MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Lcnd'on .New Price Current, April 10.)
Sucen.—To-day the Raw Sugar market was closed
on account of the holidays; but business will be resumed
to-morrow. For public sale this week 150 libds Barba-
does. 4,000 bags Bengal, 1,000 bags of Mauritius, and
1,700 chests yellow Havannah are declared.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was in good de.
;nand for home trade purposes, and it was difficult to pur-
chase brown grocery Lumps under 51s per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar is held for Cos toils, but few buyers are
to be met with.

Miunmus.—Further parcels have been imported,
still holders are firm, and the rates obtainedare fully

by private treaty. For low to floe brown the value is
from 33s to 36s Gd, yellow 37s to 425, and grey S7s to
40s per cwt. None has been submitted to public sale,
but seine parcels are declared, consisting for she most
part of better descriptions of yellow. Deliveries continue
of a Eatisfactery nature for home consumption.
EAST INDlA.—Previous rates are well supported for
all dt seriptiens of Bengal Sugar, and there is only a
limited supply at market. By private treaty several
purchases have been made. Benares, good and fine
white, realised 41s Gd to 435, low and middling 40s to
41s, soft yellow 33s to 395, brown 30s to 325, strong
yellow 37s to 44s 6d, brown 33s to 365,
and strong white 45s to 48s. Imports are
getting upon a larger scal.•, but as home deliveries
full IF, the stock is not much heavier than at this time
in the former year. In Aladres a good business has ,
been concluded, and prices are fully as high as on this
day week ; there is also rot a larger amount on offer.
Soft brown is quoted at from 30s to 32s 6d, yellow 33s
to 375, and strong ditto 38s to 44s per cwt. For Penang
there is a fair sale, and former rates are well kept up.
FOREIGN.—To• day there was only a limited demand
for Foreign Sugar for export, and difficulty was expe-
rienced in supporting prices.
COFFEE.—With West India the market is still scantily
supplied with all sorts•, prices are, in consequence, kept
up, but the home trade operate with caution, and a
reduction is expected to take place shortly ; arri-
vals of the new crop are near at hand. Prices above those
current for Ceylon, excepting for ordinary sorts. There
is not much difference in the stock as compared with
this time last year, but deliveries are larger, and imports
exhibit a falling off. The market has an unfavour-
able appearance for East India Coffee subject to
the lower rate of duty, and export kinds are not
so much wanted ; the supply is also more plentifuL
For Native Ceylon only a limited demand has been ex-
perienced for home consumption, and there are few ex-
port buyers. Prices are moderate, and rule at 32s to
33s 6d, per cwt., and there is a fair amount on offer.
Plantation is offered upon rather lower terms,
yet the sales made have been small, and
the better kinds are the most difficult to dispose of.
Mocha is little wanted, and can be obtained upon rather
lower terms; the stock is also extending, and deliveries
do not get larger. Only a limited demand has been
experienced for other East India sorts, still holders are
firm. Padang is held for 28s to 28s 6d, Sumatra 27s to
27s 6d, and Sincapore Java 30s to 38s per cwt.
For Foreign Coffee the market has assumed a quiet
aspect; but as the supply is not larger, former rates are
kept up. Public sales will be declared shortly, when rather
lower prices are expected to prevail. A public sale of
1,365 bags Native Ceylon Coffee is declared for Thurs
day. To-day the rates insisted on for good ord Native
Ceylon were 33s per cwt; but few sales were concluded
by private treaty.
MOLASSES.—The sale is brisker for West India, and
prices tend upwards. Purchases to a fair extent have
been made privately, and at auction 200 puns of Trinidad
fetched 20s to 20s 6d per cwt. Bengal Treacle cannot be
quoted higher; the sale is, however, brisker at 15s to
16s per cwt, an there is a less amount on offer: indeed
some holders will not sell at present rates. An advance
in the value of Honey is apparent, and the quantity on
offer is smaller than for some time past.
COCOA.—The market is more freely supplied with
British Plantation, and prices have assumed a downward
tendency, as the demand has fallen off. The value of
low to fine red Trinidad is from 40s to 465, and grey 38s
to 43$ per cwt. Prices are expected to rule lower as
several parcels of the new crop are near at hand. There
is a more active demand for Foreign and the parcels dis-
posed of by private treaty were at rather higher rates.
A public sale of 100 bags Trinidad Cocoa is declared for
Thursday.
TEA.—The demand has not improved for black, still
holders will not accept lower rates, aid 7id to Bjd is the
value of ord and good common congou cash. Of
Green there is still a large amount on offer, and
sellers are ready to accept rather lower rates, still
on the part of the trade little desire is evinced
to operate. For scented and Pekoe Teas the
