LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, APRIL 23

Sugar.—The demand for B. P. is still almost entirely suspended,
and the sales are not 100 hhds., chiefly Baroadoes, at 66s to 70s 6d
per cwt. For Bengal there is a fair inquiry, but at low rates, and

2200 bags have been taken, chiefly at 67s 6d to 71s 6d per cwt. 400

bags Mauritius have also been disposed of, at 68s to 73s per cwt
_ .

Foreign.—The sales this week are about 270 cases and 150 brls.
Brazil. to the Refiners, chiefly at 22s for white, and Igs for brown
Bahia, old, but of fair quality. 370 boxes white Havana taken

for export, at 30s 6d, and 108 brls. Porto Rico. for stores, at 23s per
. _

cwt. Bonded Refined

—This market remains quiet,

Nothing re

ported in Molasses. Coffee.—The transactions in Plantation have

been very limited, comprising 70 casks Jamaica and 40 bags
Demerara, at the quotations, 700 bags East India (gd duty) were

sold at 35s to 38s for Pedang, up to 56s 6d for middling Java. No
sales of Foreign of any moment. 80 brls. ordinary Jamaica
Ginger sold at 60s per cwt., 70 bags Pimento at 3d, and 1000 bags
black Pepper at 31-d to Old per lb, Nothing done in Cocoa. Rice.-
60 tees. Carolina, in bond, sold at 22s and 200 bags Bengal at the
quotations. Rum.—No transactions to report.
Tea.—Throughout the week there has been a fair demand for
Congous and Twankays, at an advance of id to Id per lb on last
week's prices ; in the good and fine descriptions nothing doing.
There has been some demand for Indigo since the close of the
London sales, but this market is bare of suitable descriptions ; 20
serous sold at 5s Id to 5s 2d per lb. Nearly 200 chests of Shell Lac
brought at auction 35s to 455, which is a little lower ; 63 chests of
Camphor £lO to .tlO 2s 6d, 560 bags Cutch 155 to 15s 3d, and 20
boxes of Borax 50s per cwt. Saltpetre and Nitrate of Soda remain
dull; the sales have been moderate, and at lower rates.
Dyewoods.—The sales reported are part of a cargo of Campeachy
Logwood (damaged) at 17s 6d to £9, 80 tons Jamaica at
.6'6 2s 6d to es ins; 70 tons Savanilla Fustic at £5, and a small
parcel of Lima Nicaragua Wood at £l3 per ton. There are no
salas of Turpentine or Tar to report on the spot, but to arrive a
parcel of Turpentine has been sold, the price of which has not
been allowed publicly to transpire. The market both for pot and
Pearl Ashes continue dull, but the stock is gradually diminishing.
The sales of Hides are not extensive, but full rates have been
realized; 500 salted Lima are reported at 4id, 500 Buenos Ayres Ox
at 4d, 100 good Monte Video Cow at 4id, 300 New York at 3ld per
lb; and 783 Monte Video Horse at Gls 2d each. Tobacco.—There
has been no improvent in the demand, and the sales are consequently
very trifling.

The market for Brimstone remains in the same state of inactivity
which has prevailed for a log timc past, nor has the further reduc-
tion of 25s to 30s per ton announced this week at all tended, as
yet, to increase the demand; the reduced scale of prices is given
in the quotations of the day. No demand worthy of notice has
taken place in Sumac. For the liner descriptions of Argols there
has been more ready sale, and about 60 cases Florence and Bologna
have been taken from 47s to 48s per cwt. ; with a few red Oporto
at 33s per cwt. Brown Tartar and Cream of Tartar have been in
fair request, without change in prices. No sales reported in Berries
or flag Annatto. Madders and Roots continue in very limited
demand. No sales reported in Quercitron Bark. After the large
business in Olive Oil done last week, little remained here for dis-
posal, and the transactions this week have consequently been on a
limited scale, at full prices. Notwithstanding the recent unfavour-
able report from Newfoundland of the prospects of the Seal Fishery,
Fish Oils still sell but slowly, pale seal at £32 10s to £33 from
store ; some inquiry appears, however, for the continental markets,
considerably under the rates, but at the same time at much better
prices than were paid for the new Oil last season, and a good de-
mand is anticipated ; the little advance required for Cod Oil has
checked the improved demand noticed last week, and few sales have
been made; £26 is the highest price yet paid. Pale Rrape and
Linseed Oils are again in limited demand, and prices a shade
easier. Oil of Turpentine is reported to have been sold lower this
week ; but although the inquiry is by no means, brisk, the Dis-
tillers generally refuse to give way, and we make no alteration in
the annexed quorations. Palm Oil.—The recent large purchases.
have contributed a good deal to reduce the stock, and thereby give
firmness to the market; including, a sale of 450 tons for export,
the transactions this week amount to upwards of 600 tons, at fully
last week's prices, and small lots have realized £34 15s to £35 per
ton. No business has transpired in Baltic Hemp or Flax; 100 bales
Jute have been sold at £l3 15s, and a small parcel of Sunn at
.elB les pee ton. Tallow.—A fair demand is still experienced; 4gs
is generally required for Petersburg yellow Candle, but, except for
some retail lots, not more than 48s 6d has been realized, and 47s 6d
to 48s for Odessa ; in South American no rales are reported, chiefly
for want of supplies.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 23.
Our market presents the same appearance of insipidity to-
day as for the last week—very little demand—and the busi-
ness does not exceed 2,500 bales.—The sales of the week are
14,620 bales, all to the trade.

COTTON MARKET, APRIL 23.
The demand has been very limited, and the market much de-
pressed throughout the week, the business being confined to the
immediate wants of the Trade; prices of low and middling American
have declined fully id per lb, whilst the better qualities are without
change. Surat is id lower, and other kinds are heavy of sale at
previous rates.
