MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 16.)
SUGAR.—To-day the proceedings in the Raw Sugar
market were of a satisfactory nature, and it is quite
evident that prices have not yet arrived at their highest
point, as the demand for all purposes continues to get
greater. West India was in excellent request for
home trade purposes, and in some cases the rates ob-
tained are rather above those of Friday. At public
:,ale 143 hhds 7 trcs Barbadoes went readily at firm,
and in some instances at better rates; fine yellow re-
alised 41s to 41s 6d, good 39s to 40s 6d, low and mid-
dling 36s 6d to 38s 6d. 150 hhds 7 trcs 73 brls Trinidad,
low yellow 36s 6d to 375, middling 38s, fine and pod
brown 35s 6d to 365, middling 355, low 345 6d. 46 hhds
St. Lucia, low yellow 365, good brown 35s to 35s 6d,
and very low dark 335. The total quantity of Sugar sold
to-day amounted to 940 hhds and trcs. Some holders
will not sell at present rates.
REFINED.—To-day former rates were well supported
for Refined goods, and the home trade were desirous to
make purchases. It is difficult to buy Standard Lumps
under 505 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is selling at
28s 6d to 295, and in some cases fine is held for 30s.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there were eight public
sales of Bengal Sugar. consisting of 10,494 bags, when
a good demand was experienced, and the chief portion
sold upon full terms. Of Madras 3,559 bags were sold;
good soft yellow 345, middling and low 31s to 335, ordi-
nary to good brown 28s 6d to 29s 6d, and fine 30s 6d to
31s per cwt.
MAURITIUS to-day was in excellent demand, and the
public sales of 6,935 bags went off with spirit at fully
former terms; indeed mid yellow and strong grey realised
6d per cwt advance.
FOREIGN.—To-day several inquiries existed for Fo-
reign Sugar, but there are still few sellers. By private
treaty 200 tons low brown Manilla, in bond, at 14s 3d
to 14s 9d. Small parcels of Havannah at 40s 6d for mid
yellow, and at 38s 6d for brown. There was no public
sale to-day.
MOLASSES.—There are many buyers of West India,
but holders asking much higher rates, operated mate-
rially against business. The value of low to fine quality
is from 16s to 19s per cwt.
COYPEE.—This afternoon there was less disposition
manifested to do business in Native Ceylon, still lower
rates were not acceded to. Of 1,650 bags offered at
public sale, a small part only sold upon former terms;
real good ordinary went at 355, good ordinary 34s to
34s 6d, damaged 30s to 33s 6d, and fourth class in bad

condition 24s 6d. For Plantation the demand fell off,
and of 1,965 bags 180 casks put up to the hammer, a
small part only sold at rather lower rates.
COCOA,—West India is more in favour for home con-
sumption, and stiffer rates are obtained. At auction
400 pkgs Trinidad were sold; low to fine grey at 39s to

supported. Deliveries are large, and stock moderate.
