MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, March 23.)
SUGAR.—Tc-day there was a material increase in the
business transacted in West India Sugar, and full rat 2s
were paid both for Grocery and Refining qualities. The
purchases are 735 hhds, &c., and the market closed with
a firm aspect. There was again no public sale of Bar-
badoes,

REFINED.-To-day, although Refined Sugar was in
good demand for home consumption, yet brown lumps
wore easily to be obtained at 43s 6d to 44s per cwt. In
Crushed Sugar rather more business doing for shipping,
Ull6 rormer terms are readily acceueu w.
MAURITIUS.-This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with a brisker demand, and the rates obtained were
equal to those of Friday. At auction 7,965 bags were
all sold; fine yellow realised 34s to 35s 6d, good mid-
dling to good 32s to 335 6d, low to middling 29s to 31s
6d, middling to good brown 253 to 271, fine 27s 6d to
28s 6d, and refining qualities from 283 to 345 6d.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon the demand for Bengal
Sugar revived. At auction 3,500 bags found buyers,
fine white Benares at 35s to 363 6d low, to good 32s to
34s 6d, damp and washed 31s to 365, ord to mid like
Mauritius 275 to 30s, mid and good soft yellow 25s to
28s 6d. Of Madras several parcels were sold privately
at firm prices, and 977 bags at auction realised 22s 6d
to 24s for soft brown, and yellow ditto 245:6d to 28s 6d.
FOREIGN.-To-day some parcels of yellow llavannah
were sold privately, chiefly for shipping, and former
rates were well supported. The market closed with
firmness, and none is offered at public sale.
MOLASSES.-For West India less inquiry exists, and
prices are not so firm, although few parcels are on
offer. Small sales of new Antigua made at 13s 6d, Bar-
badoes 13s, and other sorts of West India at 12s to
13s. Prices for Cuba and Porto Rico rule at 13s to
13s 6d; Bengal and Mauritius lls 6d to 12s per cwt;
few buyers are, however, to be met with, yet supply re-
mains scanty. Of Tamarinds supply is barely sufficient
for the demand, rates rule at 24s to 34s for West, and 8s
to 12s per cwt for East India. Honey sells freely, and
405 to 56s are the rates paid for low to fine Jamaica; the
supply is yet small."'
COFFEE.-This afternoon there was a greater demand
for Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and stiffer rates were ob-
tained. At auction 70 casks and 831 bags were nearly
all disposed of; low middling to middling went at 51s
to 555, fine fine ordinary 48s to 50s, fine ordinary 46s to
478, and triage 403 to 455. Native Ceylon was in good
request, and the former value well sustained. At public
sale 220 casks 1,058 bags were nearly all sold at 39s to
39s 6d for good ordinary. Mocha continues to be much
wanted, and rates closed with firmness at from 803 to
1003 per cwt for common to fine clean garbled.
COCOA..-Although West India is offered at rather
lower rates, the demand has been small for all pur-
pcses, and larger parcels are on offer. Of 370 brls and
150 begs Trinidad at auction, a small part only found
buyers • fine red at 39s to 40s, middling to good 34s to
31s, ordinary 33s to 33s 6d, and low to good grey 31s to
335. Privately Grenada can be obtained at 29s to 345.
For Foreign the market has a dull aspect, and prices are
on the decline, Bahia can be obtained at 23s 6d to 245,
Para 24s to 255, and Guayaquil at 285 to 29s per cwt.
Tnae-There is no decided reduction for Congou;
supply is larger and rates have a downward tendency.
There are sellers of low to good ord Congou
at 7fd to Bfd, blackish leaf 9d to 10}d, fine
and Pekoe kinds lld to is sd. In Oolong little
is doing ; good to fine can be obtained at lld to 2s
3d, and other sorts 8d to 10d. Souchong is less in de-
mand, larger parcels are on offer, and sellers are willing
to accept lld to Is 6d for good to fine and 8d to 10d for
inferior. Pouchong is still wanted at 4d to 6d. Green
L. has been dealt in with much caution. There are sellers of
low to mid Hyson at is to is 3d, good to fine is 4d to

SALTPETRE.-Previous terms are well susta.ne-, and
operations have been of a satisfactory nature for all
pirposes. At auction 3,500 bags Calcutta Were disposed
of ; refraction 13i to 9 per cent realised 25s 6d to
26. s 6d for common to mid, and 369 bags Madras 23s to
243 for 19i to 13} per cent. The good and fine sorts
of Calcutta are wanted at 325, but supply remains very
small. British refined sells freely at 29e 6d to 305. Ni-
trate of Soda 14s per cwt.
CocNINEAL.-To-day there was less demand for Co-
chineal, and last week's terms are barely supported. At
auction 55 bgs Mexican were nearly all taken in at 35
