MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

MARKET INTELLIGE., CE.
(From the London New Price Current, May 8.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a further improvement in
the market for all sorts of raw sugar, and a less quantity
was on offer. There was a brisk demand for West India
for home trade purposes, and the rates obtained in the
private market were 6rl per cwt above those current
on Friday. A public sale of 150 hhds Barba-
does went briskly at an advance of 6d to Is per
cwt; find yellow realised 42s to 42s 6d, middling to good
40s to 41s 6d, low 39s 6d; 120 hhds, 3 tierces, and 257
barrels of St. Lucia, sold at stiffer rates, good yellow
fetched 393 6d, good grey 38s 6d to 395, low to middling
37s to 38s, and good brown 36s to 36a 6d per cwt. The
total purchases today amounted to 1,520 hhds, &c. The
market for all sorts of Sugar closes with much firmness.

REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with a ready
sale for home-trade purposes, and better rates were ob-
tained. Brown grocery lumps sold at 51s to 51s 6d,
and Standard Lumps 523 to 52s 6d per cwt. Of infe-
rior sorts the supply is barely sufficient for the demand.

303 6d per cwt.

and good soft yellow 37s to 395, ordinary 36s 6d, fine

at former rates, and on the part of holders there is con-
fidence.

none has again been submitted to public sale. By private
treaty operations were upon a more extended scale, and
at firm rates; Trinidad, red has been selling at 403 to
465, and. grey 38a to 435. Only a moderate demand
exists for Foreign, yet holders are firm, and require 28s
to 30s per cwt.

active appearance, and prices have an upward tendency.
By private treaty 200 puns have been sold at 20s for
Trinidad, and at 21s 6d for fine Dominica; there are
many buyers rather under these rates. Bengal Treacle
is held for 16s to 16s 6d.
