LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JUNE 25.

There has been a slight improvement in the demand for
Sugar, particularly for white Bengal, but no change in price,
and the sales are 500 hhds B. P. and 4500 bags Bengal, at the
quotations. The demand for Foreign is confined to exporters ;
the sales of the week are 140 cases, 2000 bags brown Brazil, and
240 boxes yellow Havana, at the quotations, besides which a
cargo of 1200 boxes, of similar quality, has been sold, afloat, at
255. per cwt., deliverable in Holland. The arrivals of Molasses
within the last fortnight have been very large, but the trade
being unwilling to hold stocks, importers have not been able to
effect sales, though prices below the quotations would be
accepted.
. _ .

The demand for Coffee is not active, but prices arc well sup-
ported; 90 tces. Jamaica, at auction, brought fully last week's
rates. In Foreign, the sales are confined to 100 bags Porto
Rico and 40 barrels Rio, at the quotations. Nothing done in
Cocoa, Ginger, Pepper, or Pimento.
500 tces. Carolina Rice sold from 20s. 3d. for very ordinary,
to 245. 9d. for fine, 9000 bags Bengal, at 17s. for broken, to I9s.
and I9s. Gd. for line white.

The business in Rum has been very trifling, Demerara, 39
per cent. 0. P., has been sold at 4s. sd., and East India at
2s. 10d. per gallon, proof.
A fair inquiry exists for common to good Congou Tea, the
former at Pd. and the latter from 11d. to is. Id. ; the good and
fine qualities still continue neglected. In Greens, all-Canton-
made sorts are heavy of sale, whilst the good medium kinds are
a little more inquired for, at rather improved rates; the market
is quite bare of the finest descriptions, and are much wanted.
The sales in East India Drysalteries have been 50 chests Shell
Lac, low to good orange at 465. to 575. ; 26 chests Gum Arabic,
very fine, up to 86s. ; 35 bales Bengal Safflower at 755. to 1058.,
and 32 bales Bombay at 15s. per cwt.; 100 pockets of Turmeric
at 165.; and 1000 bales and baskets of Gambier, price not
reported; the sales in Saltpetre and Nitrate of Soda continue
trifling, and prices barely supported.
There has been a fair demand for all kinds of Guano, and
the rates bre barely maintained for the lower descriptions,
whilst Peruvian remains steady at .e 8 15s. to .49 per ton.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, -Arms-25.
The demand for Cotton has been very good throughout the
week from the trade; exporters and speculators have also
bought freely. The market continues firm, with prices gra-
dually hardening, being now fully id. per lb. higher for Ame-
rican And Surat, and id. to id. per lb. for most descriptions of
long stapled, (particularly Bahia and Egyptian,) than on this
day week. 3880 American, 960 Surat, and 690 Pernant hare
been taken for export, and MO American, 100 Pernam, and
4000 Surat on speculation.

COTTON MARKET, JUNE 28.
The tone of our Cotton market is gradually becoming firmer,
and every arrival from the States seems to confirm the lowest
reasonable estimate of the year's crop, viz., 1,780,000 to
1,800,0j0 bales; but the report of the Hibernia is more favour-
able than hitherto for the ensuing crop. The sales to-day are
10,000 bales, 4000 to speculators and exporters, at extreme
prices.
