MABKET INTELLIGENCE.

(Prom the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—To-day West India sugar was not offered under
the rates of Friday; but there was only a limited demai,d
from grocers or refiners, and supply is evidently on the in-
crease. At auction 180 his tierces Barbadoes went at
prices on a par with those of Friday ; fine yellow selling at
395, mid to good 35s to 37s Gd, low 3-is to 34s Gd, and
brown 32s to 33s 6d per cwt. Total operations were only
390 hhds, &c.
REFINED.—To-day refined sugar was purchased with re-
luctance for home consumption ; brown lumps are 45s 6d,
to 46s 6d, and low to fine grocery 46s to 48s 6d per cwt.
Crushed sugar in good demand for export at previous rates.
MAuniTrus.---This afternoon a greater demand exi3tea
for Mauritius Sugar, and full rates were obtained. In
auction 12,600 bags were nearly all disposed of ; low to
mid yellow at 34s to 35s Gd, good to fine 36s to 37s 6d ;
fine brown 33s Gd to 345, good 32s 6d to 335, refining from
33s to 36s 6d, and mid to good grainy yellow at 36s to 38s
per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This. afternoon there was no public sale
of Bengal, but privately several parcels of white Benares
were sold at last week's rates. Soft Madras is not much
wanted, and prices rather declined...at the public sales. Of
3,300 bags not above one-half sold: brown at 27s 6d to 295,
and yellow 29s to 31s Gd for ord to good. •
FOREIGN.—Since Saturday the amount of business con-
cluded in duty paid parcels of Foreign Sugar has been
small. Floating cargoes, however, met with more atten-
tion for the continental markets: two of yellow Havannah
have been sold at 23s for number 12, and one brown
Pariaba at 19s 6d, free of average. There has been no
public sale.
COFFEE.—To-day there was no public sale of any sort of
Coffee, and with the exception of Mocha few parcels are
declared. Opinion is yet unfavorable towards Native
Ceylon, and rates rather incline downwards ; small sales
made privately of new import at 47s 6d. to 48s, old 47s ;
and about 500 bags very low ; old import at 45s 6d. The
currency is firm for Plantation, with a good. home trade
demand ; but shippers are not much inclined to operate.
Mocha is neglected, and rates are on the decline. In other
sorts of Coffee little is doing, and a decline is expected.
CHICORY.—There is no decided reduction stocks hero
being held by few parties; but demand is evidently on the
decrease. Prices for root rule for York at 141. to 161.,
Guernsey 131. lOs to 161., and Foreign, duty paid, at 311. to
321. per ton.

TEA.—At present low to good ord Congou is not much
required, still the market is firm at 104 d to lOid per lb. for
sound, with a limited supply. Other sorts fully support
previous terms, and there is a good demand from home
dealers ; the quantity on offer is not larger. Prices for ra-
ther blackish leaf to blackish leaf rule at lld to is 9d, and
choice is 10d. to 2s 2d. The previous advance is well
maintained for green, and operations continue to import-
ance, whilst the quantity at market is less than previously,
especially of good to fine. To-day there was not much
passing privately in Tea, still the confidence of holders is
unshaken. At public sale 120 pkgs fine green sold at stiff
rates.
RICE.—To-day the market for East India rice presented
a dull aspect. At auction 2,703 bags Bengal were taken
in at lOs to lOs Oct for mid to good mid white, and ord at
10s. Of Madras 2,407 bags sold at 3c per cwt decline ; low
pinkey at 8s 6d, mid 8s 6d, mid 8s 6d to 9s, and good 9s to
9s 6d.
COCHINEAL.—To-day Cochineal again met with much
attention, and realised full terms. At auction 113 bags
Honduras sold at 4s to 4s 6d for low to very good silvers,
and pasty at 3s 6d per lb.
INDIGO.—At present there is not much demand for East
India either for shipping or home consumption, yet mer-
chants are firm, and will not sell, excepting at an advance
on last quarterly sale's rates of 2d to 3d per lb. Spanish
is held firmly; at present demand is limited ; Guatimala,
Flores at 5s id to 6s, Sobres 4s 5d to 55 7d, Cortes 3s to
4s 4d, and Caraccas 3s 2d to 5s 10(1 per lb.
LAC DYE.--Supply exceeds demand, nd prices are on
the decline for lower sorts ; at present there is no alteration
for good or fine. The currency for DT is 2s ld to 2s 2d,
B Mirzapore is 11d, other factory marks is to 2s 3d, and
low to fine Native 2,4 d to 10,1 per lb.
TALLOW.—For Russian here there is a firm market, with
a good demand for consumption, and 45s 3d to 45s 6d per
cwt. is the value of fine yellow candle. A large business
has been concluded for delivery in last three months of the
year at 45s 6d to 45s 9d, and the market has a firm aspect.
Of home melted production is still decreasing, and the
currency is higher ruling at 46s cash. Other sorts of
tallow brought an advance.
OILS.—In Seal purchases have been immaterial, with
sellers of pale at 341. to 341. 10s. In Cod there is yet
little doing, and 331. 10s the nearest value. Southern is
held for 351. to 361. lOs for good to fine, and low to mid
321. 10s to 341, yet little is doing. The reluctance to
operate in Linseed Oil continues, and prices keep on the
decline, production being large. Gallipoli at 691. 10s to
71/, and other sorts 65/. to 681. 103. Cochin at 40s to 41s.
In Palm many contracts have been entered into, and 32s
to 33s 6d paid for middling to fine. Lard Oil offering at
60s to 61s, and with few buyers. To-day Linseed Oil met
with a brisker demand at 27s Oct to 28s on the spot, and at
23s 6d to 29s for forward delivery.
