7 0. P., at 3s id, and stronger at 5s 5d per gallon.
Tea.—There had been a steady demand, at improvir4 prices,
previous to the arrival of the account, by way of Marseilles, that
our disputes with China were in a train of settlement, which
has caused a completo panic in the market, and prices have receded
considerably, and our quotations may be considered nominal.
There has been but little business done in East India Drysaltery
articles this week; about 60 chests of Lac Dye reported at gd to
lld per ib, and 1500 bags of Satpetre at 27s to 28s, with 210 bags

Ashes are dull, but without variation in price. There has been
nothing done in Hides, and the market-remains without alteration.
Tobacco.—The sales amount to 230 hhds., of which about 40 were
for export and the remainder for the Trade at steady prices.
The Brimstone market remains in the same dull state as noticed

been done this week; the sales amount to 150 tons, (part from the
quay,) at lOs to .. 36 per ton. 10 tons Petersburg clean Hemp

Saturday last, a cargo of damaged Yellow Candle, consisting of
about 820 casks, was sold by auction, and upon the whole realized

since been sold, although at low rates, namely, from 36s for very
dark and inferior sorts, up to 45s 6(1 for the finest quality, and
yellow Candle has also within the last day or two been sold at
some little reduction.

LIVERPOOL COTTON

MARKET, JAN 8

The week opened with a fair demand from the Trade, and full
prices were paid; the arrival on Thursday, however, of the over-
land mail, with intelligence of the China dispute being all but
settled, caused the withdrawal of several stocks from the market,
and has enabled those who are disposed to sell to obtain an ad
_ .

vance of id to f d per lb on American and Surat, at which the
market closed firmly. Brazil and Egyptian remain without altera-
tion. Speculators have taken 11,000 American, 3,800 Surat, 200
Maranham, 250 Carthagena and 50 Egyptian. 110 Bengal were
taken for export.
