MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUG A 11.-The Sugar Market last week was apparently heavy,
but the business reported was considerable, amounting to 3,000
hlids. and trs. ; there was no alteration in the prices. The Market
to-day is heavy, the sales do not exceed 500 hhds. and trs., in-
cluding the Barbadoes public sale, and there is less disposition to
do business than we have experienced for a length of time. The
stock of West India Sugar is new 46,168 hhds. and trs., which is
4,816 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius 116,987 bags,
being 012,501 more than last year. The delivery of West India
