MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 16.)
SUGAR.—To-day the proceedings in the Raw Sugar
market were of a satisfactory nature, and it is quite
evident that prices have not yet arrived at their highest
point, as the demand for all purposes continues to get
greater. West India was in excellent request for
home trade purposes, and in some cases the rates ob-
tained are rather above those of Friday. At public
sale 143 hhds 7 trcs Barbadoes went readily at firm,
and in some instances at better rates; fine yellow re-
alised 41s to 41s 6d, good 39s to 40s 6d, low and mid-
dling 36s 6d to 38s 6d. 150 hhds 7 trcs 73 brls Trinidad,
low 'yellow 36s 6d to 375, middling 38s, fine and good
brown 35s 6d to 365, middling 355, low 34s 6d. 46 hhds
St. Lucia, low yellow 365, good brown 35s to 35s 6d,
and very low dark 335. The total quantity of Sugar sold
to-day amounted to 940 hhds and trcs. Some holders
will not sell at present rates.
REFINED.—To-day former rates were well supported
for Refined goods, and the home trade were desirous to
make purchases. It is difficult to buy Standard Lumps
under 50s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is selling at
28s 6d to 295, and in some cases fine is held for 30s.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there were eight public
sales of Bengal Sugar. consisting of 10,494 bags, when
a good demand was experienced, and the chief portion
sold upon full terms. Of Madras 3,559 bags were sold;
good soft yellow 345, middling and low 31s to 335, ordi-
nary to good brown 28s 6d to 29s 6d, and fine 30s 6d to
3ls per cwt. _ _ _

MIITILITIUS to-day was in excellent demand, and the
public sales of 6,935 bags went off with spirit at fully
former terms; indeed mid yellow and strong grey realised
6d per cwt advance.
FOREIGN.—To-day several inquiries existed for Fo-
reign Sugar, but there are still few sellers. By private
treaty 200 tons low brown Manilla, in bond, at 14s 3d
to 14s 9d. Small parcels of Havannah at 40s 6d for mid
yellow, and at 38s 6d fur brown. There was no public
sale to-day.
MOLASSES.—There are many buyers of West India,
but holders asking much higher rates, operated mate-
rially against business. The value of low to fine quality
is from 16s to 19s per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was less disposition
manifested to do business in Native Col bon, still lower
rates were not acceded to. Of 1,650 bags offered at
public sale, a small part only sold upon former terms;
real good ordinary went at 355, good ordinary 34s to
34a 6d, damaged 30s to 33s 6d, and fourth class in bad
condition 24s 6d. For Plantation the demand fell off,
and of 1,965 bags 180 casks put up to the hammer, a
small part only sold at rather lower rates.
Cocoe,—West India is more in favour for home con-
sumption, and stiffer rates are obtained. At auction
400 pkgs Trinidad were sold; low to fine grey at 39s to
42s 6d, and red 39s 6d to 45s 6d. With superior red the
market is yet moderately supplied. Foreign is not offered
at any further decline, but the demand does not get bet-
ter, and 26s 6d to 28s 6d is the value.

TEA.—Black realised fully former terms, and dealers
were disposed to further increase their stocks, holders
also evince firmness. Congou of sound common clean
quality realises 8d to 814, good ord 91 to 9isi, but mid to
mid lOd to 11d, good mid and good is to is 2d, fine is 3d
to Is 6d, Pekoe flavour is 6d to is 9d, Souchong common
6d to I Id, mid Is to Is 2d, good Is 3d to 1 s Bd, and fine
Is 93 to 2s 4d. For Green previous quotations are in-
sisted upon, and a steady business has been concluded.
SPIRITS.—For Brandy the market is in a firm posi-
tion, there is a good demand, and former rates are well
supported. Deliveries are large, and stock moderate.
Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1847 has been selling.
at 3s 8d to 3s 10d; 1848 ditto at 3s 4d to 3s 6d, and in-
ferior sorts at from 2s 4d to 3s 4d per gallon. Geneva
is not much wanted, and the rates accepted are 10 10d
to is lld for ord, and 2s 6d to 3s for fine home trade
kind. There is a quiet market for British made Spirit
at 9s 10d nett cash, and 9s 9d for Scotch and Irish. The
moderate rates are, however, expected to cause a brisker
demand shortly. To-day several parcels of Rum were
sold at fully former terms, indeed some parties will not
sell thereat. and the market has a firm aspect.
RICE.—To-day there was no public sale of East India
Rice, and privately little business was done.
SAGO FLOUR.—This afternoon at public sale 141 bags
of damaged went at lOs 6d to 14s 6d per cwt.
SPICES —To-day black Pepper was dealt in with more
readiness, at id advance, and 386 bags Sumatra at public
sale sold. Of African Pod, 12 bags sold at 42s for
ordinary. Ginger, only a part of 323 bags of Malabar
sold at 24s for good export sort.
COCHINEAL—The market has again been well sup-
plied, and prices have suffered a depression of id per lb,
although a good demand has been experienced. The
parcels submitted to public sale amounting to 175 bags,
were for the most part disposed of.
browse—Although the quantity of the E. I. declared
for public sale is large, amounting to upwards of 10,600
chests, the market has a firm aspect, and holders appear
sanguine in their expectations as to future operations.
Spanish met with rather more attention, and cannot be
obtained upon former terms.
FRUIT.—A much better demand has been experienced
for Currants, and prices have assumed an upward ten-
dency. Raisins are dealt in with greater freedom, and
holders evince more firmness; Valencia realise from 36s
to 375. For other sorts of Fruit there is generally a
better demand.
SALTPETRE.—To-day the parcels of Saltpetre sold
privately were upon stiffer terms, and 172 bags of Cal-
cutta at auction fetched 27s to 27s 6d for good strong
grey 41 per cent refraction, and not refracted 25s 6d
per cwt.
TALLovr.—Russian on the spot is offered at further
reduced rates, still Soap makers and Chandlers operate
with caution, and 41s to 41s 6d per cwt is the
value of fine P. Y. Candle. For forward deli-
very scarcely any demand exists. Home melted
is dull of sale at 418 6d to 42s nett cash, and at which
a desire is evinced to sell on account of large supplies.
Other sorts of Tallow have fallen in value, whilst a
greater quantity has been brought forward. At auction
782 pkgs of South American were nearly all sold ; 375
cks of stranded P. Y. C., first sort 38s 6d to 39s 6d ;
120 clts of Odessa 40s to 40s ed ; 8 cks East India
41s 3d to 43s 9d, and 9 casks of Italian 42s per cwt.
Rough Fat is dull of sale at 2s 5d per stone, and is in
plentiful supply.
OILS.—A greater disposition has been manifested to
operate iu Southern Oil, and the parcels sold privately
were at firm rates. Seal is held with firmness, but at pre-
sent there are few buyers, and of 105 tuns at pubiic sale a
part only sold. For Cod there is a good demand at 231105,
and supply is moderate. Of North West Whale 30 tuns at
auction realised '271 to 28/ 5s for good and fine. For
Sperm the market is brisker, and at former rates a
fair business has been concluded privately. At auction
12 Ituns of Colonial went I at 801 to 801 10s, and at
81/ 15s for Headmatter. The value of fine Oil is 81l per
tun. Of all sorts arrivals have been small since
this day week. For Linseed Oil the home de-
mand is not so active, and there are few export
orders in the market, whilst prices are not so
firm, and rule at 22s 6d to 22s 9d on the spot.
Rape Oil finds a ready sale. Of Cocoa Nut there are
further arrivals, and the market has a dull aspect. Palm
is little wanted. At auction 60 cks were withdrawn.
Olive met with a ready sale and at better prices. Lard
Oil is drill of ale.

