MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, of yesterday:)
SUGAR.—There 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-
Vions' terms. have been sustained for West India, still
grocers and refiners operated with reluctance, and from
Wednesday to Friday purchases were only 800 AB &c. ;
low to fine brown at 32s to 34s 6cl; yellow ditto 34;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 39s to 40s
6d ; middling to good 363 to 38s Gd ; ordinary 34s 6d to
35s 6d.
REFINED.—Prices for brown lumps rule at 453 to 46s ;
Tittlers, common to fine, 46s to 50s, double 51s to 52s ;
Hambro' loaves 46s Gd 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-
fired 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 Gd. 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 42s low to good 36s to 39s Gd. 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 Gd to 17s.
In Loaves large purchases have been made, Turkey, 1 to
5i lbs. rule at 42s to ; Hambro, 6to 15 ditto 33s to
35s 6d ; Tittlers, 22 to 30 ditto 31s to 32s ; Prussian, 40
to 45 ditto 30s to 30s 6d ; Dutch made Loaves, 6 to 10 lbs.
31s 6d to 33s ; and Belgian 29s 6d to 30s 6d per cwt. To-
day, many purchases were made in Refined Sugar for home
, consumption, and brown lumps cannot be obtained under
45s 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.

Meunrrius.—The value of fine and good yellow is 36s
to 395, middling 35s to 35s Gd, low 348' Gd, good to fine
brown 32s to 345, common to middling 2Ss to 31s, low to
fine grey 33s to 375, grainy white 42s to 445, yellow ditto
36s to 41s, and brown 34s to 35s 6d per cwt. This after-
noon Mauritius Sugar was in plentiful supply, and the
quantity offered at public sale was 9,030 bags ; the bulk
found buyers, but in some cases there was a decline of Gd per
cwt. Fine yellow went at 37s to 39s 6d ; mid so fine 34s
6d ; low 33s 6d to 318 ; mid to fine brown 30s Gd to 33s 6d;
ordinary 29s to 30 ; and low to fine refining 32s to 37's per
cwt.

EAST INDlES.—Operations in Bengal have been exten-
sive, and the previous advance has been well sustained. At
public sale 15,300 bags Benares nearly au found buyers—
low to middling grainy white at 41s to 42s 6d, good to fine
yellow ditto 31s to 435, fair brown 33s 6d ' • Benares, good
to fine white 38s 6d. to 40s, low to middling 36s 6cl to 38s,
fino yellow 35s 6d to 36s 6d ; Mauritius sorts good to fine
34s 6d. to 363 6a, middling and low 33s to 345, brown 30s Gd
to 32s 6d, and Khaur 27s to 28s 6d. per cwt. This after-
noon the suppltof Bengal was again large, and the public
sales went off quietly. White Benares at 6d per cwt. de-
cline, and other sorts in some cases at rather lower terms.
Of 10,000 bags the chief part sold—white Benares 39s to 40s,
low to good 36s to 38s 6d ; good and superior grainy yel-
low 38s to 41s ; fine, like Mauritius, 36s 6d.to 37s 6d.
Madras is less wanted, and rates are barely supported. At
auction 270 bags realised, for brown 28s to 295, and low to
middling yellow 29s 6d. to 31s per cwt.
FORElGN.—Exporters have been desirous to operate in.
.foreign sugar, and there has been a good home-trade
demand. The rates obtained are fully equal to those cur-
rent previously. Private transactions are 3,000 chts Ha-
vannah, brown at 31s 6d to 35s 6d, low to middling yellow
36s to 38s, good to fine 39s to 41s, floretts 41s Gd to 42s ;
2,000 bags brown Pernambuco 32s 9d ; 300 chts Bahia
white 36s to 40s, yelll9w 34s 6(1 to 35s 6d, brown 31s to
34s ; 500 bkts Java, grey and white 37s to 41s, yellow 36s 6d.
Floating cargoes are wanted for all purposes, but the re-
luctance of merchants to sell prevents business. The value
of yellow Havannahs, 21s 6d to 25s for numbers 101 to 16 ;
brown, 20s 6d to 21s for 9 and 10 ; white, 27s to 28s 6d.
Brown Pernambuco, 17s 3d to 17's 6d ; white, 20s to 23s ;
and brown Bahia, 17s 9d to 18s 6d per cwt. Stock of
foreign sugar is 10003 tons less than at this time last year.
To'-day, the private operations in foreign sugar were of
little moment for shipping or home-trade purposes ; still
duty paid parcels or floating cargoes are not offered at a
decline. There was no public sales.
SALTPETRE.—To-day there was a larger supply, and
shippers as well as home dealers operating with reluctance,
prices rather declined. Of 5,403 bags Calcutta at auction,
a small partonly sold ; refraction 5 to 6 per cent, at 29s to
29s 6d ; 64 to 9 ditto, 26s 6d to 28s ; 94 to 13 ditto, 26s to
26s 6d ; and 154 to 201 ditto, 25s 6d. 333 bags Madras,
24s to 24s 6d per cwt.

