MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, March 5.)
Sucan.—To-day the West India Sugar market closes
with a quiet tone, and at a decline of fid per cwt for
brown and inferior, but for better qualities rates are ge-
nerally the same as on Friday last. At aucticn 321 hhds
13 trcs 253 brls St. Lucia were nearly all taken in, good
yellow at 33s to 345, mid to good mid 318 to 32s 6d, low
29s 6d to 30s 6d, and common to fine brown 26s to 295.
REFINED.—To-day lower rates were refused for Re-
fined Sugar, at the same time home dealers operated
with caution, and 44s to 44e 6d is the value of brown
lumps.
MAultrrivs.—This afternoon the public sales of
Mauritius went off at full rates, excepting brown, which
sold rather cheaper. Of 9,490 bags nearly the whole
found purchasers, good and fine yellow at 333 6d to 35t,
low to good mid 30s to 335, brown from 24s to 29s 6d,
low and very ord 20s 6d to 235, ord to fine grey 28s to
345, fine grainy yellow 38s to 39a 6d, ord to good 31s to
37e, and fine brown ditto 30e to 30s 61

EAST INDIA.—The public sales of Bengal Sugar pro-
ceeded quietly, and the previous currency was barely
maintained, but 4,900 bags were nearly all sold, good to
fine white Benares went at 341 to 363, mid 33s to
33s 6d, damp and washed 34s to 355, fair soft brown
23s 6d to 245, low to good yellow ditto 24s to 28s, ord to
mid like Mauritius 8s to 31s, and fine grainy yellew 37s
to 395. In consequence of rather lower rates being taken
for Madras, a good business was done, and 5,400 bags
at auction were nearly all sold, very low seft brown at
20s 6d to 225, better 22s 6d to 248, low to mid yellow
ditto 24s to 265, good to fine 26s 6d to 295, and a small
part at 34a for good ord.:
FOREIGN.—This afternoon more desire was evinced to
operate in Foreign. Several parcels of yellow Elavannah
sold privately at from 31s to 375; and 1,500 baskets
Java, particulars of which have not transpired. At
auction 100 casks white Savannah were taken in at 41s
for good duty paid, and washed 40s.
MOLASSES.—There are many buyers at previous im-
proved rates of 13s 6d to 14s for Antigua; other sorts of
West India are 12a 6d to 13s. The value of Cuba and
Porto Rico 13s to 13s 61; Bengal and Mauritius lls to
12s. Honey remains in good demand, good to fine Jamaica
realise 50s to 565, and other sorts 40s to 48s per cwt.
An impression exists tdat rates will rule higher. In
Tamarinds several purchases have been made, East India
at 7s to 12s; and West India 24s to 34s per cwt.
COFFEE.—Tc-day holders of Coffee were firm, and re-
frained from submitting any to public sale. There is
little doing privately in Native Ceylon, yet it is difficult
to purchase gord ord under 39s per cwt. There are se-
veral buyers of Plantation Ceylon, :and the former value
is well supported. Lochs was in good demand at the
full terms.

