eluding a few for Ireland, with a parcel of very low and about 200
bales of Cuba for export ; prices are without a change, and the
market firm.

There appears to be a limited demand for Brimstone, the con-
sumption of which, owing to the increasing us of Pyrites, has
been much lessened ; the stocks here out of the hands of the Coin-
Patty are nearly exhausted; the sales of the week are are about 80
tons.—Sicily Sumac goes off steady, without change in prices ;

Bark comprise 180 hhds.. at 12s for Baltimore, ad 13 per cwt. for
Philadelphia. Olive Oil continues in fair request, with some
tendency to higher prices ; the sales of the week have reached do
tuns, and most of the holders are now demanding an advance upon
the previous currency. A considerable improvement has taken
place in Seal Oil, a cargo of about 90 tuns having sold from the
ship-side at £2B per tun for pale, and numerous inquiries have
appeared for smaller parcels, but having been met by a demand of
£3O, 110 other transactions are reported; in other kinds of Fish
Oils a corresponding advance is generally required, but nothing of
moment appears to have been done, the stock being chiefly in the
hands of the dealers. Seed Oils have also improved, Linseed
having been sold during the last few days at 29s to 30S per cwt.
For palec Rape, 40s is required, and indeed at these advanced rates
there are few sellers. Oil of Turpentine has further declined 205 to
30s per ton, with a very limited demand. Pahu-Oil.—Early in the
week sales were made at £36 7s 6d to £36 los, but subsequently,
advices having been received of the total loss of a cargo or about
500 tons, which was daily expected to arrive at this port, more
demand appeared, and about 400 tons have been sold at £37 to
37 10, pert for arrival. Hemp has experienced a further advance,
sales of Petersburg clean having effected at £'3B Its to £39, and
holders now demand £4O per ton ; about 300 bales Jute have
been disposed of at £l2, 145 bales Sunn at £l6, and 58 bales
ordinary Bombay at £l5 10s per ton. In Flax no sales reported.

continued steady at 535 6d for Petersburg yellow candle, at which
about 200 casks have been taken at a small lot to arrive at 52s
per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. AUGUST 7

The continuance of favourable weather has dispelled all fears for

the fate of the harvest, and bus imparted greater confidence to the
market though unattended for the present with any improvement
in prices deservingof notice. The demand has been regular and
extensive throughout the week from the Trade, as well as from
Speculators and for export, and the qualities in American below
have realized the extreme rates of last week. No change has
taken place in Brazil, or in other descriptions; the quotations,
therefore, remain without any alteration. The public sale of Sea
Island to-day was but thinly attended, and of 700 bags offered, 540
bags were disposed of, at prices on a par with those of the public
sale of the 31st ult. Speculators have taken 11,500 bales of
American and exporters 1000 bales American, 50 Persian and 200
Surat.
