MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of Jan. 6.)

SUGAR.-The British Plantation Market opened on Tues-
day with an animated demand from the refiners and grocers,
and the prices obtained were 6d. a is. above those paid pre-
vious to the holidays, and although the buyers have purchased
with less eagerness during the last two days, the advance has
been fully supported, and there has been a very steady request
for the refining and grocery qualities ; a public sale of 146 hhds.
Barbadoes, which occurred in the early part of the week, went
off briskly at an advance on the former sale of is. a Is. 6d.,
and sold at 655. 6d. a 695. ; by private contract, purchases of
St. Kitt's and St. Vincent's of brownish grey quality have been
made for refining at 575., and Jamaica and Grenada for the
same purpose, raid. at 575. 6d. a 58s. 6d. ; and from other
places for the scale, mid. at 595. a 61s. ; good mid. with
colour, 625. a 635. The importation during the past year has
been 4,777 hhds. and 400 trs. less than during the previous
one ; but owing to the falling off in the deliveries this year
(to the extent of 26,600 hhds. and trs.) the stock is now much
heavier than it was at the close of 1835, and prices 3s. lower.
A public sale of 120 hhds. Barbadoes is advertised for Tues-
day next. There have been no arrivals this week. This
afternoon the Market was extremely quiet, but at easier prices
there are not sellers. The estimated purchases for the week
are 2,400 hhds. and trs.
In Refined goods the grocers have evinced much disposition
to purchase at 80s. for Lumps to pass, and 78s. a 795. for
those rather under the standard, but owing to the quantity of
goods ready for delivery being still scanty, the purchases have
been greatly curtailed ; on the part of the shippers there is
little inclination to buy, but for the small parcels of double
Crushed taken they have been compelled to pay 375. 6d. a
38s. uuder which there are not sellers. The low qualities of
British Treacle have been in brisk request at improved rates.
For Bastards there has been a better demand at prices rather
above those of last week for the ord. qualities. There is still
nothing doing in Dutch Crushed Sugar ; the price at which
it is held is 355.
This afternoon business of any consequence is still pre.
vented, owing to the great scarcity of goods ; double Crushed
is held for 385., and Lumps to pass the standard at 80s.
MAURITIUS.-From the grocers there has been a good re-
quest, and the prices paid have been fully equal to those ob-
tained of late by private contract; at public sale there have
been brought forward 5,878 bags, mostly of good grocery
quality, all of which were disposed of, mid. and very good
yellow at 625. a 655. 6d.,: ord. 60s. a 61s. 6d., low dry
to fine brown 525. a 595., very ord. 445., low grey 565., fine
strong grey 635. 6d. The present prices now range 3s. above
those when the Market was at its lowest point last year, but
they are 7s. a Bs. under those when the prices were at their
highest. The arrivals for the year 1836 have exceeded those
of the previous one by 4,800 bags, but the stock at the close
of the past year is greatly under that of 1835. A public sale
of 5,000 bags is announced for Tuesday next.
EAST INDIA.-The prices of Bengal have advanced a little,
and there has been a good request, principally from the
grocers; at auction 1,179 bags went 325. a 375. 6d. for ord.
to fine white, and 345. 6d. for damps ; a public sale of 1.200
bags is announced for the 10th, besides 6,000 bags of China
for the 17th inst. The importers of. Siam aid Manilla still
continuing to require fully late rates has again prevented busi-

ness. Of Java the Market is still without a supply. Tlie
arrivals of all descriptions have been much less during the p at
year than they were in 1535, but the stock is now much greater
than it was two years back.
This afternoon small parcels of Manilla have been taken by
private contract at 225. a 235., being very full prices.
FOREIGN.—The only transaction has been a public sale of
1,536 boxes white Havannah, which were all disposed of at
and after the sale, ord. at 345., fine mid. and good, 355. a
365.. and fine strong, 365. 6d. a 375. ; in yellow or Brnil
there is still nothing doing, but on easier terms it is impossible
to purchase ; public sales of 2,547 boxes yellow, 2,353 boxes
wbite Havannah, and 270 cases white and 418 cases yellow
Bahia are advertised for the 10th and 17th inst. The stocks
at the close of 1836 greatly exceeded those of the tvt o previ-
ous years. The arrivals from the Havannali during the past
year have been much larger than they were in 1835.
MoLAssEs.—There has been rather more demand for West

India than has been the case of late, and prices rather above
those of last week have been obtained ; 28s. paid for a parcel
of good Demerara, 28s. for good Antiguas, and 31s. for fine
Barbadoes.

