LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, FEE. 19

Sugar.--There is still a good demand, particularly for the better
descriptions of B. P., with which the market is very barely supplied,
and the sales are 450 hhds., at rather higher prices. Bengal con-
tinues to be offered very freely, and nearly 12,000 bags have been
taken, without much alteration in price. No Mauritius at market.
Nothing is reported in Foreign, Bonded Refined, or in Molasses.
Coffee.—The sales of Plantation are to a moderate extent, com-
prising* 120 casks of Jamaica, at steady prices. A small parcel of
Mocha was sold at the quotations, 15 casks, 70 bags of fine Java
at 65s to 665, 1350 bap damaged La Guayra at 36s 9d to 44s 3d,
and 240 bags damaged St. Domingo at 30s to 39s per cwt. Nothing
done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento. 100 bags black Pepper sold
at 31d to 4d per lb. Rice is scarce, and the sales are confined to a
small lot good Bengal at 15s 6d per cwt. Rum.—The business con-
sists of 200 casks, chiefly fine Demerara, at the quotations.

Tea.—There h'as been a fair inquiry for common and good
Congous, and prices remain without alteration.

A few chests Bengal Indigo were sold at 5s 6d, and 10 seron
of Caraccas at as per lb in bond. A small sale of Shell Lac is re
ported at 42s to 47s ; Tincal at 46s ; and Gum Arabic at 445. 60,

.
bags Pearl Sagy and 60 tuns Cutch 'have been sold, but the price is
not named. There is a better inquiry tor good Saltpetre, and ex.
tensive sales have been made, and an advance of 6d obtained ; the
quantity sold is 4200 bags. prineipally at 24s 6d to 28s. 500 bags
Nitrate of Soda have been taken at 21s 3d to 21s 6d per cwt.

Dyewoods.—There are no sales to notice this week in any des-
criptions. The demand for Turpentine is rather languid, and for
1100 brls. of middling quality 12s 6d has been accepted. In Tar
no sales. Montreal Pot Ashes are rather lower, and there are
sellers at 29s 6d. Pearls exceedingly dull. Hides.—The market
continues very dull, and the only sales reported are 600 dry salted
Pernambuco at Odd, with 289 dry at 54d, and 3000 good dry salted
East India Kips, at loid for sound, 7-Eid for Ist rubbed, and Gd per
lb for 2nd rubbed. Tobacco has been in good demand, and the
sales reach 400 hits., of which about 80 were leaf for Ireland. 40
for exportation, and nearly 150 of different kinds on speculation.
All kinds are very firm, and in some cases a little higher.
The business done in Brimstone has again been on a limited
scale, without change in prices. Nothing worthy of Notice has
been clone in Sumac, Argols or Cream of Tartar. Of Persian
Berries, 40 bales have been sold at previous prices. Madders and
Roots continue in moderate demand. No sales in quercitron Bark.
For Olive Oil there has been rather more inquiry than for some
weeks past, and stocks being very small, extreme prices continue to
be maintained for the small sales which have been effected. A dull
market still prevails for all kinds of Fish Oils ; the business is con-
fined to small transactions, chiefly amongst the Dealers, and prices
are rather lower. Pale Rape Oil has been less sought after, but the
price- is steady. Linseed Oil has attraeted some attention for
forward delivery, but there are very few sellers, and, on the spot,
last week's prices would hardly now be accepted. Oil of Tupentine
has been sold, in some instances, a shade under the annexed quota-
tion; but a fair extent of business has been done at 555, the de-
mand having improved. Palm Oil has again receded a little : but
the reduction has brought an improved demand. and nearly 300
tons have been sold this week, at 31. 108 10 .e 33 per ton ' • 100 tons
were also sold for future delivery, at a lower rate, but by a
speculator, in anticipator: of lower prices, and the sale cannot be
taken as an accurate criterion of the state of the market. In Hemp
and Flax the sales have been unimportant ; prices without altera-
tion. Tallow continues dull of sale, and limited transactions only
take place in in yellow Candle, at about 48s ; 100 pipes South
American have been sold at 38s to 43s and 3d, being a decline of
Is 6d per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 19.
The market opened with an improved demand, which was con-
siderably increased by the arrival, on Monday morning, of the
steamer from the United states, and estimates of the crop being
further reduced. Towards the middle of the week business became
very animated, and an advance of id to id per lb was readily paid
for the common to fair qualities of American ; in other descriptions
there was little or no change, with the exception of Surat, which
was rather dearer. Duririg the last two days the demand has been
less extensive, but the advance is maintained. Speculators have
taken 17,300 American hnd 700 Surat, and Exporters 4.50 American

COTTON MARKET.-SATURDAY

A very general and good demand to-day to the extent of 6000
bales, 1200 of them on speculation. Prices firm and the market
closes steadily.

MONDAY EVENING

A good attendance of buyers this morning, but not purchasing
to such an extent as of late, consbquently the market has not quite
so buoyant an appearance, though as regards prices the full ad-
vance of last week has been maintained. 5000 bales have been
sold, including a few hundred to a speculator.
