A change of wind has brought into port upwards of thirty
cargoes of Potatoes during the last two tides. There is a very
good demand for the best descriptions of Cups to our retail town
dealers. The country buyers purchase very sparingly ; the
markets in the interior being very dull, particularly in Manchester.
Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups .2s Oid to 25 2d per 90th.
We have had a fair supply of Sweed Turnips to hand coastwise
during the last week, for which there is a brisk sale at from 215 to
ass per ton. according to condition and quality.
Our local markets are pretty liberally supplied with produce by
our neighbouring farmers, for which they experience a brisk sale.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MARCH 18

Sugar.—The announcement that no alteration was intended to
be made in the Duties, has caused an animated and extensive de-
mand for all descriptions, and the sale of 13. P. amount to 1300
hhds., at an advance of 28 to 3s per cat. 12,.100 bags Bengal have
also been disposed of at a similar improvement, viz. at about 3000

man-idol" good to fine white at 71s to 74s per cwt. 60,+0 bags
Mauritius, not reported last week, were sold at an average of about

665. No transactions in Foreign. Molasses.—The same cause
which has influenced the B. P. Sugar market, added to the unusually
small stock, has induced the Trade to take off what few parcels
were offering. and the sales amoaut to 450 puns. Demerara, at 24s
for old to 27s to 28s for fair to fine new, being and advance of is
per cwf. Coffee.—ln consequence of the proposed reduction of
