MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(Prom the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—There was a greater reluctance to operate in
British Plantation sugar to-day for all purposes, and the
rates accepted were 6d per cwt. under those of riday for
the grocery and refining sorts. Transactions were only
486 lids, &c., including at auction 265 lads 10 tcs and 69
brls Barbadoes, a small part only of which found buyers;
low to mid yellow 31s to 345, good to fine 34s 6d to 38s,
and superior colory 39s ; 166 hds 8 tcs Demerara, low to
mid yellow 32s to 33s Gd, and brown 28s 6d to 31s.
MAURITIUS.—To-day there was not more disposition to
operate.
FOREIGN.—To-day floating cargoes were in good request
—one yellow Havannah sold for export at 22s Gd for Nos.
13, and two for Bristol at 21s to 21s 3d for 11i.
REINED.—Tho home trade demand is not better; brown
lumps can be obtained at 42s Gd, and low to fine grocery
43s to 48s 6d per cwt.
MOLASSES.—A much better demand ; 500 puns Cuba
sold at 13s 3d for clayed, and some parcels low to fine
West India 14s to 14s 3d per cwt.
COFFEE.—To-day foreign was sought after, and a cargo
of Rio sold for exportation, at 43s 6d for good firsts.
TEA.—Thero is more disposition to operate in better
sorts of Congou, still prices do not improve. The market
is flat for low to good ord, at 103 to 10Id. In Green Tea
little passing, and sellers willing to accept former rates.
COCHINEAL is less wanted, and at auction 100 bags pre-
pared silvers went id to 2d cheaper, selling at 2s ld to
2s 2d; 15 bags Honduras silvers were taken in at 3s 8d
to 3s 10d for small to middling, being above the value.
INDIGO.—The demand continues to get larger for East
India, and the parcels sold to-day were at an advance on
last sale's rates of 4d to Gd per lb ; some parties will not
sell thereat. •
SALTPETRE.—A more active demand, and holders are
less inclined to sell. The prices paid for Calcutta were
24s Gd to 28s for low to fine quality. Few sellers of nitrate
of soda under 17s 6d.
RlCE.—There was a good demand for rice to-day, and
full prices obtained. In auction 3,484 bags Bengal sold at
lls to lls Gd for mid white rather broken. Floating car-
goes of Arracan rice continue to be wanted by exporters,
and four have been sold at lOs 3d to lOs Gd per cwt. The
tendency of prices for rico is evidently downwards. Only
a moderate demand for cleaned at former rates.

OlLS.—Linseed, in the early part of the week, made
318 3d to 34s Gd, with sales to a moderate extent, but the
market closes flatly 345, sellers on the spot. For delivery
little doing, 31s 6d. to 35s Gd, according to time are the
quotations. Pale Rape oil has ruled firm at 455, and brown
hafi been done at 42s to 42s Gd. Ground Nut and Gin-
gelly aro quiet at 45s to 45s 6d. Public sales of 284 cks
are declared for Tuesday, along with 50 tons Sperm. The
last-named oil has recently sold at rather easier prices, say
101/. to 1051. for good current quality. Seal oil is in steady
demand at our quotations, and coloured descriptions com-
paratively dear. Cod oil supports its late value. Southern
is held for 401. to 421. Forced sales of cocoa nut to some
extent have been made at 49s for Ceylon, and 50s for
Cochin, but the market has since somewhat recovered, and
fine Cochin in hogsheads is held for 52s ; pipes about is
under this price.. Palm quiet here, but a good deal done
at Liverpool. Olive has obtained a steady sale at our quo-
tations.

TALLOW.—The weather has been against consumption,
and restricted the demand, which, with an occasional par-
cel forcing on the market, as is usual at the close of the
month, has caused a decline of is per cwt, 65s 9d. to 66s
having been accepted on the spot, 65s 9a for September,
and 66s 6d to 67s for last three months. Prospects favour-
able for the production of home make, but the St. Peters-
burg advices this week report that the extreme heat of the
weather was greatly increasing the difficulties of getting
the tallow oveiland.
