MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price Current of last Evening.)
SUGAR.—The good and fine yellow descriptions of British
Plantation have been in steady request by the grocers, and
have brought fully previous rates, 61s. paid for Jamaica ; the
importers on Wednesday and Thursday having submitted to
rather lower rates for brown to mid. yellow sorts have
tempted buyers to come forward more freely, and a good deal of
business has been done ; the refiners have been the principal
operators, and have paid prices from 50s. to 535. ; 5,000
hhds. 370 trs. &c. have been imported since last Tuesday, which
is however not nearly equal to last year during the same period.
The delivery has been rather above that of a twelvemonth
before. The sales since our last have been 2,400 hhds and trs.
This afternoon there was only a limited demand by private
contract, either for the scale or pan, the purchases amounting
to only 350 hhds and trs, but the prices of Friday were sup-
ported, good and fine yellow sorts are most in demand, the
supply of which is still rather short. At auction 141 hhds
Barbadoes sold readily, the best descriptions at 6d advance,
other kinds at fully previous rates, low and mid yellow went
at 57s to 59s 6d, good mid and good 60s to 625, fine 62s 6d
to 645.

The stock of West India Sugar is now 37,199 hhds and
trs, being 11,756 more than last year. The stock of Mau-
ritius is now 77,647 bags, which is 21,568 mere than last
year. The delivery of West India last week was 2,895 hhds
and trs, which is 154 more than last year. The delivery of
Mauritius was 6,469 bags, being 1,092 more than the cor-
responding week of last year.
The Refined market continues in a dull state, and prices are
still on the decline ; the home trade have purchased very
sparingly of common as well as the better descriptions of goods ;
74s 6d to 75s have been accepted for Lumps passing, 73s to
74s for those rather under the standard, and 70s to 71s for
brown ones, which rates are 6d to is under those of last Tues-
day. For export the demand has also been limited, and the pur-
chases have been confined to a few small parcels of double
Crushed at 33s 6d, at which there are generally sellers. Treacle
has experienced a dull sale at is decline; 25s accepted for the
best old make, 24s 6d for patent, and 23s for common. Pieces
have been taken sparingly, and a reduction of Is has been sub-
mitted to. Bastards have sold heavily, and it is reported that
sales of common have been made under 40s. For Dutch
Crushed Sugar 325. has been accepted for a parcel.
