MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—There is little improvement in the home trade
demand for colonial, and although supplies have been less
than for some time past, still rates are barely supported
for inferior qualities, and better can be obtained at pre-
vious terms. Foreign is yet plentiful, and not being much
required, prices• have been barely maintained. Demand
has decreased for floating cargoes for all purposes, and
and sellers are willing to accept previous valuations.
REFINED.—.--A good home trade demand has been expe-
rienced for refined sugar, and supply having decreased,
some advance has been obtained. Sales of brown lumps at
435, tillers low to fine, 43s 6d to 48s Gd, double 49s to 50s,
Hambro loaves 44s to 49s Gd, and double 50s to 51s. Of
foreign refined several arrivals have taken place, still
the market has been nearly cleared.
MAURITIUS.—The excess in stock compared with this
time last year is 21900 tons. For good to fine yellow and
grainy there aro several buyers ; still previous terms are
not exceeded. In inferior and brown rather more has been
done, yet there are sellers at, former prices. Including
parcels at auction transactions for the week ending yester-
day were 6,000 bags at the following' terms :—low to mid
brown at 25s to 27s Gd, good to fine 28s to 30s, low to good
yellow 30s 6d to 35s Gd, fine 36s to 37s 6d, low to fine grey
285 to 355, grainy, yellow, 35s to 40s 6d, white 41s to 42s
Gd, and brown 29s to 311 per cwt.
EAST INDlA..—Native Madras can be obtained at previ-
ous terms, still purchases have been on a small scale ; brown
at 24s to 27s 3d, and yellow 28s to 31s. In grocery, how-
ever, rather more has been done at 32s to 38s. Grainy
yellow is wanted at 35s to 40s, and white 40s 6d to 425;
but few parcels arc on offer. Stock is about the same as
last year. The dulness in the market for Date Bengal con-
tinues.

FOREIGN.—The market for duty paid has presented an
inactive appearance all the week, some decline has taken
place for brown and low ; but better sorts have supported
previous terms. Of 1,390 hhds 180 tierces and 480 brls
Cuba in public sale rather more than one-half found buyers,
brown at 27s Gd to 31s, yelow 31s 6,1 to 375; 400 chests
Havannab, yellow 34s to 38s.
COFFEE.—Native Ceylon is not cheaper, still 1093 de-
mand exists, and supply is rather more plentiful. At
auction 1,880 bags were sold at 45s for good order, and
damaged 42s 6d to 4ls Gd.
MOLASSES.—Prices remain firm, and several parcels
have been sold ; Antigua at 14s Gd to 15s 3d, other sorts
of West India 13s to 14s 6,1, Cuba 13s 6d to 13s 9d, Bengal
and Mauritius 13s to 13s 6d. There is still a larger stock
than at this time last year. A better demand for honey ;
Narbonne, fine at 70s to 80s; Cuba, low to fine 22s to 30s;
and Jamaica 28s to 655. Few buyers of Tamariads, and
sellers are willing to accept for East India lOs to 13s, and
West India 25s to 55s per cwt.
OILS.--There is now a quiet market for linseed oil, and
rates are less firm, ruling at 33s to 33s 3d on the spot.
Rape oil is less wanted, and th.ere are sellers of pale at 465,
brown 43s Gd to 445. Palm sells slowly at 44s to 46s for
mid to fine quality. Only a moderate demand for cocoa
nut, Cochin at 50s 6d to 51s, and Ceylon 49s to 50s. In
olive many purchases have boon made, and tho market has
a firm aspect, Gallipoli reali: ;es 571. to 581. and other sorts
sorts 521. to 56/. Seal is waisted, and rates aro well kept
up, pale selling at 411. 10s to 421., and other sorts 371. to
401. In cod several sales at. 40/. lOs to 41/. Southern is
wanted and 424 to 43/. is paid. A large demand exists for
sperm, and 1041. to 1051. paid for good to fine. Teel seed
and ground nut oil sells slowly at 43s to 44s per cwt. The
value of lard oil is 51s to 53s pe'r cwt.
TALLOW.—The St. Petersburg advices having again
given intimation of a larger qua ntity being sent forward
than had been anticipated, has b rought speculative parcels
on the market, and prices have in consequence been again
depressed ; Y. C. having sold as low as G3s on the spot,
and oven rather under this price for the last three months.
These parcels having been cleared off. The market im-
proved towards the close, and last night the quotations
were G3s Gd. to 63s Oct on the spot, and 63s Gd for the last
three months ; in short there has been little done, the un-
certain state of the market having stood in the way of
transactions, home melted is 62s to 62s 6d cash.
