MARKET INT ELLIGENC E.

( From the New London Price Current of May ,
Suas.R.-There is evidently a tendency on the part of the
importers to realise, consequently the prices of British Pian_ta:
tion must be quoted rather lower than our last, and the ti"
was corroborated on the opening of the M irket on Tuesday,
particularly at the sale of Barbadoes. Thy first auction C 0.1,1-
,isted 139 hhds. Barbadoes, and as a parcel the sampl.s

prices paid were from 665. 6d. to 675. ; the other sale was tt,
second of the kind, being 2,385 bags Bengal, on the same
the
West and conditions as British Plantation Sugar from

to the expectations of most people, yet rather lower than the
previous Market rates, good white Bengal, 625. to 635. 6d.,
and mid. and damp, 60s. 61. to 61s. 61. per cwt. The salg

MOLASSES--.West India Molasses have been sold at 29,„5.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Mir 6. 10,
The week opened with a continued good demand for Cotton, 4
advance noticed in our last being firmly maintained. Since Alon'tsl
the demand has been limited, and a decline of %d. per lb. (equ,,e,
to the previous week's advance) has been submitted to, the mar*
the market closing heavily at the quotations of the 21st ult. E„glii
tian continues to be neglected at nearly nominal rates. In Pr—
a decline of 4d. per lb. has, in many instances, been submitted t,
Surat continues heavy, and sales have been made in the rota
quality at a reduction of VIA. in the lb. The public sale of 1,'"`"",
Laguayra, and 1,600 bales New Orleans, was very numerously a,";
tended, the latter going off with spirit at the decline above quotoi
the former were withdrawn without a bid. The sales of the Wee
