MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Oct. 2.)
Sugar;.—To-day former rates were required for West
India; still on the part of grocers or refiners not much
desire was evinced to operate. The purchases amounted
to only 380 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 165 hhels
Barbadoes, which went generally at the former value;
low to middling at 37s to 38s 6d, good to fine 39s to
40s 6d. and low soft at 363 per cwt. The market for
all sorts of sugar has a quiet appearance.
REFINED.—To-day there was rather more demand for
refined Sugar for home trade purposes, and prices ruled
firm; brown lumps at 47s to 47s 6d, and fair grocery at
48s to 48s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull
of sale at former rates.

MAURITIIIB.—This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritius Sugar, and by private treaty little business
was done, whilst sellers were ready to accept former
rates.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was not more
activity in the market for Bengal Sugar; three parcels
amounting to 3,835 bags were offered at auction, and a
part only sold at 6d per cwt decline. Benares fine white
went at 40s 6d to 41s, good 39s to 40s, mid 383 6d,
damp and washed 37s to 41s, soft yellow mid to fine
36s to 383 6d, grainy yellow 41s to 435, white 45s 6d to

low 31s to 325, ord to good brown 29. s 64 to 31s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Fo-
reign Sugar, and by private treaty the business con-
cluded was small for all purposes. There are sellers
upon rather lower terms.
MOLASSES.—In West India a large business has been
concluded in all sorts at fully former rates. The pur-
chases amot nt to 600 puns, Antigua, fine at 18s, St.
Mitt's, Nevis, and Dominica, at 15s 6d per cwt. Ben-
gal Treacle has been disposed of at 15s.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little inquiry after
Native Ceylon by private treaty, and 88s 6d to 39s
per cwt is the value of good urd. A public sale of
1,264 bags of Plantation went rather lower, and only
a part sold—mid 53s to 578, low mid 49s to 525,
fine fine ord 44e to 48s, inferior 37s to 435,
pea berry 563 to 58s. 2 casks and 64 brls Jamaica has
sold rather cheaper—low mid went 46s to 48s 6d, fine
fine ord 43s to 45i, fine ord 393 to 409, and low 34a to
365. 840 bags Costa Rica were only in part sold—mid

44s to 47s 6d, and damaged 36s to 46s per cwt, which
are full rates.

Cocoa.—There is still little desire to make purchases
in West India, and prices continue to recede on account
of a large supply at market. Of 556 bags Grenada
offered at public sale a small part only sold at 36s to
435, and 70 pkgs Trinidad at 37s to 40e for low to mids
dling grey : the supply for the most part again consisted
of the lower sorts. For Foreign a desire is evinced to
sell at 25i to 275.
TEa.—Since last Tuesday none has been submitted
to auction, but by private treaty the market is well sup-
plied with green; there is no increase in the amount
of black on offer. There are still many purchasers
of ordinary and good Congou at 91 to 101 per lb,
and there are not fre sellers, but the better sorts
continue to be purchased with caution, and can easily
be obtained upon former terms of lld ta is 3d, fine
blackish leaf and Pekoe flavour is 4d to is 101. In
Green the business concluded has been of little moment,
and sellers are disposed to accept rather lower terms.
Fur Pekoe Tea previous rates are insisted upon, still
only limited purchases have been made.
RICE.—To day Bengal Rice was less in demand for
all purposes, and at auction 3,728 bags 487 pkts Bengal
went upon rather lower terms; ord white at 8s to 8s 6d,
mid 9s to Os 6d, good 9; 6d to 10s, fine 10s to lOs 6d, one

heavy at to 3i: these are full rates.
SPIRITB.-Jamaica RUM is offered at former low rates,
yet the purchases made have been small for all purposes
and are confined to 150 puns at 2s 6d to 3s 31 for 33 to
36 per cent over proof, and small parcels of superior
quality at from 3s 6d to 35 10d ; D, morara is
not higher, yet there are few buyers, and only 150
puns have been sold at 2s 2d to 2s 3d for 33 to 36
over, with small parcels at Is 101 to 2s for 28 to 30 per
cent. For Leeward Island former rates are asked. The
market is in a quiet state; the sales do not exceed 150
hhds at Is 4d to Is sd. East India met with little atten-
tion, and 250 hogsheads have been disposed of at
Is 31, with small parcels of low quality at is 2i-d proof.

