LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, Nov. 20

Sugar.—The demand still continues altogether confined to goo
and tine descriptions, and the sales of B. P. scarcely reach 20 lihds.
without any material alteration in prices ; but low brown qualities
are quite neglected, and it would he difficult to effect sales to any
extent, even at reduced rates. For fine white Bengal there is a
a very good inquiry, and the sales amount to 5500 bags, chiefly
from 86s 6d to 87s 6d per cwt.; 7000 bags of low damp brown were
offered by auction on Thursday, but were withdrawn, there being
no bidders at all approaching the valuations. No sales in Mauritius.
Foreign.—Only 30 cases and 50 brls. of Brasil are reported, at 213
to 25s per cwt. Ip Bonded Refined nothing has been done.
Molasses.-30 puns. very ordinary Granada, in store, at a reduced
price, is the only sale reported. Coffee.—Of plantation there arc
no sales reported. 200 bags Java (gd duty) were sold at the quota-
tion. Of Foreign, 200 bags St. Domingo brought 435. Nothing
done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento, but 200 bags black Pepper sold
at 4id to 44d per lb. 200 bags fine white Bengal Rice have been
sold at 16s per cwt. In bond, and 1000 pockets from the ship-side at
13s 3d per cwt. Rum.—The market is quiet, 100 puns. being the
only sale ; fine Jamaica at Bs 10d per gallon, and Demerara, chiefly
low strength, at the quotations,

Tea.—The sales have been limited, in consequence of holders
asking higher prices, which the Trade would not submit to; our
quotations, therefore, remain unaltered.

The public sales of Indigo commenced yesterday, and concluded
thig day; of the 750 chests Bengal and Oude offered about 310
found buyers, at prices ranging principally from 3s gd to to 6s 7d,
although in . a few instances the extremes of 2s and 7s were
established. The ordinary and middling consuming qualities sold
moderately; the middling and good shipping qualities realized
comparatively better prices, but still not upon a par with the Lon-
don currency. 266 chests Bombay Fig were put up; but as there
appeared no buyers, excepting at very low rates, the whole was
bought in. 12 serous Caraccas brought Is to 5s 10d per lb for
middling to good sobres. Sales of 112 chests Shell Lac having been
made at 45s to 50s, 40 chests Lac Dye at Is to Is 3d, 24 bales Bengal
Safflower at to £7 11s 6d for good and fine, and .e 2 12$ 6d to
15s for ordinary quality; 460 bags Bengal Turmeric sold at
22s to 255, 45 serons Cochineal at 45 gd to 5s 2d for black, and 4s
to 4s 3tl for silver grains, and 70 boxes Tincal at 48s. Nitrate of
Soda is selling at the extreme quotations, and several hundred bags
taken. Saltpetre continues dull of sale ; 600 bags are reported at
27s 3d to 23s 6d per cwt.

The sales of Dyewoods have been more extensive than for the
last few weeks ; 300 tons Campeachy Logwood arc reported at
lOs to £9 17s 6d; 400 tons Savanilla Fustic at £4 15s to
.4'5 ss; 320 tons Lima Nicaragua Wood at £l2 is to .el 2 15s for
sound, and 60 tons, all faults, at £ll 15s to £l2 as 6d; and 120
tons Angola Barwood, the price of which has not transpired.
Several parcels of Turpentine have been brought forward by
auction, but 1500 brls. only have been sold, for which Its 2d to
12s 4d was obtained.- American Tar still supports a higher price,
16s 9d to 17ss having been given for 500 brls. Montreal Pot Ashes
arc rather higher, but the business of the week has been limited,
arising, however, from a scarcity of new Ashes rather than from a
want of demand. Pearl Ashes have been sought for, and purchases
to the extent of 200 to 200 Ur's.. have been made at 29s to 295 6d
per cwt. There has been rather more business doing in Elides, but
generally at lower rates, especially for the East India Kips ; about
2300 salted Monte Video have been sold, at 5d sird forplain Ox, and
Sid for Cows, 1000 dry Rio Grande, at Sid for sound, and Sd for
Ist wormed, 1500 salted at 4id, 1000 dry salted Ceara at 6id, and
12,000 East India Kips, at I* for sound dry salted, lid for Ist
rubbed brine, Old to 74d for 2d rubbed brine and dry salted, and 6d
to aid per lb for 2d rubbed. Tobacco.—The sales have again been
large, and amount this week to about 690 hhds., of which 100 were
for Ireland, 70 for export, and the remainder to the Trade ;
Kentucky stemmed are fully id per lb higher, other kinds without
alteration.

The reduced prices for Brimstone noticed last week have brought
forward buyers more freely than for some time past; the sales
since, have been about 300 tons, at to £lO per ton, according
to quality. About 1700 bags Sicily Sumac, principally of old im-
portations, have been disposed of at lOs to 11s, with small parcels
of new at 12s 6d. and 150 bags Oporto at 7s 6d per cwt. Of
Argols about 30 casks Oporto red were sold at 303 to 333 per cwt.
A few casks of brown Tartar have been sold at 51s, and of dis-
coloured at dOs to 70s. Cream of Tartar remains dull of sale, A
cargo of 100 tons Valonia has been sold at £l6 per ton. The ex-
tensive damage done to Madders and Roots by the overflowing of
the Rhone, it is expected will considerably affect the supply from
France, and holders appear unwilling to sell at present rates ; 3s
to 4s advance is required. Nothing worthy of notice has been
done this week in Olive Oil, although there has been more inquiry.
About 20 tuns Cod Oil at .£27 ss, and a few tuns pale Seal at
former prices, are the only sales this week in Fish Oils. In Rape
Oil there is no alteration, but Linseed is again a shade lower. A
little reduction having been submitted to for Oil of Turpentine,
buyers have come forward rather more freely, and a fair business
has been done. In Palm Oil the transactions have been very
limited, ahout 20 tons only having been sold during the week,
chiefly at .4'35 to .€35 5s per ton, and 100 tons for delivery early
next year, at about the present quotation. No sales of importance
have transpired in Hemp or Flax ; 120 bales of Jute brought "15 lOs
per ton, which is rather lower. For Tallow a little more inquiry
has apeeared, but the transactions are confined to small lots, at
from 50s to 51s per cwt. for yellow Candle, and sos for Ordessa,

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 20.

The demand from the Trade continues on a limited scale, and the
market has consequently throughout the week been in a very dull
and inactive state. Although a positive decline cannot be noticed
in the middling to fair qualities of American, the ordinary and
better classes have been freely offered, and are a shade lower ;
the same applies to common Surat, whilst the better kinds of
Egyptian are rather higher. 500 bales of American taken on
speculation.

Without being able to notice a decided advance in the price of
Butter, we may remark that there is a better feeling amongst the
trade, and some inclination has been evinced by speculators to
purchase. Pickled Butter is dull at 91s to 925. Beef and Pork
excessively flat, the exertion to bolster up prices, by a few unfortu-
nate speculators, being entirely fruitless. Good Beef l los to Ilas
per tierce. Prime Pork 7os per barrel. Bacon has again experi.
enced a reduction in price—the primest article is now worth only
50s per cwt.
