MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Feb. 24.)

of both grocers and refiners to operate in West India
Sugar, yet bettor qualities of yellow and grey were not
offered under Friday's rates, but a slight reduction was
submitted to for inferior and brown, of which
large parcels were on offar. A public sale of
188 hogsheads and 2 tierces.Barbadoes went off quietly:

Lugar Irtm Works were blown out on. Tuesday, and we
understand that the three at present is blast at Clyde will
cease working in about three weeks. It is also stated that
four furnaces belonging to the Shetts Iron Company will
also be extinguished in a short time. If so the outpet of

will have some effect upon the present large and increasing
