MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the tmerlon New Price Current, Dec. 7.)

SUGAR.—To day there was a further decrease in the
quantity of all kinds of Sugar offared for sale, whilst
home dealers came forward 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 Wilds and trcs. 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 East India were submitted to public sale to-day.
REFINED.—To day Refined Sugar sold freely for
home trade purposes, and former rates are well sup-
ported: there is a tendency to advance. Iu the value of
Bonded Crushed there is no variation.
Matiarritis.—The supply is more plentiful, esp(cially
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, the chief part of which consisted of the
new crop, and went as follows:—fine and superior
yellow 39s 64 to 41s 6d, middling to good 37s to 39.,
low 36s to 36s 64, good and fine brown 34s to 35s 6d,
inferior 32s to 33s 6d, low 29s to 31s, and ordinary to
fine grey 34s to 39s per cwt. By private treaty a fair
quantity of auger has been sold. There are further ar-
rivals of the new crop, still the stock is much less than
at this time last year.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 303 bags
Bengal Sugar were sold at full rates; fine yellow, like
Mauritius, realised 38s to 38s 6d. middling and good
36s 64 to 37s 6d, damp and w.,shed 36s 6.1 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 64 per cwt.
FOREIGN.--Today there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and by private treaty only small purchases were
made, but hollers refused to submit to any further de-
cline.

MOL 1/NEB.—Prices have not improved for West India,
still all sorts are in much better demand, and the pur-
chases for the week are 400 puns at from 14s 6d to 17s
5J for low to lice ; there is also less desire on the part
of holders to realise. There has been a steady sale fur
East India at 14s to 14s 6d.

Coco.►.—Foreign is held with firmness, 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 d...
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 w.,re sold at 403 to 463
for red, and at 39s to 42s for low to fine grey.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there were ready buyers of
Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and former rates are well
supported, whilst there is a decream of supply. At
public sale 89 casks 540 bags were all sold; good fetched
68s, middling 62s to 653, low middling 58; to 59;. fine
to fine fine ordinary 553 6d to 57a 6 1, and triage 47s to
51s. Only small purchases were made in Native by
private treaty, good ordinary at 50; 6d to 513. •

the parcels sold at from Is 6.1 to Is 91 pr lb ; the ope-
rations in other sorts have been limited at 91 to is 51,
and low to mid ord at 81 to 8;1; the tendency co 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 aro acceded to, but
full rate; are insisted upon for the lower sorts. The
value of 14500 is is to Is 3d fur low and goo 1 ord, and
