MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.-The scarcity of good Sugar was very apparent
in the Market last week; the buyers attended where Clic
new imports were expected to show, and they were im-
mediately purchased at full market prices ; the Sugars
above 50s. were in many instances Is. per cwt. higher;
the estimated sales last week were 2,300 hhds. and trs.
The stock of Muscovades is now 10,433 hhds. and trs.,
being 3,584 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is 74,933 bags, being 10,922 more than in 1829. The
delivery of West India Sugar last week was 2,677 Mids.
and trs., being six less than last year. The delivery of
Mauritius is 10,961 bags, being 8,252 more than in 1829.
There were again small supplies of Muscovades brought to
market this morning ; they were eagerly watched by the
buyers, and offers at very full prices were made. At the
close of the day the estimated sales were 700 hdds. and
trs., the trade still wanting new Sugars, and the buyers
holding off as much as possible on account of the expected
arrivals, and also that above 16,000 bags Mauritius are
advertised for public sale this week. The supplies of Re-
fined goods lately have been quite inadequate to the de-
mand ; the prices are more firm, but there is no marked
alteration on account of the scarcity of goods; the pur-
chases are not on an extensive scale. Molasses higher.
The buyers of Refined to-day are obliged to give a small
advance on account of the scarcity of goods : the Lumps
and low Loaves 745. a 77e. are particularly in request;
considerable sales for the Double Refined Bounty are re-
ported, and the low Lumps to be ready for the next two
weeks are nearly all contracted for.

FOREIGN SUGARS.--.There were no purchases by private
contract last week. By public s ale this day 3,127 chests
Havannah Sugar, all white, and chiefly mid. quality, good
to fine white 40s. a 435. 6d., mid. 365. a 395., low
31s. 6d. a 355., chiefly sold. Also 449 chests 36 half 4
boxes, and 15 brls. Brazil Sugar, white 24.. 6.1. a 34,.,
yellow 18s. a 235. 6t1., brown 159. a 175., chiefly taken
in. Since the sale a good proportion of the Sugars have
been disposed of at sale prices.
EAST Lima SUGAR.-The Bengal Sugars were in-
quired after last week ; an advance of ls. was generally
obtained. The Siam Sugars sold at. full prices. About
10,000 bags Mauritius sold at Market prices ; they went
off freely, brown 435. Cad. a 445. 6d. By public sale this
forenoon 395 bags Mauritius, mid. to good yellow 465. a
508. ; the quantity advertised fur this week is about
16,000 bags.
COFFEE.—There is little alteration in Coffee ; the ad-
vance of 2s. per cwt. on coloury descriptions is main-
tained ; 700 bags old good ord. St. Domingo sold at
3i K. 6d. The public sales of Jamaica, Demerara, and
Berbice went off rather heavily, but without variation in
prices. There were no public sales of Coffee this fore-
noon, except 10 hhds. Demerara. The Market continues
firm, but there is no briskness; the buyers wait the new
expected supplies.
Rime. BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The Government
contract fur 100,000 gallons Rum was taken last week at
a fraction above Is. 10d.; we believe Is. 10id. consi-
dered a fair price, but the contract has rather an unfa-
vourable effect on the market ; there has been no sales of
any.extent. The question of the Is. additional duty on
Rum has not yet been settled; we lately alluded to tire
necessity of the West India proprietors making exertions to
counteract the efforts of the Distillers and the landed inte-
rest ; two pamphlets in support of the West India interest
have already appeared. In Brandy or Geneva there is no
alteration.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TA LLOW. —The Tallow market is
rather more firm ; the quantity expected from Odessa is
not so extensive ns generally anticipated. Hemp conti-
nues heavy. In Flax there is no alteration.
IRISH PROVISIONS.-In Beef and Pork there is no
alteration. Bacon is steady. Butters are very scarce ;
not a week's consumption left ; for Newry 985., and for
Cork 100 s. asked.

York Pettit Ashes, Ist 39.. a 40s. ; 340 brls. Canada
Pot, 355. 6d. a 36e.; 103 brls. Canada Pearls, Ist, 405.
a 40s. 6d.

Tonacco.—.Tobacco continues neglected. Last week

By public sale this forenoon 67 Mids. Richmond stemmed,

SALTPETAIL-The market is firm.

withdrawn.

Nmeo.—This day inclusive, there have been 4,826
chests passed the India House sale ; the demand and the
prices continued very steady all last week. The sales at
first consisted of 3.332 chests Bengal, 1,096 Madras, 481
Conde, IS Manilla, 36 Trash ; total, 4,963. This after-
noon there remains such a small quantity that the sale may
be deemed to he closed. The sale went off heavily ; the
Madras is from last sale's prices to 6d. lower ; a great pro-
portion of the Bengal was ord. and mid. descriptions, and
are 3d. to 6d. under last sale, the fine 3d. to 6d. higher ;
about one-third of the Oude has been taken in, and gene-
rally the sale is heavy.

FRUIT.-In our last Tuesday's publication the report of
300 brls. Smyrna Fruit shared should have been black
Fruit, divided among the trade at 30s. ; an inferior par-
cel of Red at 345. ; fine Elemi are taken off in small
parcels at 425. There are sellers of Currants at 675.
There appears to be considerable orders for Fruit for ex-
port, but limited to very low prices.

duce Si. Quantity of fine Copper, 239 tons 13 cwt.
