MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
From the London New Price Current of Nov. 5.

SUGAR.-There has been a further decrease in the
home-trade demand for colonial ; but consumption re-
maining favourable, with stocks less than last season ;
sales are not pressed, in fact the confidence of merchants
is unshaken. Foreign is still much wanted both for the
home and foreign markets; stiff rates are also obtained,
and supply does not increase. Arrivals of all sorts of
sugar still fall short of consumption, and likely so to re-
main. In the value of West India no variation has oc-
curred since our last report, and the market is indiffer-
ently supplied. Stock of West India is 4,000 tons less
than last season. At all the ports total deliveries
of sugar for home trade purposes are for the sea-
son 5,700,000 cwt, and 5,200,000 in the previous one.
To-day there was rather more disposition to operate in
West India Sugar, chiefly for the refining purposes, and
rates close fully equal to Friday last. Operations are
365 hhde., making for the week 1486 hhds., 8:e. At auc-
tion 211 bids Gren •da sold at 32s 61 to 33s for floe
brown, and at 33s 61 to 34s for ord yellow.
REFINED.-The market for Refined Sugar is in &firm
position, there being a largo home trade demand, with
moderate supplies. Prices for brown lumps rule at 45s
to 458 6d ; l'ittlers, common to fine 45s 61 to 493 6d,
double 50s to 51s ; Hombre loaves 46s to 51s, double
51s 6d to 52. 6d, and standard lumps 47s per cwt.
Wet lumps are much required, low to mid at 42s 6d
to 43s 61. and good to fine 44s to 45s
Arrivals of Foreign Refined continued to come in
slowly, and no increase is, looked for. Bastards are
much wanted, brown at 27a to 31s, and yellow 32s to
355. Treacle is in brisk request, and rates are on the
rise, ruling for boiled from West India molasses at 14s.
to 14s 61, patent 15s Od to 15s 6d, and golden syrup
16s to 16s 6d. Several contracts have been entered into
for delivery. There is a good export demand for
British crushed sugar at 29s to 29s 3d per cwt., with a
firm market. Dutch is much wanted at 24s Od to 27s
6d, and extra 28s to 28s 6d, at which there are not free
' sellers. To-day only limited purchases were made in
refined sugar by home dealers, and rates rather declined,
brown lumps selling at 44s 6d to 455, and low to fine
grocery 45s 61 to 47s 6d. per cwt. The market for
crushed is firm, with several export buyers. At auction
this afternoon 16,000 loaves Bengal refined wore taken
in at 28s to 29s for 10 to 111bs.
MAURITIUS. - Although larger parcels have been
brought forward, still prices have undergone no varia-

465, yellow ditto 37s to 435, and brown 33s to 365.
Stock is still less than at this date last year. This after-
noon Mauritius sugar was in excellent demand, and
realized tally previous valuations. At auction 5,700
bags of old import were all sold, low to mid yellow at
33s to 34s 6d, good to fine 35s to 37s 6d, mid to fine
brown 30s to 32s 6d.
EAST INDIA.-Bengal Sugar was dealt in with greater
freedom, and previous terms are well kept. At auction
6,700 bags were sold, soft brown at 25s 6d to 275, very
low ditto 24s 6d to 253, mid to good grainy yellow 33s to
40s, common to fine white Benares 37s to 41s, date yel-
