MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, July 31.)

EX:SAIL—To-day there was only a limited business
concluded in the West India Sugar market, although
the rates accepted were rather under those of Friday.
The better sorts are now the least in request. A public
sale of 160 hhds 13 trcs Barbadoes went at a reduction
on former rates of 6d to is per cwt for the best sorts,
and. other kinds at about the former value; fine yellow
sold at 40s to 40s 6d, middling to good 37s 6d to 391 6d
per cwt. The total purchases are 490 hhds, &c.
REFINED.—To-day prices further declined for re-
fined goods, brown lumps selling at 48s 6d to 495, and
fair grocery at 503 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar
met with an active demand at 29s 6d to 30s 6d per cwt.
MAURITIn9.—This afternoon there was not more de-
mand for Mauritius Sugar by private treaty, and at
auction 60 bags went at 35s to 36s 6d for low yellow
washed and syrupy, which are rather lower rates.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal
Sugar were offered at public sale, amounting to 3,414
bags; a part only sold at rather lower rates; low to good
soft yellow went at 34s 6d to 375, strong white, good and
fine 45s to 47s 6d; middling to fine white Benares 39s to
424, low dingy 38s 6d, damp 38s to 41s. Of Madras
5,300 bags were in part disposed of; soft brown at from
31s 6d to 33s 6d, and yellow at 34s to 355, which are
easier rates.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was not much inquiry for
Foreign Sugar by private treaty. At auction 3,200 bags
Manilla, in bond, sold at 163 61 to 183 6d for low to
fine brown. The tendency of prices is to recede for
Foreign Sugar generally. The exports of Sugar from
Havannah and Matanzas to the 30th June have been
591,000 boxes, and last year 607,000 boxes to the same
period. The stock is 120,000 boxes, and the weather is
very favourable for the growing crops.
MoLsossEs.—Only small purchases have been made in
West India, and prices are on the decline, ruling from
173 to 20s for low to fine quality. There is not much
difference in stock, as compared with the past year, but
deliveries ars upon a greater scale. East India is cheaper,
and only small sales have been made at 15s 6d to 16s.
CocoA.—There are sellers of West India rather under
former rates, and the market is well supplied ; dealers
also continue to operate with caution. At public sale a
part only of 500 packages found buyers—Trinidad red
at from 42s to 493 6d, St Lucia 36s to 48s, Grenada 37s
to 37s 6d, and Dominica 37s per cwt. For Foreign the
market is still dull ; and at auction 1,470 bags Guaya-
quil were taken in at 27s for sound.
COFFEE.—The public sales of Coffee declared for this
week are small of both shipping and home-trade de-
scriptions. To-day Native Ceylon met with little atten-
tion by private treaty; still good ordinary cannot by
purchased under 355. Of Plantation 65 casks 224 bags
at auction were taken in above the value; good mid-
dling at 60s to 625, and middling at 58s per cwt.
TEA.—Holders remain firm, and none has again been
submitted to
large scale during although imports were upon a
packages, still the stock epkit week, amounting to 50,000
not equal to this time last
year. Former rates are paid for Congou, and a good trade
has been concluded, whilst Use sorts from 8d to 10d per
lb have been the most in demand. There is no varia-
tion to record in the value of Green,
terms a fair quantity has been disposed f r
The at
general
impression is that the demand for Tea will continue formert
t,et larger.
si Bloc —To-day the quantity of Bengal rice submitted
to auction was large amounting to 9,887 bags, and 4,933
pkts. There was less demand, and about one-half sold;
f Jae realized full rates, but other sorts went rather
cheaper; fine white fetched 103 6d to 11s 6d, good mid
aid good 9s 6d to 103, ord and mid 8s 6d to 9s, and
damaged 5s 6d to 103 6d; 1,381 bags Arracan sold at
73 6d to 8s for rani barley, and at 5a to 7s for damaged.
SPICES.—For Jamaica Ginger, former rates are paid,
and at auction 196 pkgs were all sold at from 41 to
6/ 103 for ord and mid, and at 61 to 101 3s for good to
fine. Shipping kinds of East India are more in de-
mand at 23s to 265. Pimento continues to be much
wanted, and former advanced rates are well kept
up. At auction thirty-one 'bags sold at 4d to 4id
fur low middling and middling. There is firmness
on the part of holders of black Pepper, and pur-
chases to a fair extent have bee made by private treaty;

