MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the _tmxclon New Price Current, Dee. 7.)
SucAn.—To•day there was a further decrease in the
quantity of all kinds of Sugar offered for sale, whilst
home dealers came forwerd with greater freedom. Former
terms were well supported for West India, and from both
grocers and refiners there was a fair demand, whilst the
quantity sold amounted to 450, making for the week
2,150 lihds and tree. The Sugar market closes with a
firm appearance, and for the better sorts there is a pros-
pect of prices slightly improving. Only two small parcels
of Lag India were submitted to public sale to-day.
IiEFINED.—TO day Editled Sugar sold freely for
home trade purposes, and former rates are well sup-
ported: there is a tendency to advance. I❑ the value of
Bonded Crushed there is no variation.

MAIIRITIUS.—The supply is more plentiful, especially
of better sorts, still full rates have been obtained for
both grocery and refining kinds, there having been a
more active demand. At public sale 3,110 bags were
all disposed of, chief part of which consisted of the
new crop, and went as follows:—fine and superior
yellow 39s Gil to 41s 6d, middling to good 37s to 395,
low 36s to 36s 6:1, good and fine brown 34ai to 35s 6d,
inferior 32s to 338 6d, low 29s to 31s, and ordinary to
fine grey 34s to 393 per cwt. By private treaty a fair
quantity of sugar bas been sold. There are further ar-
rivals of the new crop, still the stock is much less than
at this timo last year.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 30.3 bags
Bengal Sugar were sold at full rates; fine yellow, like
Mauritius, realized 38s to 33s Gd, middling and good
36s Gd to 37s Gd, damp and washed 36s 6d to 37s 6d. Of
Madras 436 bags went at the full value•, good and fine
soft brown at 29s 6d to 325, low and middling yellow 30s
to 31s 6d per cwt._

FOREIGN.—To. day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and by private treaty only small purchases were
made, but holders refused to submit to any further de-
cline.

of holders to realiz3. There has been a stdady sale for

iaaFt
COCOA.--Foreign
14sis held ith firrnne!s, and a fair
extent of business has been concluded this week by
private treaty at 26s to 27s per cwt, whilst none has
been offered at public sale. For West India the de-
mand continues to get better, and Is to 2s higher rates
are paid; there is also a less plentiful supply. At
public sale 259 bags Trinidad were sold at 403 to 46s
for red, and at 39s to 42s for low to fine grey.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there were ready buyers of
Planiation Ceylon Coffee, and former rates are well
supported, whilst there is a decrease of supply. At
public sale 89 casks 540 bags were all sold; good fetched
68s, middling 62s to 655, low middling 58s to 593, fine
to fine fine ordinary 55s 6d to 573 6d, and triage 47s to
515. Only small purchases were made in Native by
private treaty, good ordinary at 593 6d to 51s.
TEL—Fine new Congou is still in good demand, and
the parcels sold at from is 6d to is 9d per lb ; the ope-
rations in other sorts have been limited at 9,1 to Is sd,
and low to mid ord at Id to 8d; the tendency of prices
is still to decline, and merchants are willing sellers.
Green has been operated in with caution, and for the
better sorts rather lower terms are acceded to, but
full rates are insisted upon for the lower sorts. The
value of Ilyson is Is to Is 3d for low and good ord, and
Is 4d to 3s for better sorts ; Young Ilyson 8d to is 4d,
good to fine is 6d to 2s 10d; Imperial Canton Is to 13;4d;
Ilyson sort Is6d to 2s 10d: Gunpowder Canton Is3d to Is
7d, and Hyson kind is Sd to Is; Twrnkay inferior 6d to
7d, bettor kind 7-I.d to 11d; Ilyson skin low to fine 8d to
1-, and caper 8d to Is 6d. Flowery Pekoe has been
operated in with caution at is to is 31, black leaf 9d
to is 2, plain orange 10,1 to Is, and scented is is 2d to
Is 10d per lb. .
Ries.—To-day at public sale 1,583 bags Bengal Rice
were taken in at 103 6d to I Is for good middling:and
good white, being rather above the value. l'or public

sale next week the quantity of Bice declared is large,
and amounts to 10,000 bags; the chief portion of which
is Madras.

SPICES.—To-day at public Palo 199 chests of Cassia
Lignea went at a further reduction; first pile sold at
101 s 6d to 102 s 6d, second pile 98s 6d to 993 6d, third
pile 94s to 953 broken ends 925, mouldy 90s to 96s 6d,
broken ends and mouldy 863 to 87s. Of Mslal)ar Pepper
872 bags were all sold at .11 to 3i for heavy, but 286
bags Malabar Ginger were taken in at 263 6d for bold
export sort.
COCHINEAL continues in excellent demand, and a
slight advance in the value for ordinary sorts is apparent,
whilst better kinds sustain last week's terms. At public
sale 161 bags Honduras silvers were sold at from 3s 7d
to 4s 3d for ordinary to good; 15 bags black, common
to good 3s lld to sa; 135 bags Mexican silvers 3s 6d to
3s 8d; and 7 bags Teneriffee 3s 10d to 3s lid, and black
4.3 3d to 4s sd; 5 bags Lima 3s 6d to 3s 9d.
INDIGO.—A good trade has been concluded in East
India this week to supply the wants of home dealer and
shippers, whilst in some cases an advance of 2d per lb
has been paid. Since the quarterly sales only 1,600
chts have been sold.
FRIIIT.—The demand for Currants for the last few
days has not been brisk, but prices continue very firm.
The stock of good and fine is very small, and the latter
description sells readily at 425. New Valencia Raisins
are held firmly at 483, with the exception of one cargo
of an inferior quality, which has been offered to the trade
at 475. We have nothing of consequence to notice as
regards Figs, Museatels and Sultanas.
SPIRITS.—FuII rates are asked f.-r Jamaica Rum, and
sales to a fair extent have been made in good and fine
sorts. East India is not much wanted, still there arc
few sel!ers under is 3id proof. Fur Leeward Island
prices keep firm at Is 4id to is 5d proof.
Demerara at 2s to 2s 3d for 28 to 30 per cant
over proof. The market for Brandy is quiet--Cognac
best brands of the vintage of 1846, at 4s 53 to 4s 7d ;
1847 ditto, 5s ld to 52 3d; inferior sorts, 2s 83 to 4s 2d;
and Bordeaux, 2s 6d to 2s 83. Geneva at is 9d to is
10d. There is no variation in British made Spirit. IThe
quantity of Rum sold for the week has been chiefly
confined to 100 puns, at from 2s 3d to 3s 7d for 31 to 38
per cent over proof.

went at higher rates ; of South American 1,240 pkgs

and 5 casks East India 39s 3d per cwt.
OlLS.—There are few buyers of Linseed Oil on the
spat for home trade purposes or shipping, a hilst crushers
are disposed of to sell at 28s to 28s 3d per cwt. For de-
livery in the early part of next year several contracts
have been concluded at 28s 3d to 28s 6d, and there are
not free sellers. Rapeseed Oil is yet scarce, but there are
few buyers; refined is held for 42s Gd to 435, brown 41s

delivery saes can be made under these rates.
Palm fine at 323 6d to 335; for Olive purchases
