MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Dec. 14.)
SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was in excellent
demand for home trade purposes, and stiffer rates were
paid, making the advance during the week 6d, and in
some cases Is ptr cwt. on the better sorts. The purchases
were 460, including 205 bhds, &c., chrystalized at public
sale, which went at 33s 6d to 37s 6,1 for brown, and at
38s to 445 for greyish. For the week in all 3.100 hhds,
&e., have been sold, and the Sugar market closes with a
firm tone.

REFINED.—To-day Refuel Sugar met with free pur-
chasers for home trade purposes ; brown Lumps
realised 49s to 493 6d, and lair grocery 50s to 513 ;er
cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held with firmness at
29s to 30s per cwt.

MAURITIUS.—The orders executed by private treaty
have been greater than in the previous week for all pur-
poses, and former rates are well supported; indeed,
bright grocery kinds realised an advance of 6d per cwt;
at public sale 6,703 bags went readily, fine yellow at
39s 6d to 418, good 38s to 38s 6d, middling 37s to 37s
6d, low 35s 6d to 36s 6d, ordinary to middling brown
30s to 32s 61, good to fine 33s to 355, low to superior
grey 34s 6d to 38s 61, and good grainy 40s per cwt.
EAST INDIA —This afternoon the public sales of
Bengal Sugar, consisting of 5,500 bags 300 chests, went
readily, and generally at rather higher rates ; low to
tine white Benares realised 38s to 425, yellow, like Mau-
ritius, 34s to 38s 6(1, superior 39s to 39s 6d, soft yellow
335 to 375, brown 29s to 31s, middling and good grainy
yellow 38s to 425. Of Penang 1,543 bags all sold; white
39s to 41s, yellow 33s 6d to 38s; and 1,200 bags Madras,
brown 28s 6d to 30s 61, good yellow 35s 6d to 365; there
are stiffer rates.

FOREIGN.—This afternoon a public sale of 135 hhds
156 brls Croix went at firm rates, and realised 40s
to 43s 6d for good and.fine yellew.

MoLAssEs.-For West India the market has a firm
aspect, and at previous terms a good business has been
concluded. 160 puns sold—Antigua fine sold at 18s,
Dominica 15s. Purchases to a lair extent have been
made in East India Molasses at 14s to 14s 6d, but there
is rather a large stock here. For Honey advanced rates
have been obtained.

Cocoa.—By private treaty large purchases have been
reade in West India, and prices exhibit a further advance
of is per cwt. At auction 200 bags Trinidad were sold;
good red went at 44s 6d to 473, and low to good grey at
40s to 42; 6d per cwt; whilst on the part of boletus
there is firmness. For auction on Wednesday 700 bags
Trinidad are declared. For Foreign orders coutiaue to
get larger, and prices exhibit a further advance.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon met with less
attention privately, and former rates were not to be ob-
tained. At public sale the sound of 1,560 bags were
taken in at 52s to 53s for good ordinary, but damaged
sold at 473 to 54. For Plantation the market has be-
come quiet, but lower terms are not generally acceded
to. 01 173 casks 400 bags at auction, a part only
sold ; good at 67s 6d to 703, low middling
and middling 60; to 665, other sorts 493 to 595.
and triage 45s to 543. Mccha is, however, still wanted,
and 170 bales realised stiff rates. Of Singapore Java
1,011 bags went at 51s 61 to 52s fur good ord sound,
and at 49s to 51s Gd for damaged; these are firm rater.
TEA.—There continues to bo a desire on the part of
holders of better sorts of Green to realise, and pace's
are offering rather previous rates. Inferior and mid-
dling have been dealt in with caution, and can easily he
obtained at former terms. Black is nut offered at any
further decline, but new Congou met with only a
limited sale at is 6d to is 9d per lb ; and for other sorts
the market has been done at last week's terms. Pekoe
and Scented Teas met with little attention, and previous
prices are not to be obtained. With all sorts the market
has been more freely supplied this week, and prices have
evidently a downward tendency. At the public sales of
11,703 pkgs, bidding; were languid, aed the small part
only of 2,980 found buyers--lair Congou went at 9d,
mid and good 10d to is Id per lb.
Bien.—To-day the market was well supplied with
Bengal Rice, and buyers not showing much &sire to
operate, prices declined 6d per cwt. Of 5,662 bags
offered at public sale not above half sold at 9; Gd to 10a
for good mid and good white, and is 6d to is for da-
maged. 775 bags Madras taken in at 8s 6d to 9; for
sound. Sago is higher, and 225 cases went at 23; 6d to
25s for good to fine. _ _

