MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of last Evening.)
SUGAR.—The demand for West India Muscovadoes on
Wednesday and Thursday last was extremely limited, but on
Friday there was more life in the market ; the stocks in second
hands getting low, particularly those held by the refiners,
caused buyers to come forward and purchase freely, and the de-
pression which occurred in prices on Tuesday last was reco-
vered: the quantity sold on that day amounted to 1,200 hhds
and trs, making the purchases since our last 1,800 hhds and
trs, including a public sale of 116 hhds Barbadoes. which sold
at 58s to 63s for mid to good quality, being previous rates ;
sales of Grenada and Tobago of low yellow quality have been
made at 525, better Jamaica 53s 6d, good mid 57s 6d, An_
tigua mid 55s to 565, fine sorts above 60s are scarce. The
surplus in the stock continues to increase, and the delivery
last week was small. Prices are nearly 4s lower than at this
period last year, and when compared with those of 1836 they
exhibit a depression of nearly 12s per cwt. Up to the present
time 16.000 hhds more have been received than in 1837.
This afternoon there was a good business doing, both for the
scale and pan ; the private purchases amount to 900 hhds and
trs at Friday's prices, besides which 125 hhds 6 barrels Bar-
badoes at auction brought former rates, and went at 58, to 655,
according to quality.
The stock of West India Sugar is now 42,373 hhds and
trs, being 12,051 more than last year. Tire stock of Mauri.
tius is now 64 859, bags, which is 6,689 more than last year.
The delivery of West India last week was 2.526 hhds sad
trs, which is 270 less than last year. The delivery of Mauri-
tius was 3,065 bags, being 3,760 less than the corresponding
week of last y ear.
The Gazette Average Price is now 31s 10. id, against 35s
8d in 1837, and 43s B,cd in 1836.
REFINED.—The grocers have come forward more freely,
and a fair demand has been experienced at previous rates ;
sales of fair and good strong Lumps made at 70s to 735,
common 68s to 695, and 141 b Hamburg Loaves 755. For
shipping there is at present scarcely any demand, 34s 6d is
required for double Crushed under the Queen's lock, at
which one or two small parcels have been sold, and which are
still the only goods now to be met with suitable for that pur-
pose, the few houses at work are only making to supply the
wants of the home trade. Treacle, although not so brisk as it
was, has met with a steady demand, and maintained the ad-
vanced rates of this day week. Pieces have sold steadily at
former prices. In Bastards there has been scarcely anything
doing, but they are not offered on former terms. For Dutch
Crushed Sugar there is no demand at present.
This afternoon the price of double Crushed in the Docks is
still 34s 6d; in the market no price has yet been fixed. Gro-
cery goods in steady request.

our last, but the purchases privately have been but to a limited

61s for mid to fine yellow.

plied the market sparingly, -late rates have been maintained,
but the Grocers have purchased cautiously, and the operations
have been Frincipally confined to a public sale of 240 bags
which went at 61s 6d to 62s 6d for low mid white, and 59s
to 62s for damps. For export descriptions the demand has
abated ; and in the absence of public sales the purchases pri-
vately in Manilla and Siam have been limited, and confined to
1,500 bags of the former at 21s 6d for low brown soft quality,
including some damps and washed, but at present lower
prices have not been accepted. This afternoon 3,256
bags Manilla at public sale brought full prices, mid brown to
good greyish yellow, 21s 6d to 235; damps and washed, 20s
to 22s 6d per cwt.