THE COUNTRY' MARKETS.
HULL, JA N. 16.
Messrs. Taylor, and Bright's circular states—" We
have at length a comparative cessation of imports, and
under i a influence the tone of value for all articles of
the trade improves. There is more desire on the part
of inland fectors and millers, as well as to some extent
of speculatms, to get into stock than we find manifested
oy holders to realise their importations. The character
of the market generally is towards firmness. This may
not unlikely grow into some improvement in price, since
it is well known that a great number of millers and
dealers are holding back under a very mistaken idea, that
with the Ist of February we are to have an inundation
of samph s, and much pressure. We have no doubt of
quite the reverse being the case; in fact, as regards this
market there is no quantity of really good wheat with
which to depress the market. A good many sales of
wheat under lock have been made at about 42s per qr.
fair runs of r,,cl weighing 601 b per bushel. The weather
during the week has been variable and unseasonable; a
'(rood deal of rain has fallen, and on Sunday we had
thunder and hail; to-day is fine and dry. There was
more firm! eai manifested by both farmers and factors at
this day's market, with a general impression that the
trade has seen its worst. Farmers are not generally
sellers at last week's rates for best wheatS, and its some
instances the turn more money was obtained, with a less
supply than of late. Very little good foreign wheat on
offr, the bulk of what remains on shipboard being either
destined for the warehouse, or sold for liberation on the
Ist po oxitno. More inquiry for barley of all kinds. The
finer qualities are held ab are tne prices of maltsters;
and none being at present afloat, holders are stiff in their
demands; grinding is more plentiful, but is hardly pro-
curable on the low rates lately taken, which were ex-
tremely tempting to the speculator. New beans have
quite recovered their late depression, and are no longer
procurable at previous low rates. Egyptians of
good quality may be purchased on favourable terms.
The market is almost cleared of the inferior qualities of
peas, and the finer descriptions were never so depressed.
'Mere are some choice boilers in warehouse jest now.
We are without stocks in the granaries of oats, but the
demand is quite insignificant. The arrivals of linseed
cease, and the market stiffens; full prices are obtainable
for ail descriptions; cakes are not pressing for sale, but
may certainly be bought on easy terms. Foreign have
attracted more attention during the week. We hear of
no transactions in either rapeseed or rape cakes. Bones
of all descriptions are fully as dear."

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 16.—This day's market was well
attended by millers and dealers, but the transactions were
on the most limited and restricted scale, and generalli,
at a small further decline in prices. Free wheat was la
to 2d per 70 b lower; and bonded met only a slow in'
quiry, and was rather cheaper. There was a very MO
sale for oats and oatmeal, and prices were again rather
lower, 2s 6id per 451 b being the top price of good meal'
ing, and 23s 6d the price of best Irish. Barley, for
malting, was Is per quarter; and beans and peas 2s Ref
gusr er lower. In free flour there was no material
change, but in the few sales made buyers had a slight
advantage. Bonded was inquired for, and held firmly
at 25s for Baltimore, and 25s 6d for Western Canal;
Indian corn gave way 2s per quarter, and corn meal 6o
per barrel, at which a few sales were made.
LEEDS, JAN. 16.—We continue moderately supplied
with grain, but fully equal to the demand.' ,Sales ,
wheat cannot be effected, unless at a decline of Is per
quarter, exeapt for the very finest qualities. Bari/
meets a bettor demand at Is per quarter under late rates.
Oats and beans are the turn in favour of the buyer.
