MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Nets London Price Current of last Night.)
SUGAR.—There was a pause in the demand for West India
Muscovades last week ; there was no general reduction in the
prices, but the trade was evidently affected by the large parcels
of Mauritius now and about to be brought forward. The
stock of West India Sugar is now 20,385 hhds. and trs., being
11,542 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius 42,860
bags, which is 8,491 less than last year. The delivery of West
India last week was 2,637 hhds. and trs., which is 151 less
than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is 5,048 bags, being
1,559 more than the corresponding week of 1835.
The Sugar Market opened this morning without any brisk-
ness, on account of the reported crops in the West Indies,
and also that the importers are generally anxious to secure
the present prices ; the buyers have evinced little disposition
to purchase on an extensive scale at present; the quantity
sold at the close of the Market was very limited indeed ; were
holders determined to sell to-day, lower prices must have been
submitted to. By public sale this day 101 lihds. Barbadoes
Sugar, low yellow to fine, sold 645. 6d. to 675. 6d., being
about 6d. lower.
The Refined Market became very heavy last week, and
lower offers were made for goods ; the prices were rather
lower.
The Refined Market remains rather quiet : this afternoon
there is a greater request for export ; Lumps to pass the
standard, which lately fell to 845., and since sold at 865., may
now be quoted 85s. as the nearest price.
MatTamus.—Above 13,000 bags were offered by public
sale last week, of the new crop of good quality, sold 635. to
695. ; the whole went off heavily, and the second sale about
6d. per cwt. lower.
EAST INDIA—Above 1,000 bags Manilla sold last week,
mid. quality 31s. to 325. 6d., being an advance of ls. 865
bags Siam, low to good white 355. to 38s. being full Market
prices. •

•
FOREIGN—The public sales last week consisted of 567 bags
white Havannah, 101 chests Bahia, and a large parcel of
Lumps or Loaves Lima Sugar (unrefined) ; the Havannah
was chiefly damaged, the sound soft quality sold 505., low
mid. damaged white 345. Gd. to 435. 6d. ; the Lima Sugar
was all bought in at 325. to 335., Lumps withdrawn at 245. ;
brown to yellow Bahia 265. 6d. to 295. 6d., white 375. to 38s.

At public sale this day 310 boxes white and 1,432 boxes yel-
low Havannah Sugar were offered ; the whites were all taken
in at 50s. ; a part of the yellow sold at 365. and 375. Average
price of Sugar, 2/. Os. 31d. per cwt.
MOLASSES,—The total deliveries of West India Molasses

from the warehouses for the weeks
.ending Jan. 16,.amount to
5,167 cwt.
COFFEE.-The British Plantation descriptions were rather
higher last week, the advance was Is. to 25., and a greater
disposition to:do business; about 500 bags.Samarang sold 525.
to 545. ; the Mocha did not find buyers. In Foreign Coffee
very few purchases were reported ; prices little varied.
By public sale this forenoon, 919 bags Ceylon sold 565. to
565. 6d. and 575., being about the previous market prices ;
2,285 bags Mysore sold also with briskness, chiefly 60s. to
665., the damaged taken for export ss. higher than the home
trade could give ; generally Coffee has gone off much better
than could be expected in the present languid state of the
market. The total deliveries of Coffee from the warehouses,
for the week ending Jan. 16, arc 132,954 lbs. of West India,
and 141,197 lbs. of East India.
COCOA.-The total deliveries of West India Cocoa from the
warehouses for the week ending 16th Jan. are 19,245 lbs.
Rem, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDE.-There is little business
doing in Rum, and the prices are little varied ; the late con-
tract, which was taken at 2s. 2d. to a fraction under 2s. 3d.,
appears to have had very little effect upon the Market. In
Brandy or Geneva there is no alteration to notice.
TALLOW.-The demand for Tallow is general and extensive;
the prices are still advancing, but the importers have met the
buyers very freely, and the purchases are very extensive.
IRISH PaovisioNs.-There was no business whatever tran-
spired in the Butter or Bacon market last week.
INDIOO.-There is no new feature in the Indigo market ;
the sales will commence on this day week, the 26th inst. The
total deliveries of East India Indigo from tho warehouses for
the week ending January 16, are 106,135 lbs.
.5,V00r..-The Market is very bare of all descriptions of
Wool, more so than has been the case for many years past;
there is no business to report, as the few purchases arc only
to supply the immediate wants of the trade ; the prices are
firm, and are likely to remain so for some time to come; pur-
chases to any extent cannot be made, except at very high rates.
Smx.-There has been a good business done in China
Silks at very full prices-Tsatlee may now be quoted 255., and
purchases to some extent are reported at that price.
COTTON.-The sales last week at Liverpool were very ex-
tensive, about 20,000 bags at rather better prices, but the alte-
ration is not material ; it has not affected this Market, as the
only demand here is for shipping, and the spring orders have
not re-commenced; the purchases since Friday are quite in-
considerable.
SPICES.-Result of the sales of, Cinnamon, 18th January :
-19 bales Ist sort sold at 9s. a 9s. 3d. per lb. ; 107 bales
second sort, 6s. Bd. a Bs. 7d. ; 639 bales third sort, ss. 4d. a

lb. higher; chests sold 4d. per lb. higher, according to com-
parative qualities of last sales.
In Pepper, Pimento and other articles, there is no alteration.
Hors.-The Market is very steady in price, with a fair de-
mand for consumption; all the choice and fine Hops will be
required ; brown Hops remain at the quotations of the begin-
nin of the season, and dull sale.
tms.-There is no change in the prices of Fish Oils, but
the demand has somewhat improved, and more business is
doing. Seed Oils are dull and lower in price. Olive Oils are
without animation, and the prices have a downward appearance.
TURPENTINE.-There are no further sales to report in
rough Turpentine. Spirits in steady demand.
METALS.-Iron has advanced 21. per ton, but the advance
has not generally been paid ; the price at Cardiff 10/., in
London 11/. Lead in London 211., in the country 201. ss.

quoted 161. 10s., and for delivery 15/.
TOBACCO.-The only purchase of Tobacco lately reported
is about 60 hhds. Virginia for export at 4d.

business is doing. Patras Currants at public sale were taken
in at 665. ; Cephalonia and Zante sold 58s. to 61s. Chesme
Raisins 38s. to 40s. damage.
TEA.- -Some conversation took place previously to the com-
mencement of the sales about the quantity being so much in-
creased, one broker having advertised 8,000 chests, and having
put 37,000 in his catalogue, which had produced such confu-
sion in the market.
