MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 9.)

SIIOAR.—To-day there was a material increase in the
supply of Colonial Sugar at market, yet former rates were
generally obtained, as there was a good home demand. In
West India a good trade was concluded at prices equal to
those of Friday. The purchases amounted to 600
hhds, &c., including 152 hhds 8 trs 7 brls Barbadoes
at public sale, which realised steady rates; fine
yellow brought 40s to 40s 6d, good 38s to 395, middling
and good middling 36s to 37s 6d; but 267 hhds 13 trs
and 96 barrels West; India however went upon rather
lower terms—Jamaica, good yellow sold at 37s 6d to 38s,
middling 36s to 3;s, low 35s 6d, good brown 34s 6d, fine
35s 6d; Trinidad, ordinary yellow 34s 6d, good brown
33s 6d; Berbice, middling grey 35s to 35s 6d, low 34s to
34s 6d; Demerara, low and middling grey 34s 6d to 355.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was not so much
in demand for home use, yet prices ruled firm; brown
Grocery lumps of good quality, at 48s 6d, and
Standard lumps 49s to 50s. Crushed Sugar is still
wanted; British at from 28s to 29s per cwt.
MAURITIITS.—This afternoon there was a considerable
increase in the supply of Mauritius Sugar at market.
Five public sales took place, consisting of 12,348 bags, a
fair proportion of which comprised the better descrip-
tions of yellow; the demand being active for such, the
whole sold at full rates, but inferior and brown were only
partly taken upon rather lower rates.

. -
EAST INDIA.—This afternon there was a larger sup •
ply of Bengal Sugar, and 6,645 bags 338 chests were
brought forward by public sale; the better sorts were
sold upon full terms—good strong yellow realising 40s
to 41s, fine 41s 6d to 435, superior 46s 6d to 475, ordi-
nary 36s 6d, fine white Cossipore 48s 6d to 49s 6d; but
other kinds only partly found buyers at barely former
terms. Of Madras, 2,300 bags were offered, and only
part sold.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Fo-
reign Sugar, and privately little business was concluded.
Holders remain firm—brown Havannah is held for 18s
to 184 6d, yellow 19; to 235.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was a greater activity
in the market for all sorts of Ceylon Coffee, and the
public sales were well attended by the home trade. The
parcels offered were all sold, and amounted to 134 casks
2,828 bags, whilst the rates obtained were 2s for
Plantation, and is per cwt for Native above those of
last week. Of Bengal 131 bags went at 32s for ordinary
mixed, rather worm eaten. Three cases Mocha fine 70s
9d; and 44 bags Costa Rica fine ord 35s per cwt.
TEA.—For Congou the demand has been brisk, and
prices continue on the advance, making the rise on low
and middling sorts within a month of Id to lid, and for
these the demand has been the most active. The value
of common sound clean is 8d to 81d, and good
ordinary 9d to 91d, low midding and middling 10d
to Ild, good middling and good Is to is 24d, fine
Is 3d to is 6d, and Pekoe flavour is 6d to is 9d. In
sorts from 8d to 10d some speculative purchases have
been concluded. In Souchong a large amount of business
has been concluded—ordinary at 8d to 10d, mid to good
Is to is Bd, fine and choice is 9d to 2s 3d. Town and
country orders continue to get larger for Green, and
prices have assumed an upward tendency; several par-
cels are also withdrawn from the market.

SPIRITS.—For Brandy the market looks firm and a
good demand exists from the home trade. Cognac best
brands of the vintage of 1846 has been selling at
4s 10d to ss, ditto 1847, at 3s 9d to 3s lid, ditto
1848 at 3s 4d to 3s 6d, and inferior sorts 2s 2d to 3s per
gallon. There is only a moderate stock, and de-
liveries continue upon a large scale. Holders of
Geneva ask is 10d to is I Id for ord exportation sort,
and 2s 6d to 3s for fine suitable for home use; there are,
however, few buyers. British made Spirit is in good
demand at lOs net cash; Gin 17 per cent. under proof at
9s, and 22 ditto 8s 6d per gallon. To-day Rum met
with attention, and realised further reduced rates; proof
Leewards selling at Is 5d to is 6d, East India is 4-id to
Is sd. and Demerara 30 to 38 per cent. over proof, 2s 2d
to 2s 5d per gallon.
RICE.—To-day two parcels of Carolina Rice from
New York were offered at auction amounting to 168
pkgs, when a small part only sold at 19s to 20s for first
sort. For East India the demand was dull, and 880
bgs Bengal only in part found buyers at 9s 6d for mid
yellowish white, and at 6s to 9s for damaged, which are
rather lower rates. Of Tapioca 32 barrels went at 4d
for ord, and 2td for damaged.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon supplies of Cochineal
were upon a large scale, and the public sales comprised
180 bags of Honduras and 140 bags Mexican. There
was not so much demand, and for the better sorts of
Honduras silvers prices declined Id, but inferior fetched
full rates.
SALTPETRE.—To-day a fair amount of business was
concluded in rough by private treaty. At auction 495
bags of Calcutta sold at firm rates; good mid grey 54
per cent. refraction reached 26s 6d to 275, mid 74 do.
25s 6d to 265; 147 Madras, mid grey 14k per cult. 255,
and damaged 23s per cwt.
SPICES.—To-day only a moderate demand existed for
Pimento, and 185 bags at auction were taken in above
the value, from 3kd to 4d for good ord and mid. Ginger
is not much wanted, and 200 pkts of Bengal went
rather cheaper.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India has been
fixed for the 13th of February, and the quantity de-

