MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

Slit:JAlL—The estimated sales this week are 2,200
Ude. and tierces, which, considering the large sales of
Mauritius, and the small show of West India Sugars in
this market, is a large sale. Several brokers have no
Muscovades on sale. We think the market rather higher,
and the holders more firm. In refined there has been rather
more business, particularly for export. The demand for
the low and middling descriptions of shipping qualities has
increased in the Refined Market this afternoon, and, as
the market continues to be but scantily supplied with these
descriptions of goods, some difficulty has been experienced
in executing orders to any extent for immediate delivery,
more particularly in middling sorts. The refiners also
have been very firm in their demand, and, in many in-
stances, have obtained a trifling advance ; in the finer de-
scriptions for shipping, say Hamburg and Powder Loaves,
there has also been a little business done, and the quota-
tions remain the same as last week. In crashed, also,
there has been some business done, but the scarcity of the
middling descriptions of lumps and loaves prevents any
large sales from being made. Molasses dull and lower.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—There have been inquiries after
Foreign sugars, but few purchases are reported ; by pri-
vate contract a small parcel of white greyish Bahia at 255.,
and damaged white Pernams, 16s. a 275. This day, by
public sale, 122 chests Havannah, 224 chests Brasil Sugar,
the former, middling to fine white, was taken in 40s. a
445., the latter, good to fine white, 30s. a 355. ; only a
part of the damaged sold.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.—This week about 20,000 bags
Mauritius Sugars have been brought forward at public
sale ; early in the week they have gone off steadily, but
without briskness ; the quantity to• day (included in the
above) was 6,400 bags, chiefly of good quality ; the whole
sold with Lr skness, 465. a 545., being at full market prices.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—A parcel of Demerara Mo-
lasses has been sold, 20s. and 20s. 6d.

COFFEE.-The Coffee Market has been very dull; all
the prices are Is. a 2s. lower ; for good ord. old St. Do-
mingo 31s. was only offered, the parcel was taken in at
325. ; Batavia, 31s. 6d. ; some good Mocha sold at high
prices, 104.5. a 105 s. We cannot quote any reduction in
the prices of good and fine British Plantation Coffee, but
the market is very heavy, and the lower qualities at a re-
duction of Is. a 2s. This day, at public sale, 1,072
bags Mysore, 35 bags Mocha, 149 bags Brazil, and 42
casks 511 bags British Plantation description ; the My-
sore about a half sold 465. a 50s. 6d. ; Mocha sold at 90s. :
the Brazil was damaged, slightly coloury sold at 3]s. ; the
British Plantation sold at former prices, the good and tine
rather higher.
INDIGO.—The quantity declared for the East India sale
is now nearly 4,000 chests; there is no alteration in the
prices.
CorroN.—The late advance in prices is fully main-
tained. The purchases for the week ending last night, in-
clusive, consist of 180 Bengal, 4d. a 4 d. ; 1,700 Surat,
aid. a 51d. ; 70 Bowed, bad. The letters from the ma-
nufacturing districts are still very favourable.
(ANOTHER ACCOUNT.)

SUGAR.-The demand for British Plantation Sugars,
particularly refining qualities, has been rather active this
week, and full prices readily obtained. Good Grocery
sorts are also quickly bought up, and the total sales in the
week ending this morning are full 2,500 hhds. The pre-
sent stock is 6,070 hhds. and 530 trcs. more than in the
corresponding week of last year. Yellow Havannah
Sugars are inquired after, but prices are not higher. Good
White are rather under 475. The present stock of Foreign
Sugars consists of 11,522 chests of Havannah, 1,410
chests of Brazil, and 154 Mids. of Porto Rico. Of the
12,500 bagS of Mauritius offered within the last four or
five dayS, the shippers have bought pretty largely at a re-
duction of Is. per cwt. Good and fine. Brown is quoted
455. to 475. per cwt. The total importation this year is
130,512 bags, and the stock now is 74,870 bags.
Manilla Sugars are in demand, at ls. per cwt. advance.
In Refined Goods not much is doing, the holders asking
rather better prices. There are a few purchasers i❑ the
market for the Hamburg and Mediterranean markets.
SPICES.-The Spice Market is generally in a healthy
state. About 200 bags of Black Pepper, publicly sold,
realised 3ad. to 3 d., being id. advance, and went off
briskly. About 120 bags of White Pepper, fetched from
bid. to 7-id. per lb., being one penny per lb. advance.
Cassia Lignea is from 665. to 68s. per cwt., and in demand.
Roar.—The demand for Rum has in sense degree sub-
sided, but prices are firm. Proof Lewards are held at
Is. 10d. The present stock of Runs is about 5,000
puncheons and '7OO hogsheads greater than in the cor-
responding week of last year.
' The DRUG market was perhaps never known to be in
so dull a state as at the present moment.

The dealing! in Russia TALLOW are limited, and the
price is from 345. to 345. 3d. per cwt.-11E3n. is 01.,
and FLAX, P.T.R., at 351. 10s. per ton.
