MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—Thero is no further advance for Foreign
although shippers and home dealers are desirous to operate,
with only moderate parcels on offer. Home and export
deliveries are favourable, and yet exceed arrivals. Pre-
vious terms have been sustained for West India, still
grocers and refiners operated with reluctance, and from
Wednesday to Friday purchases were only 800 hhds, &c. ;
low to fine brown at 32s to 34s 6d, yellow ditto 34s 6d to
40s, and refining 33s to 38s per cwt. Stock of West India
is smaller than at this date last season by 5,900 tons. To-
day there was a great demand for West India Sugar from
both refiners and grocers, the rates obtained were fully
equal to those of Friday, and the market has a firm
aspect. Purchases amounted to 770 hhds, including at
auction 370 hhds and 29 tierces Barbadoes, which went
briskly at very full prices ; fine yellow realised 398 to 44)s
6d ; middling to good 368 to 38s 6d ; ordinary 34s 6d to
358 6d.
REFINED.—Prices for brown lumps rule at 45s to 46s ;
Tittlers, common to fine, 46s to 50s, double 51s to 528;
Hambro' loaves 46s 6d to 51s, double 52s to 535, and stan-
dark lumps 47s per cwt. Several contracts have been en-
tered into on similar terms. The quantity of foreign re-
fined imported has again been small. A free sale exists for
wet lumps—low to mid at 42s to 435, and good to fine 43s 6d
to 44s 6d. In bastards purchases have been on a large
scale, brown at 27s to 31s, and yellow 32s to 355. For pieces
there is an active demand, and the currency is firm, fine at
41s to 428 low to good 36s to 39s 6d. A free sale exists for
treacle, still there is no advance • boiled from West India
molasses at 15s 6d to 16s, and golden syrup 16s 6d to 17s.

5i lbs. rule at 42s to 448 Ilambro 6 to 15 ditto 338 to

to 45 ditto 30s to 30s 6d ; Dutch made Loaves, 6 to 10,1bs.
many purchases were made in Refined Sugar for home
31s 6d to 33s ; and Belgian 29s 6d to 30, Gd per cwt. To-
day,
consumption, and brown lumps cannot be obtained under
453 per cwt. There is some firmness in the market.
Crushed Sugar is much required for shipping, and at last
week's rates there are few sellers.

noon Mauritius Sugar was in plentiful supply, and the
quantity offered at public sale was 9,000 bags ; the bulk
found buyers, but in some cases there was a decline of 6d per
cwt. Fine yellow went at 37s to 39s 6d ' • mid so fine 34s
6d ; low 33s 6d to 348 ; mid to fine brown 30s 6d to 33s 6d;
