MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 30.)
SUGAR.—To-day a further improvement was apparent
in proceedings in the market for Colonial Sugar; for
Foreign there is much inquiry; West India Muscovado
was in excellent demand both for grocery and refining
purposes; an advance in prices of 6d per cwt was also
obtained. At public sale 128 hhds, 1$ tierces, 4 brls,
and 12 cases Barbadoes went readily at a similar rise;
fine yellow fetched 41s 6d to 425, goad 40s to 41s, mid-
dling 38s to 39s 6d, low 37s 6d per owt.
REFINED.—To-day the home demand was active for
Refined Sugar, and stiffer rates are paid; good brown
Lumps realised 49s 6d, and Standard Lumps 50s to 50s
6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for 28s to
295. ; there is, however, not much demand.

MIURITIUS—This afternoon there ware four public
sales of Mauritius Sugar, consisting mostly of the better
sorts, and comprising 6,140 bsgs; they went di briskly.
and in some cases 6d per cwt above former rates.
EAST INDIA.—Thin afternoon at public sale 2,114
bags of Bengal Sugar were offered, and sold in some
cases 6d per cwt above former rates, good and fine
grainy yellow reali.ed 40s 6d to 43s 6d, middling 37s
to 38s 6d, low 35s 6d to 365. Of Java 174 baskets were
withdrawn.

FOREIGN.—There was no public sale to-day of Fo-
reign Sugar, but privately more desire was evinced to
operate, and it was difficult to purchase at former rates.
MOLASSEB.—West India continues to be wanted, and
former rates are well supported. The private operations
are 300 puns. Antigua 20s, Dominica and St. Vin-
cent's 18s, St. Lucia 17s, and Trinidad of low quality at
16. 6d. For Bengal Treacle the sale is more active at
165 to 16s 6d rer cwt, and a lass amount is on offer. An
advance in the value of Honey is apparent.
COT/FEB.—This afternoon only a limited demand
existed for Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and 1,1155 bags 14
casks at auction were only in part sold, at barely former
rates—good went at 60 to 665. mid 535 to 569, low mid
st)s to 525, fine fine ordinary 45. to 49s 6d, fine ordinary
40. to 43s 6d, good ordinary 34. 6d to 385, pea berry
53s 6d to 55s 6d, and damaged 21s to 40s 6d. Of My-
sore 29 bags were taken in at 505, and 17 barrels Ja-
maica were withdrawn. The market for Native Ceylon
is quiet at 34s to 34s 6d for good ordinary.
CoooA.—This afternoon at public sale 7 bags of
Caracca Cocoa were taken in at the high rate of 80s
per cwt.
Ricn.—Prices remain as previously quoted for cleaned;
there is a large business doing ; Patna at 13s to 16s,
fine 17s to 19s, and American 18s to 20s per cwt. Of
fine white Bengal there is still a scanty supply
and as the demand is good, former rates of 12a 6d
to 13s Sd are well supported. The purchases made in
all other kinds have been of little moment by exporters
or the home trade, and a fall in the value of 6d per cwt
is apparent.
TEL—To-day there was much inquiry after Congou,
and it is difficult to purchase ordinary sound clean Con-
gou under 84d per lb.
SPIRITEL—Brandy is wanted. Cognac best braids of
the vintage of 1847 realise 36 8d to 3s 10d, 1848 ditto
3s 4d to 3s 6d, and inferior 2s 4d to 3s 4d. Deliveries ex-
ceed those of last year, whilst the quantity here is smaller.
A fair sale exists for Geneva for exportation at is 10d
to 2s, whilst home trade kind fetch 28 6d to 3s. For
British made Spirit prices still rule at 9s 10d per gallon
cash. To-day much dulness existed in the market for
Rum, sellers were willing to accept is 4d to is 44d for
proof Leewards, and is 3d per gallon for East India.
SPlcEs.—To!day two parcels of Pimento were offered
at public sale, amounting to 611 bags, when the demand
was good, and the whole sold at full rates—ood
middling and good realised 34€1 to 31d, middling 3kd to
3jd, good ordinary 34d, one lot very low stalky 2d;
damaged fetched lid to 3kd. Of Jamaica Ginger
43 pkgs were sold at 95s to 1245 for good, and at 72. to
84s per cwt for middling.
COCHINEAL—To-day the demand was not more active
for Cochineal, and 70 bags at auction only in part sold
at about former rates; Honduras silvers, mid to good
went at 3s 9d to 4s 2d, whilst ord black was taken in at
46 6d to 4s 7d. _ _ . _ _

SALTPETRE—To-day Rough was only in limited de-
mand, and 700 bags at auction were taken in at 26s for
middling grey small chrystal 12i per cent refraction.
FRUIT.-0n the part of holders of Currants greater
firmness is visible; there is also an increased demand at
from 35s to 39s per cwt ; indeed some parties will not
sell at these rates. Raisins have secured a good sale—
prime Valencia realised 38s. Figs remain dull of sale at
our quotations.
INDlGO.—Several purckases hare been made in Madras
during the last few days, and at en advance on the last
quarterly sales of 2d to 34 per lb. Bengal is held with
firmness at a similar rise, and a fair amount of business
has been concluded to supply the home and export
orders.

