MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of Friday.)
SUG A R.—The importers of Sugar being determined to force
sales, there has been an increase of business this week; the esti-
mated purchases are 3,500 hogsheads and tierces, the prices ac-
cepted are again at a reduction of lid. a is. per cwt. Yesterday
and this forenoon there appeared to be more demand for low
goods for packing, and some considerable businw.s was done in
large and small Lumps from 61s. 6d. to 645., and a small advance
has in some instances been obtained ; the good and fine descrip-
tions, however, continue neglected, and the latter sorts, enti-
tled to the same bounty as double-refined, have been sold upon
lower terms, there beings plentiful supply on hand; for Crashed
the demand also continues limited, and only small parcels are
taken ofl:

FOREIGN SUGARS. The great reduction which has lately
taken place in the prices of Foreign Sugar has attracted the at-
tention of the buyers, who have been offering freely for parcels
at public sale prices, but the holders have generally rejected the
offers; the purchases by private contract are too inconsiderable
for enumeration. This day at public sale 1,800 chests Havannahi
Sugar, 80 chests Pernams, the good to line white Havannah
at 325. lid, a :lbs., yellow IN. fid. a 24s.,"about one-half of each,
and nearly all sold; Pernams at 21s. 6d. a 245. lid., middling and
good white.

this week at a further reduction of Is. per cwt., fair quality
brown 425. In Bengal, Manilla, and other East India Sugars,
no transactions of any extent are reported.
MO LASSES.-Last night Mr. P. Thompson movedfor a Com-
mittee to investigate as to the expediency of using Molasses in
the distilleries and breweries of the United Kingdom, the an-
nouncement has no effect on !fie demand and prices. English
and West India Molasses are both heavy, 225. lid. a 235.
COFFEE.-The Coffee Market continues firm, and the prices
rather on the advance, particularly the Jamaica descriptions
suitable for the home trade. Parcels of Dominica have also sold
at a considerable improvement since the last public sale. By
private contract, some parcels of St. Domingo at 40s. a 425. ; the
ord. descriptions of East India are also much inquired after. By
public sale this day 431 bales of Mocha, 213 casks, 41 brls. 234
bags British Plantation, and 321 bags Havannah ; the latter fine
ord. coloury sold 455. a 465. ; the Mocha was withdrawn. The
British Plantation, Jamaica, and Dominica sold at a further
advance of 25., making a rise in these descriptions, during the
week, of 3s. a 4s. per cwt. The Havannah to.day sold 2s. higher.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.-The inquiries after
Rum have much increased, particularly for Leewards ; there are
sales of proofs at Is. lid, in hhcls., which is rather higher; iu
Jamaica no further purchases arc reported. In Brandy or Genera
there is little alteration. There are further purchases of Rum re- I
ported ; a parcel of Leewards proofs and nutter, Is. stl. ; and
some fine Jamaica, 3s. 4d.

doing in Beef or Pork.
WOOL.-The two public sales of New South Wales and Van
Diemen's Land Wool last week went off at very good prices, say
from 10d. a 2s. 3d. per lb. The German was for the most part
bought in ; the market by private contract is very dull, although
there is no question that the strict quarantine regulations will
lessen the supplies very materially.
