MARKET INTELLIG'ENCE.

(Prom the London, New Price Current of this day.)

"SUGAR.—The sugar market has been closed since
Thursday, but will re-open on Wednesday, when a good
demand is anticipated, consumption continuing on a large
scale with light stocks held by the dealers, still higher
prices are not expected for colonial or foreign. At present
the public sales declared comprised 8,000 bags Madras
chiefly good and fine grocery ; 12,000 bags Mauritius, 7,006
bags Penang and Bengal, 3,000 chts yellow Havannah-
-140 cases and 250 bags brown Bahia. Stock of West
India at this port is 2,900 tons deficient of last year, and
the present value of brown is at 32s to 35s for low to fine,
yellow 35s to 38s 6d, grey 33s to 38s, crystalised 34s to 395,
and fine 40s to 435.

REFlNED.—Production being still barely adequate for
home dealers' prices have ranged firm for all descriptions
of refined. Brown lumps realised 46s ; tittlers, common to
fine, 46s 6d to 49s 6d ; double, 50s ; Hambro loaves, 47s to
51s ; double, 52s to 54s ; and standard lumps, 478 per cwt.
There is, however, a reluctance to operate for delivery at
these terms, but for the present refined sugar is not ex-
pected to be cheaper, stocks being light, consumption fully
equal to last season, and no increase in supply of foreign
is anticipated. Wet lumps are yet much required—low to
middling at 42s Gd to 43s 641 ; and better sorts, 44s to 45s—
still at these terms a desire is evinced to sell. To-day re-
fined sugar was much wanted for home trade purposes, and
stiffer rates paid ; brown lumps selling at 46s to 46s 6d per
cwt. Crushed sells more freely for shipping on former
terms.

MAuumus.-Imports compared with last year show an
increase of 400 tns ; deliveries are greater by 1,400, and
stock is less by 2,400 tons. Privately purchases have been
on a small scale, and 6.t previous rates a desire is evinced
to sell, good to fine yellow at ars to 38s 6d, mid to good
mid 36s to 36s 6d, low 35s to 35s 6d, good to fine brown
32s 6d to 34s 6d, low to mid 29s to 31s, ord to fine refining
32s 6d to 375, grainy white 41s to 455, yellow 36s to 40s Gd,
and brown 34s to 35s lid per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-By private contract operations have been
immaterial, and previous terms are barely supported ; there
are sellers of grainy white at 39s to 445, good to fine grocery
36s to 38s 6d, low to mid 33s to 35s 6d, common to fine
soft yellow 29s to 335, and brown 28s to 29s per cwt. The
bulk of the supply yet consists of grocery sorts.
FOREIGN.-Prices for brown Parabia rule at 20s to 20s
6d, Bahia 21s 6d to 21s 9d ; Pernambuco 20s to 20s 6d,
white 25s 6d to 265, Meceio 24s 6d. to 255, brown Havan-
nah 218 6d to 225, for numbers 9 to 10, yellow 22s 3d to
25s 6d, for 10A to 16, white 27s to 28s ; Manilla clayed 20s
to 21s 6d, andunclayed 188 6d to 19s 6d per cwt. Several
offers refused rather under these terms. To-day there was
an active demand for floating cargoes of Foreign Sugar for
exporration, and stiff rates are paid. Two of brown
Per-
name sold at 20s 6d for near ports, and Bahia 21s 6d per
cwt. Duty paid parcels were operated in with more free-
dom, and realised full last week's terms.

