MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of last nigkt.)
SUGAR.—The demand for West India Sugar last Tuesday
to Thursday was extremely moderate, and importers sub-
mitted to a reduction on former rates of ls. ; the sales since
our last are only 600 hhds. ; the Market is closed, but will
open to-morrow; the arrivals last week were 3,600 hhds., &c.
The stock of West India Sugars is now 10,876 hhds. and
trs, being 3,140 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius
is now 75,251 bags, which is 18,646 less than last year. The
delivery of West India last week was 1,345 hhds. and trs.,
which is 1,147 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius
was 3,358 bags, being 4,484 less than the corresponding week
of last year.
The Tropic, the first vessel in this season from Barbadoes
with the new crop, has arrived with 653 hhds. and trs.
For Refined goods there has been a good demand by the
grocers at fully previous rates, but the shipping descriptions
have given way 6d. a ls., and very little done ; some parcels
of fine Crushed sold at 41s. lid. a 425. ; at the former price
there are sellers for delivery.
There is more enquiry for refined goods this afternoon, and
as the Markets have been uncommonly dull for several weeks
and small deliveries, we should not be the least surprised at a
general revival of the trade ; no parcels of British Crushed
Sugar are now offering under 425. There are now two car-
goes of Crushed Sugar of Dutch manufacture, of about 400
hhds., offering in the Market, for which the owners want 41s.
6d. per cwt. Refined goods of British make are extremely
scarce.
MAURITIUS.—The business done continues to be almost ex-
clusively confined to the parcels offered at public sale, for
which reduced prices have again been accepted ; at auction
3,115 bags went at a reduction on previous prices of 6d., low
brown selling at 495. 6d., good and fine brown 60s. a 615.,
good yellow 625. a 635. 6d. 6,000 bags are advertised for
sale on Thursday next.
The Cambria and Fortitude are reported to-day with 12,457
bags.
EAST INDIA.—The transactions in Bengal, Siam, and Ma-
nilla last week, by private contract, were very limited, still
prices keep firm ; public sales of the recent arrivals may be
shortly looked for. A cargo of Manilla Sugar reported sold
this afternoon about 31a.
FOREIGN.-A floating cargo of Bahia, not yet arrived, was
sold last week, but the price did not transpire • strong qualities
of Havannah and Brazil continue to be much enquired after
at full Market prices, but owing to the scanty supply at Market
very little has been done. The only sale that transpired was
300 chests Brazil. This day the enquiries after Havannah
and Brazil were considerable, and some parcels of the latter
reported at fully former Market prices.
At a late hour this afternoon the sales of Foreign Sugar
were ascertained to be 900 to 1,000 chests, mostly yellow
Havannah, at about 375.
Average price of Sugar 1/. 18s. 2d. per cwt.
MOLASSES,—The Market for West India is very heavy.
The total deliveries of West India Molasses from the ware-
houses for the week ending April 2d, amount to 2,417 cwt.
Cocoa.—The total deliveries of West India Cocoa from
the warehouses for the week ending April 2d, are 4,008 lbs.
TURPENTINE.—For parcels of Rough 18s. 6d. to 19s. paid.
Spirits are again higher, and a eonsiderable business doing.
LAC DYE.—Prices remain firm, and there is a very good
demand.
Hors.--At the quotations there has been again a very brisk
demand for Hops, and owing to the quantity left unsold being
small, holders are looking for higher prices.
COFFEE.—There has been a good demand for the clean
descriptions of British Plantation Coffee, for which the grocers
have paid very full prices ; a public sale of 84 bags unclean
Demerara went at fully former rates, fine fine ordinary selling
at 88s. and 905., mid. coloury, 935. 6d. For Ceylon there
has been a very steady demand at 555. and 565. per cwt. In
Foreign nothing done ; the holders continue to offer very
high rates ; the offers of 535. for cargoes of Brazil afloat are re-
fused, the importers declining to sell within ls. of that price.
For small parcels of Ceylon this afternoon 555. a 565. was
paid, and at the latter price there are ready sellers. The
clean kinds of British Plantations are scarce and in good de-
mand at full prices. The public sales of East India adver-
tised for next week are 3,500 bags. The total deliveries of

Coffee from the warehouses for the week ending April 2nd, are
91,50 lbs. of East India, and 94,4351b5. of West India.
TALLolf.—The speculative demand for Tallow to be deli-
tefeci in the last three months continues to be very great,
445. dd. a 445. Vd. paid, and at those prices there are exten-
sive buyers, but no sellers now tinder 455. The prices on the
spot have risen 3d. a 61, and the trade have bought very freely
for immediate consumption, 435. 3d. a 435. 6d, has been paid.