Malabar shot at 3*d to 31d, heavy 3d to aid, inferior
2d to 2id; Sumatra, clean, 2id to sid, and inferior
2 dto 2id. White is still in scanty, supply, and the
rates paid are from 5d to 9d. The value of Cassia Ligner
is from 94s to 100 s, and few parcels are to be obtained.
For cloves the market is still firm; Bourbon and Zanzi-
7id to Bid, Bencolen is 4d to 2s, and Amboyna is to
Is 3d. There are several purchasers of Mace at 2s 3d
to 2s Bd, and inferior at 2s to 2s 2d. Nutmegs are
wanted; brown from 2s 6d to 3s 10d, and limed 2s to
2s 10d per lb.
SPIRITS.—Former rates are freely paid for Jamaica
Rum, and purchases to a fair extent have been made by
exporters and home dealers. The sales amount to 200
puns at from 2s 6d to 2s 10d for 33s to 36s per cwt over
proof, and small parcels of better sort at 3s to 4s per
gallon. Of East India some parcels have been
sold at is 3d to is 4d, but there are not generally
sellers under the latter rate. Leeward Island is
held with firmness at is 5d to is 6d proof, and orders
continue to get larger. Of Demerara some parcels
have been disposed of at 2s to 2s 4d for 28 to 40 per
cent over proof, and there are not free sellers. Home
and export deliveries are still getting larger, but several
parcels have been imported since this day week. In
Brandy a large amount of business has been concluded,
and prices are oa the advance, the new sorts
have been most in demand. We quote Cognac best
brands of the vintage of 1848 at 3s 7d to 3s 9d, 1847
ditto 4s 4d to 4s 6d, 1846 ditto 5s 4d to 5s 6d, 1845 ditto
5s 8d to 5s 10d, inferior sorts 2s 3d to 3s 6d, and Bor-
deaux at 2s per gallon. Geneva is only in limited de-
mand; ord at is 9d to is 10d and fine for home use 2s 3d
to 3s 3d per gallon. The market for British made Spirit
is firm at 9s Bd, and Gin at 8s to 8s 6d for 17 and 22 per
cent under proof.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon the ;public sale of 200
bags Cochineal went off flatly at barely former rates,
and a part only sold. Honduras black low to fine at
3s 8d to 5s ld, silvers 3s 7d to 4s 3d. Mexican 3s 6d to

3s 7d, and black at 3s 6d to 4s per lb.
SALTPETRE.—To-day there was an active demand,
and four parcels at auction amounting to 2,944 bgs all
sold at firm rates; Calcutta 5 to 3 per cent. refraction
went at 27s to 28s; 10 to 8 ditto 26s to 26s 6d, and Ma-
dras 12 ditto 26s to 26s 6d per cwt.
INV:W.—To-day operations in East India Indigo were
upon a more extended scale, and the rates obtained are
equal to the last quarterly sales. The market has a
firm aspect. At auction 12 serons Guatamella went
from 3s to 3s 7d, and inferior 2a 4d to 2s Ild per lb.
TALLOW.—There has been a good business concluded
in Russian on the spot, but on the part of merchantste
more desire is evinced to sell, and4.l2zarnatdelse.amiviceds

current for home melted occasions a good de-
ass touch. Ofex New South Wales 350 casks were dis-
posed of at auction at 345 9d to 38s for low to fine;
1,280 pkgs South American mostly found buyers at 34s
ad to 38s 9d. For auction 1,600 pkgs of Tallow are
declared. There is still a much larger stock than last
year, but prices rule under that time. Imports are likely
to be heavy this season. For rough Fat the value is 2s

Id per stone.
Oms.—On the part of holders of Seal Oil there is
firmness, and a good demand exists; pale at 32/10s to
331, straw and tinged 30/ to 321, yellow and brown 271
to 291 per tun. For Cod the market the market has
become quiet, and prices are not so firm; there aro
sellers at 271 10s. Southern is wanted, and the par-
cels disposed of by private treaty were at from
28/ to 321 for low to fine; the supply is also small. A
good business has been concluded in Sperm, and holders
continue to display firmness; for fine Colonial the
rates paid are 791 to 801, and for kleadmatter 801 to
81/ per tun; there is also not a larger supply
at market. For Linseed Oil lower rates are not

acceded to; the home and export demand has become
limited, and sellers are willing to accept 25s 9d to 26s
per cwt on the spot. Thero is a more plentiful supply,
but no falling off in consumption is visible. Fur delivery
few buyers are to be met with, although sales can
be made at 25s to 25s 3d. The tendency of prices
is evidently downwards for Linseed Oil. Rape-
seed has been dealt in with caution sellers are
also ready to accept 373 for refined. Sales to a fair
extent have been made in Palm, and the rates paid for
fine are 30s to 30s 3d; the supply is not upon a larger
scale.
