MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of Nov. 11.

SUGAR.—The grocers still continue in most cases unwilling
purchasers of West India raw Sugar, and the refiners still con-
tinuing generally to refrain from purchasing, we have experienced
a very dull Market (the sales not exceeding 300 hhds. daily),
the business done being only sufficient to supply the immediate
wants of the buyers, and has been chiefly for the sorts suitable
for the scale ; still the importers have been firmer in their de-
mands this week than they were last, and have iu most cases re-
fused to sellexcepting at fully former rates, and even in some
cases stiffer prices are required by the holders ; several of the im-
porters have withdrawn their Sugars from the Market at present;
but in a few instances a reduction on the rates of this day week of
6d. has been submitted for the ord. brown qualities ; a public
sale of 111 hhds Barbadoes went at full market rates, but at a
decline of 4s. a ss. on the last public sale, which occurred on
the 11th of October, good and fine yellow selling at 645. 6d. a
695. ; 30 hhds. of Demerara went at 61s. 6d. a 625. for mid.
grey ; sales privately of dry brown Sugars made at 605., ra-
ther coloury Jamaica and St. Kitt's at 625. 6d. a 635. mid.
yellow Antiguas and Grenades 635. 6d. a 645., and fair and
good 655. a 675. ; the deliveries for consumption are still less
than last year; only 2,144 hhds., trs., &c. have reached this
port since our last report ; no public sale of Barbadoes is at
present advertised.
This afternoon there were offered at public sale 40 hhds.
Barbadoes, 47 hhds. 3 barrels St. Vincent's, and 11 hhds.
2 trs. 44 barrels Tobagotall of which found buyers at fully the
present rates of the market; Barbadoes fine sold at 665. 61 a
675. 6d., good mid. 645. 6d. a 655. ; St. Vincent's good mid.
yellow 61s. 6d. a 625. 6d. ; Tobagoes mid. yellow 61s. a 625.
This afternoon the holders are very firm in requiring fully
the prices of the previous day, but there was very little request
either from the grocers or refiners, and the quantity dispo,ei
privately during the week does not exceed 1,500 hhds. and trs.
There is still great inactivity in the Market for all descrip-
tions of Refined goods, the grocers and shippers purchasing
with extreme caution, and the refiners have again submitted to
a further reduction in prices ; sales of Lumps to pass the
standard made at 825., and 41s. for double Crushed ; Bas-
tards are extremely dull of sale, and offered at reduced
rates ; Treacle continues neglected, but cannot be purchased
on easier terms. Dutch Crushed is offered at rather lower
prices, but at present there has been nothing done.
This afternoon there is still great heaviness in the Refined
trade, grocers and shippers keeping, excepting in one or two
cases, out of the Market altogether, and rather lower prices

