MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 21.)
SUGAR.—To•day full rates were obtained for most
sorts of West India Sugar; on the part of home dealers
not much desire was evinced to make purchases. The
public sales of 170 hhds and 6 tres Barbadoes went at
steady prices; low yellow at 37s to 378 6d, middling 38s
to 395, good to fine 39s 6d to 41s per cwt. The market
for raw Sugor closes quiet.
REFINED.—To•day Refined Sugar met with less de-
mand for home trade purposes, still refiners were firm,
and good brown lumps could not be obtained under 49s
per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for full rates,
and is wanted.

MAIIRITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
Sugar submitted to public competition amounted to 1,640
bags. There was not much desire evinced to operate,
and former rates were barely supported; good yellow
went at 395, middling 37s 64 to 38s 6d, low 36s to 375,
good and fine brown 34s 6d 43, 363, middling 33s 61 to
345, fair to good grey 365 to 38s 641,
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon grocery sorts of Madras
were in limited request only, and 2,000 bags at auction
only partly found buyers at about the former value; good
and fine strong white went at 43s to 44s 641, mid. 41s to
425, and fine soft yellow 39s to 39s 61. I,LOO bags
of other sorts all sold, but at rather lower rates; ordinary
and middling soft brown went at 30s to 325, good and fine
32s 6d to 33s 6d, ordinary yellow 33-4 6,1 to 345, and
middling 34s 6d to 35s 61. 1.000 bags Bengal went at
barely former terms; good and fine white Benares at
40s 6d to 42s 6d, damp 40s to 425, and strong white at
45s to 47s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, but several parcels are declared. By private
treaty few buyers were to be met with, and sales can be
made upon rather lower terms.

MoLissEs.—Prices keep on the decline for West
India, and buyers operate with caution; the stock also
continues to get larger. The sales are confined to
150 puns, chiefly good Antigua, at 18s 63 per cwt. In
East India Molasses few sales have been made, and
sellers are willing to accept 15s to 16s per cwt. Honey
has advanced in. value.

Cocoa.—With West India the market is still well
supplied, and prices contiue to recede, whilst the home
trade demand is limited. The value of red Trinidad is
from 393 to 475, and grey 38s to 425. The demand for
Foreign has been limited, and Aellers are willing to
acept 26s 6d to 28i per cwt, as there is still a large stock.
COME.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with at-
tention. At public sale 126 casks 1,410 bags were
offered, and nearly all sold at firm prices; Native, real
good ordinary went at 36s 6d to 37.; Plantation, good
58s to 635, low middling and middling 50s to 57s 6d,
fine fine ordinary 44s to 495, other sorts 36s 6d to 435,
a few lots fine 70s to 71s, and pea berry 59s 6d to 65s
per cwt.

TEA.—Congou, large sales have been made, whilst
holders display much firmness, and higher rates are likely
to prevail. We quote ordinary and good common quality
at 81d to 9d. mixed blackish leaf 9id to 100,
blackish leaf Ild to is Oid, ditto strong is Id to is 31d,
fine and Pekoe flavour is 4i to is 10d per lb. Green
has realized full terms, and a good business was con-
cluded in all sorts, whilst an advance is likely to take
place. Public sales of tea will be declared shortly, yet
large parcels will not be brought forward.
RICE.—To-day East India wet with less attention
privately, and at auction 2,400 bags white Bengal were
taken in at lOs for good mid white rather broken and
dusty, being the full value.
SPIRITS.—OnIy small purchases have been made in
Leeward Island Rum, and a fall in the value has taken
place; the price is 1 34id to is 5d proof, and on the part
of holders a desire has been evinced to sell. East India
is not much wanted, and prices are receding; only 250
puns have been sold at is 3d to Is 33d proof. A good
demand has been experienced in Demerara, but at
rather lower rates, and the sales are 300 puns at is lld
to 2s 3d for 30 to 40 per cent over proof. The lower
sorts of Jamaica have been dealt in with greater freedom
by shippers and home dealers, still better rates are not
to be obtained. About 250 puns have been sold at 2s 6d
to 2s 9d for 30 to 36 per cent overproof. A fair business
has been concluded in the better kinds at 2s 104 to 3s 4d,
and choice marks at 33 6d to 4s, of the latter the supply
continues to get smaller. Former advanced rates are well
supported for Brandy, and the home trade demand has
been active. A further rise is also expected to take
place, and prices rule as follows; Cognac best brands of
the vintage of 1848 at 3s 10d to 4s, 1847 ditto at 4s 4d
to 4s 6d, 1846 ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1845 ditto 5s 8d to
5s 10d, inferior marks 2s 4d to 33 Bd, and Bordeaux 2s
to 2s 2d. Geneva sells with more freedom at is 9d to
Is 10d for exportation, and-fine for duty at 2s 31 to 3s
3d. The market for British made Spirit is firm at 9s
Bd, and Gin at 8s to 8s 6d for 17 to 22 per cent under
proof.

INDIGO.—The market for East India is firm, and pur-
chases to a fair extent have been made by exporters and
home dealers, while the rates paid are fully equal to the
last quarterly auctions. For Spanish the demand is
steady, at full rates.

COCHINEAL.—For public sale this week large parcels
are declarod, mostly Honduras. A good business has
been concluded since our last report, and full rates are
paid. At auction 127 bags were fur the most part sold
—Honduras Silvers 3s 7d to 4s Id, black 3s 7d to 5s 2d;
Mexican 3s 9:1 to 3s 10J, and Silvers at 3s 6d to 3s. 8d
per lb.

