MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of October 25.)
SUGAR.—British Plantation of brown and low yellow
quality have been taken sparingly by the grocers, and the
merchants have been compelled to submit to a reduction
on former rates of 6d per cwt to dispose of small qnanti-
tics : for good and fine yellow descriptions there has been
less demand, arid the operations hare been on a limited
scale; soft qualities been sold on lower terms, but strong grey
kinds have maintained their former value ; low and middling
yellow Barbadoes fetched 62s 6d to 64s 6d, good middling
65s to 66s 6d, good and fine 66s to 67s 6d; Jamaica, of
strong dry dark brown quality has been disposed of in the
market at 565, with more colour 59s 6d to 60s, fine yellow
665, and,Antigua at the same figure.
This afternoon former rates are barely supported, ex•
cepting for the better sorts of yellow, which command
previous rates ; mid yellow Grenada at 61s, and mid Ja-
maica 61s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—LOVVer prices have again been submitted to ;
for standard lumps 77s 6d to 78s, and for brown lumps
75s 6d to 76s 6d have been accepted. Bastards of
common quality are heavy of sale, but the better sorts at
and above 565, have sold to a fair extent, at previous
rates. Pieces command former prices. In crushed large
purchases have been made at 34s to 34s 3d for immediate

buy Brazil, and previous rates have not been supported by Is
per cwt for all qualities; at auction 394 chests Bahia, 40
chests 190 brls Pernambuco and Rio have been offered ; of

MOLASSES.—West India are not offered at any further
reduction ; at auction 210 puns Mauritius partly found
buyers at 21s 6d to 25s Gd per cwt.
COFFEE.—The large arrivals near at hand from the
Cape have produced an increased disinclination on the part
of the trade to buy unclean descriptions of British
Plantation Coffee, and even at a reduction on previous
rates of 2s 6d a 3s the purchases have been very
limited; clean qualities have maintained their former cur-
rency, but the demand has been limited ; mid Jamaica

fine ord 104 s a 109 s, good ord 95s a 103 s, one lot pea

This afternoon there was no improvement in the demand
for Coffee for consumption ; 223 casks 37 brls British
Plantation, and 2,147 bags St. Domingo, from the
Cape, were offered at auction ; the principal part
of the former were of mixed and unclean quality,
these sold heavily at lower and irregular prices—elean
kinds, however, fetched steady prices, low middling and
middling Berbice went at 112 s to 114 s per cwt--..the
latter was taken in at 67s 6cl to 68s for fine pale but of
rather indifferent flavour, being above its value.
