MARKET' INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of last Evening.)
&GAIL —There has again been a good deal of business
doing in West India Muscovadoes ; from the grocers the de-
mand has been extensive for both brown and yellow descrip-
tions during the past week ; the refiners have also purchased
freely, and importers have obtained an advance on previous
rates of 6d to Is ; the quantity sold by private treaty on Wed-
nesday amounted to 1,200, and on Thursday and Friday to
1,400 hogsheads and tierces, besides which 115 hogsheads
14 tierces Barbadoes at public sale were taken with avidity
at prices fully up to those of the last sale, and brought
b7s to 64s 6d for low to good quality ; privately low
middling St. Kitts, Antigua, and Demerara have beea
sold at 52s 6d to 545, Demerara, Jamaica, and St. Vin-
cents of mid quality at 55s to 565, good Jamaica at 60s 6d,
and strong brownish Tobagos at 51s to 51s 6d : the supply is
still very short of qualities above 61s ; the unusual demand
for the season of the year may be attributed to the present
moderate prices, which are 8s to 9s lower than they were at
this time in 1837 and 1836 ; the deliveries since our last have
been large, exceeding those of the corresponding period of last
year ; the increase in the comparative stocks is not so large
now as it was on Tuesday last; there has been only one small
arrival since this day week.
The stock of West India Sugar is now 40,277 hhds and
trs, being 17,690 more than last year. The stock of Mauri-
tius is now 71,915 bags, which is 30,069 more than last year.
The delivery of West India last week was 3,120 hhds and
trs, which is 658 more than last year. The &livery of
Mauritius was 2,999 bags, being 1 355 less than the oorres-
ponding week of lastyear.
_ _

The Gazette Average Price is now 31s lid, against 3931*
in 1837. and 39s 2id in 1836.

REFINED. —For home consumption a brisk demand harpre-
vailed for both common and the better descriptions of goods,
the former have again brought rather higher prices, 728 having
been paid for parcels of brown patent lumps ; the latter have
maintained their former currency, sales of lumps equal to
the standard b, ing made at 74s a 755, the lowest point of
the market for ord sorts is 70s. For export the demand has
been very partial ; but buyers have been compelled to pay 36s
for small parcels of double crushed in the docks, and there is
now none remaining ; in the market no price is yet fixed,
but after the rate the grocers pay, it would make the value
of Crushed of first quality 40s. Bastards under 48s have been
taken sparingly; but those above that price have been in good
request. Pieces have sold freely at the rates previously esta-
bli,hed. Treacle has been in brisk demand, and prices have
advanced to 276 6d a 28s for common, 29s a 30s for the best
old make, and 30s a 31s for Patent ; the suppl. is still small.
Candy has maintained its previous currency. Dutch Crushed
Sugar is held firmly for 335, but there is still no demand here.
MAURITIUS. —There has been Increased demand for both
improved
6d and refining descriptions, and prices have
6d to is for Sugars which have sold above 60s ; those
under that figure have maintained their former currency ;
at public sale 6.410 bags have been offered, 2,000 bars
of which were withdrawn, the remainder went with animation,
fine yellow at 62s 6d a 64s 6d, good 59s 6d to 645, mid 569 to
58s, low mid 53s 6d to 55s 6d, fine strong brown 525, mid to
good 48s to 51s, very ord soft'4oa to 43s per cwt ; there has
been no arrival since or last. _
