There continues to be a moderate demand only for Brimstone,
at the reduced prices fixed last week. Nothing worthy of notice
has been done in Sumac, Argols or Cream of Tartar. Some

in steady request, and full prices are still maintained ; the sales of
the week have been 70 to 80 tuns. The news received within the
last few days of the total failure of the Davies's Straits Whale
Fishery, caused in the early part of the week some inquiry for Seal
Oil, and about 100 tuns changed hands at 427 to £29 for coloured,
and £3l lOs to .e 32 for new pale ; a few tuns of last year's im-
port were sold at £3ll 103 ; in other descriptions of Fish Oils no im-
provement has been realized, but higher rates have generally been
required, Seed Oils remain without the least alteration. Oil of
Turpentine is saleable only in small parcels, at about our quotations.

continues very limited, and the only sale reported this week is a lot
of about 55 tons from the quay at 438. A cargo of 500 tons just
arrived will be stored, the owner being unwilling to sell at present
prices. In Flax and Hemp the sales have been trivial; for
Petersburg sorts the recent advance i% maintained, and 10 tons
Riga Rhine Hemp are reported at £43. A further advance has
been obtained for Jute, 250 bales having been sold at £l5 105, and
4'16 refused for very fine quality; 75 bales Bombay Hemp brought
.tig per ton. In tallow a limited business has again been done,
at former prices for yellow Candle; on Saturday last, about 400
pipes South American were offered by auction, the greater part of
which were sold at 42s for very inferior, up to 52s for the finest
quality, being a trifling decline on previous sales.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 9.
The unsettled aspect of political affairs has in sonic degree had
an influence upon the market this week ; although there has been
a fair demand from the Trade, the buyers have acted with caution,
and in some instances the holders have appeared more disposed to
sell ; prices, however, generally remain without any any material
change, excepting in the common qualities of American, which are
a shade lower. 1200 American have been taken on speculation.
