MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of Oct. 98.)
Suoan.—The inactive state of the Refined trade, the con-
tinued dulness of the East India and iForeign Sugar trade,
and the late considerable decline which has taken place in
prices, have been much felt in the Market fur West India raw
Sugar this week, for more than usual dulness has prevailed,
there still being no demand from the Refiners, and although
the importers have submitted to a further reduction of Is.,
making the decline ss. from the highest point, still the grocers
have purchased with extreme caution, barely enough to supply
their immediate necessities, and the quantity which has changed
hands daily has not amounted on an average to 300 Was. and
trs. Jamaica of good grey quality has been sold at Gls. 6d.,
mid, at 655., and fine brown 645. ; Demerara, good brown
635. Gd., mid. yellow 645. 6d. a 655., good 675. a 675. 6d„
fine 68s. a 695. ; the deliveries are still very deficient when
compared with those of last season, and up to the present time
are nearly 21,000 hhds. and trs. ; the last returns show the
stock to be nearly equal to that of 1835. The arrivals have
been only 893 hhds. and trs. this week, which is a much less
quantity than was imported during the same period last year.
This afternoon the importers having submitted to a further
decline of 6d. for British Plantation Sugar, making the reduo-
tion for the week Is 6d., occasioned a very brisk demand
from the grocers, and the purchases to-day amounted to 900
hhds. and trs., making 1,800 hhds. and trs. disposed of during
the week.

Although the Sugar houses have generally ceased worilng,
and the quantity of Refined goods offering for sale is extremely
small, yet such is the continued dull state & the Market, the
request from the shippers as well as the grocers being of the
most limited kind, has caused the refiners to submit to are.
duction of tid., and they accepted 445. for double Crushed, and
85s. for Lumps entitled to the double bounty; Treacle is still
in request, but Bastards aro neglected. Dutch Crushed sup-
port late rates, 42a, paid fur 160 hhds.
This afternoon Refined goods were still neglected, but
Lumps to pass the standard are not to be purchased for the
present under 855., and 445. for double Crushed ; few goods
are ready for delivery,
M4calTics,—This article has participated in the dulnesb
which has prevailed in all other descriptions of Sugar, there
having been no,demand by private contract, 4nil /5410 bags at
auction sold heavily, and only a portion found buyers at a •,,',e„
cline of ls. 6d. a 2s. on the ord. soft and brown descriptions,
and 6d. redttetion on the yellow qualities, very low soft brown

MOLASSES.-The transactions in' the Market for West
India
'Molasses have been extremely trifling, but reduced prices have
not been accepted.
this
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The late advance in t
prices o! Rum is fully supported, but very little business
been done this week, owing to the quantity remaining . hast.e
hands of the importers being 1
small ; the sales ha!i
been confined to 150 puns. Jamaica and 150 puns. Leewards,
the former 22 per cent. over at 4s. 4d., 09 over at 4s. Bd., x.

416 puns., 100 puns. of which have been h:,.ought coastwise.
Brandy for consumption has been in fair request. In Geneva

'curiPENTINE,--
In Rough there has been nothingprice remains at 18s. Spirits sell slowly at easier vices,
82s. 6d. a 83s. accepted.
WooL.-The market for every description has ljePn in
very langiaid state, and although the stocks in the importers
hands al;(.: large, still they nd
will not submit to any dec:,ine •
it is generally supposed that no public sales of Colonial Woo
will take place tins season; the merchants expecting that the
brisk demand which must shortly spring up will cause prices
to improve. The large failure in the English Wool trade has
produced nn oh heaviness in the market.
Fityvv,,-Ily private contract New Valentia Raisins `have
11Co4 taken off more freely, and of the late arrivals very fell
remain on hand; new Currants also sell steadily at the opening
prices ; and of old the stock is very much reduced; at the
lowest quotation there are few offering.
St‘voiteTßE.-There has been but little done this week;
the parcels of Rough offered at auction, in all 3,900 bags,
have gone at 6d. a Is. decline, but the chief part has been dis-
posed of, Calcutta good strong dry white, refraction 41, 283;

