MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades has considerably
improved this week, particularly yesterday and this fore-
noon ; the market has again been nearly cleared of the
good new Sugars ; the estimated sales are 2,100 hhds.
and trs., the prices are 6d. to Is per cwt. higher for low
quality. The refined market bas been in a very depressed
state all the week, lumps and loaves are Is. lower, a large
parcel of the former sold at 625. 6d. There is no altera-
tion in refined this afternoon ; several sales of crashed are
reported 345. 6d. and 353. Molasses rather higher.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.—The reduction we stated in Siam
Sugars of 18. per cwt. has been fully confirmed by public
sales ; the depression is chiefly in the low and mid. white,
of which the great proportion of the supply at this market
consists ; good white Siam sells at 245. a 255. 6d. ; low and
middling, 20s. a 235. 6d. ; brown and yellow, 16s. a 193.
The East India Company have declared a sale of Sugars
for the 17th pros. The quantity of Mauritius sold this
week, previously to this day, was about 4,500 bags, at
steady price., 445. a 465. for the brown, up to 555. for
fine yellow and grey. This day's sale 5,927 bags Mauri-
tius, nearly the whole sold at full prices, except the fine,
for which there were few offers, except at a further reduc-
tion of Is. per cwt. Also 2,601 bags East India, chiefly
Siam, which sold at the former r, duction we have stated.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—There are no sales of Ilavannah
Sugar to report this week. About 350 chests Bras)
Sugar have sold, brown Bahia 16s. a 19s. low and mid.
white 225. a 265. ; several small parcels fine white Per-
barns, 295. a 30s. ; brown to fine yellow Rios 16s. a
21s. 61.

COFFEE.—The public sales of British Plantation Coffee
this week have gone off with much greater spirit than for
some time past, anti we state a general advance of Is.
per cwt. The Foreign Coffee is little varied ; a large
parcel of good ordinary Brazil at public sale was taken in
at 395., but since the partial improvement of the market
the taking in price has been repeatedly refused. At public
sales this day, 2,384 bags East India, 89 ca,ks, 150 bags
British Plantation; the former was chiefly Sumatra,
which sold at prices again a shade lower, '27s. a 31s. ;
the British Plantation fully supported the late prices.
RICE.—In Rice there is little alteration, This day by
public s Ile 2,000 bags ord. white Bengal Rice, mostly
sold 13s. a 13s. 6d., which is much about the previous
market prices.
Ons.—The Oil market is very dull ; the purchases re-
ported by private contract this week are quite inconsider-
able. This day by public sale 85 tuns southern Oil, of
fine quality ; the whole sold lower 221. a 29/. 10s.
hiptco.—The first declarati'm of sale, above 2,000

great increase of fly. The estimated duty, which com-
menced at 120,000/, has fallen to 105,0001. The prices
of Hops have advanced 20s. to 255. per cwt.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The RUM market
has again given way Id. per gallon; several parcels of
proofs and a little over, have been sold at is. 5c1., and 4
and 5 over at Is. SFI. ; we are not aware of the sale of
any other descriptions, or of Jamaica Runia. The holders
of Brandy have given way in price, and iu consequence
we have again rather a brisk trade ; the best marks have
.sold in large parcels, 4s. 4d. a 4s. 6d. Geneva still
neglected.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow market con-
tinues ,o give way, particularly for parcels on the spot;

there is no material alteration.