have again been accepted for Double Crushed ; sales made

at 40s. 6d. a 41s.
MAURITIUS.-The Market continues in a languid state, par-
ticularly for the ord. descriptions, and the prices arc still on
the decline ; by private contract there has been scarcely any
demand, and only a part of the 1,292 bags offered at public
sale found buyers at a reduction on the prices of the last sale
ef 4s. for the brown, and ls. a ls. 6d. decline for the yellow
descriptions, low brown sold at 435. 6d. a 445., good brown
495. a 535., low mid. yellow 61s. 6d. a 625. 6d., good yellow
655. 6d., greyish ord. yellow was taken in at 60s. 6d. a Gls.,
and good bright yellow at 645. Gd. a 655. ; there have been
no arrivals, and no public sales are declared.
EAST INDIA.-The Market for Foreign East India conti-
nues_
in a dull state, but the importers are not sellers of
either Manila, Siam, or Java at any reduction, and still re-
frain from offering any at public sale ; reduced prices have
been submitted to for Bengal, and there has been much busi
ness done by private contract, shippers and grocers being
both purchasers, but more particularly the latter ; 188 bags.aat
auction went at a reduction on previous rates of ,T,,s. 6d
2s. ; good white selling at 335. 6d, a 345. ; mid white but
damps 325.
FOREIGN.-There is still very little inclination evinced on
the part of the buyers to purchase either Brazil or Havannah,
but the accounts received from the Continental Markets be-
ing of a more favourable character, has given holders a better
opinion, and they have refused to sell excepting at fully the
rates of this day week ; there have been no public sales, and
the private purchases have been confined to 400 chests of
yellow Havannah at 2Ess. a 295. for mid. and good, and a
small parcel of ord. white Bahia at 28s. At Antwerp 5,000
bags Manilla have been sold, netting 21s. 6d. a 225.
MOLASSES.-There has been very little demand for West
India Molasses this week, and the present holders are inclined
to submit to a further decline in prices. 30s. has been ac-
cepted for 300 puns. fine Antigua, which is 2s. lower.
ROM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-For Rum there has been
a good request this week, more particularly for Leewards,
and prices fully equal to those of our last have been obtained ;
of Jamaicas about 200 puncheons have been taken, 29 to 30
per cent. over proof, at 4s. 9d., 31 to 33 over, 4s. 10d., 34 to
38s. over, 4s. 11d. a ss. ; the purchases of Leeward; have
amounted to 300 puncheons, proof to 1 over, at 2s. 7d. a
2s. 70., 2to 3 over, at 2s. Bd. a 2s. 84d., 5 to 7 over, 25.
9d. a 2s. 9id., Bto 10 over, 2s. 10d. a 2s. 11d., 11 to 13
over, 3s. a 3s. Id., 14 to 17 over, 3s. 2d. a 3s. 3d., 25 to 27
over, 4s. 4d. a 4s. 5d., 28 to 30 over, 4s. 6d., 31 to 33 over,
4s. 7d.. 35 to 38 over, 45. Bd. a 4s. 9d., and very fine, 40
over, 4s. 10d. The arrivals since this day week have been
1,107 puncheons and hogsheads. In Brandy for arrival there
has been a great deal of business done. For Geneva there has
been a better request, and prices have slightly improved. Bri-
tish Raw Spirits fully maintain the late advance.
INDIGO. -There has been more business done in the East
India Market this week, than has been the case of late, but
prices rather under those of the last quarterly sale have been
accepted in some instances ; but, generally, holders of last
sale's goods are not sellers at any reduction, but old parcels
may be purchased in most instances on rather easier terms.
RICE.-There has been a good request for East India, at
fully late rates • and 649 bags Bengal, at auction, went at 135•
for low mid. yellow. Carolina is in request by the grocers,
at 325. a 345.
COCIIINEAL.-There has been a good request for this ar-
ticle, and 81 bags Honduras, at public sale, went briskly at
prices fully equal to those of former rates ; ord. small foxy
sold at 6s. 4d. a 6s. 6d., small and mid. 6s. 7d. a Gs. 9d.
COFFEE.-The West India Coffee Market continues in
dull and declining state, particularly for the inferior and un-
clean qualities, for by private contract there is still nothing
doing, although there are sellers at a decline on the rates of
this day week of several shillings, and only a part of the 68
casks 35 barrels Jamaica and 50 bags Demerara at public sale
were disposed of, the good descriptions at 2s. a 3s. decline,
and the inferior and unclean qualities at a reduction of Is. ;
Jamaica of mid. quality sold at 965. a 100 s., good to fine fine
ord. 735. a 90s. ; Demerara unclean fine inc ord. 98s. There
have been no public sales of East India, and the home and ex-
port demand has been of the most moderate kind, and confined
to trifling parcels taken by private contract, for which the im-
porters have submitted to a reduction on all descriptions of
Is. 6d. a 2s. ; sales privately of good ord. Ceylon, at Gd. duty,
made at 68s. a 695., and there are sellers of those admissible
at the 9d. duty at 475. ; fine green Semarang have been sold
at 41s. 6d. a 425. 6d. ; ord. Sumatra 375. a 395. ; the purchases in
Mocha have been of the most moderate kind at Is. decline.
The holders of Foreign having submitted to a further de-
cline of ls. has occasioned a good demand, and about 1,00
bags Brazil have been taken privately at 445. a 475. for pal°
and good ord. ; there has been an arrival of 1,721 bags froth
New York.
East and West India Coffees this afternoon were totally
neglected ; there were no public sales, and nothing doing hi,
private contract. 150 casks, mostly Berbice, are advertised
for auction next week.
Cocos.-The West India Cocoa Market is still in a heavy
state, nothing having been brought to auction, and scarcely
any thing having been done by private contract. In Brazil
there is still nothing doing.
TALLOW.-Prices have further improved, and at the ad-
aanced rate of 465. 6d. for Petersburg Yellow Candle there'has
been a brisk and general request for parcels on the spot for
immediate consumption from the town and country trade ; for
forward delivery parcels are held firmly at the advanced price
of 465. 3d., but there has not been a great deal of business
done. The letters from the other side mention that much
snow had fallen, and the weather was very cold.
Olus.-For Palm Oil there has been a brisk request by the
Soap trade and the price has advanced to 345. ; 491. a 501.
paid for Cod, 571. for Pale Seal, 50/. a 541. for brown and
