SHARE MARKET, MONDAY EVENING.
Our Share market up to the close of the week was fully main-
tained, and this day we have again to notice a firm demand. Grand
Junction Shares were sold on Saturday for £220, and the same
priee offered to-day. Owing, however, to the transfer books of
different companies being closed just now, previous to the half-
yearly meetings, the transactions have not been so numerous as
otherwise they might have been.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, FEn. 21.
There has again been a good demand for Sugar, and the market
being better supplied, the sales of B. P. amount to 1200 hhds. at
very full prices for all descriptions ; 4100 bags Bengal have also
been disposed of, at 69s to 7is for good to very fine white; no
Mauritius yet on the market. The sales in Foreign Sugar this
week are confined to 50 brls Pernams, at the quotations; nothing
done in Foreign refined.—No sales reported in Molasses, the market
being at present very barely supplied.—Coffee. The market con-
tinues steady, but without animation, the sales comprising 100
casks of Jamaica at previous rates, 115 casks and 1000 bags La
Guayra at 765, and 600 bags Rio at 60s to 62s per cwt. ; both the
latter parcels via the Cape. No sales of Foreign.-30 bags Trinidad

and nearly 260 puns have been sold, chiefly good and fine Demerara,
at 14s 2d to 15s and a few puns of fine Jamaica at 6s per gallon.
Tea. The market has been very quiet throughout the week, and
the quotations may be considered nominal. The London sales,
which commenced on Monday last, tare proceeded very heavily ;
about 51,000 packages have already passed sale, of which 13,400
have been sold at a decline on previous rates of 4d to 6d on Con.
gnus, 4d on Twankays, and 7d to 8d on Hyson, Imperial and Gun-
powder; the remainder was withdrawn at high prices.
The business in East India Drysaltcry Produce has been very
limited this week ; a few chests of East Iridia Gum Arabic sold at
52s to 545, and of Castor Oil at 7d per lb.—The market for Saltpetre
is very firm, and holders have in some instances obtained an ad-
vance of 6d per cwt.; about 1200 bags sold at 24s to 265.-30 tons
Nitrate of Sona are reported at 17s per cwt.
Dyewoods.—There has been an extensive demand for Logwood ;

sales to report, excepting 10 tons Sapan Wood at £ll per ton, and
10 tons Angola Barwood at £8 10s. There are no sales of Turpen-
tine to communicate; prices remain without alteration.—A few
hundred brls. of American Tar have been sold within the range of
the quotations.—For Montreal Pot Ashes there has been rather
more inquiry, and 200 to 300 brls. have been sold, at 24s ad to
24s 6d, with 100 to 200 brls. Pearl Ashes, at 29s 3d to 29s 6d per
cwt.—Clover-seed is in good demand, and scarce; a parcel of new
bags new French red sold by auction at 80s to 81s 6d per cwt.—
Nothing of consequence done in Flaxseed.—No alteration in Bees'
Wax.—Hides. The market continues heavy, and the sales of the
week have been unimportant.—The sales of Tobacco are about 70
hhds., of which 20 were for Ireland, and the remainder to the trade,
at the quotations.

Madder, at the quotations.—The demand for Quercitron Bark con
Unties limited, and the sales only 20 casks, at 13s 6d.—Olive Oil has
been more-in request, and the sales of the week have reached 60 to
70 tuna, including about 15 tuns Gallipoli, which has changed hands
at .t'63, and is now held for £65, besides a parcel of tine old Lisbon
Oil of .e 55 per tun.—About 40 tuns Halifax Cod Oil has been sold
at rather lower prices, and a few tuns brown Seal at .4'24 per tun.
—Pale Rape Oil continues in very limited demand, and has been
sold at 37s per cwt.—Linseed Oil, which early in theweek advanced
to 255, may now again been bought on rather easier terms.-100

.el 3 103 t 3 £34 per ton.—Oil of Turpentine is inquired for, and
