MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 30.)
SUGAL—To-day importers of West India Sugar were
again willing sellers, and submitted to rather lower rates,
making the decline for the week 6d to is per cwt. The
purchases amounted to 770 hhds, &c., including 130
hhds Barbadoes at public sale, which went at 39s 6d to
41s for fine, and at 36s to 39s for low to good yellow.
245 hhds 3 trcs 73 brls St. Lucia ; fine yellow 39s 6d to
41s, low to good 36s 6d to 38s per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day the limited business concluded in
Refined goods by home dealers was at rather lower rates,
and sales of brown lumps were made at 48s to 48. 6d
per cwt. The market for bonded crushed Sugar is quiet,
but prices are not lower. _ _

MADRITIUS.—This afternoon the public sales of 1,762
bags Mauritius Sugar went off at prices rather in favour
of buyers; good and fine yellow sold at 38s to 395, mid-
dling 37s to 37s 6d, low 36s to 36s 6d, middling to fine
brown 33s 6d to 35s 6d, inferior 31s to 32s 6d, and very
ordinary 29s to 30a 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the biddings were lan-
guid at the public sales of 1,973 bags Bengal Sugar, and
former rates were not generally supported, but nearly
the whole sold; low white went at 38s to 38s Gd, mid-
dling to good 39s to 41s, fine 41s Gd to 42s 6d, fair and
fine soft yellow 35s to 37s 6d, and ordinary 34s to 345 6d
per ewt.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was not a better demand for
Foreign Sugar for export, and home dealers made
purchases with caution in all sorts. The demand for
refining in bond was also trifling. Of 114 hhds 178
brls St. Croix offered at public sale, a part only sold; good
and fine yellow at 41s to 435, and very fine at 43s 6d to
44s per cwt, which are rather lower rates.
MOLASSES.—III West India the purchases made have
been small of all sorts, and prices are still on the decline;
the supply is also greatly larger. The value of low to
fine is from 16s to 18s 6d per cwt. Only small pur-
chases have been made in Bengal Treacle, and a desire
is evinced to sell at 15s to los 6d per cwt. Honey can
be purchased at rather lower rates.
COCOA.—Fine red West India is still in excellent
demand, and former rates are well supported. At public
sale 210 bags 107 brls Trinidad were in part sold ; fine
and superior red at 45s to 50s 6d, inferior and good
39s to 445, and grey 38s 6d to 42s 6d per cwt. 01
Grenada 38 bags were withdrawn. The market for Fo-
reign has still a quiet aspect ; and at auction 180 bags
Bahia were taken in at 29s per cwt for fine red, but grey
of ordinary quality is only worth 268 6d to 27s per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the demand for Ceylon
Coffee was active, and the public sales of 1,846 bags and
460 casks went at fully former rates; native good ord
38s 6d to 395, plantation good 65s to 74s 6d, middling
58s to 625, other sorts 48s to 575, and inferior 43s to 475.
Of Java 242 bags went at 39s to 44s for Singapore.
2,997 bags Rio, good ord 32s 6d to 33s 6d, fine ord 36s
to 375; and 621 bags St. Domingo at 37s to 37s 6d per
cwt. 1,100 bags East India sold. Sumatra, 395; Pa-
dang, 32s 6d to 33s 6d; and Batavia, 34s to 355.
TEl.—There has been a large business concluded in
black this week, and for the lower descriptions rather
higher rates have been paid; the better sorts realised
fully former terms. Congou of ordinary sound quality
is not to be purchased under 9d per lb. Former prices
are well kept up for green, and the demand for all
sorts is getting larger. On the part of holders
there is also firmness. No public sale is at present de-
clared and the quantity on offer privately is less
the former week of both black and green. A
busi-
ness has been concluded in other sorts of Tea at fully
faitrhanln
former terms.
6PICES.—To•day at public sale 617 bags Sumatra
Pepper were only in part sold at 2d to 2id, and at 2kd
to 2-ad for damaged.
RICE.—To-day full rates were asked for East India
Rice, but not much desire was evinced to operate. At
auction 4,005 bags and 1,486 pkts were only in part sold
at 9s. to lOs for mid and good mid white, whilst a small
parcel of broken yellow was taken in at is 6d to 8s per
cwt.

FRUIT.—The demand for Currants at the late ad-
vance continues very brisk, particularly for fine decrip-
dons. The prices now range from 35s to 40s. Valencia
Raisins have been selling all the week at 395, but to-
day they have been sold at 40s.
COCIIINEAL.--Of the parcels offered at public sale
amounting to 440 bags not above half sold, llonduras
silvers at from 3s 8d to 4s 4d, black 3s 7d to 5s Id,
Mexican silvers 3s 6d to 3s Bd, and black 3s 7d to 49
per lb. A parcel of Tenerifle was taken in at 3s 10d fir
silvery black.
SPIRIT s.—The demand for Leeward Island Rum is
still limited, and there are sellers at 15 4kd to Is 5d
proof. East India can be obtained at is 3d to is 31d, as
there is a fair supply at market. Demerara 30 to 40 per
cent over proof from 2s to 2s 3d. In the value of Jamaica
there are sellers of 20 to 29 per cent over proof at 2s to 2s 6d,
30 to 36 over 2s 7d to 3s, and superior sorts 3s 2d to 4s.
Brandy has further advanced in value. We quote Cog-
nac best brands of the vintage of 1848 at 3s 1 Id to 4s ]d,
1847 do 4s 6d to 49 Bd, 1846 do 5s 8d to 5s 10d, 1845 do
5s lOd to 6s, inferior sorts 2. 6d to 33 10d, and Bor-
deaux 2s 2d to 2s 3d. The market is still firm for
Geneva at is 9d to Is 10d for ordinary, and at 25 3d to
3s 3d for fine for duty. British made Spirits is still in
good demand at 9s Bd, and Gin at 8s to 85 6d for 17 to
22 per cent under proof.
INDIGO.—The quantity of East India declared for
public sale on the 9th of October already amounts to the
large quantity of 17,545 chests, and will be further in-
creased. There has been little disposition on the part
of shippers or home dealers to do business this week, and
last sale's rates are now obtainable for only stnalhlelotes;
an impression exists that prices will declines t t e
oOrs-
tober sale, unless strong support is given by pptri t
SALTPETRE.—To-day the market for Sawitpereerteaen
pre-
sented a quiet aspect, and rather lower rates taken.
