LIVERPOOL COMMERCIAL MARKET, MARcn 17.
There has been an improved demand for Sugar, particularly
for 8.P., but as it has been met very freely by tne holders,
prices may generally be considered 6d. to Is. lower; in Bengal
there is no alteration. The sales consist of 800 hhds. 8.P.,
2200 bags of Bengal, and 2500 bags of Madras ; the latter from
295. to 345. 6d. per cwt. The market for Foreign remains very
quiet, and the sales are confined to 40 hhds. Porto Rico and
180 brls. of Brazil, without change in prices. The sales in Mo-
lasses are limited to 100 puns. Antigua and Barbados, at 18s.
.per cwt.
There is no improvement in the demand for Coffee, and our
quotations are barely supported; the sales are limited to 70
tees. Jamaica and 350 bags St. Domingo. chieflydamaged. 150
bags Trinidad Cocoa sold at 455. to 465. per cwt. ; and 900
bags Black Pepper at 20. per lb.
1100 tierces of Carolina Rice sold from 15s. 9d. to 198. 6d.,
and 6000 bags of Bengal, at 7s. for yellow cargo, in bond, and
Bs. 3d. to 10s. 6d. for low to good white, duty paid.
The Rum market is quieter, though no change in price can
can be quoted ; the sales are 130 casks Demerara, chiefly of
high strengths, within the range of the quotations.
The Tea market has again been very quiet for all kinds of
Tea; the few sales that have taken nlace are atabout previous
prices, except common Congou, which may be quoted id. lower.
There has been but little done in East India Drysalteries ; 30
chests Gum Arabic taken at 355. to 375. 6d., 3000 bags Myrabo-
lams at ss. 3d. to Bs., and 250 slabs Banca Tin at 825., hem all
that is reported. 2000 bags Saltpetre were sold at 31s. to 335. 9d.,
and 3000 bags Nitrate of Soda at the quotations.
Of Guano about 400 tons have found buyers at about the
quotations.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MARCH 17.
The market has continued quiet throughout the week, and
the middling and better descriptions of American have again
declined 4d. per lb. ; all other sorts are difficult of sale at
per lb. reduction. There was only a thin attendance at the
public sale of Sea Island last Friday.; out of 1400 offered, only
250 were sold, at a decline from previous rates of ad. per lb. on
the lower qualities, and Id. per lb. in the fair to good fair.
Speculators have taken 300 American, and exporters 700
American.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 14

--•
The arrivals into this port, during the week ending yesterday.
contain a fair supply of Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, with a
moderate quantity of Flour from Ireland, and sever al parcels of
Grain coastwise; the imports from abroad, forming merely
9857 qrs. of Indian Corn, 5177 barrels of Corn Meal, and 1117
barrels of Flour exclusively from the United States, having none
recently in from the continent of Europe.
Although we had a good attendance of buyers at this day's
market, and the prices of Wheat were rather above those of
Friday, they scarcely reached the currency of this day week,
and the business done was only moderate.

American Flour at late prices; sack Flour in rather more
request, and the turn dearer.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas remained unvaried.
Oats in slow request, and ad. per 451bs. cheaper. Oatmeal
supported late prices.
Indian Corn was,rather easier to purchase to-day, and while
the best qualities of white were Is. cheaper, prime qualities of
yellow nearly supported our last quotations.
Indian Meal 6d. lower.

t of any effec-

tual aid immediately trim abroad, the trade Between Tuesday
and to-day has ruled steady, but not active in any of its
branches.

Our market to-day being in a great zneasure deserted by
country buyers, and our local dealers more on the reserve than
usual ; we have to report an excessively dull lingering trade in
nearly all its departments; with a tendency to rather lower
prices generally, and under these circumstances it was difficult
to form any precisely accurate quotations in the few sales of
Wheat which were practicable. however, rather easier terms
were conceded; and any description of either sack or barrel
Flour barely sustained previous rates.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Fease, were held nominally within
the range of Tuesday's quotations, -Oats continued in mode-
- ()at- I the same time moving

rate request at late prices —meal a.
slowly without any apparent change in value.
Indian Corn, being taken more sparingly to-day, declined Is
per qr., and Corn Meal 6d. per barrel.

WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, MARCH 14.
Although a fair business was transacted in Wheat, a decline
from the prices of last week of about Is. per quarter was sub-
mitted to, at which reduction 166 qrs. were disposed of. In
other articles no sales were effected.
