MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of Dec. 27.)

SI:DAR. -The British Plantation Sugar Market was ex-
tremely lively all last week, from the refiners and grocers
there was a very animated and general demand, and the im-
porters have obtained an advance on previous rates of Is. a
Is. 6d. for brown, and 2s. a 2s. 6d. for yellow qualities ; the
daily sales have averaged 1,100 hhds. and trs. ; Berbice good
brown has been sold at 555., St. Vincents dark grey at 565.,
Grenada mid. yellow 575. a 585., Demerara good mid. 595. a
60s. ; Jamaica rather better 60s. 6d. a 61s. ; Dominica good
with much colour 645., Antiguas fine 635. a 665. For refined
goods from the grocers there has been a brisk demand at an
advance of 2s. ; sales of Lumps to pass the standard made at
78s. a 795., and rather under at 775. 6d. ; the export qualities
have met with a good sale at is. 6d. a 2s. advance; parcels of
double Crushed sold at 365. 6d. a 375. ; goods are extremely
scarce, and the refiners are reluctant to make contracts for de-
livery; Bastards and Treacle heavy of sale. The transactions
in Dutch crushed amount to 250 hhds. at 345. 6d.
INlnuarrius.-There has been a brisk demand from the gro-
cers for parcels by private contract, and the prices paid rate
Is. 6d. a 2s. per cwt. higher.
EAST INDIA.--From the grocers there has been a very ani-
mated demand by private contract for Bengal Sugar at an ad-
vance on previous rates of Is. 6d. a 2s. ; parcels of ord. and
good mid. white have been disposed of at 31s. a 355.
FOREIGN.-The off•~rs made of Is. to 2s. under former rates
for yellow Havannah and good white Brazil continuing to be
refused by the holders, there have again been no transactions.
MOLASSES.-There has been a good demand for West India,
and prices have improved Is. ; sales of good Demerara made
at 265. 6d. a 275., and some middling of other islands at 245.
6d. a 265.

COFFEE.-The West India Coffee Market has been in a
very languid state, the grocers purchasing just sufficient to
supply their immediate wants, which at present are extremely
moderate. Of Jamaica there has been none offered at public
sale, and at auction only 41 casks and 32 bags have been
brought forward, when only a part was disposed of at a reduc-
tion on previous rates of Is. 6d. a 25., Berbice mid. sold at
90s. a 925., Demerara unclean mid. 80s. The arrivals have
been rather heavy, amounting to 310 hhds., and 550 bags, the
chief part Demerara and Berbice. The East India Market
has been quiet for the descriptions admissible for home con-
sumption at duty, and Ceylon has given way a 'trifle ; small
parcels of good ord. have been disposed off by private contract
at 705., and 490 bags at public sale sold at 70s. a 70s. 6d. for
similar quality ; sea damaged first class went at 68s. 6d. Cey-
lon is not to be purchased under 495. a 505., and fine Sama-
rang 48s. At auction 356 bags Sumatra sold at Is. 6d. a 2s.
advance, ord. to good ord. country damaged went at 375. a
41s. 6d., one lot 435. Mocha is held firmly, but the request
has been only for small parcels. Mysore, 328 bags, at 6d.
duty went at 795. a 81s. 6d. for fine green, and one lot of
yellow 81s. For Brazil the holders have obtained an advance
of Is., for small parcels 58s. a 595. has been paid; for St.
Domingo the holders still refuse to sell under 50s.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There has been an im-
proved request for Rum since our last, and the importers have
obtained fully former rates; the transactions have been 100
puns. Jamaica, 29 per cent. over proof at 4s. 7d., 30 over
4s. Bd., 33 over 4s. 9d. ; and 100 puns. Leewards, 7 and 6
per cent. over at 2s. Bd., 8 and 9 over at 2s. 9d., 10 over at
2s. 10d. Geneva is dull of sale. Brandy has met with a
steady demand.

Cucon.—The request for West India has been confined to
trifling parcels at barely previous prices. There is still nothing
to report of Foreign.
TALLOW.—There has been an improvement both in the de-
mand and price of this article. St. Petersburgh Tallow
Candle of fine quality has sold on the spot at 435. 3d. a 435.
6d. per cwt. Little or nothing done for arrival.
COTTON.—A good demand has existed for the East India
descriptions, chiefly for the ord. and mid. qualities of Surat,
for which an advance of id. a id. has been obtained ; all
other kinds remain firm in price ; the transactions have been
mostly to execute export orders. The sales comprise 350
Bengal 4id. a 44d. and 2,070 Surat 4d. a 61d.
PaovisioNs.—The demand for Irish Butter, the prices
for which still come high from Ireland, has been extremely
moderate, just sufficient to meet the immediate wants of
the cheesemongers, at steady prices. Foreign has met a
pretty good sale, the supplies having been less this week than
the last, and in some cases the buyers have been compelled to
pay high prices ; fine Friezland has brought 104 s. a 108 s., and
Holstein 106 s. a 112 s. Bacon is very firm in prices, but there
is not much business doing ; prime Waterford landed cannot
be purchased under 345. per cwt. India and Mess Beef and
Pork are dull of sale at the quoted prices. Lard continues
to meet a good demand at late prices. Both English and
Foreign Cheese are dull, yet in the prices there is no reduc-
tion to quote.
SALTPETRE.—There has been a brisk demand for Rough
by private contract, and a public sale of 2,057 bags which took

