MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS. •
(Ftera the London. New Price Current of. yesterday.)
,
'SUGAR.—The stock or Sugar in London i s now reduced to
about 11,000 hhds. and. till. West India, and 88,000 bags Mauri-
tius ; most of the former is not available for use, on account of
its. low quality •' several of our most eminent brokers have no
Sugar on sale.; the few parcels which have been on show met with
ready buyers, and those of any quality realised an advance of fully
Is. per cwt. ; the estimated sales for the three days this week in
which business has been transacted were 1,700 hhds. and till.
The stock of Refined Sugar is also much reduced, but as the
great proportion of the export orders have been executed, there is
little variation in the market. Molasses sell at a3s. Pd. and 245.
Low goods continue to be taken off for packing, and the prices of
last week are fully maintained, but the middling descriptions of
`lumps and loaves at present appear to be quite neglected; the finer
descriptions of lumps and loaves from 755. to 7ris., however, have
been taken off freely, both by the grocers and shippers, and there
are now very few parcels on show, and higher prices are de-
manded; for crashed the inquiries have been chiefly confined to
descriptions entitled to the double-refined bounty, which have
been sold at higher prices—say 355., and it would be difficult to
purchase now even at that price.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—There have been no purchases of Fo.
reign Sugar this week; 112 chests Pernams were offered at public
sale, but were all taken in, fine•white at 31s.
EAST INDIA SUGA RS.—We have had two public sales of
Mauritius Sugars this week, about 4,000 bags ; the sale of yester-
day went off tid. to Is. per cwt. higher. In East India Sugars no
sales are reported.
COFFEE.— The Coffee market continues very firm. Yesterday,
2,370 bags Cheribon sold la. to ls. 7d. higher, mixed 31s. 6d. sip to
445. for good quality ; of 442. bags St Domingo a part were sold
40s. and 40s. tkl. good ordinary. The British Plantation descrip-
tions went off heavily, but without any reduction in the prices.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HoLLANDs.—The purchase of
Runs lately are confined to parcels suitable for export, of which
there are considerable sales of strong qualities at full prices ; the
market generally is heavy, and ewards may be purchased
rather lower. In Brandy there are few sales. The purchases of
Geneva are more limited than in the preceding week, the prices
are un varied.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow market has
suddenly given way, owing to the settlement of the contracts by
the parties who had sold to deliver on a certain day, and could
not do it; they paid the difference between what they had sold at
and the price on the spot, 50s. 6d. ; the market then gave way;
the nearest price is now 4Ss. for parcels for delivery, 475. for next
week, and 41s. for Septe.nber. in Hemp or Flax there is no
material alteration.

IRISH PROVISIONS.--Mutters are flat, and lower purchases
may be made at a reduction of is. a 2s. Bacon steady, the
holders evincing no disposition to accept of lower prices. Sales
of India Beef and Pork in equal proportions at W. 17s. 6d.
WOOL—The Wool market has been quiet during the last few
days, but no giving way in price • on the contrary, the importers
demand higher prices for the fresh arrivals, Wool being dearer in
Germany than here.

SILK:— Mere was a little doing in the Italian market at the
close of last week, but the contititUAl large arrivals keep the prices
low. In liengals and Chinas there has been little done since last
sale.

COTTON.—The Cotton inatket is brisk, particularly yester-
day, when above 1,000 bags were sold at prices which could not be
previously obtained.
COCOA.—At ye,terday's sale 18 brls. 37 bags Trinidad Cocoa,
good quality, sold 50s. a 545., ordinary grey 255.

damaged Cephalonia Currants by public sale yesterday were sold
675, a!Ss. for butts, and Ms. a 70s. for caroteels.

•
OlLS.—There is much doing in Seed Oils, prices maintained.
Fish Oils very heavy and lower; best Southern 01134 t. 108. and
3.W., few buyers.
SALTPETRE.—The prices are nominal on accoun.t of the
warlike news from France and Belgium ; the last prices paid
were 455. and 465. for the best quality.
