LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, OCT. 30.
Sugar.—There has only been a very moderate demand, and the
sales of B. P. barely reach 350 hhds. ; but in prices there is no
alteration, as holders are very firm. 200 bags low Brown Bengal
hold at 72s per cwt., and 330 bags of Mauritius at former prices.
Foreign.—ln the early part of the week the demand was active, and
the sales amounted to 140 cases Brazil, on the spot, at 24s 6d for
white, and 215 6d per cwt. for brown, and a cargo of white, to arrive,
at 24s 6d per cwt. deliverable here ; within the last day or two the
the market has been quiet. Bonded Refined.—No sales reported.
No sales reported in Molasses. Coffee.—The sales of Plantation
comprise 200 cask of Jamaica; for the ordinary qualities the de-
mand is exceedingly limited, and prices of these sorts suffered a
decline of fully 3s per cwt. ; the fine descriptions, however, brought
previous rates. 330 bags Java were sold at the quotations, and 120
bags St. Domingo, via Cape, 445. Of Foreign, 120 bags Brazil
brought 425 per cwt. No transactions are reported in Cocoa,
Ginger, Pepper or Pimento. The sales in Rice consist of 25 tees.
Carolina at 30s, duty paid, and 600 bags of Bengal, chiefly at 13s Ski
to 14s per cwt. The business in Rum is limited to 140 puns.,
Leewards at 3s sd, and strong Demerara at 5s 10d to 6s per gallon.
Tea.—The market has been quiet during the week, but no altera-
tion has taken place in prices ; holders are very firm, and anxiously
waiting for the next accounts from China.

Indigo.—Some public sales were brought forward yesterday. but
the Trade showing no disposition to buy, in the face of considerable
sales advertised for the 19th proximo, the bulk was withdrawn ;
few chests, however, on which there appeared no limits, sold
moderately; altogether, 22 chests Bengal sold at 49 4d to 5s Id, and
20 chests Bombay Fig at 2s per lb. Sales of 20 chests orange Shell
Lac are reported at 70s to 755, 10 bales Bengal Salliowei at 15s.
550 baskets Terra Japonica at 20s Gd, and 211 slabs Straits' Tin at
78s, Not a transaction to report in Saltpetre, but of Nitrate of
Soda nearly 200 tons sold at the quotations.
Dyewoods. The sales are 40 tons Campeachy Logw ood at £lO,
40 tons inferior, indirect, at th'e 158, 180 tons Jamaica arid Honduras
at to £7 10, and 160 tons Savanilla Fustic at £5 Is 6d to .e 5 les
per ton. The demand for Turpentine continues very regular, and
1100 brls. have been taken by the Trade at Ils lod to 12s 3d. A
csrgo of Swedish Tar has been disposed of at about previous prices.
There is a good inquiry for Montreal Pot Ashes, and the market
has rather improved; 300 to 400 brls. have been sold, principally
of old Ashes, but for the new import 27s 6d to 278 yd has been
obtained, with a few at 28s. Pearl Ashes are so much neglected that
the quotations are almost nominal. Hides.—The market continues
steady, and the only sales to report arc 2000 salted Monte Video Ox
at 56 to Sid per lb. Tobacco.—ln the state of our market no altera-
tion can be noticed; a fair business has been during the week, at
steady rates, and the sales, as made up for the month, reach 1500
hhds. ; of which 600 were Virginia leaf and 300 stemmed, 120
Kentucky leaf and 430 stemmed, with a few Marylands ; of these,
330 hhds. were taken for Ireland, 250 for export, 130 for re-sale, and
the remainder by the Trade, leaving our present stock 7350 hhds.
against 5550 same time last year.
This market for Brimstone continues in a languid state, and the
sales made from time to time for consumption, only in small parcels.
In Sumac no transactions worthy of notice have taken place. There
has appeared rather more disposition to sell Cream of Tartar, in
consequence of better supplies than of late; small lots have brought
825, and for 11 casks sus has been accepted. Argols dull of sale.
Of flag Annatto the sales of the week are about 25 casks, at is to
Is Id per lb. Nothing has been done this week in Valouia. The
demand for madder, as well as for Roots, is moderate, and only
small sales reported, in previous rates. In Quercitron Bark the sales
reported are about SO hhds. Baltimore at 12s dd to 138. Only a
limited business has been done this week in Olive Oil, without the
least alteration in prices. A little more demand has been ex-
perienced for Cod and Seal Oil; about 50 tuns of the former have
been sold, chiefly at £27 10s, and small lots at £2O ; a few tuns
pale Seal have been sold at £3O lOs to th'3l per tun. Pale Rape
and Linseed Oils continue in very limited demand, at the annexed
quotations. Oil of Turpentine has already maintained the advance
noticed last week; the price is 525. In Palm Oil, the sales this
week ale rather under 100 tons, at £37 to .e 37 58 per ton; but all
from second hands ; no sales have been made for arrival. The
transactions in Hemp and Flax are vary limited, and for Baltic
Hemp prices have tendency to decline a little. Petersburg yellow
Candle Tallow has been in rather better demand this week, at a
trifling reduction in price, 53s 66 having in some instances been
accepted from the ship-side; a few sales of Odessa have also been
effected at 53s 66 per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 30.
There has been an improved demand this week, particularly for
American, of which the Trade have bought freely, at extreme
prices. Sea Island and the good qualities of Egyptian are rather
dearer; Surat, in consequence of the late large import, are id per
lb lower, and a similar decline has been submitted to in Brazil.
Speculators have taken 3000 American, and Exporters 200 American;
and there have been forwarded into the country unsold during the
month 2800 American and 150 Bahia.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCTOBER 31.
During the last seven days we have had moderate arrivals f
British Grain, Flour and Oatmeal. The foreign imports comprise
10,630 qrs. of Mediterranean and American Wheat, with 1,220 qrs.
Oats, and 3,960 barrels of Flour from the United States . of these,
however, only 2,285 qrs. Wheat, 87 qrs. Oats, and 99 barrels of
Flour have been duty paid : the respective rates of impost are now
23s 8d per qr., 10s-9d per qr.,and 14s 3d per brl. Of Colonial pro-
duce we have received, from Canada, 19,500 barrels. Flour ad-
missible for home consumptson, at a duty of 3s per brl. In the
early part of the week there was rather more firmness in the Wheat
trade, and an advance of Id to 2d per bushel was quoted on prices
generally : this has since been sustained ; but, at yesterday's market,
which was thinly attended by buyers, the transactions were again
very limited. A small lot of Irish new, very choice Clonmel,
brought Os per 701 b. Throughout the week Flour has met a languid
demand at 33s to 34s per brl. for United States the latter price
obtainable only for small lots of the best brands. Canadian has
been sold at 325 to 32s 6d per barrel. Though we cannot report
anything like an active inquiry for new Oats and Oatmeal, the
recent supplies of both have been pretty well cleared off, at as 1 lid
for choice, 2s 10d to 2s lld per 451bs for the general run of Irish
Kiln-dried Oats; 25s 3d to 265 per load for Oatmeal, A little
English new Barley, fine Chevalier, has brought 40a to 42s per qr.,
a small parcel or two of Irish kiln-dried at the same time selling
at 45 6d to 4s 8d per 601bs ; uudried 3s 6d to 3s 10d per 601bs. No
change has regards Beans and Peas. A cargo of Odessa Wheat
has been sold, in bond, at 55 per 70Ibs t and a few hundred bushels
of U. S. Flour, for export, at 23s fid to 2ts 10d per barrel.
