MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 17.)
SUGAR.—To-dzy prices ruled firm for West India
Sugar, and a good business was concluded, but chiefly
by refiners. At auction 15 hhds 6 trcs Jamaica were
sold, middling yellow at 38s 6d, low 375, and good
brown at 36s per cwt. The quantity sold amounted to
420, making for the week 2,450 hhds, &c. In prices
there is scarcely any variation as compared with those
current on Friday last
REFINED.—Te-dayformer rates were well supported for
refined goods, and home trade dealers were desirous to
make purchases; indeed the supply of lumps from 49s
to 50s per cwt is not sufficient for their wants. The
market for Bonded Crushed Sugar remains in a firm
p oeition.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity submitted
to public sale amounted to 6,265 bags, and nearly the
whole sold at full rates ; fine yellow went at 39s 6d to
41s, middling and good 36s to 395, low 36s 6:1 to 3'.'s 6d,
fine brown 35s to 365, inferior 31s to 33s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with
little attention, and 1,500 bags at public sale sold at full
rates; fine and good white Benares went at 40s 6d to
43s 6d, middling 39s 6d to 409.
FORVIGN.—Tc-day tht re was not a more active de-
mand for Foreign Sugar by private treaty for home use
or exportation, still holders were firm, and for bonded
parcels full rates were asked. At public sale 300 chests
Bahia were offered, and sold at 17s 6d to 28s 6d for brown
and middling yellow. Of Porto Rico 278 hhds 125 brls
duty paid went at 38s to 39s for ordinary yellow, and at
40s to 42s per cwt for better sort.
COFFEE.—This afternoon a fair demand existed for
Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and full rates are paid. A
public sale of 42 casks 370 bags went at from 47s 6d to
57s for tine fine ordinary and middling. The market for
Native has a quiet aspect, but sellers will not accept less
than 36$ 6d per cwt. for good ordinary.
COCOA.—A decrease is visible in the demand for West
India this week, and prices have given way fully is per
cwt; the market also continues to be well supplied with
the lower sorts. At auction 424 bags of Trinidad
were only in pert disposed of at 38s to 40s for grey,
and 40s to 45s for fair to good red; 100 pkgs of Grenada
went at 36s 6d to 40s per cwt. Prices aro not expected
to rule much lower, although the stock is far greater
tha❑ at this time in the former year. Foreign met with
little attention, and is offered at 26s 6d to 286 6d per
cwt; there is also no felling off in the stock, and lower
rates are likely to exist.
MOLASSES.—No further decline is visible in the value
of West India, still tho business concluded has been
limited by private treaty at from 16s to 19s for low to
fine. East India Treacle met with a slow sale at 15s to
16s per cwt. and a reduction is expected to take place ;
there is a fair supply. For Honey better prices have
been obtained.

TEA.—In Congou operations have been upon a larger
scale this week, and stiffer rates have been obtained for
all sorts; a further advance is also likely to take
place. Sales of common and good common have
been made at Bid to 9d, mixed blackish leaf
Sid to lOid, blackish leaf 11d to is cid, ditto
strong is ld to Is 3id, fine and Pekoe flavor is 4d to
Is tOd per lb. Green is held with firmness, at fully
former terms, and the business concluded has been of a
satisfactory nature. There are not ready sellers upon
the rates of this day week, for the lower sorts the de-
mand continues to be the most active. At public sale
21,300 pkgs have been offered this week, and 4,000 pkgs
found bu)ers.

to aid, heavy 3d to 34-cl, inferior *1 to 28d, Sumatra
