MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of Jan. 13.)
SUGAR.—The transactions in the British Plantation Market
for the scale as well as for refining have been to a very limited
extent this week, and the importers have generally submitted
to a reduction of 6d. to is. ; Demerara of good brown quality
has been sold at 565. 6d. ;Tobago mid yellow, 58s. ; Grenada,
St. Vincents, and Jamaica middling and good mid. 595.
to 625. Antigua and Jamaica of fine quality, with
colour, 635. to 655. ,• a parcel of 127 hhds. Barbadoes
at auction went off without spirit, but the prices obtained were
considered equal to those of the last sale, and they sold at
645. to 68s. 6d. There continue to be no arrivals, and the stock
is on the decrease ; fine descriptions are getting rather scarce.
The deliveries last week were more than in the corresponding
one of last year. No return has at present been received of
the average Gazette price. There is a public sale of 120
hhds. Barbadoes advertised for next week. This afternoon
the Market was in a very languid state, the grocers and refiners
both being, except iu a few instances, out of the Market, and

the limited quantity disposed of, which did not exceed 300
hhds., was at a further decline of 6d., making the fall this
week Is. a Is. 6d., and only 1,700 hhds and trs. disposed of.
The Refined Sugar trade has been very quiet this week,
and although there continues to be but a limited quantity of
goods ready for delivery, the refiners have submitted to a re-
duction on former rates of Is. ; the grocers have purchased
sparingly, barely sufficient to meet their immediate neces-
sities, at 78s. for Lumps to pass and 775. for those rather un-
der the standard ; the transactions for shipping have been con-
fined to a few small parcels of fine Crushed at 375. Treacle
has sold steadily at fully late prices, and the Market is now
very bare. For Bastards there has been a fair request at the
quotations. In Dutch Crushed the purchases have been 100
hhds. deliverable in March next at 345. 6d., at which price
there are further parcels offering.
This afternoon small sales of double Crushed have been
made for delivery at 375. ; on the spot there has been scarcely
any thing done, and at that price there are generally sellers ;
from the grocers there continues to be little request, and the
prices remain the same as previously quoted.
MAURITIUS.—The buyers have purchased sparingly by pri-
vate contract, and 5.114 bags of the new crop, a good grocery
parcel at public sale went off without spirit at and after the
sale at a reduction on last week's prices of 6d. to Is., mid.
to fine yellow sold at 60s. to 645., ord. 535., good grey 61s. to
61s. 6d., good brown 525. There has been an arrival of 4,112
bags.

'This afternoon a small public sale of 320 bags went off
heavily at prices similar to those previously quoted, very ord.
brown at 395. 6d. to 40s. 6d., low 50s. 6d. to 525., mid. and
good brown 555. to 575. 6d.

EAST INDIA—Good mid. yellow went at 31s. to 325. 6d.,
damps 30s. 6d. to 315., washed 295., ord. white 28s. to 31s. 6d.,
good fair 345. 6d. to 355., fine 365. to 375., a few lots of very
superior 375. 6d. to 405., damps 30s. 6d. to 355., washed 255.
to 275. 6d., ord. soft brown was taken in at 21s. ; in chests
very low brown went at 15s. to 17s. 6d., ord. greyish white
275. to 295. 6d.

This afternoon shippers and grocers continue to purchase
sparingly, and the large parcels offered at public sales, amount-
ing to 1,805 bags, went off heavily, and not above half of
which found buyers at ls. to Is. 6d. decline, fine white at 335.
to 355., mid. and good 31s. 6d. to 325. 6d., ord. 30s. 6d. to
315., damps 325. 6d. to 335. 6d., low 30s.
FOREIGN.-The attention of the buyers of white Havannah
being directed to the public sale of 3,800 chests, which takes
place on the 17th inst., nothing has been done by private con-
tract ; the request for brown and yellow has been confined to.
a public sale of 1,253 boxes, nearly all of which found buyers.,
but at Is. to Is. 6d. reduction on late prices, good yello w
went at 275. 6d. to 285., mid. and good mid. with strength
265. to 275., washed 235. 6d., good brown rather soft 255. In
Brazil no transactions have taken place, but the holders aro
averse to submit to lower prices.

rates, and the Market is very bare of supply ; sales of mid. De-
merara made at 275. 6d.

CGCOA.—Grenada good grey at 495. to 525. ; a few lots of
Trinidad sold at 50s. a 525. for good grey, sea damaged 465.

at 545. 6d., fair 505., ord. 495. 6d.

RICE.—The East India Market continues in adull state; in
the prices of Bengal no further change has taken place, but
Java has given way Is. Out of 8,238 bags offered at public
sale hardly FOO bags were disposed of at 10s. for fair mid.
rather dusty, the remainder was taken in at I Is. a lls. 6d.

place; there has been a good request for parcels on the spot
at 445. 6d. to 445. 9d. for P. Y. C., but for delivery there
continues to be scarcely any thing doing.

Bengal 4V., 400 Surat 4/d. to 5d.. 300 Madras 6d. to 7/d.

90s. Of Streights considerable parcels have been taken on
speculation by a French house, to the extent of 8,000 slabs,
and there are now no sellers under 80s. For Spelter on the
spot there has been a steady request at 181. For English Iron
and Lead there has been rather more demand, and prices have
a tendency to advance, the make of the former article haying
much fallen off. For a parcel of new Russian Sable 131. 10s.
has been paid. English and South American Copper sells
slowly. In other articles no alteration, and but little business
doing.
