MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Jan. 23.)
SUGAR.-To-day a good demand existed for West
India Sugar, both for grocery and refining purposes;
the rates obtained were fully equal to Friday last. The
purchases te-day were 900 hhds, including at auction
151 hhds 12 trcs Barbadoes, which realized the full value,
fine yellow selling at 38 to 40s, mid to good 32s to 375,
ord to low 30a to 31s 6d. 13 hhds Demerara crystalised
sold at easier terms, good to fine yellow went at 36a to
41s, low to mid 333 to 355, brown 263 to 295.
REFINED.-Te-day the market was firm for home
trade goods, and a fair business was concluded; in prices
there is no variation. Crushed Sugar for shipping con-
tinues to attract little attention.
MAURITIUS. -This afternoon there was fair bidding%
at a public sale of 1,560 bags, and full rates were pii /,
fine yellow went at 35s to 365, good 22a to 345, interior
29s to 31s, and brown from 25s 6d to 28s 68.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon there was more compe-
tition at the public safes of 3,620 bags Bengal, and the
whole sold at fully former rates; Benares, fine white, rea-
lised 36s to 36s 6d; mid to good 33a to 35s 6d, low 32s to
32s 6d, mid and washed 31s to 35i 6d, low to mid grany 32s
to'3ss. Khaor 21s to 235, and low to fine soft yellow 24s
6d to 28s. Or 'Madras 4,200 bags went with more spirit
at the previous value; fine and superior grainy yellow
selling at 38s to 40s, ord to good 323 to 375, mid to fine
elauriteas kinds 293 to 335, soft brown 22s 6d to 23s 68,
and yellow ditto 24s to 27s per cwt.
Fonaacite-To-day operations privately in Foreign
Sugar were upon a rather more extended scale, and at
previous terms there were not free sellers. None was
submitted ;:o auction.
MOLASSES.-For West India there are still several
buyers, and the quantity remaining in importers bands is
much reduced. The prices paid have been 11s
to 12s, but chiefly 11s to Ils 6d. Bengal
and Mauritius are wanted at 10s to 108 6d, few
parcels are however on offer. There is a better demand
for Cabs and Porto Rico at Ils 6d to 12s 68. Honey
met with a slow sale, and low to fine Jamaica can be
obtained at from 35s to 505. Several parcels of Tama-
rinds have been again sold; East India at is to 123; fine
West India from 203 to 303 per cwt.
COFFEE.-To-day full rates were demanded for both
colonial and foreign coffee, there was, however, reluct-
ance on the part of exporters and home dealers to ope-
rate. At public sale 700 bags washed Rio were taken
in at 44s 6d, and of 500 bags Bahia a small portion only
sold at 33s 6.1 to 34s for ord. Of Costa Rica 4,500 bags
were Pertly disposed or, good to fine ord at 41s to 435,
and damaged at 37s 6d to 41s per owt. The general
value of good ord Native Ceylon is 395, there is, how-
ever, little doing privately.
Cocos.--The demand does not improve for Foreign,
moderate as prices rule; Bahia and Para being offered
at 24s to 265, and Guayaquil at 31s per cwt. At public
sale the quantity of West India offered has been 620
bags. There has been an improved demand, together
with a rise in prices of is to as per cwt; good red selling
at 37s to 395, mid 35s to 36s 6d, common 33s to 345, mid
to good grey 31s to 335, low 283 6d to 30s 68, and da-
maged 27a to 30$ 6d. The value of sound Grenada is
from 29s -0 36s per cwt.
TEA.-Prices for Congou have undergone no further
depression, and sorts-under is per lb are in good demand
for horse consumption, but absvo that rate operations
have been upon a limited scale, ten increase of orders is
quicley looked for, on account el the low rates and im-
proving consumption. There is still a plentiful supply of
all qualities. Prices for low raga at 7id to 7;18, good
common 8d to BiB, blackish leaf 98 to I Id, superior and
Pekoe kinds is to is sd. Oolong sells more freely, no
advance has taken place; the value of good to fine is is
Id to le 4d, inferior and mid 91 to Is. Only limited
transactions have taken place in Souchon, although com-
mon to mid can be obtained at 8d to I Id, good to fine Is
to Is 81 Pouchoug in small parcels has been selling at
4.i to 78, but at these low terms sales are nat pressed.
Thu demand is better for Green; there is yet a plentiful
supply, and sales consequently are easily made at pre-
vious low rates; ordinary and fine qualities attracting
the most attention. The value of Hyson of low to mid is
is to is 28, good to fina Is 33 to 2a superior 2s 2d to 2s
88, young Hyson, common lid to Is, better sorts is 10d
