MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, July 24.)

caution by home dealers, and prices declined to 49s 6d to
50s for brown grocery Lumps, and Standard 50s 6d per
cwt. Bonded crushed Sugar is, however, in excellent
request at 293 6d to 30s 6d per cwt, and there is a firm
market.

tivity in the market for Mauritius Sugar: at public sale
5,871 bags were offered, and went in some cases 6d per
cwt under former rates, but all sold; fine yellow went at
39s to 39s 6d, low to good 38s to 38s 6d, middling to
good grey 37s to 38s 6d, washed and syrupy 323 to 38s

ish leaf lid to is 3d, and fine and Pekoe kinds is 4d to

dom at former prices. No public sale of Tea is at pre-
sent declared.