for British made Spirit at 9e 8d proof, and for Gin at 8s
to 8s 6d for 17 to 22 per cent under proof.

upon a large scale during the last few days, and the
price has declined 4s per cwt., but et 42s the demand is
good. There are supplies of New Currants, and the price
opened at 425, which is lower than was expected, and 2s
to 3s per cwt under last season.

and at the public sales held yesterday, of 65 srns, prices
advanced Id to 2d per lb for the lower sorts, whilst the
better kinds realised full terms. The whole offered found
buyers at from is 9.1 to 3s 9d for Guatemala, and at
3a 10d to 4s 10d per lb for better sort. In East India a
fair business has been concluded upon the terms of the
last qu aterly auctions. The sales will commence on
Tuesday next, and consist of 19,771 chests.

have been given. The demand has been active, espe-
cially for exportation, and the principal portion offered

Mexican silvers, ord and mid 3s 4d to 3s Bd, and black
ord to good 3s 8d to 4s.
TALLow.—Prices are further depressed for Russian
on the spot, and dealers continue to make purchases
with reluctance. There are sellers of fine P.Y.C. at
36s 61 to 36s 9d, and these rates, are 8s to lOs per cwt
lower than last year at this time. Only small sales
have been made tor delivery in the last three months of
the year, although sellers are willing to accept the
low terms of 36s to 36s 3d. Home melted is offered
at 36s to 37s nett cash, still only a moderate trade has
been concluded. A further decline occurred in prices
at the public sales; 830 pkgs South American were only
in part sold at 32s 3d to 36s for low to fine; 110 casks
Sydney, 34s to 365; 70 casks East India 30s 6d to 435,

straw and tinged 341 to 351105, yellow and brown 301
to 33/. Cod at 28/ lOs to 291. A good home and ex-
port demand has been experienced for Southern, and
prices are fully equal to this day week. At auction 100
tuns all found buyers at 30/ to 331 for middling
to fine. Sperm met with less attention, yet
holders insist upon 811 to 821 for fine quality.
At auction 10 tuns from Bremen were taken in at 784
and low at 70/ to 741 15s. Cocoa Nut is yet dull of
sale, and can be obtained at a further reduction.. At

fine at 34s 3d to 35s ; 26 casks Ceylon good
335, whilst 59 casks of Sydney were only in
part sold at 28s 9d to 31s for low to middling.
Linseed Oil still finds a free sale for home trade pur-
poses, and the shipping demand is good. Prices are
firm, and rule at 28s 6d to 28s 9d on the spot.
For delivery, contracts have been concluded at 28s
to 283 3d, and there is not a larger quantity on
offer, notwithstanding the increase of late in produc-
tion. For Rape Oil the market is firm, and supply
is not sufficient for dealers' wants. Sales of pale have
been made at 39s 6d to 40s ; and brown at. 385 6d to
395. Olive met with a good demand; Gallipoli at 431
to 441; other kinds at 41/ to 421 lOs ; there is also
no desire en the part of holders to press sales, and
deliveries are still extending. The value of Lucca per
jar is 5/17s 6d, to 61; Florence 1-chts 17s to 21s. Palm is
little wanted, and lower rates are likely to prevail; fine
sort is to be purchased at 30s to 303 Gd; at present there
is only a moderate supply. Lard and Ground Nut Oil
are unaltered in value.

[A rwERTisEm ENT.]—A certified Cure of Scrofula
by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.---The following certificate
from Mr- Alcorn, of Jerry's Plains, New South Wales, was
forwarded to Professor Holloway by Pinkey, chemist, of
the same place. " This is to certify that my daughter, aged
seven years, was afflicted with scrofula for three years, and that,
after she had teen attended by several respectable practitiosere,
without success, I was induced to try Holloway's OintnieLt
and Pills, which remedies in about three months completely
cured her, and she is now in the best of health. This can be
verified by various persons in this vicinity, where I have resided
for twenty-two years. (Signed) R. Alcorn. Jan. 1, 1849."
