MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, May 1.)
Sucen.—To-day there was not much desire evinced
to operate in West India Sugar, and the purchases con-
.

eluded by private treaty amounted to only 250 hhds,
&c.; still merchants are firm, and obtained full rates for
both grocery and refining sorts. A public sale of 151
hhds 6 trcs Barbadoes, however, went off briskly at firm
rates; fine yellow fetched 41s to 425, good 40s to 40a 6d,
low to mid 388 to 393 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day there was little disposition evinced
by home dealers to make purchases in refined goods, but
in the value there is no change. For Bonded Crushed
Sugar the market has a quiet aspect, and 29s 6d to
30s. 6d per owt are the rates accepted.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there were four public
sales of Mauritius Sugar, consisting of 351 casks 6,101
bags. Prices ruled for low to middling yellow at from
36s 6d to 38s, good to fine 38s 6d to 418, ordinary to tine
grey 36s to 395; brown, ordinary to middling 338 Gd to
343 6d, and good to fine 35s to 36s Gd per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was not much de-
sire evinced to do business in Bengal Sugar: at public
sale 2,979 bags were only in part sold at rather lower
rates: Benares, ordinary white went at 39s to 39s 6d,
middling 40s to 40s 6d, good to fine 41s to 42a, and
yellow Mauritius sort 40s to 41s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—On the part of merchants a desire is
shown to sell, and a decline in the value of 6d per cwt
has taken place, making the fall from the highest point
Is id to 2s per cwt. The demand for refining under bond
has not materially improved.
MOLICSES.—The lowest price for West India is 17s.
For East India treacle the demand is getting larger,
whilst the rates obtained are from 15s 6d to 16s per
owt. For honey prices are still on the advance.
