MARICET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—Thero 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 quickly. Pur-
chases amounted to 630 hhds, &c., including at auction
262 hhds. Barbadoes, which went briskly, and in some
cases a small advance was paid ; middling to good yellow
realised 36s to 38s 6d, and fine 39s to 39s 6d ; 86 hhds.
Demerara crystalized, mid. 37s 6d to 38s, good to fine
38s 6d to 41s ; 78 hhds. and 120 bags ord. grocery 34s to
34s 6d ; good to fine brown 32s 6d-to 33s 6d per cwt.
REFlNED.—Purchases have been on 'a larger scale in re-
fined sugar for home consumption, in consequence of rather
lower rates having been accepted. The currency for

brown lumps is now 44s to 44s 6d; Tittlers, low to fine
45s to 495, double 50s to 5/s ; Bambro' loaves 45s 6d
to 50s, double 51s to 525, and standard lumps 46s per cwt.
There is a further increase of supply ; and the difference is
13s per cwt. between the raw and refined material. A
good business has been concluded in wet lumps, yet there
are ready sellers of low to good at 41s to 435, and fine
43s 6d to 445. Pieces have been only in moderato request;
low to good at 35s to 395, and fine 40s to 41s. In bastards

large transactions have taken place ; brown at 27s to 31s,
and yellow 32s to 355. A free sale still exists for treacle,
and there is a firm market. Boiled from West India mo-
lasses realised 15s 6d to 16s, patent 16s to 16s 6d, and
golden syrup 178 to 18s. British crushed sugar is not
cheaper, still only small export orders executed at 29s 6d to
30s. To-day home trade demand for refined sugar was ex-
tensive, and prices advanced, brown lumps selling at 449
Gd. 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 havo taken place privately. At auction 6,900
bags found buyers ; low to middling brown at 28s to 30s
6d ; good to fine, 31s to 368 ; low to middling yellow, 33s
to 35s ; good to fine, 353 6d to 37s 6d ; 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, sto 35s 6d.

EAST-INDIA.-Prices have rather given way for Madras,
still purchases are rather important. This afternoon a goal
demand was experienced for Bengal Sugar ; and the rates
obtained are fully equal to last week. At auction 4,300
bags were chiefly sold; low to good white Benares at 36s 6d
to 38s 6d, fine ditto 395, mid like Mauritius 35s to 35s 6d,
giroasinys lwhite4ls to 425, good to fine yellow ditto 38s 6d to
parcels of Madras were disposed of at the
previous currency, and at auction 120 bags realised 30s 6d
to 32s for ord and good soft yellow.
FOREIGN.-The value of white Havana afloat is 27s to
28s, brown 19s 6d to 19s 9d, and white Pernambuco 20s to
225. Havana brown selling at 34s 6d to 34s 6d, low to
middling yellow 35s to 37s 6d, good to fine 38s to 40s,
Florretts 40s 6dlto 41s 6d ; Brazil low to fine brown 305 to
335, yellow 333 6d to 355, white 35s 6d. to 40s ; Java c,rey-
and white 36s 6d to 40s, brown and yellow 32s to 36s ;bFo
reign Muscovado, good to fine yellow 37s 6d to 39s 6d, low
to middling 348 to 378, brown 32s 6d to 33s 6d ; China
brown and yellow 33s to 33s ; Porto Rico, fine and superior
yellow 39s to 41s, low to good 345 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 none was offered at auction.
MOLASSES.-The supply is not yet adequate for demand,
and previous prices are well kept up. Of Porto Rico 500
puns have been sold at 16s for old, with small parcels St.
Vincent and Antigua 16s 6d to 17s, other sorts West India,
15s 6d 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 38s to 465, and
Jamaica 40s to 52s per cwt. Several purchases mae in
tamarinds, East India 9s to 14s, and West India 24,s to
44s per cwt.
SALTPETRE.-Buyers 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, 34 lb, 29s
6d ;sAlbto 54 lb, 27s to .28s ; Balb to lb 25s to 26s
per cwt.
COFFEE.-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 6d
per cwt. To-day 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 45s to 45s
6d for good ord. The auctions at present declared are un-
important.
TEA.-There is yet little doing in low to good common
Congou, and merchants are inclined to sell at 10d to 104 d
per lb., supply keeping on. the increase. Other sorts have
been in excellent request by home dealers, still prices have
not improved. Sonchong continues to be required, and there
is a firm market. Prices for fine rule at is 7d to 2s, good
1s 2d to is 6d, and low to mid 9Ad to is ld, the better sorts
being most wanted. Pouchong met with a slow sale, and
7d to 9d is now the value, a larger quantity leaving been
brought forward. The following is the currency for green
-Hyson ord and mid is ld to 1s 4d. good to fine is scl to
2s 10d, choice 3s to 3s 4d, young Hyson Canton 10d to is,
Hyson kind is 2d to is Bd, fine to superior is 9d to 2s 3d,
Twankay 10d to is id, Gunpowder Canton 101 to is id,
Hyson kind is 2d to 2s 9d, fine 2s 10d to 3s 6d, Imperial
Canton is to is 2d, Hyson sort is 3d to 2s 21, Hyson
skin 81 to Is.