SPICES.—To-day at public sale 454 bags Bengal
Ginger were hold at 21s tc 21s 6(1 for good mid export
s wrt. Thirty-one boxes African went at 30s 61 to 31s
for fair ; these are rather lower rates. Of Cayenne
Pepper 18 boxes sold at 9d, and with all faults 7d. Sixty
bags African Pod realised 34s to 35s 6d for fair sound,
and 313 per cwt for damaged.
FRUIT.—The demand for Currants since our last has
been very dull, but prices continue firm, and for fine
qualities a further advance of is per cwt has taken
place. The price of Valencia Raisins is nominally 48s,
but several parcels have been sold by one of the principal
importers at 475; the consequence is that the transactions
have been very trifling in comparison with the preceding
fortnight. In Turkey Figs a fair business has been
done, but at low prices, as the principal supply is very
inferior.

COCUINE&L.—To•day Cochineal was in greater de-
mand, and rt a public gale of 80 bags Honduras silvers,
prim s advanced Id to 2d per lb, and ruled from 3s 9d
to 4s 3d for ord to good. A few bags of Garblings
realised is 8d per lb.
SPIRITS.—In Leeward Island Rum operations have
been upon a larger scale this week, and at better rates,
whilst the latest operations are is 5d to is 5.1 d proof, and
on the part of holders firmness is apparent. East India
met with a good sale at is aid to is 4d, and there are not
tree sellers. For Demerara a brisker sale exists at 23 to 2s
3d for 20 to 50 per cent. over proof. Orders for Jamaica are
larger, but chiefly fur home trade purposes, and sales
cannot generally be made at late rates. We quote 20
to 30 per cent over proof at 2s 2d to 2s Bd, better sort
2s 9d to 3s, and fine 32 to 38 over 3s 2d to 4s. Brandy
has been dealt in with greater freedom, and holders are
firm. Sales of Cognac best brands of the vintage of
1848 have been made at 4s 5d to 4s 7d, and 1847 ditto
5s 2d to 5s 4d, and inferior sorts 2s 8d to 4s 2d. The
sales of Rum fur the week are 600 puns chiefly at Is 5d
for proof Lcowards and at 2s 7d for Jamaica or 30 to
38 over proof.
limited purchases have been made in
Linseed Oil for home consumption or exportation; prices
rule at 27s 94 to 288 on the spot. There are Reveral
buyers for delivery next year at 28s 6d to 295, whilst
there are not willing sellers. Rape Oil is not in more
plentiful supply, and prices keep high, still dealers ope-
rated with caution ; brown at 41s 6d to 425, pale 42s 6d
to 435, and foreign 44s to 455, but lower rates are
expected to exist. Prices cannot be quoted higher
for Olive, still a good demand exists, and consump-
tion is yet getting larger. Sales of Gallipoli have
been made at 441 to 451, Spanish and Sicily 431 to 431,
14s, Barbary, Levant, and Portugal 421 to 421 10s, whilst
on the part of merchants firmness is apparent. The vaiue
of Lucca is Si 17s 6d to 61 per jar, and Florence 4-chests
18s to 219. Of Palm several parcels have been di,posed
of, whilst good and fine realised 32s to 32s 9d per
cwt. There is a firm market with only a limited supply
and an enlarged consumption. Trade is not better for
Cocoa Nut Oil, whilst there are sellers at from 30s to
34s according to supply. Of Fish Oils there is a
more plentiful supply, and previous terms are not
to be obtained as the demand for all purposes
is not so good. Cod Oil is offered at 301 10a to
311.; few buyers are to be met with. Prices
are depressed for all sorts of Seal, and operations have
been of little moment. At auction 40 tuna were only in
part sold; pale 371 15s to 381, straw 331 to 341 10s,
yellow 321 to 331, brown 29/ lOs to 301, and boiled Seal 251
to 25155. Only limited purchases have been made pri-
vately in Southern, although all qualities are offered at a
reduction. At auction 45 tuns were sold at 281 to 32/,
and 48 tuns Davis' Straits Whale at 29/ 5s to 321 15s.
For Sperm holders ask 821 to 821 lOs for fine British,
81110 811 lOs for American, and 841 to 881 for Head-
matter according to quality, still dealers have operated
with caution. Further arrivals of Fish Oils are near at
at hand. I❑ the value of Ground Nut or Lard Oil there
is no var,iation:
TALLOW.—To-day at auction 951 pkgs South Anis-
rican Tallow sold at 33s Gd to 36s 63, very ord 31s 94
to 33i; 350 cks Sydney 35s 9d to 38s Gd; 172 cks Pe-
tershurgh, second sort 37s Gd to 38s, low 353 34, soap
Tallow 31s 9d to 323 94; 150 skins Ibrail 36s to 39s
per cwt.

