MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the New London Price Current of last Evening.)
&MAR.-There has been much disposition evinced on the
part of the buyers to purchase West India Muscovades, but
the demand has been checked by the increasing wants of the
importers ; still there has been a very steady business doing
in both refining and grocery descriptions, but more particularly
in the latter, and the purchases since last Tuesday have been
1,900 hhds. and trs. at 6d. advance on former rates ; dry
brown is not to be purchased now under 583. a 593. 6d., low
and mid. yellow 603. 6d a 633. 6d., good 645. a 655., and fine
66i. a 695., even at which rates several of the importers are
unwilling sellers ; and when it is considered that the stock is
13,751 hhds. and trs. less than on the 7th November, 1836,
and nearly to the same extent when compared to the year be-
fore, and that the importation to the same period differs from
last year by 8,100 casks, but from the year 1835 to a much
larger amount, and that the consumption this year has exceeded
that of last by 14,900 casks (to this is added the considerable
deficiency which is known to exist in the stocks at t-he out-
ports), it cannot be matter of surprise that our market is still
in a buoyant state.
The Market to-day was very scantily supplied, and the as-
sortment indifferent ; there was an increased disposition evinced
on the part of the buyers to purchase, particularly the grocers,
although higher prices than those obtained on Friday were de-
manded by the importers, and the demand was very good for
both brown and yellow descriptions, and an advance on the
rates of this day week of ls. has been established ; the private
purchases amount to 1,000 hhds. and trs., in addition to which
a public sale of 122 hhds. Barbadoes, a very good parcel, went
off with much animation, particularly the fine descriptions, at
prices Is. above those of the previous sale, fine sold at 68s.
6d. to 695., good 665. to 675. 6d., mid. 645. 6d. to 655. 6d.
The stock of West India Sugar is now 26,134 hhds. and
trs., being 13,754 less than last year. The stock of Mauri-
tius is now 49,853 bags, which is 15,375 more than last year
(including the East India Dock.) The delivery of West
India last week was 2,526 Ishcls. and trs., which is 462 snore
than last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 4,211 bags,
being 2,621 more than the corresponding week of last year,
( including the East India Dock.)
Refined goods are still on the advance, and are likely to con-
tinue so while, the raw material improves in value ; the Market
has again been extremely lively ; goods are exceedingly
scarce, particularly those passing the standard ; the grocers
have purchased with much eagerness of both ordinary and
good descriptions at is. advance, paying 78s. for Lumps
passing, and 775. to 775. 6d. for those rather under the
standard ; from the shippers the inquiries have been consi•
derable, but the scanty supply of goods ready for immediate
delivery has much checked the demand ; double crushed has
been sold at 6d. advance; sales made at 365. 6d. to 375.
Treacle has been taken freely at Is. to 2s. advance on former
prices. Bastards and Pieces have been in active demand at
improved prices ; the lowest quotation of the former is 545.
For Dutch Crused Sugar 335. 6d. must be paid.
MAURITIUS.-There has been a very active demand pri-
vately principally from the grocers and chiefly for the good
yellow description, at fully the prices established on Tuesday
last ; and 8,500 bags at auction, chiefly a superior bright
'grocery parcel, went with much animation at full market rates,
or Is. to Is. 6d. above the price established at the last public
sale; good grey sold at 645., ord. brown 524., mid. to fine at
575. 6d. to 603. 6d., mid. to good mid. yellow 61s. 6d. to
635. ; good to fine 645. 6d to 65s 61, very fine 675. to 635.,
superior white 695. 6d., which prices are above those of West
India. 24 000 bags more have been imported this year than
fait, and the stock now exceeds that of 1836 by 15,375 bags.
This afternoon the grocers were again eager buyers, and 1,646
bags at public sale sold with much spirit at Is. 6d. advance on
the prices of the previous sale, good yellow went at 635. to
655., mid. 61s. 6d. to 625., ord. 60s. 6d. to 615., good brown
583. to 60s. per cwt.
EAST INDIA. -Of Bengal there has been no public sale,
the demand privately from the grocers has been very bi isk for
those subject to the 245. duty, and an advance on previous'
prices of is has been established. Fur shipping there is still
nothing doing. The arrivals this year have been 25,000 bags
greater than last, the stock is 6,700 bags less than in 1836.
The supply of Manilla being very short, and stiffer prices re-
quired has much checked the demand, and the private pur-
chases have been very limited, only 517 bags have been offered
at auction, which sold at 19s. 6d. for fine brown. Siam is
scarce, and advanced rates being demanded; there has been
nothing doing privately ; 180 casks at public sale went at 12s.
6d. to 15s. for very inferior soft dabs.
FOREIGN.-Yellow Havannah and brown Brazil have been
much sought after at previous prices, but business has been
checked by the light stock, of the former the private transac-
tions are 200 boxes at 275. to 28s. for good and fine, and a
floating cargo of 670 boxes at 28s. deliverable at Antwerp,
besides 43 boxes damaged at auction, which went at 253. to
263. for good, in the latter no purcha,ws are reported. For
white Havannah or Brazil there are still very few orders here,
and nothing has been done privately, but the stock being small,
holders continue to require fully the prices demanded of late;
at auction 376 boxes of the former all damaged went at 325.
to 365., ordinary to good.. The stock of all kinds is now
much less than it was last year, of Brazil there is a falling off
in the importation this season as compared with that of last,
of full half, but of Havannah 3,000 boxes more have been re.
ceived. _
