MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of August 9.)
SUGAR.—In the West India Sugar market there has
been less activity this week, the demand has become limited
for refining descriptions. Although the town as well as
our country trade holds very small stocks of Sugar, still
they are not inclined to take more than sufficient to supply
their immediate wants; at public sale, 120 hhds. Barba-
does sold at previous rates ; fine brought 68s. to 695, good
67s to 68s, low middling to middling 65s 6d to 66s 6d per
cwt. The stock has further decreased, and it is now
2,153 hhds and tierces less than at this period in 1838.
This afternoon 110 hhds Barbadoes at public sale sold
at rather lower prices, and went at 65s to 67s 6d for mid
to good quality, GO casks washed and shifted sold at 64s
to 66s 6d. There was only a limited demand privately,
the p.urchases amounting to only 550 hhds and tierces, but
in prices there is no further change; the total sales for
the week are 2,100 hhds and tierces.

MAURITIUS.—There bas been less demand for grocery
as well as for refining qualities, and prices gave way 6d
per cwt at the public sales, which have consisted of 12,600
bags, which went off heavily, the whole however was dis-
posed off at and after the sales; low middling brown went
at 603, middling to fine 61s to 62s 6d, low yellow 63s to
63s 6d, middling 64s to 645 6d, good 65s 6d to 66d, and
fine strong greyish yellow 66s 6d to 67s per cwt. The
stock exceeds that of last year by 18,400 bags ; the
importation has been on a par with that of last year; one
vessel has arrived since this day week.
EAST INDIA.—The grocers have purchased less freely
of Bengal by private contract, and 840 bags at public sale
were only partially disposed of at prices barely so good as
those of this day week ; good white went at 67s to 67s 6d,
low middling to 65s to 65s 6d, and damps and washed at
64s to 66s 6d : the stock exceeds that of last year by 25,000
bags. In Manilla there has been little passing by private con-
tract, the attention of buyers being directed to the large auc-
tions declared for next week ; prices, however, remain firm,
and 1,464 bags at public sale were disposed of; low mid
yellow at 215 6d to 225, low soft brown 19s to 193 6d, and
damps and damaged 17s 6d to 21s 6d per cwt. This after-
noon Bengal was in better demand by the home trade ; and
3,190 bags at public sale sold at fully former rates, fine
white fetched 683 to 695, good 67s to 67s 6d, good middling
66s to 66s 6d, middling rather dingy 65s 6d, damps 65s
to 66s 6d, and washed 65s to 65s 6d per cwt.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HoLLANDs.—Rum is held for former
rates, but there has been only a limited demand for Jamaica
as well as Leewards for shipping, and the home trade have
bought sparingly; Id per gallon under former rates has
been offered for several parcels of Jamaica 30 per cent.
over proof, but refused ; 100 puns have been sold at 6s 4d
for 35 to 37 por cent. over proof, and 100 puns 30 to 34
over at 6s to Gs 3d; of Leewards 150 puns have been sold,
proofs to 3 over at 3s 7d to 3s Bd, 4 to 8 over 3s 9d to
3s 10d, 12 to 14 over 4s to 4s 2d, 16 to 18 over 4s 3d to
4s 4d. Brandy is not cheaper, but the purchases have
been limited. Geneva has been taken sparingly, but former
rates prevail.
COFFEE.—West India of clean quality has brought
rather higher prices, but the demand has been restricted
by private contract, for unclean sorts there are, however,
still few buyers, and 90 barrels at auction were taken in

105 s to 110 s ; Brazil, at is 6d to 2s advance, ordinary to
