MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Feb. 13.)
SUGAR.—To day former rates were not generally sup-
ported for Colonial Sugar by reason of the increased
quantity that was pressed upon the market. The public
sales, however, on the whole went off better them were
expected. Only a small amount of business was concluded
in West India, and the rates accepted are in some cases
6d under those of Friday. A public sale of 1.50 hhds
Barbadoes went at the former value ; fine ye;-low re-
alised 41s 6d to 425, good 39s 6d to 40s 6d, 'low and
middling 37s to 38s 6d per cwt. The total sales to-day
are 500 hhds, &c.
REFINED.—To-day there was much dulness in the
Refined Sugar market, and lower rates were accepted;
brown lumps selling at 48s to 4&. 6d, and standard
lumps 49s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is little
wanted, and 27s 6d to 28s 6d is the value.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauri-
tius Sugar submitted to public competition was exten-
sive, and amounted to 14,800 bags, consisting chiefly of
the better descriptions. There was less disposition
evinced to operate, still rather more than one- half sold,
and in some cases the rates accepted were rather under
those current previously; good to fine yellow sold at
38s Gd to 40s 6d, middling 3Gs 6d to 3135, low 356 6d to
365, ord to fine brown 29s to 35s,:grey 35s to 40s, washed
and syrupy 29s to 40s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was abund-
antly supplied with Bengal sugar; there were five
public sales, consisting of 10,668 bags, the chicif part of
superior quality. The biddings were less spirited, and
about two-thirds sold, but at prices in favor of the trade.
FOREIGN.—A greater disposition has been m.anifested
to make purchases in white llavannah Sugar, and the
private sales this day week are 3,000 chests, at 28s 6d to
33s for ordinary to fine quality. Other sorts of Foreign,
however, met with less attention from exporters, and in
some cases rather lower rates are acceded to. The sales are
3 cargoes of new brown Pernambuco at 18s 6d to 19s per
cwt, in bond. Only small -parcels have been taken for
refining under bond, and home dealers evince little de-
sire to do business, as the rates current are above those
of Colonial Sugar. At public sale 5,417 chest's of yel-
low Havannah were sold, all washed.
MOLASi3ES.—Holders are firm, and insist upon 17s to
20s for West India; the sales concluded are, however, of
little moment. East India Treacle is held for 15s 6d
to 16s per cwt., still only small parcels have lann dis-
posed of.

COFPEE.—This afternoon the market for Native Cey-
lon Coffee presented a quiet appearance. At public sale
2,159 bags were offered, when a small part only- sold at
35s to 35s 6d for real good ordinary, and at 300 top 34s 6d
for damaged, which are full rates. The chief part was
taken in at 36s for sound good ord; the offers di Elliot ex-
ceed 34s 6d. For Plantation the market is quiet, .and part
only of 629 bags 7 casks found buyers at formi?..r value;
good ordinary 35s 6d to 38s, fine ordinary 44s 64 to 46s'
tine fine ordinary 47s Gd to 48s 6d, low middliN • 51s to
535; better sorts were taken in at 55s to 655. Mocha is

less wanted, and former rates are not to be ob ttined:
at public sale 110 bales, returned fromllarnbu rg:b, went
at 50s to 52s for low middling greenish. The market
for Foreign Coffee is not so firm, and at auction. 53 bags
Rio were sold at 23s per cwt for low ordinary.
COCOA.—Foreign is not to be obtained up on lower
terms, less demand, however, prevailed. At auction
233 bags Bahia were offered, when good and :fine red
were taken in at 28s to 295, but damaged sold at; 23s to
275. Of 724 bags of Para a small part only s o4d. For
West India a greater demand exists, and stiffer rates are
paid. 30 barrels and 257 bags at public sale were all
disioscd of.
