MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades has been general and
extensive; the purchases have been estimated to exceed 4,000
hhds and trs., at prices a shade higher than last Friday, making
the advance from the late lowest price Is. a lc. fid. ; the rise ap-
pears, however, to have an unfavourable effect on the demand;
the request is not so great as early in the week. The public sales
of St. Lucia Sugars to-day went off with spirit at rather higher
prices than the market currency, 445. a 495. Low goods are still
in extensive demand for export; the fine is less inquired after,
and the stocks are daily accumulating. This afternoon the low
and middling descriptions of Lumps continue in demand, and
very full prices have been obtained for them, the most ordinary
qualities being held firmly for f2s. ; the fine descriptions how.
ever, entitled to the same bounty as double refined, are still ne-
glected, and are offered freely at 335. crashed, but there appears
to be very few orders on band, and the transactions have conse-
quently been very limited; for the home trade the purchases of
the middling descriptions of lumps and loaves have been rather
more extensive. . _ _

FOREIGN SUGARS.—The white Havannah Sugars have
been neglected on account of the news from St. Petersburgh, the
cholera morbus having suspended business at that port; at the
public sale on Tuesday 1,299 boxes, chiefly white, all were
drawn,with-
the yellows sold (and since by private contract) are about
1,200 hests, 225. (3d. , a 255. the latter is rather higher; and some
white by private contract reported at 345. for good, and 295. a
325. for low to mid. white. The sales of Brazil Sugars are 430
Bahias, chiefly low to mid. white 20s. a 245. 6d., browns 15s. a
17s. ; low to good white Pernams, 225. a 26s , brown 15s. 6d. a
I7s. ; a small parcel of Porto Rico of the late public sale sold at
Is. advance on sale prices.

EAST INDIA gUGARS.—About 8,200 bags Mauritius have
been sold this week at the general advance of the Sugar market,
Is. per cwt , the quality has been rather interior; this day's sale
appeared to go off with great firmness, fully supporting the ad-
vance we have stated. In Bengal, Siam, and Manilla Sugars no
sales of any extent are reported.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—The prices are nominal, as all
the West India Molasses in the market are under seizure by the
Customs, for having in the casks an undue quantity of Sugar (as
reported).
COFFEE...-The prices of British Plantation of Coffee con-
tinue to rise daily; the advance since last Friday is 3s. a 4s. per
cwt. ' • Jamaica triage 51s. a 525. good ordinary, foxy 565. Foreign
and East India Coffees have not advanced in the same propor-
tion, the latter are 2s. higher than on Friday last. The sales of
Coffee this week, including to-day's, are 1,900 bags Brazil, nearly
8,000 bags East India, 700 bales Mocha, about 800 packs Ja-
maica, and 300 of the other de-criptions of British Plantation ;
the prices of Cheribon 41s. a 4.35.' Batavia 365. a 40s. 6d. Ceylon
405., Samarang 345. 6d. a 355. 6d., all about 2s. higher; the
Mocha 3s. a 4s. higher. The Foreign Coffee has not risen in
proportion, St. Domingo 425. The Brazil in this day's sale
1,100 bags, enumerated above, was mostly damaged • the sound,
about 100 bags good ordinary coloury, was taken at 435., and for
which 44-. 6d. was offered and refused; the first class, damaged,
all sold with much briskness 41s. a 41s. 6d. This day the Mocha
went off a shade lower.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The inquiries after
Rum have greatly increased, but the sales made arc at very low
prices, Leewards Is. sd. The purchases of fine Jamaica Rum for
home consumption have been considerable, and at very full
prices ; the ordinary descriptions are neglected. In Brandy or
Geneva there is no alteration.
HEMP, FLAX, A ND TA LLOW.—The Tallow market since
Friday last advanced 2s. a as. on account of the cholera morbus
having appeared at St. Petersburgh ; considerable sales were re-
ported 435. and 435. 5d., from that point a fall of about Is. took
place, but we have again accounts of disease having spread, and
having appeared at Odessa. Tallow to-day at 435. Hemp and
Flax are at nominal quotations. This evening the nearest quota.
tion for Tallow is still 435., both for parcels on the spot and for
arrivals. It is reported that only 97,000 casks Tallow, in place of
150,000, had arrived at St. Petersburgh, and that all boats would
be prohibited from coming down the rivers. It is also confidently
stated that the cholera morbus has appeared at Odessa. To-day
300 packs Odessa Tallow 425. a 425. 3d.
OILS.—The Oil market continues brisk; Linseed Oil is 1/.
higher, on account of the scarcity of seed. In common fish Oil
there is a considerablebusiness,domg. Sperm is heavy on account
of the arrivals.
COTTON.—There is no alteration in the Cotton market. The
sales this week consist of 120 Bengal, all in bond, good fair 41A d. ;
570 Surat, ordinary to fine 4!..40. a 51 d. - 100 Madras, fair to good
4%d. a 474 d. ; 110 Bowed, ordinary to good 5%d. a 5%d.
