LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 15.

There has only been a moderate demand for Sugar, but as holders
are asking very extreme rates, and the market is at present very
barely supplied, prices remain without alteration, and the sales are
confined to 200 hhds 8.P., and 600 bags of very fine white Bengal,
at 72s per cwt.—Foreign Sugar. 75 cases, 220 brls and 300 bags
Brazil have been sold, chiefly brown, to the Refiners, who have also

During the week the Tea market has been quiet, and very little
business done ; the market closes heavy at our quotations.
There was a fair attendance of buyers at the public sales of In-
digo, hut they progressed without spirit; of 180 chests ast India
fh
and 420 serons Caraccas brought forward, only 70 of e former
sold; the good descriptions of Bengal went at fair prices, ranging
from as 9d to 7s, but the ordinary, Oude and Bombay Fig sold irre.
gularly, and lower; the whole of the latter was disposed of, at
prices upon a par with those current in London, but a material
decline upon the last sales held here; the following were the rates
—Sobres, middling and good, 4s 6d to 5s lid, Cortes, good and
fine, 3s 9cl to 45 3d, ordinary and middling 3s to 3s 6d, trash and

been sold at 12s 3d to 12s 6d per cwt—ln Tar no sales are reported.
—Montreal Pot Ashes are taken in moderate quantities by the
Trade, at previous prices ; but as the stock is now confined to few
holders, it is difficalt to purchase extensively at the quotations.
Small parcels of Pearl Ashes have been sold at 31s 6d.—There has
been more business doing in salted Monte Video Hides, but a fur-
ther decline of t per lb, and the sales reported are 12,000. at 4id to

sales this week are 180 hhds., 30 of which were for Ireland; Vir-
ginia stemmed, of last year's import, is quite neglected by the
Tram); for all other kinds tile market is steady.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 16.

Our imports of British Grain, Flour and Oatmeal, since this day
se'nnight, have been very small ; but front abroad the receipts have
been large, comprising :18,000 quarters of Wheat, 1.300 quarters of
Oats, 11,550 quarters of Barley, 1,326 quarters of Peas, 1,165 qrs.
of Rye, and 12,580 barrels of Flour. As regards those of W heat
and Flour, however, the whole, or nearly so, have, for the present,
been placed under bond, duties having been paid (since Friday,
when the rotes of import advanced to its 8d per quarter and lOs
per barrel) upon only f, 80 quarters of Wheat and 770 barrels of
Flour. Of other articles there have been released, during the
week, 10,110 quarters of Barley, 232 quarters of Beans, and 35
quarters of Peas. With continued tine rains and favourable ac.
counts from the country generally as to the growing crops, we
have had little animation in the corn trade, and the bias of most of
the leading articles has been slightly towards decline : for none
except free Foreign Flour, however, do we materially vary our
last quotations ; this article must be quoted 6d to Is cheaper, 36s fid
being a top price for American. Oats, upon a very limited supply,
have been held with firmness, but few have been sold; the same
remark may he applied also to Oatmeal. Two or three parcels of
Barley, for grinding, have found buyers at about late rates, and
most of the Indian Corn has gone into second hands (some for
Irish account) at 39s to 40s per 4801bs. Beaus are scarce and rather
dearer. Peas as last noted.
