MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of last Evening.)
SIJOAR.-The transactions in the British Plantation Raw
Market have been on a more limited scale 'during the past
than in the previous week ; still there has been a steady busi-
ness doing in both refining and grocery descriptions ; the pur-
chases have amounted to 1,900 hhds. and Ira. since last Tues-
day, and the prices established on that day have been fully
supported ; Berbice of ord. brown quality has been sold at
565. to 575., which may be considered as the lowest point
of the Market for that description ; Demerara and Tri-
nidad fine have fetched 575. 6d. to 58s. ; St. Kitts, Ja-
maica, and St. Vincents low to mid. yelow at 595. to
615., good 625. to 645.; fine 655. to 665., and fine chrys-
talized Demerara at 703., at which rates several of the impor-
ters are not inclined to sell ; the difference in the comparative
stocks, both hero and at all 'the leading country markets,
the increasing deliveries for consumption, and the improving
state of the Refined trade, give holders more confidence, and
cause them to expect that shortly a further advance in prices
will take place ; the deficiency in the stock is now rather less
than it was on Tuesday last, the landings at the Docks during
the past week having been greater than at the corresponding
period of last year by 950 hhds. and trs. ; prices arc now 7s.
to Bs. for brown, ss. to 7s. for low and mid. yellow, and 4s.
for good and fine, lower than they were on the 25th of Octo-
ber, 1836.
This afternoon there was only a limited business doing in
either grocery or refining descriptions, which is chiefly attri-
buted to the unfavourable state of the weather, but few buyers
appearing in the market ; fully previous prices are obtained
for the 500 hhds. and trs. which changed hands privately. At
public sale 121 hhds. Barbadoes went readily, fully supporting
previous rates for middling and good ; fine sold at rather
higher prices; middling and good Yellow went at 625. 6d. to
655. 6d., and fine 665. to 675. per cwt.
The stock of West India Sugar is now 30,322 hhds. and
trs., being 12,627 less than last year. The stock of Mauri-
tius is now 58,170 bags which is 19,922 more than last year
(including the East India Dock.) The delivery of West In-
dia last week was 2,796 hhds. and trs., which is 721 more
than last yeafi The delivery of Mauritius was 6,825 bags,
being 4,411 more than the corresponding week of last year,
(including the East India Dock.)
Refined goods. have been much enquired after both by
grocers and shippers, and an advance on rrevious rates of ls.
has been again established, but the demand has been rather
checked by the limited supply at Market; Lumps for the scale
have been taken, readily at 7,65. for those rather under at 775.
for those passing the standard ; several sales of double Crushed
made at 355. Cid. a 365., and very little can be purchased for
immediate delivery at the former price ; large and small Lumps
have improved in value; Bastards have been taken freely at
advanced rates. Pieces have also sold readily, and the supply
of both has become short. Treacle has sold with spirit at
higher prices. Dutch Crushed Sugar is held for 335. ; 325.
has been freely offered and refused.
Mauerrius.-The Market continues to present a healthy
appearance ; there has been a good demand by private con-
trace at 6d. to Is. on previous prices; none has been brought
to public sale, and nothing is advertised; still without ar-
rivals; the stock in first hands consists chiefly of mid. and
good yellow qualities suitable for the scale ; prices arc still ,
rather under those of West India.
Foemens.-Thic transactions have been very limited in both
Ilavannah and Brazil, but in the prices no variation has taken
place, the Market being still scantily supplied ; the demand
for white descriptions of the former has b een confined to some
1 parcels at 383. for mid. quality ; yellows have not been asked
I for; the enquiries for Brazil have much abated, 197 chests at
auction were principally taken in at 255. to 31s. 6d. for low to
good white Rio, 255. for good yellow, and 20s. ed. to 21s. for
fine brown, a few lots sold at 17s. for mid. brown, 15s. 6d. to
19s. for washed, and 265. for mid. white.
Mot.asses.-Prices of West India continue on the ad-
vance ; there has been a brisk demand by private contract at
6d. to Is. advance on former rates, fine Dominica and St.
Vincent's selling at 345. 6d., mid thin 335. 6d., and 160
puns. Berbice at auction sold readily, fully supporting the im-
provement, and went at 335. to 345. for bright but very thin
quality ; the supply is still short, the arrivals having been
limited since our last.
The total deliveries of West India Molasses from the ware-
houses for home use for the week ending the 21st of October
were 3,479 cwt.
EAST INDIA.--The demand for East India has been exclu-
sively confined to Bengal at the 245. duty for home consump-
tion, which has been in good demand privately at 63. to is.
above previous rates, and 1,700 bar,,, at auction duty paid
sold with spirit, fully supporting the advance,b fine white went
at 675. 6d, to 705., good 665. to66s. 6d., mid. 655. to 655. 6d.,

damps 645. to 6os. ; 1,100 bags are advertised tor publ'c sale

not inclined to submit to lower prices, and of