dared is already 9,000 chts ; the total amount to be
offered is estimated at 12,000 chts. On the part of
holders there is firmness, and a fair business has been
concluded at an advance on the rates of the last quar-
terly sale of 2d for Bengal, and 2d to 3d per lb. for
Madras. For Spanish former rates are insisted upon,
whilst the demand appears to be brisker.
TALLOW.—There is still little disposition manifested
to make purchases in Russian on the spot, and prices
aro yet retrograding, as the stock on hand is extensive.
Sellers are willing to accept 41s 6d to 42s per
cwt for fine P. Y. Candle, still soapmakers
and chandlers only purchase sufficient for their im-
mediate wants. For delivery little business has
been concluded, and 42s is the recent value for last three
months of the year. Home melted is to be obtained at
42s net cash, yet few buyers are to be met with, and
supply does not get smaller. The public sales of tallow
went off quietly, but the parcels offered were all sold.
For auction the quantity declared is 1,000 pkgs of
Tallow. Rough Fat has declined to 2s 5d per stone of
81bs.

OlL.—Sperm is further depressed in value, the supply
having been much increased, whilst only a moderate de-
mand has been experienced. At auction, however, a fair
portion of 120 tuns sold. Of American there is a large
amount on offer, and holders are yet willing
to realise. For all common Fish Oils the market has a
firm aspect, and supplies are small, whilst a larger
demand exists. In Cocoa Nut the sales made
have been of little moment, and sellers are ready
to accept 33s to 37s for low to fine. Palm met with
rather more attention by private treaty ; in the
value, however, we have little variation to make known.
Linseed Oil finds an active demand for home trade
purposes, and exporters were again induced to
take several parcels. Rape Oil is wanted.
Olive is in greater demand, and only a mode-
rate quantity has again come to hand. On Friday 90
tuns Seal, 15 tuns Cod, 10 tuns Lard, 95 tuns Southern,
45 tuns Cocoa Nut, 10 tuns Sperm Oil will be offered at
public sale.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, JAN. 9.
Messrs. Taylor and Brights' circular states that
it is believed that so large a supply in one month is
without precedent at this port, and it has proved much
beyond what the market could sustain; prices of each
article have receded considerably, and on some as much
as 20 per cent., entailing a heavy loss on the importer; a
good deal, however, from necessity in some cases, and
conviction that the depression was temporary in others,
has been placed in granary, and after the Ist proximo
this market will afford good choice of samples, though it
is hardly likely at so low a range of prices as we have
been able to purchase at during the past week, when a
good business has been done at fully the rates of last
Tuesday. Bond wheat, barley, and peas have attracted
most favour—of the former, Pomeranian has sold at 41s
to 43s per quarter, Danish (stale) at 38s. Saal barley
fetches 28s to 295, grinding may be bought at 20s to 23s
as in weight and quality. A good many of the recently
arrived white peas have been taken off the market at 24s
to 26s per qr, 631 b. The neighbouring farmers brought
a good supply of wheat for to-day's market; the con-
dition was various; Mark-lane disappoints, and the
weather having yesterday changed from sharp frost to
rain, the tone of the trade was rather lost; still we had
a good many inquiries for bond wheat, and but for
holders stiffening in their ideas, some extent of business
would be practicable. A mere trifle of free wheat in
the port, but it meets no demand, every one holding' back
for the release of bond sto2ks, so that the prices of
the two almost assimilate. The demand for barley is
good; fine qualities are fair sale to maltsters; and the
low prices submitted to for grinding descriptions have
brought forward a few speculators. Fine dry beans,
both new and old are good to sell; but soft ones hang
heavy on hand. There was a little better demand for
the finer descriptions of peas during the week, but milder
weather checks it somewhat; low qualities have been
largely dealt in, and are not so good to buy to-day. We
do not hear of any transaction in oats. Indian corn
sells.at 32s per 4801bs, and only very little on offer. The
linseed arrival is again rather large, but the market is
well supported. It is estimated we commence the year
with about 100,000 quarters of all descriptions. We
quote Black Sea at 39s 6d to 40s ; Petersburgh, 38s to
395; Lower Baltic, 34s to 375. So little rapeseed on
offer, the article is hardly quotable; fair old is worth
26/ per last. Linseed cakes are again easier to buy; the
unseasonable mildness and very low prices of other arti-
cles of feed is doubtless the cause of this article remain-
ing at its present figure. There is a good choice of
foreign in the port, and some lots that might be bought
at a speculative price. Nothing passes in rape cakes,
either English or Foreign. With light arrivals and
stocles of bones, the market has a firm tendency without
actual business.