RlCE.—Madras, pinky 10s 6d to 11s, Coringa grain 10s
6d to lls 3d ; Bengal, mid to fine white us 3d to 12s 3d,
low 10s 9d to lls, broken lOs 3d to 103. 6d, Araccan 9s 6d
to 10s, white Java 10s to 12s 6d, and yellowish 9s to 9s 6d.
For arrival several contracts have been concluded ; Madras
93 6d to 10s, and Arracan. 9s to 9s 6d.
TALLOW.—Although a further reduction has been sub-
! mitted to, still only a limited business was concluded for
any purpose. There are sellers of fine yellow candle on
the spot at 45s Od to 45s 3d ; for delivery in next two
months at 455, and for the latter part of the year at 44s 6d
to 44s 9d per cwt. Home melted is cheaper, and demand
'moderate=--45s 6d to 46s is the value cash. Prices for other
sorts have given way 6d, supply keeping plentiful.
OlLS.—There is an increasing demand for Sperm, yet
no rise has been established. At auction 76 tuns were
disposed of—good at 851. 5s to 861. per tun. In Seal larger
transactions have taken place, but no rise has been pro-
, duced—pale selling at 351. 5s to 351. 15s, and other sorts
321. to 351. Cod is wanted, and with difficulty can be ob-
tained under 341. Southern met with rather more in-
quiry, and there being, no increase of supply the currency
is firm at 341. to 371. for low to fine. In Palm mceny con-
tracts have been concluded at 31s to 345, and there is a
firm market. Cocoa Nut is wanted. The market for rape
seed oil remains active—pale realised 38s to 38s 6cl,
brown 36s 6d to 375, and refined foreign 398 'to 40s. Olive
is still selling at high prices, stock being much reduced;
the value of Gallipoli is 681. to 701., and other sorts 63/. to
671. per tun. Linseed oil attracts much notice both for
shipping and home consumption. The value is 31s. 3d. to
31s. 6d. on the spot, and 31s. 9d. to 325. for delivery.
Lard oil is held for 60s. to 625. per cwt.
Rusi, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—A good market for
Leeward Island Rum, but supply being limited prices rule
firm at is lld to 2s per gallon proof ; but to arrive parcels
can be obtained under these terms. Choice sorts, De-
merara, 48 to 40 per cent. over proof selling at 4s to 4s 6d,
fine 34 to 26 over proof 3s 6d to 3s 10d, good middling
to good ditto 6s to 8s sd, and low to mid 30 to 40 over
2s 9d to 2s 11d. Havannah scarce, and under is 4Od proof.
Home and export clearances must still be regarded as sa-
tisfactory. Sales of Cognac best brands of the vintage of
1851 made at 8s ld to 8s 3d, 1850 ditto 8s 4d to 8s 6d, 1849
ditto 8s 5d to 8s 7d, 1848 ditto 8s 6d to 8s Bd, older 8s 9d
