MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of last Evening.)
SUGAR.--The British Plantation Market exhibited a more
lively appearance during the past week than has been the case
for some time past; from both groce a and refiners there has
been a good and general demand, and fully previous rates have
been obtained for brown and yellow descriptions; the supply
of good and fine sorts of the latter continues very small, and
they are still much wanted for the scale ; on Wednesday the
private purchases amounted to 800 hhds and trs, on Thursday
to 900, and on Friday to 900, making the quantity sold for the
three days 2,600 hhds and trs, besides ll l hhds 37 trs 5 brls
Barbadoes at public sale, which sold gather briskly at former
prices, low to good quality brought 56s 6(1 to 62s 6d ; by pri-
este tree:), sales of fair to fine brown for the pan have been
made at 49s to 50s 6d, mid yellow 523 to 545, pad to fine
grocery 563 to 635. This afternoon the prices established on
Friday were fully supported the quantity sold privately
erneeettr4e to 400 'hogsheads and tierces ; besides 136 casks
Barbadoes at auction sold briskly at prices fully equal
to those of the last sale, fine went at 6'2s 6i to 631
good 61s to 625, good middling 59s Gd to dos 6d, mid-
dling 57s Gd to 595, ordinary s,as (id to 464 Gd per cwt. For
Refined goods there 'lee Leen a beat t' demand for shipping.
tied fell pric-.2s have been obtained ; in doubie Crushed the
purchases have been 500 hhds at 33s 6,1, and some small pa
eels of 101 b liamburg loaves at 375. The demand from the
grocers, however, for the common descriptions of goods, has
been only for small parcels, but lower rates have not been
accepted, sales in brown lumps of the old fashioned m ke
have been made at 67s to 6es, and rather better on the rew
principle at 70s; the better kinds have been taken more freely,
and business to a fair extent has been transacted at viiler
prices, 743 6d a 75s paid fer Lumps passine, and 733 for those
rather under the standard. Bastards above 48s hale sod to a
fair extent at previous quotations, but the operations in those
under that figure have been trivial. Candy as last qt oted
Dutch Crushed Sugar has been in request, and sales to ti e
extent of 200 hhds have been made at 32s per cat. This
afternoon there was a goad demand from the grot ers for goods
at and above 80s ; other kinds in steady request at previous
rates; double Crushed continue in demand at 33s tad per cwt.
NiAortyrius,—The buyers have evinced a better disposition
to do business; 1,3' s at public sale, the p:incipal por-
tion of which corea. of extremely low brown sorts, these
sold readily rather ,ove the general valuations, and were
taken chiefly by the shippers at 42s Gd ter 445, the brigi t
grocery kinds went at Gd advanoe, but there was only one lot
with any colour, and this brought 57s 6J, low mid sold at
52s Gd, and low mid strong gray at 51s Gd. This afternoon,
1,625 bags at public sale sold steadily, and brought full prices
for the mid and best yellow sorts, but inferior kinds in some
instances went rather easier, very low brown sold at 42s to
43s 6d, mid to good 47s to 403. low to mid yellow 50s Gd to
52s 6d, good mid 53s Gd to 553, good 58s, one lot fine 63s 6d.
