LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MARCH 26,

spgar.—There has been a steady demand during the week, bqt
as holders of B. P. are very firm, the sales are only 200 bhds. For
Bengal there is a very good inquiry, and being proportionately
cheaper, the Grocers have taken 7500 bags, chiefly at 73s to 75s for
good to fine white. Foreign.—The sales are confined to about 300
brls. and bags brown Brazil, at 18s 6d to 228 for low to good brown,
and good and fine La Guayra at 26s 6d to 28s. Bonded Refined.—
A fair demand continues for these descriptions. The only sale to
notice in Molasses is 30 puns. Demerara, from the quay, at 2gs per
cwt. Coffee.—There is only a moderate demand for Plantation,
and the sales reported are quite unimportant ; no change in prices.
In Foreign nothing done. 200 bags black Pepper sold at 3d to 4id
per lb. Nothing done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento• Rice.—:4oo
bags Bengal have been taken at 13s tid to 14s gd per cwt. Rum.—
No sales have taken place in either Plantation or Foreign.
Tea.—Tbroughout the week the •market has been quiet; but
prices remain firm at our quotations.
The demand for Indigo continues very limited. Of Shell Lac, 40
chests of blocky orange sold by auction at 43s gd to 468, 30 chests
of ordinary Lac Dye at 6d, and about 25 tons of Culch at 15s to
15s 60 per cwt. 800 bags of Saltpetre have been disposed of at 24s
to 25s for damaged, and 27s 6d to 30s, with some extra fine, in small

Nicaragua Wood at 8 ; 70' tons Gaboon Barwood at £7 to
2s 6d ; and 10 tons Camwood at to £25 per ton. No sales
of Turpentine have been effected, 1500 brls. which were offered by
auction having been sent into store, in consequence of the price
offered being beiow the expectation of holders. A parcel of
StockhOlm Tar, consisting of 860 brls., has been sold, but the price
has not transpired. Montreal Pot Ashes are difficult of sale at
present quotations ; but there has been rather more inquiry for the
old imports. Pearl Ashes are neglected. The sales of American
sowing Flaxseed during the present season have been mostly at
63s per hhd. A parcel of East India Linseed at auction brought
52s per quarter. Hides.—The market is steady, without alteration
in prices. The public sales of last Friday comprise 860 dry salted

dry Valpaeaiso at 52d to 64d, 1000 East India Kips, rubbed at 3jd
to 4id, 300 Buffalo at 4id per lb ; and 780 salted Monte Video Horse
at I is each ; a few salted Ox and Cow have also been taken by
private at 4d to 44(1 per lb. Tobacco.—The business of the week
amounts to 180 hhds., of which about half were to the home.trade,
the remainder being taken by Speculators and It ish Manufacturers.
Prices remain firm, and the market quiet.
The demand for Brimstone remains dull, and for the few sales
made lower prices have been accepted it is now stated that the
large stocks this.market are likely to be brought forward at reduced
rates.—Of Sumac the sales have been limited; 200 bags Verona
brought 6s 3d, and 100 bags of Tyrolese gs Gd per cwt.—Only a few
small sales are reported in Argols.—Cream of Tartar is steady and
prices supported.—Madders and Roots are dull, and no sales re-
ported.-20 hhds Ist Philadelphia Bark reported at 13s per cwt.—
The business done in Olive Oil has again been limited; no change
in prices can be noticed.—ln Fish Oils there are no transactions
whatever to report —Pale Rape is steady at 50s for prime quality.—
Linseed Oil is in fair demand at 3i s ; early in the week some trans-
actions took place at 30s, but the price has since recovered, and
there are no very anxious sellers.—The sales of Palm Oil amount
to 140 tons, at -t'34 to 4'34 5s per ton, which is rather lower.—Oil
of Turpentine is dull of sale, and hardly maintains the advance
noticed last week.—ln Hemp and Flax there is still little doing; 50
bales Sunn Hemp brought £l9 per ton.—The improved accounts of
Tallow this week, from London, have not been followed by any real
advance in this market; although some holders have required
rather higher rates, the business in yellow Candle has been confined
to small sales at 46s 6d to 475 per cwt. In South American Tallow
no transactions have taken place, but about 400 casks are advertised
for public sale to-morrow.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 26.
We have had a fair demand for Cotton to day, and full
3000 bales have been sold at prices a little higher than was
paid early in the week, and much on a par with our quota-
tions of Friday last. The sales of the week are 15,650 bales,
of which we place to speculation account 3380 American do.
and 180 for export. The market closes steadily.

COTTON MARKET, MARCH

The demand for Cotton has been limited thrOughout the week,
but, as holders have been firm, scarcely any alteration in price has
occurred. The accounts received by the Patrick Henry, which
arrived on the 24th instant from New York, being deemed generally
more pacific, have given rise to the hope that the forthcoming sea-
son will be more favourable to the manufacturing districts than was
anticipated, and prices are. in consequence more steady, except
Brazil and East India, which are a shade lower. Speculators have
taken 3,380 American, and exporters 140 American.
