MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Nets London Price Current of last Night.)
SUGAR.—The Market for West India Muscevades on Tues-
day last after the holidays opened with great briskness, at
an advance of ls. 6d. per cwt. ; ord. brown Sugars now 625.
up to 68s. for fine, the Market since has been gradually rising ;
the estimated sales for the week may be stated at 3,500 lihds.
and trs., at extreme and gradually stiffening prices. In the
Refined Market there has been a rise of 2s. to 2s. 6d. per cwt.
since the holidays • there has been some confusion in the prices
of Lumps to pass the standard, nearly the same price has been
paid for each, to pass and not to pass the standard ; for the
latter 84s. and 84s. 6d. has been paid, and to pass the standard
85s. and 85s. 6d. is the quotation. This afternoon the Re-
fined Market still continues to advance, 86s. has been paid for
Lumps to pass the standard.
MAURITIUS.—There are no public or private sales of Mau.
ritius Sugars to report. The public sale this day, 4,896 bags
Mauritius Sugar of the new crop, did not go off with the ex-
pected briskness. Brown, 625. 6d., up to 675. for fine yellow,
being ls. higher than the last public sale, but not in proportion
to the rise in West India Raw Sugars ; about one-half was
taken in. Up to Dec. 31, 1835, the returns of stock show a
deficiency, in comparison to the end of 1834, of about 19,300
bags, and about 36,000 bags less than at the close of 1833.
The import, during the last year, has been about 12,500 bags
more than the preceding one, but about 63,800 bags under that
of 1833. _

EAST INDIA.—The only new feature in these descriptions is
a rise of Is. to Is. 6d. per cwt. ; the demand continues, and
the Market is very firm; the late sales are 3,000 bags Manilla,
551 bags Bengals, 1,743 bags Siam, and 309 baskets Java ;
the Manilla of fine brown ar.d low grey quality, 295. to 31s. ;
good white Bengals, 375. 6d. to 38s. ; washed low brown,
245. to 245. 6d. ; fine fine yellow Siam, 335. Gd. to 345. ; low
white, 345. 6d. to 355. ; good white, 365. 6d. to 375. 6d.
By public sale this day 444 bags 32 casks of Siam and Java
Sugars sold rather higher. A large parcel of Manilla Sugar
is reported sold at about 325. The import of 1835 is about
40,900 bags more than in 1834, but about 31,000 bags less
than in 1833. The stock is about 17,500 bags less than in the
beginning of 1835, and about 61,400 bags less than at the com-
mencement of 1834.

FOREIGN.—The late purchases in Foreign Sugar by private
contract are confined to parcels of yellow Havannah at 375. to
375. 6d., r.nd small parcels of Bahia, good brown at 265. 6d.,
low whites at 335. Two floating cargoes of Bahia of the old
crop, arc reported sold, to be delivered at Antwerp and Am-
sterdam, brown at 265., white at 345. The import has fallen
off considerably, being only 15,000 boxes of Havanna', and
3,000 chests of Brazil. In the stock there is also a striking
deficiency.

COFFEE.—The business done in British Plantation descrip-
tions has not been to any great extent, but the pi ices have un-
dergone an improvement since the holidays of about is. to
Is. 6d. per cwt. At auction 43 casks and 12 bags Berbice of
mid. quality sold at the advance. In East India Coffee the
business is confined to 400 bags fair Ceylon at public sales ; a
part sold 565. 6d. to 575. 6d. There are no public sales to
report in Foreign Coffee, and scarcely any purchases privately ;
the prices are nominal.

By public sale this day 342 bags Samarang and Sumatra
.Coffee ; the former sold from from 525. to 535., and the latter
at 435., about former prices. Also 106 trs. 60 brls. 168
bags mid. Berbice 100 s. 6d. to 102 s. went off Is. higher,
the whole was sold, which is rather an uncommon circumstance
lately ; the Market for British Plantation is firmer.
The stock of British Plantation Coffee on 31st December
was about 1,200 tons less than at the same time in 1834. The
imports have decreased above 1,850 tons. The stock of East
India coffee has decreased about 720 tons, and the import has
fallen off about 720 tons. The stock of Foreign Coffee 31st
December was nearly 1,600 tons less than at the end of 1834.
The import during last year was nearly 1,400 tons less than in
1834.

