MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Friday Evening.)

Sun A R.—The market for all kinds admissible for consumption is v‘.37
firm, and although the transactions in British Plantation have not been
to that extent this that they were last week, still there has been a good
business doing in both Grocery and Reining descriptions, considering
the scanty and indifferent show. The stock is rather larger than it was
in 1837, but is 370 hhds, &e. less than in 1536. The arrivals this year
are on a par with those of last, but they fall short of those of 1836 by
3,260 hhds, &c. The purchases for the week are 1,600 hhds. and trees,
middling to good bright grocery at 50s to 635, fine 645, strong grey for
refining 58s Gd to 60s, low to fine brown 56s Gd to 58s per cwt. For
all descriptions of Refined goods there has been a good demand for the
scale, and an advance on previous rates of Gd to Is has been established;
sales of Lumps passing the standard made at 77s to 77s Gd, and rather
under at 765.

MAURITIUS.—Prices still continue to improve, and there has been a
very good -demand for all descriptions, at an advance on previous rates
ot 6d,ordinary and low middling yellow sold at 57s to 58s Gd, middling
59s to 59s Gd, good bright Gls to 625, fine 62s Gd to 635, very superior
of a favourite mark nearly white with strength G5B 6,1 to 665, fine
brown 56s to 57s 6d, ordinary 54s Gd, low to good grey 60s to 625. This
afternoon there was a good businessdoing. Good brown went at 56s to
56s 6d, fine 57s to 58s, fine yellow Gus to 635, good 60s Gd to 61s 6d,
mid and good mid 58s Gd to 60s

E►ST INntA.—This afternoon 4,165 bags Bengal were submitted for
public competition, which were taken readily by the grocers at prices
fully equal to those previously obtained privately, fine white sold at
64s 6d to 65s 6d, good 63s to 645, low and mid 618 to 69.5, damps
59s 6d to 635.

MOLAtOES.—At previous rates there has been a good demand for West
India, and the purchases have been 250 puncheons Demerara; good
quality at 29s per cwt.
cOPREL.—In the present inactive state of the Market it is impossible
to quote prices accurately, about 76s is the price for good, 82s to 84s for
fine ordinary, and 88s to 92s for coloury : the stock is rather under that
of last year; i❑ the import there is also a slight falling off. For export
there are few orders here for Sumatra, Samarang, or for other descrip.
tions : at auction 63 bags Samarang sold at 45s for good ordinary.
This afternoon there was still very little doing privately in any descrip.
tion ; the only public sale was 39 bags Samarang sold at 44s 6d for good
ordinary,

Tan.—The trade have purchased very sparingly of all descriptions at
the public sales of 176,424 packages, or 12,554,822 ibs, which com-
menced on Monday last. This afternoon the biddings were very lan-
guid; rather lower prices have again been accepted for Twankeys and
Congous, the former of common quality selling at ls 9d to Is 91d, the
latter ordinary at is sd, some breaks of very inferior forming no crite-
rion to market prices sold at is 2d; it is generally supposed that the sale
all throughout will be a heavy one, the quantity brought forward being
much too large for the wants of the trade. The total quantity passed
the sale to this evening is 55,000 packages, not above 20,000 of which
have found buyers.

TALLow.—The prices are still dcclinin, the trade have purchased
reluctantly of 1' Y C, and the value of first quality has receded to 50s
to 51s, at which the transactions have been extremely limited; for de.
livery in the last three months the operations have been to a very limited
extent at 455. per cwt.

Spices.—For Black Pepper full prices arc still required. Malabar
sold at 4id a 41d for good half heavy grey. White taken in at is Bd.
Nutmegs are flat, at 4s 2d, good consumers bs, fine bold Singapores at
58 4d a bs Sd, a few lots for consumption of good quality sold at 4s 1 Id
a Ss. In Cloves there has been little stirring. Benceolen at Is I lid,
and good A mboyna is 10d. For Cassia Lignea fully previous quota-
tions are demanded, low mid coarse at 60s, and very inferior mixed 555.
OILS.—The Market for common descriptions of Fish Oils continues
to improve. Cod has advanced 40s a 60s, sales at 371 a 381, and further
purchases could only be made but at the latter figure. Southern is also
20s higher, 291 paid for fine, and '261 for inferior quality. In Sperm
there has been a fair business passing at S2l a 831 for the best. Rape
has been taken very sparingly, and prices have receded to 38s a 38s 6d
for pale, and 37s for brown. Olive is in better request at improving
prices.