aisposed of, and Malabar fine heavy 44-d. a 41d., half tteavy,
3Y a a 4d., Sumatra ordinary light dusty and stalky, 30. a

mento maintained last week's rates, but there was not much

tised for the 14th of next month, in all 1,354 bales and 40
chests.
At sale this, afternoon 100 bags Pimento sold at 3id. a ail
for mid., being id. lower.
COCOA.—The prices of West India remain the same as last
week, and the Market still in a very languid state, no public
sales having occurred, and scarcely anything has taken place
by private contract.

COTTON.-The Cotton Market, like most others, has been
very dull for several weeks, being much influenced by the state
of the money marl( et ; under these circumstances public sales
to the extent of 10,000 bales were attempted this day, and the
result has been that only a small proportion found buyers at
very irregular prices, varying from id. a ;I.d. lower than former
rates, leaving the currency very unsettled. The buying was
mostly by export houses ; some of the best Surats for home use"
CocHtNitAL.-Prices have undergone no change, but the
demand has been moderate, and only a part of the 120 serous
at auction were disposed of-Vera Cruz ord. and mid. blacks
at 7s. 2d. a 7s. 10d. ; ord. and fair silvers 6s. 4d. a 6s, 101;
Honduras ord. foxey to good bright silvers 6s. 6d. a 7s. Id•

a 7s. 5d., ord. 6s. sd. a 6s. 7d. ; mid. and good blacks taken
in at Bs. 4d. a Bs. sd.
INDIGO.-There is still scarcely anything doing by private
contract, either for shipping or the home trade ; yet the flier;
chants are firm in their demands, they expecting that a revival
in the demand will soon take place. There is nothing Press-
ing on the market privately, but to sell reduced rates must ba
submitted to, and 33 chests Bengal brought to the public sale
went 2d. a 3d. cheaper, mid. and good selling at ss. 7d•
6s. 6d. ; 23 serons Guatemalawerc nearly all taken in at easy
prices, mid, and good Cortes at 45.6 d. a ss. Id.
()ILL-The prices are not so high now as they were last
week, but the late advance on all descriptions of Fish Oils has
I occasioned the demand from the home dealers to be extremely
moderate, just sufficient to supply their immediate wants. Sales
of Cod made at 481., Pale Seal 531., Southern Whale 44/. $
461. The exporters are altogether out of the market. With
the exception of fifteen vessels, all have arrived from the Davis'
Straits Fishery ; the estimate as to the production will be less
than was previously anticipated, and the quantity of Oil pro-
duced will not be more than 800 tuns. Linseed Oil has be'
come dull of sale, and the price has fallen to 395. a 395. 610
the arrivals of Seal having been large. The request for Rape
is extremely moderate, and prices are Is. lower. In Olive
there is no change, but little business doing.
COFFEE.-There has been less pressing for sale, yet such s
the want of confidence that the British Plantation Coffee
Market has been in a very languid state all the week, and prices
continue to give way • the ord. and unclean qualities are tin."
saleable, although offered at a decline of 45., which is owing to
the low rates at which good ord. Ceylon may be purchased,
and the demand from the grocers for the clean descriptions has
been extremely moderato at a decline of 2s. ; the principal park
of the quantity offered at public sale, amounting to 244 casks*
have been bought in% the remainder were disposed of, Jamaica

stock now exceeds that of last year by 1,000 packages. Th.!
East India Market has been more than usuallyteary tu'i

vately, and there having been little done for shipping

Mocha sold at a decline of ss. a 65., mid. green clean (4,81

for fine. The dull accounts from the Continental Mari'
; ete
have occasioned the transactions in Foreign here by Prle,
contract, in the absence of public sales, to he extremely inb°so
rate, and rather low prices have been submitted to. 500
good ord Brazil have been sold at 465., being a decline of
on last week's rates.
This afternoon there is still much heaviness in the East