COCOA.-At auction 75 brls. 6 trs. 280 bags, part Grenada
and part Trinidad ; the sale consisted chiefly of good sound
quality, the whole was taken in, the Trinidad at 585., Gre.
nada at 565. A part is since reported sold at about the taking
in prices. Brazil is held with great firmness, but no purchases
are reported.

TALLOW.—The Tallow Market has been heavy, and the
prices are rather lower.

WEST INDIA MOLASIIRS.—There have been some sales in
West India Molasses at rather higher prices, 28s. 6d. and 295.
for good and fine Demerara ; also one parcel at 30s. 6d.
NITRATE OF SODA.—Small parcels of this article have found
buyers at 21s. to 21s. 6d., being about former prices.
\VooL.—There is no new feature to notice in Wool; the
Market remains quiet, prices unvaried.
Sp/cm—The fall in the prices of Pepper since the holidays
is id. per pound; 800 bags have been brought forward pub.
licly, but were taken in at rather lower prices, there being few
bidders. Pimento is without variation ; the Market remains
dull. Few purchases are reported. At public sale 161 chests
Cassia Lignea sold steadily at .575. 6d. to 58s.
By public sale this day, 1,046 bags Malabar Pepper, good
fair sold at qd. ; good heavy shot kind, 4d. ; Sumatra lusty
bought in at 4d. being a further decline.
292 chests of Cassia Lignea sold this day at 585., steady
prices.
Rust, BRANDY, and HOLLANDF.—The Government contract
which we alluded to on Tuesday last appeared neat morning,
for 75,000 gallons of Rum ; the only abet produced on the
Market is that the holders became more firm; proofs may be
quoted
about 2s, 24d., 2 and 3 over, 2s. 3d. ; in Jamaica de,

scriptions there are few sales, the prices are fully maintained.
prandy is steady at a reduction of 2.d. per gallon from the late
ighest point of the Market. In Geneva there is no business
to report.
It will be observed that Government, in advertising the Runt
bontract, give the particulars of the alteration in the manner
of doing it which we alluded to some weeks ago, which frees
the trade from many difficulties; the alterations have given
much general satisfaction. It is understood the Government
stores arc very ill supplied, and about 1,000 puns. more, it is
expected, will be required before the end of February; this
gives the character of the Market a great firmness.
The actual sales of Rum which have transpired, arc 34
;over, Demerara at 3s. 5d.; 38 over, cloudy, at 3s. 4d. It is
also reported this afternoon that proof Lcewards have been
sold at 2s. 3d.
SALTPETRE.—There is no alteration in the prices of Salt-
petre; the holders are very firm. A public sale of 3,000 bags
is advertised for next Friday, which excites some interest, and
.has checked the demand for the present.
Stt.x.—There is a very fair business doing in Silk at firm
prices.

OILS.—The Oil Market generally is dull at our quotations.
FRVIT.—The prices of fruit arc little varied since the holy-
days., the business doing being very limited. Large arrivals
of Currants and Red Smyrna Raisins are reported.
• COTTON—The accounts of Cotton from Liverpool continue
favourable; 8,000 bags.sold on Wednesday, the American
descriptions at extreme prices, the Egyptian rather higher.
Here the sales are quite inconsiderable ; they consist of 300
Surat, good ord. to good, 6d. a 74d. ; 30 Bengal, fair, 60. ;
30 Madras, ord. bid.
The small parcels of Surats and Mina Cotton by public
sales this day went off at nearly former prices.
INDIGO.—The Indigo Market has still a very firm appear-
ance ; very few parcels are offering for sale at prices front last
sale's rates to 2d. per lb. premium. 5,300 chests are now de-
clared for the 19th and 26th ; it is proposed that it should not
commence till the latter date, to afford time for the show.
COCHINEAL.—This day's public sale, 56 bags very ord. and
small to mid. silvers, 6s. Bd. to 7s. 2d. ; good and fine, 7s. 3d.
a 7s. 0., being on the whole Id. a 2J. higher, and fully 3d.
higher from the lowest point, they sold with great ; the
few bags of black were withdrawn.
