LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET. Atm. 2.
Sugar.—There continues a good demand, and a further ad-
vance of 6d. has been paid for most descriptions, except for
the lower qualities of Last India, which are dull of sale. The
transactions are 550 Mids. B.P. and 4,000 bags Bengal, together
with 700 bags Mauritius ; low to good yellow at 38s. to 395. 6d.
per cwt. Refiners continue free buyers of Foreign, and have
taken this week 150 cases, 4,500 bags brown Pernambuco at
17s. 6d., 130 cases Bahia at 178., and 400 cases (to arrive) at
18s. per cwt. landed, establishing an advance of 6d. 30 hhds.
Porto Rico have likewise been sold at 38s. to 38s. 6d., duty
paid. Molasses.—Lower prices have been accepted, which has
caused a larger business than has been done for some time
past, the sales being 1,110 casks, including a cargo of Cuba
Muscovado at 15s. 6d. per cwt., 430 casks Trinidad (an old
import) at 13s. 6d. to 145., 300 casks Antigua at Iss. for old,
and 16s. 3d. per cwt. for new from the quay. Coffee.—The

been sold, without change in price. 10 casks Plantation Ceylon
are reported at 525., and a few bags native at 455. per Cwt. A
small lot of Jamaica Ginger sold at 955. to 101 s. per cwt., and
50 bags Sumatra Pepper at 3d. per lb. No sales of Pimento.

2,000 bags Bengal, of Bs. 3d. to 10s. per cwt. for broken to mid-
dling white. Rum.—No sates. Tea.—During the week a good
business has been done both by the trade and speculators at
further improved prices. At a sale held yesterday of 2,000
packages, 1,500 went off briskly at fully previous rates.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 2.
We have had a week of the finest weather ; but, though
business has been confined to retail transactions, prices have,
with slight exception, been supported with considerable steadi-
ness. To-day the market is slow, but without pressure to sell.
Some slight concession may be made in the price of secondary
qualities of each article, but we see no reason to alter the
quotations of our last in any particular. The reports of the
probable yield of the coming harvest are not so flattering as
heretofore, and as regards potatoes they are somewhat unfa-
vourable.