market has a dull aspect, and a alight reduction in the
value is apparent. Arrivals for the past week amounted
to 16,000 pkgs, and during that time duty was paid
upon 427,9001bs at this port. It is a subject of surprise
that the market for Tea should continue in so quiet a
state, as prices rule low, and dealers are not oversupplied.
RlCE.—There are sellers of East India rather under
former rates, as the stock is yet extensive, and home as
vs ell us export deliveries continue upon a small scale.
By private treaty all sorts have been dealt-in with cau-
tion; good and fine white Bengal can be obtained at
lOs Gd to 1 Is Gd, mid and good mid 6s to 10s, low 8s to
8s G.', cargo 7s to 7s Gd. Madras pinky white 7s 6d to
8s 6d, and pearl barley 7s to 7s 6d. The chief operation in
been 8,000 bugs of white dale at 9s. 3d. per cwt. None
has been offered at auctiou, and imports are still less
than in the former year, whilst prices rule lower. Only
a moderate safe has been experienced for Cleaned Rice;
town dressed Carolina at '205 to 255; American, 18s to
20s; and low to fine Patna:, 13s to 19s per cwt. For
auction 3,000 bags and 1,000 packets of Bengal Rice are
declared.
erresTs.—Holders of Leeward Island are firm, and
ask full rates, but the demand bus become limited, and
the rules since our last are only 250 puns at is 4iel
proof. East India has been dealt in with caution at
Is 3d to is 3 d ; there are rather lower prices. Deme-
rara met with little attention, and sellers are
willing to accept 2s to 2s 3d for 28 to 34 per cent.
over proof, and 2s 4d to 2s 5d for stronger. Holders of
Jamaica tare nut disposed to accept former rates, still ex-
porters and home dealers operate with caution, and
there is a plentiful supply of low and mid sorts. The
value of 20 to 29 per cent over proof is from 2s 7d to
2s and fine 3s 8d to 4s Gd. Of the best marks
there is yet a small supply. The deliveries of Rum have
been to a lair extent since our last report.
Brandy is less in demand, and supplies are upon a larger
scale. holders are more disposed to sell: Cognac best
brands of the vintage of 1845 at 5s to 55 Bd, ditto
1847 4s 2d to 4s 4d, ditto 1848 3s 5d to 3s 7d, and
interior 2s 2d to 3s 4d. There is no falling off in con-
sumption. For Geneva the rates asked are is 9d to
Is 10d for ord, and fine at 2s 3d to 3s 3d. The valet of
British made Spirit is still 9s Bd, and Gin 8,3 d to 8s 9d
per gal. To-day Rum was more in demand, and Is 3d
per gal proof was re fused for 1,000 puns of East India.
Belem.—Black Pep' er is held with firmness, and the
supply is still small; there has been a fair business con..
CIU'Lli at full rates. White is wanted, and stiller rates
are obtained; the supply is also smaller than for some time
past. Pod is in better demand at 30s to 50s. Of Is utmt gs
there are several arrivals and rather lower rates are taken
but few buyers. Mace is dull of sale and can be obtained
upon rather lower terms. Ginger is held with firmness,
and the demand is better for all purposes. Cinnamon is
not cheaper, but only small sales have been made. There
is a fair demand for Cloves.
COCIIINEAL.—There has been again a large quantity
delivered for home consumption and exportation ; the
supply is also less plentiful, and former rates are well
supported. None has been submitted to public sale, and
privately operations aro upon an enlarged scale, at fully
former rates.
INDIGO.—The quantity of East India declared for
public sale on the Bth of May has been increased to
5,360 chts. There is little desire on the part of exporters
or home dealers to do business, still there are not sellers
under the rates of the last quarterly sales. For Spanish
there is a steady demand, and late rates are well sup-
ported, but publio sales will be declared shortly.
FRlllT.—Currants cannot be obtained upon lower
terms, but the sales made have been limited at from 34eto
39s per cwt for low to fine quality. There is, however,
only a small stock whereas consumption is proceeding

Raisins are held with firmness, still only small sales
have been made. The value of prime Valencia is 40s,
and Units 30s per cwt. Fine Figs continue to be much
wanted and stiffer rates are offered; there is, however,
still a scanty supply. In the value of other sorts of Fruit
we have little variation to record; there is however a
better demand.
SALTPETRE.—To-day there was much inquiry after
rough, and it was difficult to purchase common, quality
under 30s per cwt. as the supply is yet scanty.
Teeeow.—Russian has been dealt in with caution on
the spot, and prices are further depressed. Ther

with eery prospect of a coutinuance. .Linseed Oil is

been buyers to a fair extent. For forward delivery
several axles have been made at 26s Gd to 26s 9d per cwt.
Of Palm some parcels have come to hand, yet there is
firmness in the market, and a good demand exists. Fine
quality is worth 34s to 34s 61. Cocoa Nut has been
dealt in with great fret dom at 34s 6d to 375. For Olive
there has been a good demand, and prices rule firm;
Gallipoli at 421 lOs to 43/, and other sorts 40/ to 421. per
