MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, June 29.)

Sucen.—To• day there was little desire evinced by
home dealers to make purchases in West Indian Sugar,
still merchants were firm, and obtained former rates.
The quantity sold was small, and amounted to only 151,
making for the week 986 hhds., tee. The Sugar market
closes with a quiet aspect.
REFINED.—TO-day there was only a limited business
concluded in Refined goods by home dealers, still prices
ruled 6rm; brown grocery Lumps at 51s 6d, and fair
ditto 52s 6d per cwt. For Bonded Crushed Sugar the
market is still quiet at former rates.
Matramus.— A large business has been concluded by
Private treaty, and an advance in ihe value of 6d per
cwt is apparent; the supply is also not upon an extended
scale. At auction 7.889 bags went readily, low to mid
yellow at 373 6d to 398. good to fine 393 6d to 418. good
and fine brown 353 to 37a, washed and syrupy 339 to
40s per cwt. Of low brown the supply /14. %mall, and
there are several buyers.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal sugar met with
little attention, and the public sales of 2,600 bags went
at rather lower rates, whilst a part only sold; Benares,
good to fine white, went at 41s 6d to 42s 6d, middling
40s to 41s, low dingy 39s to 39s 61, damp and washed
38s to 425. 200 bags Madras sold rather cheaper; low
soft yellow at 33s 6d to 34s 6d, and middling 36s per
cwt. This afternoon there was no public sale, and by
private treaty little business was concluded; former
rates are with difficulty supported.
Fonztow.—Tnis afternoon there was little passing in
Foreign Sugar by private treaty. Of Porto Rico 118
hhds 46 barrels at auction sold at rather lower rates;
fine yellow 42s to 435, middling to good 39s to 40s 6d.
800 bags Manilla were taken in at 39a for low yellow.
4,200 bags Pernambuco were nearly all bought in; good
yellow at 41e, middling- 39s to 40s, middling and fine
brown 37e 6d to 3sis 6d. By private treaty the sales
made in Foreign Sugar tor the week are not worth enu-
merating, with the exception of a cargo of brown Per-
slams at 193 3d for export.
MOLASSES —The market is firm for West India at
17s Gd to 22s for low to fine quality, but there are not
many buyers at present. Imports have been again small,
and deli%eTies are to a fair extent, but they are likely to
increase sbortly. In Bengal Treacle several sales have
teen matte at 16s 6d to 17s 63, and the market has a
firm a' pea'.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon Coffee met
with less attention; but at the public sales of 3,049 bags
former rates were supported, and the chief part sold;
good ord 35s to 35s 6d, real good ord 36s to 36s 6d, and
damaged 25s to 34s 6d. Ot Plantation 500 bags and
130 casks went off less freely, still lull rates were ob-
tained; low mid and mid went at 498 to 539, fine fine
ord 47s 6d to 483 6d, pea berry aid 6d to 59., and triage
31s to 345; 356 bags Bahia were teen in at 32a for good
ord, this is the full value. The Coffee market generally
has assumed a quiet spirit.
Cocoa.—There has been an increase for West India,
and higher rates are obtained without difficulty,
although there is a fair supply at market, with
a stock larger than in the former year. The inautity