TALLOW.—On the spot fine P. Y. Candle is offered at
39s 6d to 405. For delivery in the last three months of
the year little business has been concluded, and 40s is
the quotation. [forte molted at 40s to 40s 6d net ca'h.

THE CUUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, tin x. 30.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states that with
very small arrivals or all descriptions of groin during th.•
past week, this market has been exce.dirgly firm, and
in some instances a little over the current rites of last
Tuesday was obtainable, especially for the better run.
of red wheat and Saal barley. The feeling seems to gain
ground that the effect of the release of bonded stocks
on the Ist proximo has been more than anticipated, ant
that prices are not likely to recede, as was apprehended.
For this day's market our farmers brought a moderate
supply, and evinced no disposition to take alarm at the
release of bonded stocks; our millers were buyers at
about is per qr over last Tuesday's prices for best runs.
A good inquiry for foreign. and freely met at about is
more money. As we have had occasion to observe be-
fore, the stock of fine wheat is by no means large here;
indeed it forms only a small proportion of what is in
granary. Fine barley meets fair sale, but second descrip-
tions of malting are much neglected. Grinding is rather
dearer. More business doing in beans at the full cur-
rency of last week. In oats and peas we note no altera-
tion. Only a limited business passing in linseed, of which
arrivals are insignificant. Linseed cakes a good deal
neglected. Small stocks of rapeseed, and only a small
business at long prices A little more inquiry for rake
cakes. Nothing new in bones.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 30.—The duty on oats has advanced
to 4s per quarter, and on barley, rye and beans to 2s 6d
per quarter. The weather continues very stormy, and
although the winds have been favourable for arrivals,
we have to report very limited supplies of everything
but oats, Egyptian beans, Indian corn. and oatmeal sue,
this day week. The exports in the same thee amount
to 1,077 quarters wheat, 10,958 quarters Indian corn,
316 sacks and 1,415 barrels flour. As the Ist of Fe
bruary approaches more steadiness appears in the trade,
both in the agricultural and importing markets, which
may probably indicate that the immediate effects of free
trade have been fully anticipat, d. At the close of the
week an improved demand was experienced for free
wheat at an advance of 1d; and bonded was 2d per 701 b
higher. Oats and malting barley were less plentiful and
rather dearer; and oatmeal was not lower than on Tues-
day. For beans and peas there was very little inquiry.
Indian corn met a fair sale at the advanced prices of
Tuesday. Free flour was not in much request, but
prices were supported; and bonded advanced 6d per
barrel; 25s 9d being paid for Philadelphia, and 26s 6l
per barrel for Western Canal. The official account of
the stocks in bond on the 10th of January inst. has been
published, and shows less accumulation than was ex-
pected. Wheat, 498,834 quarters; barley, 63,856 quar-
ters; oats, 34,316 quarters; rye, 8,461 quarters; peas,
15,272 quarters; beans, 26,191 quarters; Indian corn,
3,239 quarters; flour, 284,580 barrels. At this day's
market there was a good attendance of dealers, and a
fair but not extensive demand for wheat, at a further
improvement of id to 2d per bushel on the prices of Fri.
day, being 2d to 3d per 701 b dearer than on this day
week. Oats were not in lively request, bat prices w ere
id per 451 b higher; there was, however, very little in-
quiry for oatmeal, and 23s per load was the top price of
best Irish. Barley, beans, and peas were without im-
provement in demand or value. Flour was in better re
quest, and prime Western Canal saleable at 27s 6d per
barrel, but Irish was slow of sale, and no dearer. There
was only a moderate demand for Indian corn, at the full
prices of this day week, which were rather better than
on Friday.
MANCHESTER.—The Indian market was yesterday as
brisk as during last week; the same rates, and in some
cases even higher, wore obtained. All goods for that
market are in brisk demand. The spirit of speculation
which has appeared in the cotton market has begun to
operate most injuriously. Prices for the raw material
are now so high that the manufacturer finds it impossible
to obtain a remunerative return. A considerable check
has been experienced duriog the last few days, and mer-
chants have held in their orders to such a degree that
very little business has been transacted. At the present
prices for cotton the manufacturer cannot produce except
at a loss. Yesterday but few samples were shown by
the producers, and some even roused to name say
prices. It is feared by some that should the cotton mar-
ket continue in its present unsatisfactory state, some
mills amongst the spinners will have to resort to short-
time operations. The continental houses generally are
doing but little during the present week.
LEEDS, JAN. 30.—We have a small show of grain
here to-day. Wheat and barley have met an improved
demand, at fully is per quarter advance. Oats and
beaus are also each rather dearer. There was a good
attendance of merehants in the cloth halls, but not so
much business done at this day's market as was tra, s-
acted on. Saturday. The goods which changed owners
were principally for shipping, comprising wool-dyed
blacks, blues, &c. Prices c nitinue much the same as
they have ruled during the month.
tlEczsioNDwißE, JAN. 29.—The attendance of mer-
chants to day was very small, and little business was
transacted in blankets, but a low orders were put out ior
shipping.
DALKEITH MEAL MARKET, JAN. 29.—There were
127 bags of oatmeal, 33 of barley meal, and 1 of pot
barley at this day's mar ket; sales ready ; oatmeal same
as last week; barleymeal is per bag down; the pot- barley
was riot sold.