This afternoon 1,000 casks Tallow sold for arrival at 455. i
the price on the spot uncertain, on account of the ascertained
deficiency this season in the supply from St. Petersburg.
COCHINEAL.—There is very little doing at present, still
holders will not give way in prices ; the chief part of the late
arrival of 525 bags, it is expected, will be brought to the
hammer during the present month.
Rum, BRANDT, AND HOLLANDS.—There is not much
doing in the Rum Market, on account of the short supply, and
also in consequence of but a very small portion of the arrivals
last week having at present been offered for sale ; prices
of all kinds remain firm. There is a little business doing
in the low qualities of Brandy for shipping ; the fine sorts
are offered at a reduction on last week's rates of 3d. per
gallon, but without finding buyers ; the arrivals last week
have mcuh increased the stock, which is now very heavy,
Geneva of fine quality has been sold at the quay at Is. I Id.
per gallon.
COTTON.—The demand continues extremely animated,
and prices are on the rise ; the private sales yesterday ex-
ceeded 3,000 bales at an advance on all kinds of lid. At
Liverpool the business done last week was very great, the sales
amounting to 36,800 hales, at prices id. a id., and in some
cases at an advance on former Izites of Id. per lb.
TEA.—There has been but litt2e demand for Tea since
last Tuesday, the trade generally hoiding off in consequence
of the near approach of the public sales, still it is impos-
sible to purchase without paying a profit of id. a ld. The
public sales, which will commence on Tuesday next, will
consist principally of good and fine qualities. The to: al deli-
veries of all descriptions of Tea from the warehouses on %-hich
duty has been paid for the week ending April the 2d ace
436,7001b5.
PROVISIONS.—There is a revival in the Irish Butter
market ; the demand during the last two days having been
exceedingly brisk, and prices have risen 2s. ; the business
done has been principally to supply country orders, and
mostly for Yorkshire, and Scotland, and parcels have been
sold even for Ireland. Foreign has advanced to 965. a
98s. for Friezland, and 90s. a 925. for Holstein and Kiel,
and there are ready buyers, but owing to the supply being
very small, not much business has been done. The Bacon
market is very heavy, but holders continue to ask full
prices. Lard is in demand at former rates. Im Hams
there is a good deal doing. The market for Mess and
India Provisions is still quiet, but prices are not lower.
The arrivals of Pork last week from 1: eland were large.
Spiess.—The market for Pepper is quiet, still holders will
not submit to lower prices. Nutmegs are unaltered in value,
and there continues to be a very fair demand for home con-
sumers ; there have been several small arrivals sinee last Tues-
day. The holders of Cassia Lignea having refused to sell but
at higher prices have much checked the demand. Pimento
remains at last week's rates, and there is a very fair demand.
In Cloves nothing done. West India Ginger is in good re,

quest.
OlLS.—There is a considerable business doing in Cod Oil
for shipping, as well as for home use, at 38/. 10s. ; all other
kinds of common Oils command fully last week's rates, and
the home demand is very good.—For Sperm ,very little de-
mand at present. In Linseed Oil there is an extensive busi-
ness doing for the American market, the sales since Friday ex-
ceed 200 tuns at 471. ; at the same price the home trade have
been large purchasers. Rape is rather higher.
INDIGO.—The Market for East India is very firm, holders
refusing to sell, excepting at an advance on last sale's rate of
6d., 7d., and Bd. for picked parcels, but there is very little
demand at present. The inspection is proceeding very slowly.
This afternoon it is reported a sale of 100 chests Indigo has
taken place at a considerable advance on last sale's prices,
which we believe is quite correct. The total deliveries of East
India Indigo from the warehouses for the week ending April
2, are 20,716 lbs.
RICE —For Bengal there has been a very brisk demand, and
stiffer prices obtained; the offer of 15s. for,a large parcel of
good bold middling quality was refused.
IRON AND LEAD.---In English Lead there is plenty of busi-
ness doing; iron is also selling to some extent. Prices of all
kinds of metals are on the advance.
WlNE.—There is a very good demand for all descriptions of
Wine, particularly for exportation.
SPELTER.—There is a considerable business doing; the
sales last week were 700 tons for spring delivery at 18/., be-
sides parcels on the spot at 191. per ton.
QUICKSILVER.—About 4000 bottles have been sold by a se-
cond-hand holder at 4s. per lb.
NITRATE OF SODA.—There has been an arrival of 2,191
bags, which is advertised for public sale in about 14 days.
SALTPETRE.—The holders ask full prices for rough, but the
demand has become very moderate.
