MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of this day.)
SUGAR.—Prices have ceased to decline for all descrip-
tions of colonial, there having been a larger home trade
demand, and a decrease of supply. The currency is main-
tained for foreign, and floating cargoes have been much in
request. To-day West India sugar realised rates equal to
Friday, and there was a fair home trade demand, still mer-
chants appear disposed to sell.
REFINED.—To-day large purchases were made in refined
sugar for home consumption, still prices are not better,
brown lumps selling at 455, and low to fine grocery 45s fid
to 48s per cwt. Crushed sugar attracts little notice for
shipping, and at former rates a desire is evinced to sell.

MAURITIUS.--This afternoon Mauritius sugar was ope-
rated in with increased freedom. The public sales of 4,700
bags went at full terms, fine yellow at 36s to 375, low to
good 33s to 35s 6d, low brown 28s to 29s 6d, better sorts
30s to 335, refining from 33s to 365, and low to good grainy
yellow 35s to 37s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.--To-day several purchases were made pri-
vately in Madras, and very full rates were obtained. Ben-
gal in good demand, and realised a small advance. A pub-
lic sale of 1,134 bags Benares went at 36s to 38s 6d for ord
to fine white. Several buyers of Penang at last weeks
valuation.

FOREIGN.—The demand has rather improved for duty
paid parcels, and supply is moderate, full rates have been
obtained. At the continental markets prices are firm for
sugar, there being a good demand, and supply moderate.
The Dutch Company have announced only 68,600 baskets
of Java for auction at Amsterdam on the 19th of July.
To-day duty paid parcels of foreign sugar or floating car-
goes were not offered at lower rates, but there was scarcely
any demand for shipping or the United Kingdom. None
was offered at auction.

TEA.—The political accounts from China are regarded as
more favourable, and shipments of tea exceed those of last
season by 4,500,0001b5. Since the new duty came into
operation, clearances for home consumption at all the ports
have been 10,000,0001b5, and stocks are about equal to last
season. To-day there was a reluctance to operate in all
sorts of tea at the public sales, some merchants displayed
firmness, and bought in and withdrew their teas at full
rates. Of the total quantity offered amounting to 18,000
pkgs, only 2,700 found buyers. The tea market closes
with a dull aspect, and a downward tendency.
COCOA.—In West India extensive purchases have been
made privately, and the prices paid are rather above those
current previously. Stock varies little from last year.
Since Friday 1,200 bags West India Cocoa have been sold
at rather higher rates, and there is much firmness in the
market.

MOLASSES.—The market is more freely supplied with
West India, and there being few buyers, prices have a
downward tendency ruling at 16s to 18s per cwt ; from
these terms little change is expected, stock being much
under last season.

COFFEE.—Of all kinds arrivals into the United Kingdom
since the year commenced have been 6,200 tons against
7,209 in 1852, and 6,585 in 1851; deliveries for home con-
sumption are 7,500, last season 6,349, and in the previous
one 6,224, for exportation 2,800 against 3,155 in 1852, and
1.453 in 1851. To-day privately operations were of little
moment in Native Ceylon, and at auction 125 bags new
import sold at 46s 6d for good ordinary.
TALLOW.—The demand for Russian on the spot con-
tinues to get larger, and prices to advance : fine yellow
candle has brought 47s 9d to 48w per cwt, and on the part
of merchants there is much firmness.

OILS.—The market presents a brisk appearance for seal,
and• prices are on tho rise—pale selling at 331 lOs to 341,
and other sorts 311 to 33/ per tun. A good demand pre-
vails for cod at 33/ 10s to 341, and with not free sellers.
SPIRITS.—For Jamaica ruin there has been an active
demand, and prices have rather improved. For brandy
the demand has become active, and prices are higher. In
the market for British made spirits there is much firmness.
RICE.—An active demand having been experienced for
East India, rather higher rates are obtained, and exporters
have been the leading operators. To-day East India rice
realised full rates, but met with little attention.
