MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Pric3 Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—To-clay West India sugar was not offered under
the rates of Friday; but there was only a limited demand
from grocers or refiners, and supply is evidently on the in-
crease. At auction 180 hds tierces Barbadoes went at
prices on a par with those of Friday; fine yellow selling at
395, mid to good 35s to 37s 6ci, low 3454 to 34s 6d, and
brown 32s to 333 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.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon a greater demand existed
for Mauritins Sugar, and full -rates were obtained. In
auction 12,600 bags were nearly all disposed of ; low to
mid yellow at 34s to 35s 6d, good to fine 36s to 37s 6d ;
fine brown 33s 6d 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
3,306 bags not above one-half sold : brown at 27s 6d to 295,
and yellow 29s to 31s 6d 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 Cd to 48s, old 47s ;
and about 500 bags very low ; old import at 45s fid. 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 here
being held by few paities ; 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 oid Congou is not much
required, still the market is firm at 104 d to 10/d 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 lid to is 9d, and
choice is 10c1 to 2s 2d. The previous advance is well
maintained for green, and operations continue to import-
ance, whilst the quantity at musket 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 6d 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 Gd, mid 8s 6d, mid 8s Gd 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 Sd to 6s, Sobres 4s 5d to 53 7d, Cortes 3s to
4s 4d, and Caraccas 3s 2d to 5s 10d per lb.
LAO DYE.---Supply exceeds demand, and 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 2,1,d to 10d 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 45s cash. Other sorts of
tallow brought an advance. _ _

Seal purchases have been immaterial, with
sellers of pale at 341. to- 341. 10s. In Cod there is yet
little doing, and 331. lOs the nearest value. Southern is
held for 351. to 361. lOs for good to fine, and low to mid
321. lOs 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. lOs to
711, and other sorts 651. 631. 10s. Cochin at 40s to 41s.
In Palm many contracts have been entered into, and 32s
to 33s Gd paid for middlinf, to fine. Lard Oil offoring
at
60s to 61s, and with few buyers. To-day Linseed Oil met
with a brisker demand at 27s 9d to 28, on the spot, and at
28s Gd to 29, for forward delivery.
