MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, July 27.)
SUGAR.-To-day importers of West India Sugar were
not disposed to submit to any further reduction, yet the
demand was limited both for the scale and refining pur-
poses. The purchases amounted to 400, making for the
week 2,000 hhds, &c., and the decline in prices during
that time has been 6d per cwt.
REFINED.-To-day there was more business doing in
Refined Sugar for home trade purposes, but at former
rates there are free sellers. Bonded Crushed Sugar is
in excellent request at 29s 6d to 30s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.-This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritius Sugar, and by private treaty only small
purchases were made : at former rates there are free
sellers.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon a public sale of 4,223
bags Madras Sugar went at a decline of 6d to is per
cwt, but all sold; fine grocery went at 42s 6d, good 41s
6d to 423, damp and washed 41s 6d to 425. Bengal met
with little attention, and a small part only of 3,860 bags
at p”blin sale found hivera at barely former rates; good
and fine suft yellow Benares went at 38s ad to 393 6d,
low and middling white 38s 6d so 398 6d, good 40s to
41s, damp and washed 38s to 40s 6d, and fine grainy
white at 47s per cwt.
FOREIGN.-To-day Foreign Sugar-was held for full
rates; there was, however, less inquiry for all purposes.
At public sale 347 hhds 150 barrels Porto Rico were
taken in at 40s 6d to 41s for fine yellow, and at 38s 6d
to 40s for low to good, which are full rates. The private
operations for the week are a cargo of white Maceio at
22s 6d, a parcel of yellow Porto Rico at 21s 3d, 500
chests Havannah at 20s 6d to 22s 6d, and 300 chests
white at 32s to 363.
MOLASSES .-For West India the demand has been
extremely limited by private treaty, and prices are on
the decline. Imports are also upon an enlarged scale,
and the best realise above 20s per cwt. At auction 22
puns of St. Vincents were taken in at 18s. East India
Treacle is offered at 16s 6d to 17s, and few buyers are
to be met with. Of Jamaica Honey 27 casks at auction
were sold at 48s to 58s per cwt.
COFFEE.-This afternoon Coffee met with little atten-
tion froth shippers or home dealers, but lower rates were
not taken. At public sale 740 bgs Plantation Ceylon were
taken in at 52s to 54s for low middling and middling,
which are full rates. Native of good ordinary quality
is held for 35s to 35s ed per cwt.
COCOA.-British Plantation is held for the former
value, still only a limited demand has been experienced,
and a larger quantity is on offer. At public sale 281
bags 25 brls Trindad were only in part disposed of, at
from 42s to 46s for ord to good red, fine bright 47s 6d to
49s 6d; 61 bags St. Lucia were mostly taken in at 36s
to 38s; 63 bags Grenada 37s to 37s 6d, and 89 brls
Dominica at 37s per cwt. For Foreign the market is in
a quiet state, and the supply is larger: at auction the
sound of 1,471 bags Guayaquil was taken in at 275, but
damaged sold at 24s to 26s per cwt.
TEA.-Although arrivals have much increased this
week, amounting to 50,000 pkgs, still on the part of
holders there is firmness, and none has been submitted
to auction. Former rates are well supported for all sorts
of Congou, and a fair amount of business has been
concluded. The value of ord and good common is 83d
to 9d, better sort 10d to is 3d, fine strong black leaf and
Pekoe flavour ls 4d to is 10d per lb. In Green several
sales have been made, and the rates paid are fully equal
to;last Friday.
RICE.-To-day East India Rice was in greater re-
quest, and the public sales went at full rates, indeed
white Bengal fetched rather more money. Of Arracan
3,354 bags were sold at 7s 6d to 8s; 3,000 bags went 85
to 8s ed for pinkey white, and at 7s 6d to 8s for cargo.
1,935 bags white Bengal, good and fine lOs 5d to 115 6d
per cwt.
SPICES.-Jamaica Ginger in good request, and former
rates are readily paid. At auction 196 pkgs were all
sold at from 41 to 51 lOs for ord and mid, and at 61
to 101 35 for good to fine. Of African 20 bags went
at 365. Shipping kinds of East India are more in
demand at 23s to 265, and holders displayed firm-
ness. Pimento continues "to be much wanted.
At auction 31 bags sold at 4d to to 4id for low and mid.
There is firmness on the part of holders of black Pepper,
and none has been offered at auction. Purchases to
a fair extent have been made by private treaty; Malabar
shot at 3id to 31d, heavy 3d to 36d, inferior 2id
to 2id, Sumatra, clean lid to 2 d, and inferior
2id to 2id. White is still in scanty supply, and the
rates paid are from 5d to 9d. Pod Pepper is offered at
rather lower rates, and met with little attention. The
value of Cassia Lignea is from 94s to 100 s, and few par-
cels are to be obtained; there is also several buyers. The
quarterly sales of Cinnamon will take place on Mon-
day, when only a limited quality will be offered. For
Cloves the market is still firm; Bourbon and Zanzibar at
7d to Bid, Bencoolen is 4d to 2s, and Amboyna is to
Is 3d. There are several purchasers of Mace at 2s 3d
to 2s Bd, and inferior at 2s to 2s 2d. Nutmegs are
wanted and the supply is yet small; for brown prices rule
from 2s ed to 3s 10d, and limed 2s to 2s 10d per lb.
FRUIT.-In Currants we have no alteration to notice
this week. The demand for shipping continues good.
Valencia Raisins were lowered in the beginning of the
week to 445, but without causing much improvement in
the demand. There is, however, very little doing in the
other descriptions of fruit.
COCHINEAL.-To-day there was little desire evinced to
operate in Cochineal, and at the public sales of 88 bags
prices declined Id to 2d. Honduras black ord went at
3s 8d to 3s 10d, mid and good 3s 10d to 4s, and Lima
3s 8d to 4s 4d, Mexican ungarbled silvers 3s 3d to 3s 6d,
and black 3s 5d to 3s 7d.
INDIGO.-Since the conclusion of the quarterly sales
of Indigo only small purchases have been made in East
India, and rather lower rates are taken for most sorts.
SPIRITS.-There is still firmness in the market for
Leeward Island Rum, and a good business has been
concluded at is 5d to Is 6d proof, indeed some parties
will not take these rates. Of East India several lercteliss
have been sold at is 4d to is sd, and
