MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From at: London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—The lowest point of the market for West India
was in the early part of February when sales of brown
were made at 15s to 30s 6d, and yellow 31s to 39s ; the
present currency is for the former 31s to 33s 6d, and 34s
to 40s for the latter. Of both Colonial and Foreign im-
ports here for the year have amounted to 205,000 tons,
and 214,000 in 1851 • deliveries for home consumption are
200,000, and 172,000 in the previous season ; for exporta-
tion they are 30,000 and 20,000 in 1851, stocks comprise
69,000, and at the close of 1851, they were 89,000 tons.
REFINED.—The supply is scanty, and home dealers being
desirous to operate prices on the advance for refined sugar,
especially for inferior and mid qualities. Sales of brown
lumps 45s•' Tittlers, low to fine 45s 6d to 49s 6d, double
50s to 51; Hambro Loaves 46s to 50s, double 51s to 525,
Standard lumps 46s 6d. per cwt. There are ready buyers
for delivery at these terms and with few sellers. To-day
there were ready buyers of Refined Sugar for home con-
sumption, and prices are still on the advance; good brown
lumps are with difficulty to be obtained under 45s 6d. per
cwt. Crushed Sugar is much wanted for exportation.
MAURITIUS.—The lowest rates current were in the early
part of February—brown selling at 22s 6d to 295, and yel-
low at 29s 6d to 378 ; the present currency is for the former
28s to 33s 6d, and 32s 6d to 39s for the latter. Several
parcels have been sold privately ; the rates obtained 6d,
and in some cases is per cwt. above last week, brown and
ord. yellow meeting with most attention.
EAST INDIA.—Of Bengal the quantity received to this
port has been for the year 29,100 tons, and in the previous
one 31,500; for home consumption there has been delivered
30,800, and 25,300 in the former one : stocks are 10,500,
and at the close of 1851 they were 12,500 tons. In the
early part of January prices for soft brown ruled as low as
21s to 24s 6d, and for white Benares in April at 31s 6d to
3686 d. The value of the former is now 28s to 293 6d, and
37s Gd to 40s for the latter. To-day there was again a
large demand for brown Bengal and Madras at 28s to 30s
per cwt.

baskets Java, grey 38s to 41s, brown and yellow 33s to
37s ; some parcels clayed Manilla 33s to 355, and 20,000
bags in bond at 18s to 18s Gd for unclayed. To-day there
were many buyers of foreign sugar for all purposes, but
holders refusing to accept previous rates business is much
interfered with.
COFFEE.—Prices are higher than at the close of the pre-
vious season by 6s to 7s per cwt. for native, and is to 12s
per cwt. for plantation. The value of good and fine was
53s to 73s in March and April, and now 61s to 88s. To-
day Plantation Ceylon Coffee was in excellent demand
privately, and rates compared with this day week show an
advance of is per cwt. Native is wanted, and prices closed
at 47s 6d to 48s for new import. Several buyers of Mocha
and Costa Rica at previous terms, with few sellers.
COCOA.—The consumption of West India has been much
larger than in the previous year, and there is an increase of
stock of 4,000 bags, but prices are nearly equal to those at
the close of 1851, ling for Trinidad, fine red at 40s to
455, low to good 34s to 395, grey 32s to 355, and Grenada
30s to 378. Foreign has been purchased witi caution, but
sales are not pressed. Bahia is now held for 24s 6d to 25s
6d, Para 26s to 27s Gd, and Guyaquil 35s to 36s per cwt.
Stock is much the same as at the close of 1851.

16s Gd to 17s, and other sorts of West India at 14s 6d to 1.65.

superior, of the new crop, is 9d to 2s 2d. Some business
has been done in Pouchong, and the currency remains at
Bd. to 9Ad for clean, supply being light. Oolong met with
little notice, and a disposition is evinced to accept 1s 2d
to is 8d for good to fine, low to mid 90 to is ld.
Souchong, of good and fine quality, continues to be
wanted at is 3d to 2s ; in common to mid, however,

The following is the general currency ; Hyson mid is 2d
