LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 15.

There has only been a moderate demand for Sugar, but as holders
are asking very extreme rates, and the market is at present very
barely supplied, prices remain without alteration, and the sales are

at 72s per cwt.—Foreign ugar. 75 cases, 220 brls and 300 bags
Brazil have been sold, chiefly brown, to the Refiners, who have also

digo, but they progressed without spirit; of 180 chests East India
and 420 serons Caraceas brought forward, only 70 of the former
sold; the good descriptions of Bengal went at fair prices, ranging
from 5s 9d to 7s, but the ordinary, Oude and Bombay Fig sold irre-
gularly, and lower; the whole of the latter was disposed of, at
prices upon a par with those current in London, but a material
-decline upon the last sales held here ; the following were the rates :

been sold at 12s 3d to 12s 6d per cwt.—ln Tar no sales are reported.
—Montreal Pot Ashes are taken in moderate quantities by the
Trade, at previous prices ; but as the stock is now confined to few
holders, it is difficult to purchase extensively at the quotations.

been more business doing in salted Monte Video Hides, but a fur-
ther decline of k per lb, and the sales reported are 12,000. at 4id to

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 14.
Although the demand this week has been to a fair extent, the
market is rather depressed, and the continued disposition on the
part of holders to effect sales has caused a decline of Id per lb upon
the lower and middling qualities of American; the recent import
of Brazil being now generally brought forward, prices have given
way id to id per lb ; East India is heavy of sale at previous rates.
Speculators have taken 4000 American and boo Egyptian, and Ex-
porters 1000 American. 550 Sea Island, 100 Smyrna and 000 Madras
are declared for auction next Friday.
