has been quiet, and the sales do not exceed 100 hhds., chiefly
Kentucky stemmed. No Virginia of the new import yet sampled.
The demand for Brimstone, owing to the high prices required for
the article, has been of the most limited kind, consumers taking
their supplies only for immediate use. Some few small sales have
been made in Sumac, without change in prices. Argols and Tartar
have been in limited request. Hbout 100 casks of flag Annatto
have been sold from 7d to 7ad per lb. bladders and Madder

required. The demand for Olive Oil has been more moderate than
for some time past, but the sales of the week have reached nearly
50 tuns, and, wiih few exceptions, at previous rates. Fish Oils con-
tinue in good request, and the recent advance on pale Seal is fully
supported; £4O is new the lowest price at which this article can
be nought, and some holders decline that rate; a parcel of about
40 tuns Newfoundland Cod Oil has been sold at a reduction in
price, the condition of the casks heing unmerchantable.—Oil of
Turpentine is little inquired for, and has been sold at 29s.—Seed

pired; but 1500 bales of Jute have been sold at £l4 lOs to £l5 lOs
per ton. The Tallow market has hardly maintained the improve-
ment noticed last week ; in yellow Candle we have no alteration
to remark, but South American has boon sold rather under the
prices of the last public sale.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
SEPTEMBER 2d, 1842.
On Friday and Saturday last the Hay Markets were exceedingly
well supplied with all descriptions of Agricultural produce, and
although there was a very heavy stock of Potatoes brought for-
ward by our local farmers, this root, as well as all other descrip-
tions, met a free sale at much about our last quotations.
