MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Lowbin New Price Current, Jan. 2,
SUGAIL—Tbe impuriation from the West Indies
during the pet }ear was larger than in the preceding
one by 13,600 tons; and the fishing off in deliveries for
home consumption reaehe.d 7,609; and at the close of
1851 there was a larger stock than in 1850 by 12,500
tons, and prices ruled lower for brown and inferior
yellow by 73 to Bs, and for better sorts 4s
to 5s per cwt. The low rates are ex-
pected to cause a brisk demand shortly bosh for
grocery and refining purposes; merchants are also
likely to supply the market less freely, as the profits
they are obtaining are smaller than for some years,
therefore there is no inducement to extend cultivation.
The impression is that consumption will be larger this
than in the preceding year, and that rates will be more
remunerating to importers. As the chief port daty has
been paid upon 5,806,200 cwt of all descriptions of Sugar,
and in 11150 it was 5 S3B 600 cwt. The present value
of low to 6ne brown‘ is from 2.8 s to 30s 6d yellow
ditto 319 to 39% and refining qualities 29s to '345 per
cwt. The stunited Kiugoack of all kinds ut Sager in bond in the
of 1850. The is 50,000 tone more than at the close

are at present little wanted, but no decline has taken
place, a less amount being on offer; sales have been made
at from 234 to 28s. A good demand exists for Pieces,
and prices are firm, low so mid selling at 303 to 355, and
good to fine 36s to 40s. In Treacle many purchases
have been made, and supply shows a little diminution;
boiled from West India Molasses realiz2s 115 to 12s,
Patent 12s to 13s, and Golden Syrup 145 to 15s.
Prices have ceased to decline for Crushed Sugar:
at present, however, exporters are reluctant to operate,
but production is not on the increase, as refiners are ob-
taining small profits; the value of British is 26s 6d to
275; Dutch, low to mid 22s to 245; better descriptions
24s 61 to 275; and Belgian 24s to 255. Treacle for
shipping contlnuet to attract little attention, and can
bo obtained at 123 6d to 133 6d. Pieces sales
are small at 24s to 255, and Bustards 19s to
21 s. Previous terms aro demanded for Loaves,
and supply is me 'crate, but only small ex-
p sr: orders have been executed. The value of Turkey
1 to 5i lbs is 40s to 455; Ilambro 6 to 15 ditto 30s to
31s 6d; Tittlers 23 to 30 ditto 28s 6d to 295; Prussian
40 to 45 ditto 283; Belgian made Loaves 10 itto 275 6d
to 28s; and Dutch 6to 10 lbs 29s 6d to 31s per cwt.
An increase in the demandis, however, expected to take
Place quickly.
