MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

From the New London Price Current of last Evening. )

SUGAR—Business in the British Plantation market was
re-
sumed this day ; importers evinced much firmness, and re-
fused to sell excepting at prices fully equal to those obtained
previous to the holidays; buyers, however, evinced very little
inclination to do business, and the transactions were limited
in both refining and grocery descriptions, the purchases
amounting to only 100 hhds and tierces.
The Gazette Average Price is now 35s 10d, against 41s 4.1 d
in 1837, and 35s 5.-id in 1836.
REFINED.—The grocers have purchased sparingly of com-
mon as %%ell as of the better descriptions of goods, but they
have been compelled to pay 75s for Lumps passing, 73s to
74s rather under the standard, and 71s to 72s for common and
brown qualities, which are very full prices. The nominal
value of double Crushea is 40s. Although Treacle has sold
slowly, buyers have been compelled to pay late rates. Bas-
tards have been taken sparingly, but former quotations have
been obtained. Pieces have secured a pretty good demand at
former prices. In Dutch Crushed Sugar under 32s 61 to 33s
there are no sellers.

EAST INDIA.—For Manilla there has been an increased de-
mand, and about 6,000 bags have been disposed of by private
treaty at 22s 6d for good brown quality mixed with damps ;
the bulk was taken by the refiners. For Siam full prices are
required, but the demand is still limited. Bengal—previous
rates have been supported.
This afternoon there was less demand for Bengal ; and at
the public sales of 3,700 bags, prices gave way Is.; fine
white sold at 70s, good :riddling and good 67s 6d to 695,
damps 65s 6d to 6;,5, washed 64s to 65s 6d, good and fine
sound yellow 66s 6d to 67s 6d, middling 64s to 665, low
brown 533 6d to 545, good 55s to 56s per cwt.
M AURITIOS.—The operations have been confined to a few
small second hand parcels taken by the grocers at previous
Cates: at present no public sale is declared, but cne may be
shortly looked for.
FOREIGN. —For yellow Havannah there has been some in-
quiry, the private purchases have been confined to 200 boxes
of good strong quality at 28s 6d; for white there is no de
mand, and in Brazil full prices are demanded.

MOLASSES.—In West India we have few transactions to re-
port ; prices unvaried.
CoFFEE. —For British Plantation of middling and good
quality, fully previous rates offered, ordinary and unclean
sorts have been taken sparingly. Of East India none
has been offered at public sale ; but by private contract
there has been a good demand for Ce)lon from the grocers ;
3,000 bags were disposed of last week at very full prices; good
and fine ordinary brought 965 to 98s, but yesterday buyers were
compelled to pay an advance of 2s for small parcels, good
ordinary selling at 983; the stock of Mocha being very light
occasions holders to require full prices. Foreign is held for
fully late rates, but the demand has been limited for St. Do-
mingo as well as for Brazil ; there is scarcely any of ordinary
quality of the latter to be purchased under 41s.
This afternoon several small parcels of West India were
taken by the grocers at the prices quoted.
COCOA.—Business of moment in Foreign is prevented by
the short supply. West India as last quoted, but there has

been little ; the deliveries, however, have increased.
Rum, BRANDY, AND BOLLANDS —For Rum former prices
are demanded, but there has been only a limited business
doing, and the purchases since our last have been confined to
100 puns Leewards, proofs at 3s 4/d. Brandy is held for
previous rates, but at present there are not many buyers. In
Geneva, the transactions have been limited, but lower rates
have not been accepted. British Corn Spirits as last quoted,
but there is less demand.

RICE.—The advices from Calcutta representing that the
shipments would be small for some time, cause holders here
to require full prices for all descriptions of East India ; but
there has again been only a limited business doing, good white
Bengal is held for 191 a 20g. The stock here is much reduced,
and it is now only 25,400 bags against 83,970 in 1838. The
arrivals last year were 84,660 bags less than in the former year;
for home consumption nearly 5,000 bags less have Leen de-
livered than in 1837 ; but the export deliveries have increased
7,000 bag!. Carolina has maintained late rates, but the de-
mand has been limited.
SPICES —Black Pepper continues in good request at the
rates previously established ; the home trade are still the
chief operators: the arrivals have been 8,000 bags under
those of 1837 ; the deliveries for home use have exceeded
those of 1837 by 1,000 bags, but for export they have
fallen off 7,000 bags, and the stock is now 4,127 large and

63,092 small bags, against 2,324 of the former, and 79,100 of
the latter at the close of 1837.—Pimento remains neglected,
but there are no sellers at lower prices ; the stock, when com-
pared with that of last year, shows a falling off of 400 bags ;
the home deliveries are 600 bags less than in 1837, but the
quantity taken for export exceeds that of last year by 6,000
bags ; the import has not been half of what it was last season.
In other articles not much has ben done.
PuovisioNs.—ln prices of Irish Butter little variation has
taken place. The fine descriptions of Dutch have sold
steadily, and buyers have been compelled to pay 108 s a 112 s
for Friesland and Holstein. Lard in good request. Bacon
has maintained its former currency. In the prices of India
Mess Beef and Pork there is little change.
TALLOW. _The market was quiet last week, and prices gave
way to 58s 6d to 58s 9d on the spot for P. Y. C. of first qua-
lity, but yesterday advises having been received from St. Pe-
tersburg, stating that 6.000 casks here frozen in the ice,
caused the trade to come forward more freely, and since then
the demand has been pretty good, and buyers have been com-
pelled to pay 595. For delivery in the last three months of
this year there is still scarcely any business doing, but under
52s there are no sel:ers. Town Tallow lower.
o:rms.—A good demand has prevailed for all descriptions of
common Fish Oils for home use at prices fully equal to those
of last Tuesday. Sperm, at advanced rates. In Linseed
large purchases have been made at 295. Rape at advanced
rates. Olive is held firmly. East India Cocoa Nut is held
firmly at 525. a 535.
INDIGO.—The demand for East India in the face of the
public sale of 9,198 chests has again been very limited, both
fur home use and export. Importers, however, remain firm.
NITRATE OF SODA.—Advanced prices have been obtained ;
17s 6d has been paid for large, and 18s for small parcels.
SALTPETRE.—There are still ready buyers of rough ; seversl
parcels of Calcutta have been disposed of since our last roport
at 26s 6d a 28s, according to refraction. British Refined steady.
