MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of Jan. 17.)
SUGAR.—The West India Market has been in a dull state
all throughout the past week, and although the importers have
submitted to a reduction on former rates oils. to Is. 6d., both
grocers and refiners have purchased with much caution at the
decline, and have taken barely sufficient to supply their imme-
diate wants, and the purchases privately have not exceeded
1,600 hhds. and trs. There have been arrivals amounting to
1,700 hils:, trs., &e.

The stock of West India Sugars is now 25,899 1117th. and
trs., being 5.51.1 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is now 19,6.51 .bws, which is 23,209 less than last year, (in-
cluding the East India Dock.) The delivery of West India
last week was 2,702 hhds. and trs., which is 65 more than
last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 4,683 bags, being
365 less than the corresponding week of last year (including
the East India Dock.)
This afternoon great languor prevailed in the market, and
although the importers arc sellers at a further reduction of
6d. a Is. there is still very little inclination evinced on the
part of the buyers to purcLase, and the private transactions
were rather under 300 hhds. and trs. At public sale 130 hhds.
flarhadocs sold heavily, and they milt at 635. a 68s. fur mid.
.-ind lithe yellow.

The Refined Sugar trade has been exceedingly inactive
during the week, and although the Market has been extremely
bare of goods, yet such has been the limited business done,
either for shipping or home consumption, that the refiners have
submitted to the reduced prices of 88s. for Lumps to pass,
86s. for those rather under the standard, and 375. for double
Crushed. The Market is bare of Treacle, but there is only a
limited demand for it. Bastards have moved off slowly at
previous rates. For some small parcels of Duteh Crushed
345. 6d. has been accepted to be delivered in two months.
This afternoon double Crushed was dull of sale at 375. ; the
grocers buy sparingly at 86s. a 88s. for Lumps, the former
rather under and the latter that would pass the standard.
Mseserics. -In the prices no further decline has been sub-
mitted to. but the market has been extremely dull, for by pri-
vate contract there has been scarcely anything done, and only
400 bags have been offered at auction, which went heavily,
mid. and good Brown at 555. to 575. 6d., ord. 50s. 6d. a 525.
There have been two arrivals, amounting to 10,000 bags, of
the new crop. At present no public sales are announced.
EAST INDIA.-In Bengal little has been done for shipping,
and the home buyers, continue to purchase sparingly, and prices
have again given way Is. to Is. 63. for all descriptions; of
3,000 bags offered at public sale only a small portion with
difficulty found buyers at the reduction, mid, and fine Wilde,
30s. 6d. to 355. ; damps, 30s. to 335. 6d. ; damaged, 265. ;
the holders still refusing to accept the reduced offers made for
Siam and Manilla, nothing has been done ; of Java there is
scarce any in the Market, and prices are novinal.
This afternoon the parcels offered at public sale were ex-
tensive, amounting to 7,458 bags; the Siam was all taken
in at stiffer prices, dry strong white at 28s. 6d. a 325., low to

the part of the buyers of Brazil to do business by private con-

full prices, particularly of good strong qualities of the former;
the purchases have been only 30 chests Bahia at 9s. for good
strong grey ; in Havannah the transactions have been confined
to the public sale of 1,250 chests, part only of which were dis-

qualities of British Plantation, but the request has been only
