MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price Current of last Evening.)
SUGAIL—The market for all descriptions admissible for
home consumption has presented a very dull appearance
this week, and prices have a tendency to recede. For
West India Muscavadoes the demand has been extremely
limited from the grocers, they showing a determination to
keep cut of the market until their necessities compel
them to come forward, and for refining there has been
scarcely any thing doing, perhaps a few boards may
have been sold for that purpose. Some of the importers
have refused to submit to any further reduction in prices,
but so limited have been the transactions that it is difficult
to quote prices accurately ' • the Sugars sold are de-
cidedly 6d lower than on this day week, establishing a
decline from the highest point of the market of is 6d ; on
Tuesday nothing was sold ; on Wednesday the sales were
only 150, and yesterday 200 hhds and trs; some of the
Sugars which were bought on speculation a few weeks back
are making their appearance in the market. The stock is
8,958 hhds and trs larger than last year, while the dif-
ference in the importation of the three first months in the
year is but very trifling ; owing to the adverse winds, no
addition since our last has been made to the reports of the
Custom House.
This afternoon former prices were supported, and there
Ras rather more business doing, the demand was principally
for refining descriptions; the market, however, still wears
a quiet aspect the demand being but partial, the sales for
the week are only 700 hhds and trs.
REFINED. —The home trade have purchased with extreme
caution this week of ordinary as well as of the better descrip-
tions of good, and prices have again given way ls, making
the depression from the highest point of the market 2s per
cwt, lumps equal to the standard, having been sold at 78s,
rather under 76s 6d to 775. and inferior brown 75s 6d to 765.
For shipping there is still no demand for crushed made
from West India Sugar, and the nominalprice is 44s ; that
manufactured from Manila has again been sold at 36s ;
some parcels of 101 b Hamburg loaves have been sold at 48s.
MAURITIUS.—Grocers as well as refiners have pur-
chased with increased caution, and on Tuesday at
public sale only 200 bags, out of 7,029 at public sale
found buyers, the remainder was taken in at prices
above what the trade were inclined to pay, good to fine
yellow at 65s a 675, good mid 63s 6d a 64s 6d, mid
62s 6d a 635; since the sale about 3,000 bags have been
sold 6d under the buying in prices, making the fall from
the highest point of the market 2s a2s 6d. The stock
has increased, and it is now 34,833 bags greater than it was
last year at this period.
The arrivals during the past three months have been
127,000 hags, during the same time last year they were
only 121,300 bags, and in 1837, 119,700 bags.
EAST INDIA—The home trade have purchased cautiously
Bengal, and prices have suffered a depression of is a.
