MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS. •
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.-We have had a steady Sugar Market for the
season of the year, with a progressive improvement in the
prices ; the estimated sales for last week were 3,000 hhds.
and trs., and they probably would have been more exten-
sive if the holders had not been so firm in their demands
for higher prices. This morning the market is closed on
account of the holydays. The stock of West India Sugar
is now 37,271 hhds. and tra., which is
,1„453 less than
last year. The stock of Mauritius 77,885 bags, being
56,499 more than last year. The delivery of West India
Sugar last week 2,664 hhds. and tra., being 272 more
than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 5,115 bags,
being 3,655 more than in the corresponding week of 1830.
Towards the close of last week the demand for packing
Lumps revived, and some purchases were made at rather
higher rates, and for these sorts the market is looking
firmer;
in fine crashed there continues to be very little
doing ;in consequence of the last accounts from the Medi-
terranean not being very favourable, 325. is asked for good
quality ; 605- has been offered for good large Lumps, to
be delivered next Ftbruary ; the refiners, however, will
not enter into any future engagements at the present low
rates ; the prices of ord. large Lumps are about 34., and
fine crashed is 6s. lower than at this period last year.
FOREIGN SUGAR.-Nothing has been done by private
contract, and, in the absence of public sales, prices remain
nominally the same.
EAST INDIA SUGAR....-At the public sales of Mauritius
low and mid. sorts brought steady prices, but the finer
sorts, from 495. a 58a., are scarce, and 11. dearer ; the
following are the prices paid-ord. brown 41s. ; good
brown 41s. 64. a 425. ; fine brown 425. 641. a 435. 6d. ;
ord. grey 42.. 6d. a 435. ; mid. grey 445. 6d. a 465. ;
ord. yellow 445. a 455. 6d. ; mid. yellow 465. a 480. ;
fine yellow 50s. a 535. 6d. Average price of Sugar
IL 3s. Oid. per cwt.
COFFEE.-The business doing is chiefly limited to Bri-
tish Plantation for the home trade, the prices of which,
though very firm, are not higher: In Foreign and East
India scarcely any transactions have taken place by private
contract, and at a public sale of 913 bags Brazil, which
took place, prices went about Is. under the general valua-
tions. The public sales consisted of 42 casks 92 bags
Berbice, 163 bags Demerara, 913 bags Brazil, and 1,522
bags Batavia, which found buyers at the following rates :-
Bethke triage 86s. a 899. 6d., mid 905. 6d., good mid
935. 6d. ; Demerara triage, not clean, 795. 6d. a 835.,
fine ord. 1353. 6d., mid. 86s. a 875. 6d. ; Brazil triage
40s. a 415., ord. 52a. 6d. a 535. 6d., good ord. coloury

a 555. 6d., yellow and even 58s.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The RUM gar
has been very dull, but, as the weekly delivery hi
some time averaged about 1,000 puns., the stock 1/
shortly decrease ; at present it is about 5,000 pens.,
than last year. The purchases repeated last weJ
small parcels inferior Jarnaicas at lower rates, and`'
Leewards 2 to 5 over at Is. 4d., and some prooo,

OILS.—In Seed and Olive Oils the trade has bete
both for home and export trade, with buyers still s!ii
advanced quotations. Fish Oils for the season ore_,,
usually dull; Nit it is ei..pecteil the demand will IMP"
with the new year.
TURPENTlNE.—Turpentine remains firm ; all the 1
arrivals of rough, and some parcels not yet in, take°
the dealers at present quotations.
- -

Sur.—The market is rather on the advance, as
of good articles ask full prices, which they maintain ;
Silks may be quoted 3d. to 6d. higher, but very
doing. In waste there is no alteration.