CocoA.—There has at length been an improved request for
British Plantation, and a public sale of 89 barrels 130 bags
went off readily at prices ls. a 2s. above those which have
been paid of late by private contract ; Trinidad ord. to mid.
red sold at 50s. a Ms. 6d., Grenada mid. and good bright red
48s. a 51s. In Foreign there have been no purchases.
TEA.—There is nothing to be purchased of good quality
except at an advance of ld. a
RlCE.—Bengal has declined 6d. a Is. ; 3,822 bags at auction
sold at 14s. 6d. a 15s. for ord. to good white.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HoLLANDs.—The transactions in the
Rum Market have been extremely limited, and the importers
have submitted to a reduction of Id. per gallon ; the demand
has been confined to a small parcel of Leewards, 4 per cent.
over at 2s. 7d., and 36 over cloudy as 4s. 3d. Brandy has
has become dull of sale. For Geneva there has been a steady
request, at the prices quoted.
TALLow.—The prices during the last four days have been
steady, and there has been a good demand from the trade for
parcels on the spot, at 445. a 445. 3d. for P. Y. C. of first
quality. The transactions which have taken place for foru ard
delivery have been again extremely trifling, at 445. The last
ailvices from St. Petersburgh, stated the price at 112 roubles
per pood. A parcel of 196 casks Iceland, is advertised for
auction on Friday next.
COTTON.—The purchases 100 Bengal 44d. a4P ; 1,030

Surat 41d. a 6d.; 150 St. Domingo 9d.

ment of the 2,707 chests, declared for sale, valued according
to the last sale prices ; 300 chests fine shippers at 6s. 9d. ;

SALTPETRE.—A steady demand has existed for British Re-
fined this week, at 325. in brls. and 31s. 6d. in hhds. For
Rough there has been little business done by private contract,
but the importers continue to hold for full prices, and 1,535
baskets imported from Alexandria was all taken in, refraction

VIIEAT AND FLOUR IN FRANCE COMPARED

WITH LONDON.

WHEAL—The highest price of the best wheat in Paris is
2-if. per 11 hectolitre, which is equal to 38s. 3d. per English
uarter. The highest price for the best Essex and Kent
.Vheat in London is 70s. per quarter, showing a difference of
31s. 9d., per quarter, or 83 per cent., and that the same
,noney, which in London buys but eight bushels of wheat, will
Paris purchase upwards of fourteen and a quarter bushels
of the finest quality.
FLOUR.—The highest price of flour of the " first mark" in
Paris is 51 francs per 159 kilogrammes, equal to 325. 21-d.
ier English sack of 280 pounds. The highest price for the
Nest town made flour in London is 60s. per sack, the difference
'being 275. 10i-d. per sack dearer in London than in Paris, or
•pwards of 861 francs per cent. ; and
the same money which
is
n London buys 280 pounds of flour, in Paris the price of 523
pounds of the same quality.

Circumstances to which it is unnecessary to advert
have drawn upon Fraser's Magazine of late a more than
ordinary degree of attention, and that periodical has some-
times experienced criticism of a very angry kind, for which
we believe Oliver Yorke when he says, "that he .cares very
little, if anything at all" We are gratified to learn, that
while this periodical has lost none of its old supporters, it
has obtained the assistance of a new set of allies, with whom
the ensuing campaign opens.
Fifty tons of cod fish were sent to market last,week
from the boats of the fishermen of Flamborough, near Brid-
lington.
On Sunday afternoon a most distressing circumstance
took place at Holt Town, on the old reservoir belonging to
the Waterworks Company. Although there had been so
little frost as barely to cover the reservoir with ice, there
was a great concourse of people sliding. They were repeat-
edly warned by persons who were standing on the banks,
and about half-past three o'clock a number of boys and
men began to slide from the bank towards the middle of
the reservoir. When the foremost few of them had got
nearly to the middle the
ice gave way, and four of them
were immersed in the water. It was impossible to render
them any assistance without imminent personal danger One,
however, got out, and another had raised himself as far as.
the middle of his body, when he disappeared instantly,
seemingly pulled back by one of the two who were in the
water. On Monday morning the bodies of the three were
got out of the water, and they proved to be a man n amed
Michael M‘Dermot, and two brothers named Patrick and
John Tiernan.—Manchester Guardian.
THE POTTERIES.—On Friday the meeting of the
manufacturers and men took place at Betley. A. number
of delegates (it is said about 40) from the National Union
were permitted to be present in the character of auditors
only. The manufacturers objected to Mr. Mouslcy and
Mr. Mark Lancaster being present, on account of their
connection with the Board of Management ; and ulti-
mately, at the suggestion of Mr. Twemlow, they withdrew.
The case was then fully gone into; the Magistrates,
iseginr. Toilet and Twemlow, who acted as friendly referees
only, listening most patiently to the statements of the men
and the manufacturers. Several suggestions were throw n
out by the worthy Magistrates, which were favo'irably •re-
cerved by
both parties, and it is believed that the meeting
will lead to an important and happy result. The business
occuPied many hours.—Wolverhampton Chronicle.
THE Court Journal of this day contains an article
of no little attraction to the fashionable world ; it includes
a list of the fair candidates for admission to the tern ple of
"'Men in the year 18371 with some curious speculations
upon causes and consequences.
