MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—The West India Market was very heavy all last
week, the purchases did not exceed 2,000 hhds. and trs. ; the
prices were in several instances tid. lower, on account of the de-
cline in Mauritius Sugar. The stock of West India Sugar is now
50,015 hhds. and trs., which is 4,343 more than last year. The
stock of Mauritius 110,072 bags, being 57,437 more than last year.
The delivery of West India Sugar last week 3,273 hhds. and trs.,
being 665 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 6,533
bags, being 500 less than in the corresponding week of 1830. The
estimated sales this day are 000 hhds. at firm prices, the Barba-
does rather higher. The Refined Market was very heavy all
last week, and Lumps were purchased lid. under our quotations ;
the fine goods for home consumption were also dull, and a small
reduction in the currency. The Market this afternoon is with-
out alteration.

EAST INDIA St' OARS.—The public sales of Mauritius Su.
gar last week went off heavily, and again at a reduction of Gd. to
Is. lower, low but dry brown 3Ss. Gd. a 395. fine brown 425. yellow
435. a 415.; Manilla at a reduction of is. at 20s. a 295. Gd. which a
few weeks ago were 245. This day at public sale 1,620 bags Mau-
ritius sold, as usually the case, at prices rather lower than the pre-
vious sale, brown coloury at 425. and good white 475. 6d. ; 2,300
bags Manilla and a small parcel Siam at former prices.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—At the public sale of Friday 1,279
chests of yellow Havannah Sugar went oil' heavily at a reduction
of 6d. to Is., at 20s. a 245. 6d. This day 1,774 chests Havannah
sold with more briskness, and at full market prices; good white
a 325. 6d., mid. 315., yellow 225. a 245., brown 20s. Gd.; 128
chests Brazil taken ?L..

WEST INDIA MOLASSES.-Antigua Molasses have been
sold at 235. ; the great proportion of the stock here remains under
seizure. Average price of Sugar 11. 3s. 10%d. per cwt.
COFFEE-The good and fine ord. British Plantation Coffee
sold Is. a Is. 6d. lower last week, but there is since a greater re-
quest by private contract at rather higher prices. Foreign and
East India Coffee fully support the late currency : 8(X) bags co-
loury Brazil sold at 465. ; above 900 packs Cuba were mostly
taken in above the market prices, some tine ord. coloury sold at
(ills. ; common Havannah sold sr2s. a 545. ; several parcels of St.
Domingo 445. a 455. The demand tor Foreign and East India
Coffee by private contract has become brisk, St. Domingo sold at
455. tkl. and 465:, which is higher. By public sale this day 295
bags East India sold at full prices, good Sumatra 40s. erd., ord.
3.55. 6d. •; ord. Batavia 435. 6d.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.-The reduction in the
prices of Rum has facilitated the purchases for the export orders
to some extent, but the Market is still dull, and rather lower,
two or four over being sold at Is. 5.1. Brandy heavy ; the best
marks 4s. 4d. and 4s. ; some parcels pale Geneva 24. 6d.
HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.-There was a kind of panic
in the Tallow Market last week, occasioned by the unexpected
event of 10,c00 casks being thrown upon the Market for sale ;
from 395. the price declined to 375. 6d. Very extensive orders,
limited as to prices, from the country were executed. The
Market has since rallied, and has become much more firm, and
has advanced to 38.5. fiel. Hemp is heavy and lower. Flax is at
nearly nominal quotations.
IRISH PROVISIONS.-The import of Foreign Butter in the
last week was 8,313 casks; of Irish, 10,589 firkins, and Bacon 885
bales ; in addition to which there are further arrivals of Irish
Butter to-day. The price of Foreign Butter at the quay during
the week was 965. for fine Friesland, and 80s. a 90s. for Holstein,
Embden, &c. Although the import of Irish Butter at the Ist of
last June to the present time is about 26,000 firkins less than it
was in the same period of last year, the price being now Bs. a
10s. per cwt. higher, the stock accumulating at the wharfs, and
the delivery from them 30,000 firkins less this year than it was
from the Ist of June in the last year, those circumstances tend
to depress the market very materially, and our present quotations
must be considered nominal ; Cork, &is. a 88s. ; Limerick, &is. a
89s. ; Waterford, 84s. a Ris. ; and Carlow (as to quality), 86s. a
925. landed; very few sales on board effecting. Bacon sells
slowly, and for it, as well as Hams and Bladder Lard, we cannot
alter our last quoted prices. For Beef and Pork very little inquiry.
