MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(Fresa the Logsdon New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—The Sugar Market continued dull all the last
week at the reduction we stated on Tuesday ; the esti-
mated sales were only 2,400 hhds. and trs. The stock of
West India Sugar is now 11,369 hhds. and trs., which is
17 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius, 68,957
bags, being 61,568 less than last year. The delivery of
West India Sugar last week, 2,497 hhds. and tre., being
376 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius, 7,391
bags, being 7,265 less than in the corresponding week of
1830. There are no Muscovades on show this morning
on account of the holiday. The Refined Market was very
heavy last week, and the few purchases reported were ra-
ther on easier terms ; the reduction took place both on the
shipping qualities, and also on the fine for home con-
sumption ; fine crashed offers at 355., the mid. sold in
parcels, 31s. a 325. There is no business of any conse-
quence in Refined owing to the holiday time. The whole-
sale grocers evince some inclination to extend their pur-
chases of fine goods for the home consumption of the
country.

FOREIGN SUGARS.-The sales of Foreign are parcels of
brown Bahia, 17s. 611. a 19s. ; mid. to good white, 245.
6d. a 28s. 6d. ; good strong white Havannah, at 345.
Average price of Sugar, 11. ss. 44d. per ctvt.

COFFEE.-The Coffee Market was heavy last week, and
generally lower, particularly East India; ord. to good
ord. Sumitra 295. a 315., which was Is. a 2s. lower ;
good ord. pale Batavia 365. 6d. and 375., which was Is.
lower; fair Mocha taken in at 635. The small parcels
of British Plantation which were brought forward sold
heavily, but no general reduction in the prices could be
stated. There are no public sales of Coffee this day, anti
up to a late hour no purchases by private contract were
reported.
Rum, BRANDY, AND Hotr.ANns.—The reduction we
stated in L,eward Island Rum has been fully confirmed by
private contract, about 200 puns. proof and a shade over
being sold at Is. 6d. ; we believe there is no other trans-
action in Rum to report. Brandy is dull, but no parcels
offer at any material decline ; the accounts of the vintage
are not so unfavourable as formerly, but they state the
vine was so cut down from the frost of the previous year,
that the vintage must be deficient this year under any
circumstances. Geneva is neglected. The deliveries of
Rums from the warehouses are extensive, last week 930
puns. and hhds. of which 356 were for home consump-
tion ; one parcel, five and six over, sold by one of the late
speculators at Is. 6d.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—There is no material
alteration in the 'fallow Market, the prices are still
apparently declining, but they are only a shade
lower. In Hemp or Flax there is little change this week.
This day's sale 223 casks, 941 skins, prime o,!eisa Tallow
sold at 395. 91. and 40s.
CorroN.—There is no alteration in the Cotton Market.
The sales are too trivial for enumeration.

Torsacco.—The late sales ate confined to small parcels
for home consumption and fo: Ireland.
SALTPETRE.--There is no alteration in Saltpetre.
Ou.s.—Considerable sal-ts of Linseed Oil are still re-
ported. Seal Oil is scarce, but for arrival contracts are
reported on lower terms. Cocoa Nut Oil in parcels 294.
a 31s.

basil Paovistorts.—The import of Foreign Butter
during the past week was 3,465 casks, of Irish not a
firkin, and of Bacon but 202 bales; the old Butter now
at the wharfs is mostly of low and inferior qualities, the
prices for which are mostly nominal ; of new there is
none, but from Cork, Waterford, and Limerick, there
are different parcels now on the passage, which have been
sold at 9Ss. down to 925. on board; very little disposi-
tion evinced to purchase for forward shipment. Dutch
Batters we quote Ioos.—The stock of aleall is consi-
derably reduced, and the trade purchase with more confi-
dence, 455. a 465. may be quoted for singed Waterford
both landed and on board; Ildtast bale Middles 445. a
455. landed.—ln Hams of Bladder L trd we cannot not:
any alteration in price. For both Beef and Pork but
little inquiry in the past week.
Smx.--The Market is extremely flat, and prices look-
ing down.
INDIGO.--The market is without alteration. The ac •
counts from Calcutta state large purchases of Indigo for
France; these imports into Bordeaux will have an un-
favourable effect here. Last week, at public sae, 68
serous Guatemala sold 2s. a 3s. 54. This day 26 serous
3s. 3d. per 11). fair parcel roll at an average of
Guatemala Indigo, a

TEA.—The market is very flat, and the prompt on
Friday is Lager than usual ; nearly every description of
Tea at a discount.

Fuurr.—Red Smyrna Raisins sell freely at 40s. ; all
other Fruit dull.

Hoes., 3,020 bags Nack Pepper, being the first Corn-
