LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, OCT. 12.
At the commencement of the week the Sugar market was very
firm, and full prices paid for all descriptions ; but, owing to the flat
accounts from London, there has since been less doing, and the sales
of B.P. are only 600 hhds., without change in the quotations. 5500
bags Mauritius sold at 57s to 655, and 1200 bags Bengal at 66s 6d to
69s 6(1 per cwt. being extreme rates. The sales of Foreign Sugar
consist of 140 cases Brazil, at an improvement in prices of Gd to Is
per cwt.—Nothing of consequence done in either Rice or Molasses.
—Coffee. The transactions in Plantation have been to a moderate
extent, and comprise 120 casks of Jamaica. at steady prices ; clean
ordinary and extra fine qualities continue most in request. No
sales of Foreign.—Nothing done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento, and
only 100 bags black Pepper sold, at 41d per lb.—For Rum there has
been a fair demand, and the sales consist of 160 puns of good De-

some small lots at £l5 per ton; 50 of Jamaica sold at £lO les to

kinds of Dyewoods have been to a very limited extent.—A con-
siderable amount of business has been transacted in Turpentine,
but neither the quantity nor price has been allowed to transpire ; it
is, however, estimated at 3000 to 4000 brls at 12s to 12s 4d per cwt.
—Montreal Pot and Pearl Ashes experience a fair demand, at 298 6d

The sales made in Brimstone this week have amounted to about
400 tons, without any change in prices ; the demand which appears
occasionally from the consumers, is met freely by the holders.—
Nothing worthy of notice is reported in Sumac, Madders or Mad-
der Roots.—Some inquiries for good white Argols have led to the
sale of a few lots of Bologna, at 47s to 48s per cwt.—Nothing
worth notice done in Tartar, excepting small lots of discoloured, at
full prices.—Valonia continues in lair request. —For Olive Oil there
has been a speculative inquiry. and about 100 tuna have changed
hands, chiefly Galipoli and Sicily, both of which are held for higher
rates than would have recently been taken.—Fish Oils remain with
a limited demand, but prices are without alteration ; the Davis's
Straits Fishery does not turn out quite so productive as first re-
ported.—ln Seed Oils but little has been done ; pale Rape is rather
lower.—About 300 tons Palm Oil have this week been taken by the
consumers, consisting of a cargo of ISO tons at £42 10s, the re-
mainder principally at £43, with some small sales at £43 5s per

imports of Hemp have been received which meet a ready sale at
our quotations ; fir a small parcel of Bombay £24 has been realized,
and about 450 bales Jute have brought £l3 per ton.—Tallow has ex-
.perienced a further improvement, but the business done at the ad-
vance is not extensive.
