MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Neu, London Price Current of Dec. Is.)
SUGAR.-Although the importers of British Plantation have
submitted to a reduction on last week's rates of Is. for the
mid. and good yellow qualities, and ls. 6d. to 2s. on the ord.
and brown descriptions, still the demand has been extremely
moderate, and the business done has been less than has bee:l
the case for several weeks; the quantity which has been dis-
posed of only amounts to 1,000 hhds. and trs., the chief part
of which has been taken by the grocers; the importation dur-
ing the past eleven months has been 4,640 hhds. and trs. less
than it was last year, but owing to the falling off in the home
deliveries this season, to the extent of 25,000 hhds. and trs.,
the stock now greatly exceeds that of 1835, as shown by our
statement ; the lowest point of the market for low brown is 525.
The stock of West India Sugars is now 34,565 hhds. and
trs., being 7,180 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is now 25,322 bags, which is 13,915 less than last year (in-
cluding the East India Dock). The delivery of West India
last week was 1,705 hhds. and trs., which is 674 less than last
year. The delivery of Mauritius was 2,074 bags, being 3,020
less than the corresponding week of last year, (including the
East India Dock.)
This afternoon a public sale of 119 hhds. Barbadoes was
brought forward, which went off without spirit at 625. 6d. a
665. 6d, for good and fine, being 6d. cheaper for the former
quality, but last sale's prices for the latter. There was more
demand by private contract from the grocers or refiners, the
importers having submitted to a reduction on Friday's rates of
6d., but the buyers have not taken more than 600 hhds. and
trs., including the Barbadoes; very good new brown Demerara
has been sold at 545.

The Refined trade is still in a very depressed state, and prices
continue rapidly on the decline, notwithstanding the short
supply of goods at market ; several of the refiners still re-
frain from working, whilst others are only partially so. The
business done in the home as well as in the export qualities
has been extremely moderate, at a decline of Is. 6d. to 2s.—
find Crushed having been sold at 355., Lumps entitled to the
double bounty at 765., and good grocery rather under the stan-
dard at 755. Treacle has given way I s. to 2s. Bastards hang
heavy on hand, at the prices quoted. In Dutch business has
been done, 345. to 345. 6d. paid for small parcels.
This afternoon there appears to be more disposition evinced
on the part of the shippers to do business at 355. to 355. 6d.
for double Crushed, and the Market continues very bare of
goods ; from the grocers there is scarcely any request, but at
lower prices there are not sellers.
MAURITIUS.—The Market has been in a dull state, and the
trifling parcels taken by private contract have been at a de-
cline corresponding with that of British plantation ; at public
sale a small parcel sold at 545. to 555. Gd. for ord. yellow.
There has been an arrival of 5,100 bags of the new crop.
EAST INDIA.—The Market for Bengal has been extremely
languid, shippers as well as the grocers purchasing with ex-
treme caution at a reduction on last week's rates of Is. 6d. ;
at auction 1,634 bags went at 30s. to 30s. 6d. for mid. white,
damps 28s. 6d. to 305., sound mid. and good yellow 225. to
245., brown mid, and good 18s. to 215., damp and damaged
18s. to 21s. Manilla is cheaper; a sale of 800 to 900 bags
has been made at 235. for low and mid. yellow. In Siam
there has been nothing done, there being no buyers but at re-
duced prices ; and of Java no sales arc reported.
FOREIGN.—There has been an improved request for yellow
Havannah, and the prices remain firm ; the private sales have
been 600 chests, fine at 305., fair and good mid. 28s. 6d. to
to 295. ; with the exception of there having been some enquiry
after the strong white qualities of Brazil at rather lower rates,
and at which there are not sellers, nothing "else has occurred
MoLAssss.—The transactions in West India have been li-
mited, and at rather lower prices; the sales are small parcels
of mid. Demarara at 255., and fair St. Vincents at 245. to
255. The total deliveries of West India Molasses from the
warehouses for home use for the week ending December 10th
amount to 2,181 cwt.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.--The importers require
fully late prices for Rum, but there has been less disposition

- -
evinced on the part of the home buyers to purchase ; the supply
at Market is now better than was the case last week ; the trans-
actions have been confined to very trifling parcels. Tile sale
for Brandy has been moderate. In Geneva the purchases have
been limited.
TEA.-The Free Trade Sales commenced yesterday, at
prices which are about in proportion with the Company's
viz.:-Common Congous, lid. a 11.-}d. ; Blackish leaf kind
ditto, Is. 4d. a Is. ; Blackish leaf strong ditto, 24. a 20.

of those which yesterday passed auction, have been sold.
The sale began again this morning, and has gone off much
the same as yesterday as to prices, with the exception of
ord. Congous, which are id. cheaper ; and Hyson Skin, 4d.
a sd. Canton Boheas have been withdrawn, the importers not
being inclined to sell at present prices. Fokien Boheas have
sold readily at 2s. 74d. a 2s. 84(1. Congous, ord., lid.;
blackish leaf are as previously quoted. Twankays have been
mostly withdrawn at is. 44d. Hyson Skin sold at 10. a

