LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, 'OCT. 30.
Sugar.—There has only been a very moderate demand, and the
sales of B. P. barely reach 350 hhds.; but in prices there is no
alteration, as holders are very firm. 200 bags low Brown Bengal
hold at 72$ per cwt., and 330 bags of Mauritius at former prices.
Foreign.—ln the early part of the week the demand was active, and
the sales amounted to 140 cases Brazil, on the spot, at 24s 6d for
white, and 21s 6d per cwt. for brown, and a cargo of white, to arrive,
at 24s 6d per cwt. deliverable here ; within the last day or two the
the market has been quiet. Bonded Refined.—No sales reported.
No sales reported in Molasses. Coffee.—The sales of Plantation
comprise 200 cask of Jamaica; for the ordinary qualities the de-
mand is exceedingly limited. and prices of these sorts suffered a
decline of fully 3s per cwt. ; the fine descriptions, however, brought
previous rates. 330 bags Java were sold at the quotations, and 120
bags St. Domingo, via Cape, 445. Of Foreign, 120 bags Brazil
brought 42s per cwt. No transactions are reported in Cocoa,

Leewards at 3s sd, and strong Demerara at 5s 10d to 6s per gallon.
Tea.—The market has been quiet during the week, but no altera-
tion has taken place in prices ; holders are very firm, and anxiously
waiting for the next accounts from China.
Indigo.—Some public sales were brought forward yesterday. but
the Trade showing no disposition to buy, in the face of considerable
sales advertised for the 19th proximo, the bulk was withdrawn ; a
few chests, however, on which there appeared no limits, sold
moderately; altogether, 22 chests Bengal sold at 4s 4d to 5s 6d, and

cargo of Swedish Tar has been► disposed of at about previous prices.

has rather improved; 300 to 400 brls. have been sold, principally
of old Ashes, but for the new import 27s 6d to 27s 9d has been
obtained, with a few at 28s. Pearl Ashes are so much neglected that
the quotations are almost nominal. Hides.—The market continues
steady, and the only sales to report are 2000 salted Monte Video Ox

tion can be noticed; a fair business has been during the week, at
