MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London Nets Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.-There is no alteration in the prices of Muscovades
this week; the demand appears increasing; the estimated sales
are 3,0'0 hhds. and trs. The market this afternoon has a very
firm appearance. The demand for low goods for export has con-
tinued steady and considerable; the market is so finn that a
further small advance has been obtained. The market continued
in the same firm state until yesterday, when the demand for ex-
port rather increased, and some extensive purchases of low Lumps
were made at 615. 6d. a 625., which is about 6d. higher than the
quotations of last week, and there are now very few parcels re.
maining on hand ; of the fine descriptions also, entitled to the
bounty on doubled-refined, the sales have been more extensive
this week, though at low prices, 70s. a 71s. having been accepted
for some large parcels ; for this description of crashed also there
has been more inquiry, and some purchases have been made as
low as 30s. ; but in the lower sorts there does not appear to have
been any thing done.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.-The Mauritius Sugars at the public
sales have gone off rather heavily at prices a shade under last
Friday. Manilla has sold freely 20s. a 20s. Cd., full prices. In
Bengal ther few transactions. This day's sales 1,582 bags
East India Sugar; Bengal rather lower, a 235. ; Slams
also rather lower.
FOREIGN SUGARS.-There has been a great demand for
yellow Havannah Sugdr, and 500 boxes have sold at Is. a Is. 6d.
advance, at 235. ; the previous sales had been low to mid. yellow
21s. 6d. a 235., and some white 325. 6d. a 345., the latter also rather
higher. The Brazil Sugars went off heavily, and only the brown
descriptions sold, at rather better prices, 15s. 6d. a IBs.
COFFEE.-The British Plantation Coffee is still in brisk de-
mand and the low qualities are again Is. a Is. 6d. higher ; triage
6,35. ; and some broken 70s. Foreign and
contract East India
this week co Coffeesnsist are
little varied. The urchases by pro Ate
of about 3,000 bags Brazil at 465. 6d. and 475., which are the full
Market prices, and the highest rates yet realized; St. Domingo
also at 475. ; ord. Sumatra at 395., and since 40s. paid, which is Is.
higher. The low Jamaica descriptions are again 2s. higher, as we
have before stated; triage 675. and 685., fine ord. 725.; the latter
and the finer qualities do not advance in proportion with the lower
descriptions. Mocha Coffee has fallen 3s. a 45., on account of the
quantity offered, several parcels 645. and 6.55. ; the reduction has,
however, attracted the attention of the buyers. This day's sale
124 casks British Plantation, 293 bags East India ; Sumatra 395.,
Batavia 425. a 48s. The advance in Jamaica is fully maintained
her
,
the fine fine ord. and low mid., so long
neglected, are 2s. hig
this day, 745. a 765.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.-The prices of Leeward
Island Rum have again declined, parcels being sold, under proof
and proofs, Is. ; considerable parcels have been taken for
export ; in Jamaica few purchases are reported, except some low
strengths for shipping. In Brandy there is rather more doing,
particularly in the fist marks, about 4s. sd. In Geneva there is
no alteration. he Tallowe Hemp

OILS.-Oils are brisk, on account of there bein no intelli-
g
gence of the Davis' Straits Fishery; the advance is I/. to 21., and
the transactions rather extensive • Gallipoli 451., Olive 42/.
WOOL
-The late public sales have been 3,300 bags from New
South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, and about 200 bales of
German, Spanish, &c., but the latter are too inconsiderable to
form market prices. The Colonial Wool sold higher at the close
than at the first sales, but the Market is still dull, except for the
low qualities; the prices were 7%c1. to 2s. 6%d.
INDIGO.-The large declaration yesterday, 1,700 chests, makes
the quantity already known nearly 9,000 chests, and further de-
clarations are anticipated. There are no transactions of any ex-
tent reported.
COTTON.-The Cotton Market continues firm, but there is