COCOA.-Supply is limited of West India ; previous
prices are well sustained, and a good demand exists. Pri-
vately Trinidad-low to mid red realises 35s to 38s, good to
fine 39s to 445, grey 32s to 355, and Grenada 31s to 37s per
cwt. Foreign is rather more in request ; Bahia at 24s 6d
to 255, and Guayaquil 34s to 365. Para in part sold at 278
to 235, ad 14 bags Caracas at the high rates of 83s to 81s
per cwt. To-day at auction 74 bags Trinidad went at 31s
Gd to 375, being rather lower prices.
MOLASSES.-West India continues to be much wanted
and stiff rates are offered, but supply is yet small. Of
Porto Rico 200 casks have been sold at 17s for new, and old
16s per cwt. The prices paid for Antigua are 16s Gd to 17s,
other sorts of West India 15s to 16s, Bengal and Mauri-
tius 13s 6d. to 14s Gd per cwt. Stock of Molasses is 3,000
tons smaller than in the previous season. Tamarands
are much required, West India at 24s to 445, and East India
9s to 14s per cwt. There is a ftirther decrease of supply,
and few parcels aro near at hand. A free sale exists for
honey, and rates rule firm, supply ,being small ; Cuba
rule at 36s to 40s' Jamaica 44s to 50s, and Narbonne 56s to
63s per cwt. The supply is expected to remain small.
COFFEE.-Tho middling to fine qualities of Plantation
Ceylon met with little attention, and supply being more
plentiful, prices declined is Gd to 2s per cwt. ; but lower
sorts have been in good demand, and former terms are
maintained. Of 350 casks and 390 bags at auction, not
above one-half found buyers, fine went at 65s to 68s, good
GOs to 645, middling 57s to 595, low middling 55s to 565,
fine to tine ordinary 50s to 545, triage 45s to 495, and pea
berry 65s to 66s 6d. Privately fine and superior sorts of
coffee are offered at 708 to 848 per cwt. Stock of Ceylon
is 30,000 bags more than last year, but in the casks there
is a small decrease. Prices for Native are 8s to 9s, and
Plantation 8s to 14s per cwt. above last season. Ja-
maica remains in scanty supply-45s to 48s, fine ord nary
49s to 51s, fine ord to mid 52s to GOs, better sorts 62s to
645, and triage 40s to 463. Stock is nearly the samo as in
1852. Mocha met with less attention, and supply being
plentiful there is a decline of 2s per cwt. Of 135 bales and
180 hf-bales at public sale, a small part only found buyers,
good unclean long berry at 74s to 74s 6d, mid to good
small clean garbled 73s to 768 Gd, common greenish from
Alexandria 608 to 625, and ungarbled 56s to 61s. Stock is
3,500 bales more than last year, and rates rule above,by 4s
to ss. Other East India sorts are not much required, and
there is some reduction. At auction 129 casks, 62 bales,
and 30 bags Madras found buyers, good to fine ord at 44s
Gd to 535, superior 57s to 625, and unclean 39e 6d to 43s 6d.
Privately Malabar and Mysore can be obtained at 44s to
565; Tellicherry 47's to 70s, superior 728 to 808, Company's
Java 503 to 535, Singapore 45s to 48s, Sumatra and Padang
40s to 435. A cargo of 5,000 bgs Rio 40s 3d for good firsts,
not fully insured for the Mediterranean. On the spot
purchases limited • Costa Rica, good to fine ord 47s to
535, fine fine ord 648 to 565, low to mid 57s to 60s, good
62;t0 68s, fine 70s to 80s ; Brazil, low to good ord 38s to
41s, fine ditto 42s to 42s 6d, and washed 4is to Ms. To-
day the rates required for Native Ceylon were 47s to 48s
for good to real good ordinary, but few buyers are to be
met with. There was a reluctance to operate in Plantation
Ceylon, and previous terms are barely maintained. At
auction, 80 casks and 133 bags only in part sold ; good at
59s to 63s ; low middling to middling 54s to 58s • other
sorts 49s 6d to 53s 6d ; Triage 45s to 48s 6d ; and fair pea
berry 648. Costa Rica must be quoted is to 2s cheaper ;
and a public sale of 2,164 bags went at 48s to 51s 6d fox
good to fine ordinary. Of Tellicherry 198 cases sold at 58s
to 64s 6d. for middling to good ; these are lower rates.
TEA.-The market is firm for low to good common Con-
gou at 10d to 10,3 d for sound, still a reluctance has been
evinced to operate during the last few days. At previous
terms other sorts have been in good request; rather black-
ish leaf to blackish leaf realised lid to is 4d, strong to
Pekoe kinds is ld to is Bd, superior 1s 9d to 2s 2d, but
medium continues in demand. Fine Oolong is wanted at,
18 5d to is Bd, and good is 2d to 18 4d ; there is, however,
a reluctance to operate in mid and common, with sellers
at 10d to is id. Souchong remains much in request, and
there is some firmness in the market ; prices for fine range
at is 7d to 2s, mid to good is to is 6d, and common 10d
to lid. The currency for Pouchong is 8d to 9i,d for clean.
Holders of green are unable to obtain an advance, although
many purchases have been made, good to fine attracting
most attention, and of such supply is at present limited;
Hyson mid is 2d to is sd, good to fine is 6d to 2s 10d,
choice 3s to 3s 4d, young Hyson Canton 10d to ls,
Hyson kind is 2d to 1s Bd, fine to superior is 9d to
2s 3d, Twankay 10d to is id, Gunpowder Canton 10d to
is id, Hyson, kind is 2d to 2s 9d, fine 2s 10d to 38 Gd, Im-
perial Canton is to is 2d, Hyson sort is 3d to 2s 2d, Hy-
son skin &I to 9d. In flowery Pekqe little has been done ;
low to good can easily be obtained at is 3d to is 10d, and
fine to superior at 2s to 3s 6d. Caper is yet little wanted,
and there are ready sellers at 8d to is in boxes, and scented.
10d to is 7d. Scented Orange Pekoe remains much in re-
quest, and there is a firm market ,• the currency is for fine
is Gd to is 10d, mid to good is ld to is sd, and common
lid to Is.
RICE.-Although East India is offered at a small reduc-
tion, privately purchases have been of little moment for
shipping or home consumption. The prices accepted were
for low to mid white Bengal lie to lls 3d, good mid to fine
lls 6d to 12s, broken 10s 3d to 10s 9d, Madras 10s to lOs
6d, Arracan Os 6d to 10s, white Java lOs to 12s Gd, yellow-
ish 9s. to Os 6d, and cargo Bengal 9s to 9s 3d. There are
no sales to report for arrival ; Arracan can be obtained at
Os to 9s 6d, and Madras Os 6d to lOs per cm 6. There is
more doing in cleaned, in consequence of rather low terms
having been accepted-ord to fine Patna selling at 12s 6d
to 17s, first sort Carolina 325, second ditto 235, and Ameri-
can dressed 23s to 255. Several buyers of sago, and rates
aro improving, ruling for small pearl at 18s to 21s, large
and medium 19s to 325. To-day there was little passing in
East India rice privately, and previous rates are barely
sustained.
COCHINEAL.-To-day there was less business doing both
for the home and foreign markets ; the supply was plenti-
ful, and rates declined ld per lb. Of 400 bags at auction,
not above one-half actually sold.