Cocoa.—An improvement has taken place in the de-
mand for foreign. The rates paid for Bahia and Para
have been 24s to 255, and Guayaquil 29s to 30s per cwt.
Stock still falls short of last season. British Plantation
remains in good ,request, and previous rates are well
sustained. Prices for good to fine red Trinidad rule at
37s to 435, low to mid 34s to 365, grey 303 to 345; Gre-
nada 30s to 35s • St. Vincent's 27s to 33s per cwt.
TEA.—The demand bus decidedly improved for ord
and medium Codgou this week, and merchants are
less inclined to press sales; but 'good to fine qualities
are still operated in with reluctance, and can easily be
obtained at previous low terms, there being no decrease
of supply. The rates obtained for low quality are 7d,
good common sovnd, 8d to Sid, blackish leaf 9d to 100;
&mend Pekoe kinds 1 Id to Is 5d per lb. In Oolong rather
more his been done at the previous currency of 8d to
10d for low to mid, and lid to is 3d fur good to fine.
In Souchong several transactions have taken place, yet
prices keep low, good to fine selling lld to is 63, and
inferior in to 103. Pouching has been more in request
at 4d to 7d. For common and medium green Tea the
demand has been tricker than list week, and the terms
of that period are sustained; in better kinds sales at
present are limited, and former prices are accepted. The
value of low to mid Hyson is is to is 3d, good to fine
is 4d to 2s, superior 2s 23 to 2s 8d; Young Hyson,
common 10d to 1 Id, mid to good is to is 6d, fine is 8d to
25 2d; Imperial Canton 10d to Is, Hyson kind is Id to 2s
Id; Gunpowder, Csutan 8d to Is; Hyson sort, low to
mid is ld to Is 6d, good to find is 7d to 3s 3d, Caper 8d
to is 3d, and Hyson kind 7d to ls. A good demand
prevails for scented orange Pekoe; at the same time
holders are disposed to accept for common 8d to 11d, and
Is to Is 7d for mid to fine. In flowery Pekoe rather
more has been done; fine and superior at is 8d to 2s Bd,
and low to good is to la 6d.
SPIRITS.—The market has a dull aspect for Leeward
Island Rum, and supply being more plentiful rates are
on the decline, ruling at is 5d to is 6d proof. East
India met with little notice, and can now be obtained at
Is 4d proof. Demerara offered at a small reduction, yet
operations have been trifling at from 2s to 2s 3d
for 28 to 42 for proof. With Jamaica the market is freely
supply shippers and home dealers have been eautious in
their operations. There are sellers of choice sorts 34 to
38 over proof at 3s 8d to 46, fine 3s to 3s 63, good 32 to
35 over 2s 7d to 2s 10d, mid 2s 4d to 2s 6d, and low 27
to 30 ove 2s 9d to 2s 3d. Brandy is still held with
firmness. The rates obtained for Cognac, best brands
of the vintage of 1851, having been 4s 2d to 4s 4d; 1850
ditto 4s 5d to 4s 7d; 1849 ditto 4s 9d to 4s 11; 1848
ditto 5s 3d to 5s sd, older 5s 6d to 6s 6d, low to mid 2s
6d to 4s, and Bordeaux 2s to 2a 2d, a further diminution
has taken place in the stock. British made Spirit sells
freely at the late rates of 9s lid to lOs nett cash. Gin
22 under proof at 8s 63, and 17 ditto 9s. A fair pan•
tity of Geneva has been sold at is 9d to is 10d, and fine
2s to 2s 2d.

RICE.—To-day several purchases were made in East
India Rice privately, and the former value was well sup-
ported. At auction 877 bags Bengal sold at lOs to
108 6d for mid white.
SPlCES.—Pimento cannot be obtained at a reduction,
yet less demand exists, and supply is more plentiful.
At auction 560 bags were nearly all taken in at 4id to
5d for mid to good. Cassia Lignea has been more in
request, and stiffer rates are obtained, supply being still
scanty. At auction 120 chts were sold at 115 s to 122 s for
first and second pile, at 98s to 1103 for mouldy and da-
maged. Sales of Cassia Vera made at from 44s to 60s,

much wanted. Sales of Malabar having been made at
3id to 4d. Sumatra and Penang 3id to 3V. Only 350
bags have been offered at auction this week. A good
demand exists for white; the value is now from 7id
to 11d, and supply remains scanty. Several parcels
of Ca) anne have been disposed of from 7d to
2d. Cloves are in fair demand, Amboyna 7d
to Bd, Bourbon 6d to 6,td, and Penang lld
to is 2d. Cinnamon of common quality is still in
good request, and a small rise has been established, in
the better sorts little has been done. The value of
Ceylon is is 10d to 3s for first sort, Is 2d to 2s for se-
cond, third and fourths Is to is Bd. Several sales have
been made in Nutmegs, and a small advance has
been established ; low to fine brown is 9d to 3s
4d. On the part of holders of Ginger there is confi-
dence, and none has been submitted to pu4lic sale this
we( k. Privately a fair business has been concluded;

inferior j 285 to 325; Jamaica low to good ord 43s to 545,

ican 33 6d to 39 9d, Silvers 33 2d to 3s 4d, and Teneriffa

be one half deficient of last season.
INDIGO.—Since this day week a brisk home and ex-
port demand has been experienced for East India; several
parcels have also been taken on speculation, and in some
casce a small advance has been obtained on quarterly
sales' rates. The proportion of bought in lots no,v lett
in different brokers' hands is exceedingly small; the only
kind of Indigo which remains comparatively neglected,
