LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET', Nov. 6. •
The demand continues extremely limited, and the sales of B.P.
only amount to 250 hints., without change in prices. There are no
transactions to report either in Bengal or Mauritius. Foreign.—
Early in the week a cargo of Bahia, to arrive, was disposed of, at
21s 6d for brown, and 248 6d for white, warehoused here ; since
then the market has been quiet. Bonded Refined.—A parcel of
Crushed has been sold at 335 6d per cent. A small parcel of Rico
Molasses, at 44s per cwt. in store, is the only transaction this week
to notice. Coffee.—The demand for Plantation has been very
limited, without producing any variation in prices ; the only sale
reported consist of 40 casks of Jamaica. Of Foreign 100 bags
were sold, ordinary Brazil at 41s, and good ordinary Laguayra at
52s per cwt. A small lot of Pimento sold at 3d, and 400 bags of
black Pepper at 4id to 4id per lb. Nothing done in Cocoa or
Ginger. No sales in Rice. The sales in Rum are limited to about
50 puns., at former prices.
consequence of the absence of news from China, there
has been little business done this week, holders offering only small
parcels but prices are very firm.
The demand for all descriptions of East India Drysaltery articles
has been extremely moderate. and the sales are to a trifling extent.
500 bags of Nitrate of Soda sold at lgs to 19s 6d per cwt., and
nothing reported in Saltpetre.
llyewoods.—The sales in Logwood are quite unimportant; 60
tons Cuba Fustic have brought .e 9 to £lO, and a few tons
Camwood £23 to per ton. The demand for Turpentine don-
Unties regular, and prices rather advance, the market being nearly
cleared of all the parcels in first hands, except the late arrivals,
which are now advertised for public sale ; 1500 to 1600 brls. have
been sold at 118 6cl to 13s 3d. Stokholin Tar is in demand, and
2800 brls. have been taken by the Trade at advanced rates. There
has been a brisk demand for Montreal Pot Ashes, and 300 to 400
brls. have found buyers at improving prices, the sales of the last
two or three days having established an advance of Is per cwt. ;
new Ashes have been sold at 28s 6d, but even at this price there are
few sellers; we have had an export demand here, which has ex-
tended to London also, and to Glasgow. Pearl Ashes are dull, and
price rather drooping. Hides are in more limited demand, but
there is no material alteration in price ; a few salted Monte Video
Ox are reported at 54d, 1100 dry salted Pernambuco at did to bid,
1100 salted New South Wales at aid to 4d, 350 dry salted Bombay
Kips at 9id per lb ; and 600 salted Monte Video Horse at 13s 4d to
13s tid each. Tobacco.—The business of the week consists of 220
hhds., of which 60 were for Ireland, 20 fur re-sale, and the re-
mainder to the Trade. No change in prices.
The Brimstone market continues in the same dull state as
noticed for some time past, ai_d without any appearance of im-
provement ; the sales this week are limited to a few tons, at the
quotations. There has been a little inquiry for Argols, and 10 casks
white have been sold at 488, and id casks Oporto at 33s per cwt.
A few casks Cream of Tartar have realized 82s, and brown 51s
per cwt. The sales in Sumac are 150 bags Sicily (new) at 13s, and
a small parcel of Oparto at 7s 3d per cwt. Flag Annatto of good

Madder or Roots, 40 hhds. Quercitron Bark are reported at 14s to
, 15s per cwt. The sales in Olive Oil do not exceed 10 tuns ; no
change in prices. About 30 tuns Cod Oil brought £27 105 from
the quay, and about 40 tuns Seal .e3O lOs for pale, and proportionate
rates for coloured; Whale 011 is dull of sale. A little more inquiry has
appeared for Rape Oil, but few transactions have taken place;
Linseed Oil is again lower, having been sold at 288 6d per cwt.
Oil of Turpentine is in limited demand, and the prices without
alteration. Palm Oil.—The market is in a very unsettled state ;
1,10 tons have been sold, chiefly in the early part of the week, at
from £37 down to £36 lOs per ton, but the quotations are for the
present almost nominal. In Hemp and Flax no business of im-
portance has transpired, and the market has assumed a dull ap-
pearance. Tallow.—A limited business was done in the first few
days of the week at 53s to 538 6d for yellow Candle ; but the con-
tinued unfavourable accounts since received from Loudon have
nearly suspended transactions, and the annexed quotations, which
are reduced Is per cwt., must ~be considered little more than
nominal.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 6.
In the early part of the week the demand from the Trade con-
tinued general, and American Cotton, being less freely offered,
brought rather higher prices; since Tuesday the inquiry has become
more limited, and prices have receded to the quotations of Friday
last. Speculators have taken 1350 American.