--SPIRITS.—Stocks of rum less than last year, and deli-
veries continue satisfactory for all prposes, although rates
range above. There is an active demand for brandy, and
deliveries keeping larger than arrivals, prices are on the
advance. Cognac bst brands of the 'vintage of 1851 selling
at 7s 3d to 7s sd, 1850 ditto, 78 6(1 to 7s gd, 1849 ditto 7s
8d to 7s 10d, 1848 ditto 78 9(1 to 75 11d, older 8s to 8s 4d,
low to mid sorts 6s 4d to M. Several purchases have been
made in Geneva at 2s 3d to 2s 4d, and fine 2s 7d 'to 2s 11d.
OILS.—The stock of olive oil is much reduced, and there
being many buyers rates are on the advance, ruling for
Gallipoli at 64, to 651, and other sorts 611 to 63/ per tun.
Arrivals are expected to be light for some time. In rare
oil purchases are very important, there is a rise, pale real-
ising 37s 6(1 to 38s, brown 35s 6(1 to 363, foreign refined 33s
to 38s 6(1. An extensive demand exists for linseed.
TALLow.—A greater demand has been experienced for
Russian on the spot, and there is an advance ; fine yellow
candle realising 46s 6d to 47s per cwt. For delivery many
contracts have been entered into ; the prices paid for the
spring are 46s 6d to 46s 9(1, and 45s 6d to 46s for last three
months of the year.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL. JAN. 11.

The Corn-exchange this morning was slenderly attended.
There was about trio usual demand for wheat and flour
from the neighbouring millers and dealers, at much the
same prices as 'were current this day se'rinight. There
were only a few buyers from a distance. Fine oats were
scarce, and quite as dear, but secondary sorts were id to
id per bushel lower. Oatmeal also was. rather easier to
buy. The sales of barley, beans, and peas were inconsider-
able, and prices stand unchanged. Scarcely any Indian
corn here at present.

IPSWICH—JAN. 11.
The supply of wheat was small ; those samples which
were dry and in condition sold readily, and in some in-
stances with a turn against the buyer. The trade evinced
much firmness, and it only requires a gentle frost to put
the wheats into condition to establish a fair advance in
price. Of barley there was a good supply, and the quality
generally fine ; it sold readily, and an advance of is per
qr. was freely paid. Other grain firm.

HULL-JAN. 11.

To-day we had a short supply of wheat from the farmers,
with next to nothing of foreign. The condition of the
new wheat was better than from the recent we athor could
be expected, but still a good deal affected, and only best
samples met ready sale at the full prices of last week,
while anything inferior was neglected, Nothing of moment
done in foreign, except in the merest retail. Barley of
fine quality is sought after, and is dearer ; no alteration
in the value of grinding. Oats fully 6d per qr. dearer.
Beans and peas without alteration' but the mild weather
checks consumption of the latter. Linseed of all kinds is
dearer, and a somewhat better demand for cakes. No
transactions in rapeseed, but cakes still meet free sale for
feeding.
