MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Neu) London Price Current of last Night.)
SUGAR.—The Sugar Market continued closed all last week ;
of course there could be no alteration in the prices. The
stock of West India Sugar is now 22,438 hhds. of trs., being
14,730 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is now
34,599 bags, which is 19,670 less than last year. The deli-
very of West India last week was 2,028 hhds. and trs., which
is 19 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is 2,871
bags, being 630 more than the corresponding week of 1835.
There was much interest excited at the opening of the
Sugar Market this morning, being the first Market day since
the 24th ult. ; the rise in the Refined Market prepared the
trade to expect a further advance in raw Sugars ; the holders
asked prices about is higher than before the holidays, which
have been reluctantly given, but as the day proceeded the ad-
vance became the currency of the Market ; the estimated sales
this day are 1,100 hhds. and trs., including the public sale of
Barbadoes, the latter 120 hhds. low yellow to fine Barbadoes,
sold 13. Gd. higher, from 655. 6d. to 68s. In the Market very
low brown Demerara sold at 625., which may be considered the
lowest point of the Market.
On investigating the sales of Sugar with the samples before
the close of the holidays, we find the prices of good and fine
Sugars Is. a ls. 6d. higher this day, and on brown Sugars fully
Is. 6d. higher. There has been little business done in the Re-
fined market, on account of the holidays, but the transactions
were more extensive than is usual at this season of the year, and
the prices have gradually advanced during the holidays, mak-
ing an improvement in prices of 2s. per cwt. ; Lumps to pass
the standard 855., and few sellers ; fine Crashed for export
445. In the Refined market there is little alteration this after-
noon, Lumps not to pass the standard sold at 85s. Gd.
MAURITIVS.—There have been no sales of Mauritius during
the holidays.
EAST INDIA AND FOREIGN.—There have been no extensive
transactions reported, but the holders were asking Is. to 2s.
higher. Average price of Sugar, 1/. 19s. 4d. per cwt.
WELT INDIA MOLASSES.—This day by public sale 418
puns. new West India Molasses, a great proportion of good
Demerara sold at 285., which is 2s. lower; 44 puns. St.
Lucia of inferior quality taken in at 265. 6d. The total deli-
veries of 'West India Molasses from the warehouses for the
week ending 2d Jan. amount to 1,589 cwt.
COFFEE.—There have been no public sales of Coffee du-
ring the holidays, and very few transactions by private con-
tract ; the parcels of clean Plantation have been much wanted,
and are scarce. There has been some request for coloury
Foreign Coffee, and some parcels of Brazil have been reported
sold at 525. to 545.

There were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon ; the
Market has a very firm appearance, particularly for Plantation
descriptions suitable for the home consumption.
The total deliveries of Coffee from the warehouses for the
week ending 2d Jan• , are 122,478 lbs. of West India, and
69,985 lbs. of East India.

very firm ; there are new arrivals, and some barely above proof
have been sold at 2s. 23d. The contract for Government is
daily expected in the Market. In Brandy and Hollands there
is no alteration.

T ALLOW. —There is no new feature in the Tallow Market;
it. is heavy, and the sales rather drooping.
RICE.—The Rice in this Market is held with much firmness
there are no sales to any extent reported.
Lusa PRovlsioNS.—The unsettled state of the weather has
completely stagnated the Butter Market. 'The Irish curers of
Bacon having entered into contracts for forward shipments
now find the supply of pigs not adequate to the demand, and
the prices too high ; some of them have already determined on

stopping payment, by way of cancelling their engagements.
The. Irish agents having commenced wharfingers for the pur-
pose of housing their own goods, have caused the cheese-
mongers to be very timid buyers from those parties, fearing
that by mistake stale goods may be delivered for fresh ones,
and the shippers appear apprehensive that their interest may
suffer for the purpose of securing the wharf charges.; a report
is in circulation that an opulent party of wharfingers are about
to' commence as agents in self-defencq. The prices of Butter
are altogether nominal. ,Bacon rather drooping; singed
Bacon 40s..:Middles 425. to 445. Cork Butter 965; Lime-
rick 945. ; Waterford Butter 90s. to 945.

TEA.—There is no new feature in Tea; the inspection of
the large sales 19th inst. will be general in the Market the
end of this week. The total deliveries of Tea from the ware-
houses on which duty has been paid for the week ending 2nd
January, are 464,312 lbs.
COTTON.—The accounts from Liverpool are rather favour-
able ; the sales are 28,000 bags at higher prices, particularly
the American descriptions, the advance upon which is about
id. per lb. Here there is little doing, but the prices are
very firm ; the sales sir cc Friday are too inconsiderable to
enumerate.

Refined large sales are reported at 31s.
FRUlT.—There is no business to report in the Fruit Market.
DRYSALTERIES, &c.—The following articles are in good de-
mand at steady prices—Lac Dye, Annatto, Argol, Shumac,
Valonea and Turmeric. The following articles are in im-
proved demand.—Cochineal, particularly for export ; the
recent arrivals are expected at public sale, after which no more
sales are expected for some months; Tin considerably ad-
vanced and firm ; Brimstone, Yellow Berries and Dyewoods,
particularly for Logwood, for which there is a speculative de-
mand; Brazil Wood went off with more spirit at public sale;
100 tons are expected to be brought forward in ten days ;
Fustic steady; Barwood neglected; Camwood, Sanders, and
Sapan Wood more inquired after. The following articles

current business doing at firm prices. The Hooghly has ar-
rived from Canton with 248 bales raw Silk.

OILS.--In Fish Oils but little is doing ; the prices are
nearly the same as last week. There is more briskness in-Seed
Oils, and higher prices are demanded. Olive Oils are sup-
ported in prices, owing to the stock being short.
TURPENTINE.—There are no purchases reported in Turpen-
tine ; the parcel which has been in the market some time still
remains unsold, the prices asked being considered too high, ISe.
to 18s. Spirits unvaried.

a shade lower; ord. and light, 4id. to 40., heavy 41d. to

INimoo.—The letters from Calcutta of Aug. 28th, state
the estimate of the crop at 115,000 maunds; the Indigo
being much
,injured by the late inundations ; these' accounts
have given greater firmness to the Market. The late ar-
rivals of Indigo have not been declared for sale on the 19th
instant, but the trade reckon upon the whole quantity being
brought forward, which will increase the quantity to 5,500
chests. The stock now is 21,500 chests ; the prices are 13.6 d.
per lb. lower than in August, 1835, when the stock was
38,400 chests. The prices of the Market are very firm, and