SINGULAR STRATAGEM OF A HARE.—Last week a
hare. pursued by some greybound9, after several turns,
and being hardly pressed, jumped on the back of a
young horse, where she fixed hrrelf astride. The
affrighted animal, not being accustomed to such a rider,
hounded off at full speed, kicking and plunging, accom
panied by the dogs. Tnis continued from tour to five
minutes, when, choosing a favourable situation, puss
hopped off, and very gallantly made her escape.—Stvan.
sea Herald.
It is the duty of man to mitigate suffering, and not
to inflict it.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
Three hundred tons of potatoes and two tons of
61:e said to be sold weekly to the London bakers.

TI-IE COUNTRY MARKETS.
VA K 1,1 lELD, DEc. lt—The arrlvala continue liberal
of ail at tides. During the week country markets have
ger:crally made some advance in prices, which has its
irfluence to-day, and we have a moderate business
pz.siing at an improvement of is per quarter. No change
in the value of barley; the common qualities are still
very unsaleable. Oats and ehelling bell slowly at late
price's. Beans offered freely.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 14.—The arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise kilts Tuesday have been on a limited scale,
and from Caseda we have only received 500 losels of
oatmeal and 2,712 barrels of flour. From foreign ports
a fair supply of wheat has come forward, but small of
other articles. The exports in the same time have been
unimportant. The trade, without being brisk, has
evinced considerable firmness, and several parcels of
wheat have changed hands at full prices. The weather
has been cold and damp during the past few days. At
this day's market there was only a middling attendance
of the trade, but a fair business was done in wheat at
the full prices of Tuesday for foreign old, and an advance
of id per 70lb on Irish new. Oats and oatmeal met with
a moderate retail demand, at late rates, as did barley,
beans, and peas. Good qualities of flour were in rather
more request, but inferior descriptions were extremely
difficult to move. Indian corn was again slightly dearer,
and 28s 6d was refused for prime American yellow.
EXETER, DEC. 14.—Cattle Market—The supply of
bullocks to day was very small, as is always the ease
the week after the fair. The few fat bullocks driven in
sold at 8s to 9) per score; cows end calves, 91 to 131.
Barreners, 4s 6d to 5s 63 per score. Butchers' calves,
stl to 54d. There was a good supply of sheep, most of
them fit for the butcher. Ewes, about 4id per 1b;
wethers, sd; and for a few small prime articles, skd per
lb was obtained. There was a tolerable supply of stare
pigs, but the demand was not brisk. Pork Carcases--
The supply was about equal to that of last week, but the
sale of large pigs was very dull. Prices ranged from 6t
to 7s 31 per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 4s 6d to 6s 61
each; geese, 4s 6d to 6s 6d ditto; ducks, 4a 6d to 55
per couple; fowls, 25 9d to 4s ditto; pheasants, 5s 6d to
6s per brace; partridges, 2s 6d to 3s ditto; wood-
cocks, 4s 6d to 55 ditto; snipes, Is 23 to 18 6d; wild
ducks, 4s 6'l to 5s ditto; teal, 2s to 2s 61; widgeon,
3s 6d; hares, 2s 6d to 3s each; rabbits, 10d; roasters,
4s to ss. Butter, lldto is per lb; eggs, 12 to 14 for is;
potatoes, 8d to 9d per score; turnips, 3d to 4d ditto;
onions, 141 b for Is. Corn Exchange—One o'Clock---
remains pretty near the same as that of last week•
Wheat is selling at 4s 10d to 55 2d per bushel for the best
samples, and on the whole the trade is rather firmer.
The quotations for foreign wheat is 40s for red, and 455
for white, but this must be considered nominal, and in
consequence of the continued depression in English
wheat, most of the foreign has been withdrawn from the
market, the holders being unable to effect a sale. Barley,
to 3s 3d per quarter; oats, is 9d to 2s, Fine flour,
27s to 29s per sack, the ruling figure being 28s.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 14.—We have eel/

unsaleable, there being no demand. There was a grest
number of pigs shown. L trge fat ones fetched about 3a
per lb., live weight. For stores and sucking pigs there
was but little inquiry, and at very low rates.
