.MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the New London Price Current of April 4.)
SUGAR.—The demand for British Plantation for the scale,
as well as for refining, has been extremely moderate, and rather
lower prices have been submitted to for brown and inferior soft
yellow descriptions, but the supply at Market of good and fine
grocery sorts being short, the quotations have undergone no
change ; the purchases privately have not exceeded 900 hhds.
and trs. ; the stock is now less than it was last year, and the
deliveries continue to be greater than they were at this period
last season ; thero have been few arrivals ; the last Gazette
average price shows a difference of ss. 6d. when compared
with that of last year.

The stock of West India Sugar is now 9,2671111 d.. and trs ,
being 1,609 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is now
61,800 bags, which is 13,120 less than last year (including the
East India Dock). The delivery of West India last week was
1,823 hhds. and trs., which is 475 more than last year. The
delivery of Mauritius was 6,919 bags, being 3,561 more than
the corresponding week of last year (including the East Ir.dia
Dock).
This afternoon the Market was in a very inactive state, and
the limited business done chiefly confined to the grocery de-
scriptions, but the quantity on show being scanty, no reduc-
tion in prices has been submitted to, except for the brown
descriptions, which in some instances have been sold on easiec
terms; the purchases have been confined to 450 }Ads. and Ira.
The market for refined goods continues in a dull and de-
clining state, both the home and export buyers purchasing
with much reluctance at a decline on former prices of is. ;
Lumps in small parcels that would pass the stand-rd having
been made at 765., and fine Crushed at 335. to 335. 6d. For
the inferior descriptions of Bastards the request has been very
limited, but for good qualities there has been a fair demand at
fully former rates. Treacle has maintained last week's prices,
and the demand continues good. In Dutch Crushed Sugar
there is still nothing doing.

shippers or grocers, and Lumps entitled to the double bounty
arc offered at 755. 6d.

Java there is none here in stock.

request ; the supply is still short, particularly of those of strong