We had but little life in the wheat trade to-day, and
prices are scarcely so good as this day week. Barley of

cheaper. Malt very heavy, and lower in price. Flour,

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 9.—We have fair supplies this week
of oats, oatmeal, and flour, from Ireland, and of barley
and malt coastwise. The receipts of British wheat are
very small, but the foreign arrivals are again large of
wheat, flour, Indian corn, and Indian meal. Duties
have been paid at this port between the 30th December,
1848, and sth January, inclusive, on wheat; foreign, 187
qrs.; colonial, 52 qrs. Flour—foreign, 58 brls.; colo-
nial, 7,485 brls. Indian corn—foreign, 16,767 quarters.
Beans—foreign, 2,542 qrs. Peas, colonial, 254 quarters.
Indian corn meal—foreign, 5,515 qrs. The trade has
been inactive throughout the week, both holders and
millers and dealers seeming disposed to wait the release
from bond on the Ist of next month. Where transac-
tions have occurred, prices have inclined to the buyers.
At to-day's market the sales of free wheat and flour were
in mere retail parcels, at a reduction from last Tuesday
of id per bushel, and 6(1 per sack and barrel. No ope-
rations transpired in bonded wheat and flour, and prices
remained as quoted last week. Oats were id to I d per
bushel, and oatmeal 6d per load lower. Beans, peas, and
Indian corn each declined is per qr., and the general
demand was very dull. The market was well supplied
with malting barley, and the prices gave way fully 23
per quarter. Grinding barley was ld to 2d per bushel
cheaper.
LEEDS, JAN. 9.—Our arrival of grain to-day is only
moderate. Wheat meets a slow sale at rather under last
week's rates. Fine barley is is cheaper; other qualities
are 2s lower. Oats and beans are sold on lower terms.
MANCHESTER, JAN. 9.—There is an absence of acti-
vity in the market to-day, which contrasts strongly with
the busy aspect it has presented of late. Buyers are,
generally, keeping aloof for the present, finding it im-
possible to yield to the advances now asked, and pro
ducers, on the other hand, being well engaged, Mow no
disposition to take fresh contracts, except at better
prices. This state of things of course leads to a tem-
porary pause. The cessation of business alluded to is
fully more applicable to the yarn than to the goods
market. In the latter, printing cloths of all kinds are so
scarce as to command the fullest rates of last week, and
a fair inquiry for other descriptions is experienced, al-
though not resulting in any extensive operations. The
home trade houses have had a good many country cus-
tomers within the last few days, and are looking for-
ward to a brisk spring trade.—Manchester Examiner
and Times.
LEEDS, JAN. 9.—There was a good attendance of
buyers in the cloth halls this morning, and a consider-
able amount of business was done both for the home and
foreign trades. Woaded blues add wool-dyed blacks of
middle and better qualities were in demand, with an as-
sortment of rifle, olive, and brown cloths, and a few
pilots. Prices were not materially altered.
HECHMONDWIECE,
JAN. B.—The attendance of mer-
chants in the Blanket Hall this afternoon was somewhat
improved, but there was no corresponding increase in
the extent of the business transacted. Still it was un-
derstood that orders to a considerable extent were given
out for early shipment. There was no quotable altera-
tion in value.

PETERBOROUGH, JAN. 6.—We have a good supply of
all grain to this day's market. The growers hold their
wheats firm, and are not willing to take less than last
week's rates, so that little business has been done.
Barley, a dull sale at Is. decline. Oats and beans are
each rather lower. Currency to the growers:—Wheat,
