3TARKRT INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of this day)
SIIGAR.—There has been no improvement in the home
trade demand for colonial, and supply keeping plentiful,
prices again show some reduction ; but as stocks held by
the retail trade are much reduced with a large consump-
tion, a better demand may be looked for quicly. Pur-
chases amounted to 630 hhds, &e., including at auction
262 hhds. Barbadoes, which went briskly, and in some
cases a small a(lvance was paid; middling to good yellow
realised 36s to 38s 6d, and fine 39s to 39s Gd ; 86 hhds.
Demerara crystalized, mid. 37s 6d to 335, good to fine
38a Gd to 41s ; 78 hhds. and 120 bags ord. grocery 34s to
34s 6d ; good to fine brown 32s Gd to 33s Gd per cwt.
. REFlNED.—Purchases have been on a larger scale in re-
fined ,F,ugar for home consumption, in consequence of rather
lower rates having been accepted. The currency for
brown lumps is now Als to 44s Gd; Tittlers, low to fine
45s to 495, double 503 to 51s ; Irambro' loaves 45s 6d
to 50s, double 51s to 525, and standard Ircups 463 per cwt.
There is a further increase of supp!7; and the diffrn eece is

13s per cwt. between the raw and refined material. A
good irusiness has been concluded in wet lumps, yet there
are re ady sellers of low to good at 413 to 435, and fine
43s Ga t0.,4-Is. Piezes have been only in moderate request;
low to good at 35's to 395, and fine 40s to 41s. In bastards
large -..-,ransactions have taken place ; brown at 27s to 31s,
and yellow 372 s to 355. A free sale still exists for treacle,
and there is a firm market. Boiled from West India mo-
lasses realised 15s 6(1 to Rs, patent 16s to IGs Cd, and
golden syrup 17s to 18s. British crushed sugar is not
cheaper, still only small export orders executed at 29s Cd to
30s. To-day home trade demand for refined sugar was ex-
tensive, and prices advanced, brown lumps selling at 44s
6(1. to 455, and low to fine grocery 45s Gd to 48s per cwt.
Crushed. sugar sells more freely for shipping at previous
terms.

MAURITIUS.—Prices have rather declined, still several
transactions have taken place privately. At auction 6,900
bags found buyers • low to middling brown at 28s to 30s
6d ; good to fine, il.s to 36s ; low to middling yellow, 33s
to 35s ; good to fine, 35s 6d. to 37s Gd ; common to fine re-
fining, 32s to 36s - and middling to fine grainy yellow, 36s
to 40s per cwt. This afternoon Mauritius sugar met with
greater attention, and prices are well sustained—indeed,
brown realised 6d per cwt. advance. At aution 9,356 bags
were sold—good to fine yellow at 36s to 37s 6d ; low to
middling, 34s to 35s 6cl.
EAST INDlA.—Prices have rather given way for Madras,
still purchaser are rather important. This afternoon a good
demand was experienced for Bengal Sugar ; and the rates
obtained .are Sully equal to last week. At auction 4,300
bags were chiefly sold; low to good white Benares at 36s 64.1
to 33s Cl, fine ditto 395, mid like Mauritius 35s to 35s 6d,
grainy white 41s to 425, good to fine yellow ditto 38s 6d to
os. Several parcels of Madras were disposed of at the
previous currency, and at auction 129 bags realised 30s 6(1
to 32s for ord and good soft yellow.
FOREIGN.—The valuo of white Havana afloat is 27s to
28s, brown 19s Gd to 19s 9d, and white Pernambuco 20s to
225. Havana, brown selling at 31.3 6d. to 34s Gd, low to

yellow 39s to 41s, low to good 34s 6d to 38s 6d, brown 33s
to 345. To-day a fair business was concluded privately in
Foreign sugar, both for the home and continental mar-
kets ; prices are firm, and nono was offered at auction.
MosassEs..—The supply is not yet adequate for demand,
and previous prices are well kept up. Of Porto Rico 500
puns have been solid at 16s for old, with small parcels St.
Vincent and Antigua 16s 6d to 17s, other sorts West India.
15s Gcl to 16s, Bengal and Madras 14s to 15s per cwt. Seve-
ral arrivals now looked for shortly. A good demand exists
for Honey ; Narbonne at 56s to 645, Cuba 33s to 465, and
Jamaica 408 to 52s per cwt. Several purchases made in
tamarinds, East India 9s to 14s, and West India 24s to
445 per cwt.
SALTPETME.—Boyers have shown less inclination to pay
the former prices, and only a small parcel of 2,667 bags
offered in public sale was taken off ; refraction, 3.} lb, 29s
6d; 5i lb to 5i lb, 27s to 28s ; si lb to 9t lb 25s to 263
per cwt.
COFFEZ.—There is yet a reluctance to operate in Native
Ceylon, but in prices scarcely any variation has taken place
since last Tuesday. Small parcels having been sold pri-
vately at 46s for good ordinary, and old import at 45s Gd
per cwt. To-clay the market for all sorts of Coffee pre-
sented a dull aspect. There was no public sale, and the
private purchases were trifling both for the home and fo-
reign markets. The value of Native Ceylon is 458 to 45s
6d for good ord. The auctions at present declared are un-
important.
TF.A.—There is yet little doing in low to good common
Congon, and merchants are inclined to sell at 10d. to 104 d
per lb., snpply keeping on the increase. Other sorts have
been in excellent request by home dealers, still prices have
not improved. Souchong continues to be required, and there
is a firm market. Prices for fine rule at is 7d to 2s, good
is 2cl to is 6d, and low to mid 9,1 d to is ld, the better sorts
a
being most wanted. Pouchong met with slow sale, and
7d to Ott is now the value, a larger quantity having been
brought forward. The following is the currency for green
—Hyson ord and mid is 1d to is 4d. good to fine is 5d to
2s 10d, choice 3s to 3s 4d, young Hyson Canton 10d to is,

TALLow.--Altbough a further reduction has been sub-
mitted to, still only a limited business was concluded for
any Prn'Pos-e. There are sellers of fine yellow candle on
the spot at 4.1 s 0,1 to 45s 3d ; for delivery in next two
montos at 455, and for tho latter part of the year at 41s (Id
