s. to
is. 6d. per 601bs. for fair and good parcels of grinding quality.—N°
change as regards Beans or Peas.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MAY 25.
We have experienced a short suppply of good Beef, which was
readily sold at almost a halfpenny per lb. over last quotation;
middling and inferior was in good demand, and higher prices were
obtained.—The supply of Mutton and Lamb was more numerous,
and sold readily, the prices of which were fully equal to our last
market. Prime Beef ;id ; middling 7d ; inferior 6d and tilt'. Best
Old Wethers in their wool sd ; Shorn Sheep 61 to 7d. Lamb ad to
9d. Number of Beasts-617 ; Sheep and Lambs-618.