place on Friday, only a part found buyers at former rates
Calcutta refraction 91 to 31, mid, and good 265. 6d. a 285.
FRUIT. -The business doing continues limited, and scarcely_
any alteration in prices has taken place ; the best parcels of
new Turkey pulled Figs have been all sold at 11.55. a 1205.;
and parcels of inferior at 60s. a 80s. ; for new red Smyrna
Raisins in barrels there are enquiries, but at present none in
the market.
TEA.-The sales of Free Trade which succeeded the East
India Company's December sale have concluded. The jilt-
porters, with some exceptions, being influenced by the pressure
of heavy stocks, and alarmed by the low prices of the East
India Company's unprotected Tea at their recent sale, deter-
mined upon submitting to such rates as would ensure buyers.,
Of the quantities brought forward, we estimate the total sold
at 27,000 packages, and with the exception of the finest
blackish leaf Congous, and Fokien Boheas, of which kinds
there were not many, all descriptions have experienced a fall
below any prices that have occurred since the commencement
of the free trade with China. The following are the prices :--
Canton Bohea, 6/d. to 7/d. ; Fokien ditto, Is. Id. to Is. 2i-d•
Congou, mid. coarse and new mixed leaf, 100. to 10id•
mid. blackish leaf strong and Pekoe flavour, 2s. to 2s. 4d. ;
Campoi, Is. Bd. to Is. B}d. ; Caper, Is. 3d. to Is. bd. ;
Orange Pekoe, 10d. to 2s. Iod. ; black leaf Pekoe, Is. 9d'
to is. 9/d. ; flowery Pekoe, 2s. Id. to 3s. 6d. ; Hong Wig,
l.s. 10d. • Souchong, Is. 2d. to 3s. 6d. ; Pouchong, Is. iod.
to 3s. 6d. ; Twankay, Is. 41d. to Is. 91d. ; Hyson Skin. l$•
to Is. Old., is. 21d. to Is. 9,1c1 ; Hyson, 2s. to 4s. 6d. ;
Young Hyson, ls. Bd. to 2s. 7d. ; Imperial, 2s. 9d. to 3s. sd. ;
Gunpowder, 3s. 6d. to 4s. sd. Tea of sorts in fancy pakagas
3s. to Bs. Total quantity 63,532 packages.
OILS.-In the prices of Fish Oils little variation has taken
place ; the market has been exceedingly languid, the only
buyers being the home dealers, and they have taken only trifling
parcels. From the shippers there has been no request. Rape
has sold heavily at former rates. Linseed Oil on the spot bas
been in good request at 365. Palm is rather cheaper, small
sales made at 325. 6d. a 335.
SPICES.-For Pimento the request has been again mode-
rate, but still the holders refuse to submit to lower rates-
Pepper continues firm in price, and has met with a good de-
mand; at auction 182 bags Sumatra sold at 3d. for good light
quality ; white is dull, and a reduction of 4d. has been sub-
mitted to, only a part of 43 bags at auction were disposed eft
good mid. at Is. bd. a is. 7d. ; mid brown, Is. 31d. a Is. 7d.
36 bags long taken in at 445. for good fair. The Ginger
Market continues quiet, and 166 bags Malabar, offered at
auction, were all taken in, good fair bold at 335. 6d. a 345.
Cinnamon has been taken only in trifling lots at former prices.
For Mace there has been little request, and 17 casks at auction
went rather below late prices, fair bright flakey Bencoolen
sold at 7s. a 7s. 10d. The purchases made in Nutmegs hays
been trifling at a decline of 3d. a 4d. ; only a small portion of
the 21 chests 21 casks at public sale found buyers, good bold
brown at 6s. 6d. a Os. Bd. ; mid. limed firsts, seconds, and
thirds, at 6s. 2d. a 6s. 3d. ; Cape were bought in at 65. sa•
Cloves are still neglected. The holders of Cassia Lignea de-
manding advanced rates has prevented business, and 200 chests
offered at auction were bought in, good mid. thin false packed
at 615., good coarse at 60s.
WooL.-The Foreign Wool Market is rather firmer, end
the small quantity that has sold has been at a shade better
prices. English Wools are brisk, and Id. a 2d. per lb. in ad-
vance has been paid.
Rtes.-East India kinds are firm, but little has been done.
Carolina secures a steady sale•at 325. to 345. per cwt.
