MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Loodnn New Price Current of Feb. 23.)
SUGAR.—To• day the market again exhibited a firm
aspect for all sorts of free and slave labour Sugar. West
India Muscovado was, in fair request for home trade
purposes, and former rates are well kept up for all kinds.
The quantity sold amounts to 360, making 1,550 hhds,
&c. for the week. For next week the public sales of
Sugar are not expected to be large; a firm market is in
consequence anticipated.
REFINED.—To-day the home trade Refined market had
a quiet appearance, and prices are not so firm, brown
Lumps selling at 48s to 48s 6d, and Standard Lumps 49s
to 493 6d. Bonded Crushed is held with firmness at
29s 6d to 3ls per cwt, and is much wanted.
MAIMITIUS.—This afternoon the demand was acti
for Mauritius Sugar, and 5,075 bags at auction sold at
full rates, middling to good yellow went at 37s to 395,
ordinary 36s to 36s 6d, good and fine brown 35s to 365,
Washed and syrupy 32s 6d to 38s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon two parcels of Penang
Sugar were offered at public sale, amounting to 235
baskets and 2,336 bags, the whole sold at firm rates. fine
bright yellow soft went at 38s 6d to 395, good dark 35s
6d, middling 34s to 34s 6d, low 33s to 33s 6d, middling
to good brown 30s to 32s 6d.. Bengal is wanted, and
the public sales of 3,444 bags went upon full terms. Of
Manilla 3144 bags, in bond, went at stiff rates.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and privately several inquiries existed at former
rates, but at which there are very few sellers; the stock
is nearly all in second hands.
MOLASSES.—There is still much firmness in the
market for West India, at present, however;, few
buyers are to be met with ; prices rule at from 17s
to 20s per cwt for low to fine. Bengal Treacle at
15s 6d to 16. Of Madras, 10 hhds at auction sold at
15s per cwt. •
COFFEE.—This afternoon East India Coffee was in
excellent demand for shipping, and at public sale 2,387
bags sold at stiff rates, Batavia, good ordinary mixed
black went at 28s to 28s 6d, damaged 26s to 28s, Manilla,
good ordinary sound psle 32s 6d to 335, and damaged
30s to 30a 6d. The market for Ceylon is still quiet; 26
casks 378 bags were offered at auction, fine sold at 71s 6d
to 80s 6d, which areS tall rates, whilst other kinds went
off flatly at easier prides. 63 bags Costa Rica went at
34s to 35s 6d for good ordinary. The market is dull
for Native, -good ordinary 34s to 348 6d per cwt.
Cocos..—By private treaty a fair business has been
&included, and at stiffer rates—Trinidad red selling at
40s to 475, grey 39s to 435, and other sorts of West
India 38s to 42s per cwt. There is a more active sale
for Foreign, and only a small amount is on offer; prices
are on the advance, and rule from 27s to 28s per cwt.
'TEA.—There has been little disposition manifested to
operate in Blaci, still merchants for the most part dis-
played firmness, and refused, excepting in very few in-
stances to sell, but upon former terms. The consequence
was that nearly the whole has been taken in and with-
drawn. For Green the biddings have been ladguid, and a
willingness to sell, whilst the rates show a decline of
lid to 2d, indeed on good and fine Gunpowder the fall
was nearly 2d per lb. Twaukay, however, sustained
the former value. The Canton kinds of Green were well
got up, and excell those of last season. Fine Scented
Orange Pekoe attracted attention and realized a slight
advance; inferior kinds were held for the former value,
but met with little inquiry. Of the total amount offered,
only 6,900 pkgs were actually sold.
RieE.—The market was better supplied to-day with
East India. The public sales of Bengal contained 5,290
pockets, the chief part sold generally at steady rates, fine
white went at 1 s 6d to 12s, mid and good lOs to Ils,
broken 9s, and damaged 5s 6d to Ils 6d; of Madras
2,508 went rather cheaper ; 3,026 bags of
Penang also went upon rather lower terms.

to 2s 2d, and inferior 30 per cent at 2s. For inferior
sorts of Jamaica trade is more active, and prices
have ceased to give way ; superior kinds appear to be
much wanted for home use and exportation. quotations
are still rising owing to a small supply. The value of
plain and middling quality 28 to 33 per cent. over proof
is from 2s 8d to 3s, pod middling and good 34 to
46 over, 3s to 3s 7d, fine 3s 8d to 4s 3d, and supe-
