LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JULY 31. I
The market remains extremely dull, but as holders are not
generally disposed to give way, there is no change in prices. The
sales of B. P. are only 100 hhds. 2500 bags Mauritius have been
taken at 71s. to 755 for very low damp brown, and 82s to 85s for

B. P. would be reduced Id per lb, Cape to remain at 9d, and Foreign
imported direct, lojd per lb; the Chancellor of the Exchequer
having. however, determined to make no alteration in the duties
during the present session, there is consequently less disposition to
purchase, and the former quotations are continued. 530 bags Rio,