SPICES.—For Pimento former rates are readily offered,
but few parcels are to be obtained by private treaty.
The value is from 4d to 4i- I prr lb. For Casiia Lignea
the market is firm, and there are several purchasers at
94s to 100 a per ewt, according to quality. The
market remains firm for Cloves ; Bencoolen at Is
4d to 2s, Araboyna is to is 2d, Bourbon and
Zanzibar lid to Bid per lb. For Cinamon the
demand is better, and merchants display firmness; for
Ceylon of first quality they obtain 3s 9d to 4s 3d; second
ditto 2s 8d to 4s, and third ditto is to 2s 10d. Black
Pepper realised full rates, and by private treaty opera-
tions have been upon a more extended scale; Malabar
shot at 31d to 31d, heavy 3d to 311, inferior 2id to
Sumatra clean 2id to 21, I, and inferior 2id to 41. White
from 4d to 9d. Pod Pepper is further depressed in
value, and at auction 184 bags went at 31s to 38s 61 p,r
cwt for low and mid. For Ginger prices have varied
little from this day week. Of African, 240 boxes and
1,192 bags at auction were sold at 36s to 37s 6.1 for mid
and good mid; 30 pkts of shipping Bengal were taken
in at 235; 22 boxes Barbadoes at 36s for mid small; but
134 pkgs of Jamaica were all sold at 41 17s to 81 5s for
mid to good. Nutmegs are still wanted, and former
rates are well supported.
SALTPETRE —For British Refined the demand has
been active at 30s 6d to 31s per cwt, and there are not
free sellers. In Ni,rate of Soda several purchases have
been made at lls 9d to 12i 6tl per cwt, and the market
firm.

TALLOW.—The purchases made in Russian on the spot
have been limited, and there is a desire evinced to sell
fine P. Y. Candle at 39s per cwt. Only limited saves
have been made for delivery in last three months of the
year, and sellers will accept 39s to 39s 3d per cwt.
Home melted, however, finds a free sale at 37s 6d to
38s 6i nett cash, but the supply is not smaller. Of
Sydney and South American 1,600 casks at auction were
for the most part sold at from 34s to 38s 6d; 80 cks P.
Y. Candle were taken in at 36s 6d for low, and 35 cks
of Soap Tallow at 34s 6d per cwt. Thu value of Rough
Fat is still 2s lid per stone of 8 pounds, and the market
is well supplied.
OaLs.—There are large arrivals of Cocoa Nut. At
public sale 30 tons of Ceylon were taken in at 32/. to
331., and the best is not worth above 35/. per tun. Palm
met with a much better demand, and an advar.ce
in the value has taken place; sales of fine quality
have been made at 31s to 32s per cwt.
Rape Oil met with a good sale, and the market
is firm—pale 375 6d to 38s, and brown at 375,
but the market is better supplied. Olive Oil has been
disposed of to a fair extent—Gallipoli 431 to 44/, and
other sorts 39s to 42/. Linseed Oil finds a more active
demand for home trade purposes, and an advance in the
value has taken place, sales having been made at 2536 d to
25s 9d per cwt on the spot. For forward delivers the
amount of business concluded has been small, and
there are sellers at 25s to 25s 3d. Sperm is not much
in demand, and fine quality is offered at
701 to 804 per tun. Seal 321 to 331. for pale. At
public sale 40 tuns were only in part sold—straw at
301 lOs to 314 and brown 261 15s to 271105. Cod is

271105 per tun. In Southern the sales made have been
small at 271 to 28/ for low to middling, and at 28/ 108 to
301 lOs for good and fine.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, AUG. 21.
The weather continues very favourable for the har-
vest; we had to-day a small number of farmers at
market. New wheat sold pretty readily at from 41s to
50s per quarter ; old was neglected. Spring corn sold
upon much the same terms as last week. Malt rather
lower. Flour steady.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—" On the
whole, we have had finer weather during the past week,
although the temperature has ranged lower than usual
or desirable at this season. Some early plots of wheat
are cut, and in a week harvest work will be quite general.
Arrivals are to a fair extent, chiefly from near small
ports, and as re,ards wheat of inferior quality. Such
is difficult to sell, and some concession has been neces-
sary on finer runs to make progress from the import
vessel. Warehoused parcels are not generally offered,
holders showing no disposition to throw away their pro-
perty. Hamburgh and Baltic letters advise a total disin-
clination to ship, at least to any extent, for this country;
they report extension of disease in potatoes, and safes
on speculation at prices very closely approximating to
those lately taken on this side the channel. At this day's
market there was a fair supply of wheat from the farmers,
quality chiefly very fine, and such was ready sale at fully
last week's rates For the little fine foreign on show
there was a fair demand and sale at the reduced cur-
rency. The bulk of the import is inferior stale wheat,
which is offered on low and attractive terms even for

pig feed. Barley of all kinds must be written is. Per
quarter lower, and spring corn generally may be VP
chased on more favourable terms than lately. One °`
two nice parcels of sale barley were shown today ata
moderate price. The market is nearly cleared of Indian
corn, but further arrivals are daily expected; the use°f
this artif,le is decidedly on the increase on this side the
island. The more moderate arrival of linseed tends I'
steady the trade, and the turn in sales is with the
porters. Less business passes in cakes, and crushers al
easier to deal with. We continue without imports
rapeseed, and quotations are nominal; as may also be
said of cakes.
