MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, April 8.)
SUGAR.—To-day the demand was large for West India
from home dealers, and full rates were paid for both
grocery and refining qualities. Operations were were
583, making for the week 1,193 hhda and tierces. The
market for both Colonial and Foreign Sugar closes with
a firm aspect. _ _ _

REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with ready
buyers for home consumption, and the market closed
firm; low to fine grocery lumps 44s 6d to 48s 6d. Se-
veral parcels of Crushed were taken by shippers at
former rates.
MAURITIUS —This afternoon a public sale of 2,059
begs Mauritius went r,ff freely at fully former rates;
good to fine brown at 27s to 295, low to good yellow 29s
6d to 345, and superior 35s 6d.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon of Bengal or Madras
there was no public sale, yet privately several parcels
were sold at full rates.
FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar was much inquired
after, but an advance being demanded much interfered
with business for shipping. At auctio❑ 13,270 bags
Nlanilla, duty paid, were taken in above the value, good
clayed greyish at 32e 6d to 335, washed 32s to 32, 6d;
there were buyers of the sound at 325. Of Babia 120
packages sold, ord and mid soft yellow at 30s to 31s,
brown 288 to 295, ord and mid greyish 31s 6d to 32s 6d
per cwt.
MOLASSES.—West India continues to be wanted at the
previous value, yet the supply remains scanty; prices
rule at 138 to 14s for Antigua and Barbadoes, 12s to
12s 6d for other sorts. For limited parcels of Cuba and
Porto the rates paid are 13s to 13s 6d. Bengal and
Mauritius wanted at Ils 6d, and supply is trifling.
Prices are advancing for Honey, Jama'ca selling at 40s
to 48s, good to fine ditto 50s to 58s. In Tamarinds se-
veral sales have been made at 24s to 34s for West India,
and at 8s to 12s for East India.

COME.-To-day rather lower rates being submitted
to for Native Ceylon occasioned a better demand to pre-
vail, and at auction 1,079 bags were all sold, real good
ord at 39s to 38s 64, damaged 353 6d to 37s 6d, and one
lot superior sound 39s 61. For Plantation Ceylon there
is yet a quiet market, still offers of loser terms were re
jtcted to-day. At public sale 309 casks, 2,651 bags were
Oaken in, good to fine marks at 56s to 635, and triage 38s
to 425. Ot West India 22 casks found buyers, firm and
good ord Jamaica at 403 to 425, low raid and mid Dsmi-
nice 503 to 523. For all other sorts of Coffee there is a
quiet market.
Cocos,-Therm is still a reluctance to operate, and
prices evidently tend downwards, flee red Trinidad
b,ing offered at 39s to 41s, good 36s to 38s, low to mid
333 to 355. grey 30s to 335; and Grenada from 28s to
34e. For Foreign the market has a dull aspect; Bahia
and Para can be obtained at the low terms of 23s ad to
25e, and Guayaquil 281 to 29s per cwt.
TEA,-The amount of business concluded in Congou
has been small, and there are tree sellers at previous
terms; supply is plentiful of ord and mid sorts. Fur
low the rates taken are 7d, good ord and sound 7i-cl to
84, rather blackish lent to blackish leaf 81,d to 100, fine
and Pekoe kinds Ild to Is sd; rather under thewe rates
there are several buyers both for home trade purposes
and shipping. Oolong continues to attract little notice;
sellers are willing to accept lld to is 3d for good to fine,
and low to mid 8d to 10d. Souchong is easily obtained
at previous low terms, yet a good demand prevails; flue
at is 24 to Is 7d; other sorts 8d to is dd. Peuchong
is wanted at 4rl to 6cl; few parcels aro still in the mar-
ket. Scent,d Orange Pekoe met with a dull sale; good
to fine is offered at is Id to, Is 7d, and low to mid 91 to
Is, the lower sorts being the most neglected. Several
parcels of flowery Pekoe have been sold at the late re-
duction; the value of ord to good is is to is 63, fine and
choice is 8d to 2s Id. 01 green the
quantity on offer
tar exceeds dealers' wants, and there are free sellers at
last week's valuations. Operations have been upon a
small scale, especially medium, with little prospect of
fatly improvement taking place at present. The value of
Hyson, low to mid quality is is to la 3,1, good to flue
is 4o to 23, superior 2s 2d to 2s Bd, common Young
Hyson 94 to lid, mid to good is to is 6,1, fine is 7d to
2s 2d; Gunpowder, Canton 8d to lld; Hyson kind, low

perial, Canton 94 to l Id, and Hyson kind from Is to
2s per lb.
Reee.-Opinion is still unfavourable towards East
India, and the rates submitted to have been rather under
those of last week. Only small purchases have been
made by shippers or home dealers, although good to fine
white Beng'd can be obtained at 9s 94 to 101 61, mid to
good mid 9s to 9s 6d, broken 8s 6d to 8s 9d, cargo Bs,

white Java 9s to lls 6d, Moulmein 9s 6d to 103, pearl
barley and Arracan 8s 64 to 9s per cwt. For arrival
further parcels of Bengal have been sold, the particulars
of which are not allowed to transpire. Town dressed
Carolina is dull of sale at 21s to 275, Patna from lis to
16s. and a reduction is quickly expected. Few buyers
of Sago are now to be met with; small pearl is offered
from 15s to 17s, and large ditto 218 to 235. Sago Flour
is wanted at 14s, and is in small supply. For Arrowroot
demand is better; Bermuda at is to Is 28, St. Vincent's
3id to 7d, Brasil and East India lid to 20. In Tapioca
little is doing; Rio at 244 to 44d, Bahia and l'ara lid
to 2,0 per lb.
SPICEC.-OF Cassia Lignea supply is not adequate for
the demand; prices are firm, ruling from 112 to 123 for
low to fine quality. The market is without a supply of
Cassia Buds, there are buyers at stiff rates. Some par-
cels Cassia Vera have been sold at 50s to 60s, and the
quantity here is small. Cinnamon finds a more ready
sale, the lower kinds especially; yet no advance has
been produced. The value of first sort Ceylon is from
is 10d to 3s, and second ditto is 4d to 2s 3d; third and
tourth is ld to is Bd. Cloves remain in fair demand,
rates and range too firm; Amboyna, 7d to 8d; Penang,
lldto Is 2d; African and Bourbon, 6d to 6/d. A fair
business concluded in Mace, and previous terms
are well sustained, few parcels being in the mar-
ket. Sales of first sort made at 2s 4d to 2s
6d; second ditto, 2s ld to 2s 3d; and inferior,
Is lid to 2s. Nutmegs are held with firmness
and remain in good demand, the supply is also small.
Sales privately of low to mid brown made at la lod to
2s 7d, better sorts 2s 8d to 3s, and fine 3s 2d to 33 7d;
the value of fine sound limed is from is 7d to 2s 2d; bat
at auction 40 casks were nearly all taken in. Pepper is
in good demand both for shipping and home trade pur-
poses, supply being small, rates continue to rule higher,
