MARKET. INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of last Night.) •
SUGAR.-The Sugar market remains in a very uncommon
state : we cannot quote any reduction in prices since Tuesday,
as there is not enough business done to constitute a currency ;
the Market is excessively fiat, and the contention between the
buyer and seller continue? unabated.
The average sales this week do not exceed 200 to 300
hhds each day, in some instances at still easier prices ; the
Market continues very dull.
The import of British Plantation up to the 31st ult. is nearly
double that of last year, but, the deficiency continues to be very
great, nearly 10,000 hhds. and trs. In Refined goods there
continues considerable firmness, on account of the small supply
of goods at Market.
There is little alteration in the Refined Goods this after-
noon ; there are still enquiries for shipping goods at nearly
former prices, Lumps to pass the standard 85s. ; for Grocery
goods there is no demand whatever.
MAURITIUS.-The public sale of Tuesday went off rather
easier, but no general reduction could be stated, as the sellers
would not submit to any decline, but rather took the Sugars
in at former prices; about one- half of the quantity was thus
withdrawn. There were two public sales this forenoon, con-
sisting of 1,629 bags ; the whole went off heavily at Tuesday's
prices; low yellow 625. 6d. to • 645. 6d. ; low grey 61s. to
625. The import of Mauritius Sugar up to the 31st ult. is
much larger than at the same time last year ; the stock is .
much less.
EAST INDIA.-The prices of East India Sugars are no-
minal.; there are no sales to any extent ; Manilla in particular
continues much inquired for. By public sale this day 371
bags 1 cask Bengal Sugar, the whole sold at previous prices,
good mid. white 38s. a 38s. 6d. The importation and stock
is far less than up to the end of January, 1835.
FOREIGN.-The business in Foreign: Sugars has been confined
to the public sale of 1,800 boxes white and 725 boxes yellow
Havannah, consisting mostly of very soft quality, the sale went
off heavily, only a small proportion found buyers, low and mid.
white soft 455. to 475. 6d., yellow 355. to 365., low yellow
335. The imports of Foreign Sugar up to the end of
January greatly exceed those of last year at the same period ;
the stock of Havannah is less, but of Brazil rather more. By
public sale this day 108 boxes yellow Havannah, mid. white
all taken in at 41s. 6d., one lot soft yellow taken in 345., da-
maged 30s. 6d. to 38s. 6d., 2s. to 3s. lower.
COFFEE.-Of British Plantation Coffee a public sale has
been brought forward, chiefly Demerara, mostly of unclean
quality ; about one-third sold at former prices. 333 bales of
Mocha at public sale were nearly all taken in at higher rates,
uneven brown to fair even quality 61s. 6d. to 665; a superior
parcel of Ceylon, about 200 bags, sold privately as high as 605.,
but this price is not general. 1,400 bags St. Domingo have
been offered publicly and taken in at 535. ; 118 packs Berbice
sold a shade lower ; a cargo of St. Domingo afloat has been
sold at 525. 6d., reported for Bremen. BY public sale this
day 286 bags Ceylon Coffee, good fair quality taken in at
b6s. 6d. 575., ls. to ls. 6d. per cwt. lower. The stock of
British Plantation Coffee is about 900 tons less than it was
at this period last year. The quantity of East India in the
warehouses is 'about 1,050 tons less than at the close of Jan.
1835. The stock of Foreign is about 1;850 tons less than at
the corresponding period of 1835.
IRISH PROVISIONS.-The demand for Irish Butter is very
small, in consequence of continued supplies of Foreign at
lower prices. The accounts from Ireland state that at the
several fairs last week the number of pigs were far deficient of
former years at this season of the year, and that pigs for
prime singed bacon sold at 345. to 355., so that the manufactu-
rer will not be remunerated unless he can obtain 445. to 455.
per cwt. on board for that article.

The imports of Butter are Irish 3,l62jfirks. Foreign 4,116 casks. ;
Bacon 4,556 bales.
RUM, BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.—There is no alteration in
the prices of Rum, the new arrivals continue to go off at full
Market prices. There is no change in Brandy or Geneva.
The only sale of Rum reported to- day is some Jamaica 27
over 3s. sd. The increase in the navy, mentioned in the
King's Speech, has created much interest in the Rum Market ;
another contract is expected. The report has no effect on the
Market. The stock of Rum is about 1,200 puncheons less
than last year; the imports to the present time are nearly the
same.
TALnow.—The speculators in Tallow appear to have over-
sold themselves, and they find to-day some difficulty in deli .
vering the parcels ; the prices are in consequence a little
higher, but the trad are still deterred from purchasing very
largely, on account of the quantity expected on the first open-
ing of the navigation.
WooL.—The Wool Market still continues in a very unset-
tled state, owing to the stock of all descriptions of Wool being
very small, consequently the late brisk demand has been
checked, and the prices may be stated 5 to 74 per cent.
higher than at the beginning of the year. The public sales
next week will contain about 500 bales Colonial Wool, and
about 1,400 bales Russian, Spanish, and other descriptions.
INnioo.--The sales of Indigo commenced on the 26th ult.
and ended 3d inst ; they consisted of 5,232 chests by sundry
brokers in Mincing-lane and 274 chests by the East India
