MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of March 29.)
Soon a•—The animation produced in the sugar market
by the alleged unfavourable advices from the West Indies,
has now entirely subsided. The market for West India
Muscovadoes has presented a very dull appearance this
week; on Tuesday the sales were only 150, and o❑ Wed-
nesday and yesterday 200 hhds, &c. A board of fine Ja-
maica has been sold at 71s per cwt. The deliveries last
week were 135 hhds, &c., more than in 1838 during the
same period. The stock, when compared with that of last
year, shows an increase of 5,046 hhds and tierces : the arri-
vals since this day week have been 1,022 hhds. and tierces.
There will be no market until Wednesday.
REFINED.--.The grocers have purchased sparingly of re-
fined goods, and in some instances rather lower prices
have been submitted to, but the reduction is not sufficient
for us to alter our quotations. For shipping nothing has
been done in British crushed, 365. has been paid for crushed
made from Manilla. Treacle has sold steadily at former
rates. Pieces and Bastards have been in less demand, and
prices are rather lower. Dutch crushed Sugar is held for
35s 6d, but there has been less business doing.

MAußtri grocers have come forward less freely;
from the refiners there has also been less demand, and im-
porters have supplied the market freely, prices have given
way ls. and in some instances is 6d, for Sugar above 645.
At public sale 10,900 bags found buyers; fine yellow at
66s a 675, mid to good mid 63s st 65s 6d, good to fine dry

in 1838. At auction yesterday 1,474 bags sold heavily at
previous rates, low to good yellow. 63s to 65s Cd. per cwt.
EAST INDlA.—There has been less demand for Bengal
for home consumption, but importers having supplied the
Market sparingly, previous rates have generally been sup-
ported, in some instances a reduction of 6d has been sub-
mitted to; at auction 705 bags white sold at 66s a 67s for
good middling to good, and 65s 6d a 66s for damps and
washed. The operations in Siam have been to a fair ex-
tent at the advanced rates of this day week. At public
sale yesterday, 1,021 bags Bengal met a dull sale, good
white sold at 66s a 675, middling gray 63s a 64s Gd per