ously. Public sales are not declared.
pri SALTPETRE. -At previous terms a good business is doing
vately, and only a moderate uantit
q
to 5 y is on offer ; Cal-
cutta 2i per per cent. realised 29s to 30s, 61 ditto 28s
6d, other sorts 258 to 28s, and Madras 24s 6d to 268 per
cwt. Stock of Saltpetre is 1600 tons over last year. De-
liveries show an increase of 700, and prices for fine rule
lower by is to 2s. A good demand for British refined at
308 to 30s 6d.
FAIIIT.-In currants scarcely any transactions have taken;
holders are very firm, and prices remain at 40s to 755. All
the advices received from the islands confirm the reappear-
ance of blight, but we are disposed to think it is too early
to form any positive opinion on the subject. In Valencia
raisins a good business has been done at 31s to 445. Eleme
raisins, eff the stalk, are much inquired after, and large
parcels have changed hands ; Black Smyrna have met with
unusual attention, in consequence of the trade introducing
them as a substitute for currants-the market has been
cleared of nearly all the parcels in first hands at 32s to 355.
Figs are in limited demand; Turkey 43s to 555.
COCHINEAL.-Honduras silvers realised for low good to
4s to 4s 4d, fine 45 5d to 4s Bd, dead and pasty 3s 8d to 3s lld ;
black, common to middling 4s 2d to 4s 9d, good to fine
4s 10d to 5s Bd, Teneriffee silvers 4s ld to 4s 4d ; black
4s 3d to 4s Bd, Mexican 3s lld to 4s Gd, and silvers 3s 8d
to 3s 10d pet pound.
OILS.-There are still ready purchasers of coaoa nut, and
prices are on the advance. About 600 hhds, &c., have
been sold this day week ; Cochin at 40s to 41s, and other
sorts 38s Ed to 39s 6d per cwt. Linseed oil is not in brisker
request ,- the value is 28s 6d to 28s 9d on the spot, and
29s to 295 3d for delivery. Lard oil is cheaper. Olive re-
mains in small supply, and rates rule firm ; Gallipoli at
391. to 71/., and other sorts 651. to 681. per tun, There is

a reluctance to operate in seal ; pale can be obtained at
351., and other sorts at 321. to 341. Cod is dull of sale at
331. to 331. 10s. Southern attracts little notice, and the
prices are 321. 10s. to 361. 10s. for common to fine.
TALLOW.—Since this day week a decrease has taken
place in operations in Russian on the spot, together with a
decline in prices; fine yellow candle selling at 44s 6d per
cwt. There are sellers for delivery in last three months of
the year at 44s 9d, yet few buyers are to be met with•
Home melted is held for an advance, still not much busi-
ness has been concluded, but the supply is less plentiful,
and 45s to 45s 6d is the value cash ; other sorts are cheaper,
the quantity brought forwaad having exceeded dealers'
wants.

SPIRITS.—To-day there was a dull market for all articles,
and rates are on the decline ; Leeward island rum can be
obtained at is 11d, East India is 10d, Demerara 2s 6d to
2s 9d for 30 to 40 over proof, and brandy at 7s to 7s 2d for
Cognac best brands of the vintage 1851.
-SricEs.—Prices are fully as high for nutmegs, and seve-
ral transactions have taken place privately ; ord to mid
brown at 2s 2d to 2s 9d, good mid to good 2s 10d to 3s 6d,
superior 3s 7d to 4s, and limed from is 8d to 2s 6d. At
auction 30 boxes Batavia went at 2s 8d to 2s 9d for rather
wormy. Of mace supply falls short of demand, and the
the currency is firm ; ord to mid at 2s 5d to 2s 9d, and
good to fine 2s 10d to 3s 2d. For pepper there is an in-
creasing demand, and rates well maintained for all sorts:
supply being less than previously ; including paresis at
auction, sdles for the week are 3,000 bags ; Malabar heavy
at 3id to 48d, light to half heavy 3;id to nd ; Pena*
dusty 3d to 3-id, and clean Sumatra 3id to 30. Of white
supply is not adequate for demand,.and buyers are inclined
to do business at 8d to 104 d, Coriander lid to is ",•
Cayenne is not in much request, and currency is low, rul-
ing at 4d to 9cl for low to good, fine at 10d to 1s Od•
Ginger is wanted mostly for home trade purposes, and sup-
ply being limited prices are firmer. African realised 26s
6d ; Jamaica, good to fine 100 s to 200 s, low to good mid
44s to 98s ; Cochin and Calicut, common to good mid 34s
to 48s, and better sorts 50s to 76s per cwt. Cloves are still
offered sparingly for sale ; Bourbon and African bid to
bid, Penang lid to is lid, and Amboyna 7id to •
8d• A
fair demand for cinnamon, and holders have confidence.