TALLOW.—The Mat;ket has been in a very depressed state,
for consumption as well as for delivery, owing to the large ar-
rivals, 19 ships with 15,000 casks having arrived during the last
two days, and the prices have again given way, the nearest
quotation on the spot being 425. 6d. for P. Y. C., and 435.
for delivery in the spring months.
INDlGo.—There has been but little business in the East In-
dia descriptions, but in the prices there has been no change;
the quantity declared for sale in January is 700 chests. This
afternoon there is an improved request for East India at the
October rates. The total deliveries of Indigo from the ware-
houses for home consumption for the week ending December
10th, are 12,404 lbs. of East India, and 1,459 lbs. of West

fraction 3 per cent. British refined remains at 316. a 31s: 6d.

is lower. Linseed Oil heavy of sale at the reduced prizes
quoted. Rape has again given way in price, and the operations
have been extremely limited.

PROVISIONS.—There has been no change in the prices of
Irish Butter since our last report ; there has been a very good
business done for consumption, and owing to the light stock,
higher prices are expected. Dutch has been in recp.iest, and
the supplies having been short, the prices have advanced to
104 s. for fine Friezland, and 945. a 108 s. for Kiel and Hol-
stien. For Bacon there has been a good sale for parcels
landed, and the prices have slightly improved ; the arrivals con-
tinue short, and there is little offering for sale. For Lard
there has been an active request at previous prices. Hama
continue neglected. In India Mess Beef or Pork there IS
still very little business doing. The English and Foreign
Cheese trade still remain in an active state, but prices have
undergone no change.

tion were taken in at easy prices, middling at 575. a 575. 6d.,
and 535. for ordinary. The arrivals of black Pepper have
been very extensive; the business done has been to a limited
extent at easier prices—for white there is no request, and 62
bags at auction were taken in at 2s. Cloves remain firm in
price, but there has been little business done. Mace has been
in steady request at the quotations. The prices of Cinnamon
remain firm, but the purchases have been extremely trifling.
The buyers of East and West India Ginger have pumhased
cautiously, and a decline of 2s. has been submitted to for the
former ; at auction 207 bags Barbadoes were with irawn at
845.-592 bags Malabar found buyers at 30s. for goad quality
—330 bags Bengal at 265., and 34 brls. Jamaica at 61. Is. a
81. Bs. for middling and good. Nutmegs hang heavy on hand,
but at lower prices there ase no sellers.

FlRE.—This was thrown into much conster-
nation last Friday night by the breaking out of a fire la
the 'warehouse of Mr. Geo. Young, grocer, and wine. 1101),'
and spirit merchant, situate in the Trinity, in the rear eh,
and immediately adjoining to, the banking premises 0'
Messrs. Farley, Lavender, and Co. The flames were
.first discovered to be raging in the lower part of the build'
mg about twenty minutes past eight o'clock, and the alert"
speedily circulating through the city, the engines well
hastened to the spot, the police promptly on the alert, i!TP
a vast concourse of persons had assembled to render assist'
.ante. Some slight check arose at first to many approatlir
mg the burning building from the mention that a quanoti.
of gunpowder was deposited in an adjoining warehouse
but it having been soon ascertained that this bad been re;
moved to a place of safety on the first alarm, the u4.10°11
energy and exertion were immediately put in force on 5'
hands to subdue the raging element. It soon became 1
parent that the fire had existed some time before it dis-
closed itself, for on the door being burst open the. flanler
were found prevailing in an immense body in the lov!e
room, affording no hopes of the building or of any portion
of its valuable contents being rescued from ch.:struction•
Every effort was consequently directed to prevent the
conflagration extending to the adjacent premises, 6,13,
which, happily, was successful, but which was princiPlui
owing to the thick external walls of the warehouse. Abit
11 o'clock, the flames, having entirely gutted the war'o,
house in which they originated, and spent their fury o°l,
its contents, subsided, and all alarm of their further spref!l•;,
ing ceased. We fear, however, that though the calan%
was thus fortunately prevented extending to the n"11,„,
range at first threatened, it will prove that it has 0n76
sioned a considerable loss of property, not only in laying 'ct
building in ruins, but in the destruction of the goods flCi,
stores of which it was the deposit. These consisted en° to
pally of wine, spirits, hops, wool, and grocery, belonging.
Mr. Young and other individuals. Wool alone to the o
utit
lue of 1,000/. has been entirely lost, and hops to the aul°d,..
of 5001. To ascertain, however, the precise extent nlerty
wage, at present, is impossible, or what part of the poP
is insured.--IVorcester Herald.
