MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

From the London Yew Price Current of this day.)

SUGAR.—There has been a steady demand for West
India, especially for the grocery and refining sorts. Bar-
badoes, at auction, sold at 36s 6d to 37s for mid to good
yellow, at 87s for fine, and at 30s Gd to 37s for low. De-
merara found buyers at 31s to 47s 6d for crystalised low to
good, and at 32s to 33s Gd for brown. Mauritius was
taken in at 32s to 33s per cwt. for low to mit' yellow. In
Madras not much has been done, and Bengal, at auction,
went heavily at 38s to 38s 6d for mid, white Benares at
37s 6d for damp, and at 31s Gd to 31s for ord to good like
Mauritius. Privately, there has been some inquiry for
Brazil. Yellow Havannah brought steady prices, viz.,
mid to fine bright yellow 33s 6(1. to 365, grey and low yel-
low 32s to 34s 6d, good and fine brown 31s to 325, washed,
30s to 375, and damaged 30s 6d. to 43s 6d, but fiorettes
were taken at 37s to 395. Bahia was held at high values,
low to mid soft white being taken in at 33s Gd to 345,
damp at 33s to 345, and low foxy to good brown at 28s 6d
to 30s Gd per cwt. Refined brown lumps ruled at 42s Gd
to 435, and grocery at 43s to 49s per cwt.
COFFEE—The market generally has been dull. Planta-
tion Ceylon, at public sale, realised 56s to 57s for low mid
to mid, 53s to 55s for fine to f fine ord, 51s to 578 Gd for f
fine ord, and small to mid colory bold 45s for good ord
brownish, 41s to 503 6d for triage, and 59s to 64s Gd for
peaberry. Native Ceylon has been heavy at 45s to 46s for
good and fine ord. Rio has been taken at 42s to 44s per
cwt. Bahia went at 40s Gd to 43s for ord to good ord.
Ricx.---The market has been dull in the absence of
public sales. White Bengal has been at 15s 3d to 16s 6d,
and good pinking Madras was at 14s to 14s Gd per cwt.
SPlCES.—Pimento realised 5d to sid for mid and good,
and 5d for good ord per lb. Malabar pepper sold at pre-
vious values. African ginger brought 23s for mid rough
coated. Zanzibar cloves sold at sid to sid for ord dark
to good, and 3d to 544 d for damaged.
TEA.—Not much has been done ; common to good sound
congon has been sold at 9/d to 10(1 per lb.
SALTPETRE.—The better kinds have met with a readier
sale at firm rates. Bengal low, 9i lbs, brought 24s ' • mid,
74 ibs, 26. • and good, 5 lbs' 29s per cwt. Calcutta, low
to fine quality, 23. 64 to 29s per cwt; and Bombay, 8i to
9 lbs, 20s 6d to 23d 6d per cwt.
Cooinwm—There has been an advance of ld per lb.
Honduras blacks, mid and good selling at 4s to 4s 6d, sil-
vers ord to good bold pea green at 3s 2d to 3s, and Teneriffe
silvers at 3s 5d to 3s 74 per lb, .

TALLOW—This article is a,• little firmer, being 63s 6d to
63s 9d per owt. on the spot.
GREEN FRUIT—A brisk trade is doing, owing to the
Christmas holidays. Two cargoes oranges at St. Michael,
sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, sustained the ad-
vance of late. Lemons scarce, parcels have been purchased
at Liverpool for the London market. A fleet of fruit ships
are due, the bad weather off the coast of Spain and Portu-
gal, as well as in the Channel, has checked arrivals, the
want of which is felt at this season of the year.
