The market remains extremely dull, but as holders are not
generally disposed to give way, there is no change in prices. The
sales of B. P. 'are only 100 hhds. 2500 bags Mauritius have been
taken at 71s. to 75s for very low damp brown. and 828 to 85s for
good fine yellow. .No sales in Bengal. Foreign Sugar.—The sales
amount to 240 cases and 200 brls. Pernambuco, chiefly brown, at
2ls 6d to 225. per cwt. from the quay. Bonded Refined.—No sales
reported. The Molasses comprises 230 puns. of Demerara and
Antigua; the former at 41s 6s, and the latter at 45s per cwt,
Coffee.—The sales of Plantation comprise 150 casks of Jamaica ;
in the early part of the week, sales were effected at an advance of
3s per cwt., the buyers being under the impression that the duty on
B. P. would be reduced Id per lb, Cape to remain at gd, and Foreign
imported direct, I Oicl per lb ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer
having, however, determined to make no alteration in the duties
during the present session, there is consequently less disposition to
purchase, and the former quotations are continued. 530 bags Rio.
via Cape, were sold at 52s per cwt. Nothing of moment done in
Foreign. 200 bags Trinidad Cocoa hare been sold at 508 to 51s,
and 600 bags Guayaquil at a price not named. 150 brls. Jamaica
Ginger have been sold, at £8 to £9 25 6d per cwt. for middling
bold scraped quality, and £ll to £l2 for very good, duty paid, and
100 bags Barbadoes and 200 bags Malabar at the quotations. 800
bags black Pepper sold at 3iel to 31d per lb. No sales of Pimento.
1000 Bengal Rice have been sold at 14s 3d for middling white, and
2900 bangs Java at Ils to lls 6d per cwt. There has been a fair
inquiry for Rum, and about 200 puns. have been sold at 3s 10d for
common Leewards, 5 per cent. 0. P., 5s 3d to 6s Id for middling
and fine Demerara, 25 to 33 per cent. 0. P., and 6s 8d per gallon
for fine Jamaica. 120 puns. of Foreign, chiefly Havanna, have
also been sold, at is 8d for 14 per cent. 0. P., and 4s VI per gallon
for 28 per cent. 0. P.
Tea.—ln the early part of the week there was a good inquiry,
and a fair business done in common to good and fine Congous, at
our quotations; the market closes quiet, but very firm.
About a dozen chests Bengal Indigo have been sold at similar
rates to those now current in Lodon. 21 packages of silver
Cochineal are reported at 4s 2d to ss, 46 chests Lac Dye at at 7d to
Sid per lb, 160 chest Shell Lac at 70s to 75s per cwt., and 84 bales
East India Senna at 3d per lb. There is a better demand for
Saltpetre, which is held snore firmly, and 1600 bags sold at 26s to
275. Nitrate of Soda is retailing at 19s per cwt.
The sales of Dyewood are 80 tons Campeachy Logwood at £9 15s,
20 tons St. Domingo at 15s, 60 tons Jamaica at £7 ss, and 20
tons Honduras at .t'7 is; 30 tons Spanish Fustic at to 15s,
30 tons Jamaica at £6 is to £6 12s 6d, and 20 tons Cuba at £9 ;
20 tons Lima Nicaragua Wood at £l4 to £l4 10s, and a few tons
Camwood at £24 105 per ton. There is a reduction in the price of
Turpentine, 11s per Cwt. having been accepted for 2000 brls. of fair
quality. American Tar has again advanced, and holders have ob-
tained 17s 6d to 175 lld for 500 brls. Tha holders of the new
imports of Montreal Pot Ashes continue to accept 25s per cwt.,
whilst for the brand of 1839, 24s gd has been given. The sale of
Pearl Ashes are very limited, at 31s to 318 6d per cwt. Hides.—
The market is steady, and some considerable sales of Monte Video
have been made aid to 4d; a small lot of dry salted Pernambuco
brought, at auction, 6id per lb. Tobacco has been in steady de-
mand, at former prices ; the sales this month amount to 950 hhds. ;
viz. 125 Virginia leaf and 440 stemmed, 105 Kentucky leaf and 270
stemmed, and a few Maryland; of these, 160 hhds. were taken for
Ireland, 170 for export, 220 on speculation, and the remainder by
Manufacturers. The market is now barely supplied, and the im-
ports, which are just beginning to arrive, will be light for some
weeks. Present stock, 2290 hhds. against 5370 in 1839.

The sales in Brimstone are again on a very limited scale, the
consumers only buying in small quantities, just for their immediate
consumption. There is a moderate inquiry for Sumac, and 200
bags Sicily are reported at 12s 6d per cwt. 10 boxes white Argots
have been sold at 455, and small saltS made in Cream of Tartar at
80s per cwt. There has been a good demand for Persian Berries,
and holders generally are asking a considerable advance upon pre-
vious prices; 10 bales of middling quality are reported at £l3 as
to £l4 13s per cwt. Rather more inquiry for flag Annatto, and 12
casks have been disposed of at eid to bid per lb. There is some
inquiry for Madders and Madder Roots; the sales reported are 20
casks Dutch, at former rates, 60 bales French Roots, at rather
lower rates, and 50 bales Turkey, at 47s per cwt. 100 casks
Quercitron Bark are reported at 12s 6d to 13s per cwt. A good
demand has sprung up for Olive Oil, and upwards of 200 tuna, the
bulk Spanish. have realized £5l per tun; £53 is now generally
asked. Fish Oils.—Higher prices have been required for all des-
criptions, in consequence chiefly of the unfavourable result of the
Greenland Whale Fishery, but some inquiry continues for export ;
particularly for pale Seal ; of which (including 60 tuns just arrived)
the sales this week have been about 100 tuns, at -€25 5s to £26 les ;
in Cod no sales heve transpired, but the market is very barely sup-
plied. No alteration can be noticed in Rape Oil, but rather more
demand has appeared. Linseed Oil is dearer, 26s 6d having been
paid for small parcels. For Oil of Turpentine 55s has been accepted,
and the demand, even at this reduction, is very limited. Palm Oil.
—Sales of 240 tons are reported at £a6 as to £37, according to
quality, and about 80 tons, the price of which is not stated; some
inquiry has appeared for arrival, but no transactions have taken
place.—Baltic descriptions of Hemp have advanced 40s to 408 per
ton, small lots of Petersburgh clean having realized £3B, Riga
ontshot £37, and Petersburgh half clean £3O per ton. A few
bales East India Sunn Hemp have been sold £l7. For the better
qualities of Flax more demand has appeared, at some little im-
provement in. prices. Tallow.—The only business reported con-
sists of Petersburgh yellow Candle, at 53s 6d to 53s ed ; but in the
early part of the week some more extensive transactions are
understood to have taken place at lower rates; the market has,
however, since recovered.

LIVERPOOL COTTON
