MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

caution for home consumption, and rates closed for brown
lumps at 44s to 455, low to fine grocery 46s 6d to 48s per
cw '6. Crushed sugar is less wanted for shipping, still thero
is no decline.

attract much attention, and easier rates were accepted.
The public sales of 1,800 bags went at 35s 6d to 376 for
good to fine yellow, and at 33s to 35s for low to mid.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there is no decided re-
duction for Bengal Sugar, still the trade operated with
reluctance. Of 5,600 bags at auction a part only sold, low
to fine white Benares at 36s 6cl to 395, fine grainy yellow
395, and Khaur 26s 6d to 27s 6d. Madras is more abund-

maged Maceio were sold at a decline of Gd to is ; mid to

6d ; low white, 36s to 36s 6d. To-day there was little
passing in foreign sugar either for shipping or home con-
sumption, and prices dose fully 6d per cwt under last week.
There was no public sale.

and rates, compared with last week, show a small reduc-
tion. Of bags Trinidad at auction,id 'a part

Ceylon there is little doing, and 468 6d to 47s is the nearest
value of good ord. Plantation was purchased with reluc-
tance privately, and at previous prices holders were dis-
posed to sell.
TEA.—A reluctance is evinced to operate in lower sox Ls
of Congou, and there is a slight decline, but better kinds
have been in good demand for actual consumption, and
rates rule firm. The currency for low to good common is
10d to 101 d, rather blackish leaf to bEckish leaf 10id to
is CoAd, strong to Pekoe sorts is ld to is E I, and superior
is 9d to 2s 2d per lb. There is a larger quantity on offer
than last week of all qualities. In Green Tea a good deal
has been done, especially in better sorts. Hyson mid

RUM, BRANDY, AND 11OLLANDS.—The stock of East
India rum is 1,700, and of West India 2,000 puns., &c.,
less than at this date last year; home and export deliveries
are favourable, and prices rule higher by 4d to 7d per gal.
Brandy continues in brisk request, and previous terms are
well supported, stock showing a further decrease.
SPICES.—To-day there was not much demand for pepper,
and rates are barely maintained. At auction 772 bags
Malabar sold at 3d to 4d for shot kind. Of white 140
bags fetched 7id to lid for good ordinary, being the full
value. Mace is cheaper, and sc. went at 2s ld to 2s 5d
for ordinary and middling. Prices are rather lower for
Nutmegs, and at auction fifteen cases sold at is 10d to 2s
7d for low to middling brown.

much reduced prices ar firm, ruling for Gallipoli at 641. to

34s are the rates paid. Lard oil is not offered under 60s.
Cod can be obtained at 331 10s to 331 15s. In seal the
amount of business concluded is small, and a desire is
evinced to sell, pale at 351105, other sorts 321. 10s to 351.
Of Southern 341 to 381 is the value of low to fine, but little
is doing. Sperm sells more freely at 851 to 861 10s, and
Headmatter 861 lOs to 881. The value of Spermacetti is
is Sid to is 6d per lb.
TALLOW.— The demand has much fallen off for Russian
on the spot this week, and prices have declined 9d per cwt,

contracts have been concluded for delivery ; there are sel-
lers at 455,6 d to 45s 9d for next two months, and at 45s to
