MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of December 8.)
SUGAR. —The West India Sugar Market has presented
a quiet aspect since we last wrote, the demand for both
grocery and refining purposes has been very limited, and
the purchases for the three market days have amounted to
only 6501111 b and tierces, ordinary and brown descriptions,
of which the supply principally consists, and which are the
most difficult of sale, as is usually the case at this
time of year, have suffered a depression of Is, but mid-
dling yellow sorts cannot be quoted more than 6d cheaper,
whilst good and fine have generally brought former rates,
the supply being small. For low middling grey Berbice
with some strength 74s has been accepted ; Demerara,
rather better, 75s to 76s ; Tobago and St. Kitts good co-
lory, 89s to 81s ; Jamaica rather better, 82s ; of a finer
kind scarcely any is to be had ; several of the merchants
keep their samples out of the market. The arrivals during
the past eleven months have been 30,000 hhds and tierces
less than in 1839 during the same time.
This afternoon 370 boxes yellow Havannah, 100 tres
220 barrels Foreign Muscovado, and 55 hhds 2S barrels
Porto Rico were offered at public sale ; Havannah sold
at 23s 6d to 25s for middling and good, being rather
lower; the other sorts sold at easy rates. At public
sale 156 hhds 50 barrels St. Lucia were offered, which
went off heavily, and at a reduction of 6d to is per cwt on
Friday's rates ; fine yellow sold at 81a to 82e tid, good
79s 61 to 80s, mid and good mid 77s to 78s 6d, low yellow
76s 6d, good grey 75s to 763. The Gazette Average
Price is now 54s 91d, in 1839 it was 38s 3d, and in 1838

32s lid.
REFINED-During the last few days prices have given
way a little, Standard Lumps: selling at 95s to 95s 6d,
lots and good brown Lumps 903 to 945. Tittlers
and Hambro Loaves 97s to 102 s. Treacle sells freely,
common at 385 to 38s 6d ; Patent, 425, best old make at
43; to 445, golden Syrup, 449 6d to 455. Bastards on the de-
cline. Pieces„prerious rates have been generally maintained.

655, very ordinary dark 505 to 525, good middling and
good yellow 81s to 82s Gd, fine brown 71s.
EAST INDIA.-In Manilla no variation has taken place
in prices. Siam low and middling white 24s to 265, good
middling and good 26; 6d to 27s 6d, and fine 28a to 28s 6d.
Fur Java prices do not give way. White kinds of Bengal
stiff "slices offered, brown and yellow sorts have maintained
last Tuesday's rates.
FOREIGN.-For white sorts of Brazil, prices have been
supported ; low Pernams at 24s 6d ; brown, former rates
offered. Pert-tams middling and good brown and yellow
20; 6d to 265, and low soft to good strong white 23s 6d to
28s per cwt. Yellow 1-lavannah at rather lower rates, for.

to 25s 6d for low and good yellow, excepting one lot,
e hich fetched 25s per cwt. To-day standard lumps were
not to be purchased under 95s per cwt. Bonded crushed
Sugar and Loaves were in better request, the former at
Vs 91, and the latter 37; to 38s 6d for 10 to 14Ibs.
MOLASSES.-This afternoon 13 puns. St. Lucia, and 31
puns Foreign were submitted to public competition, the
former sold at 32s to 33; for good colour but thin quality ;
the latter taken in at 13s for mid quality.
COFFEE.-The market for British Plantation Coffee has
presented a firm appearance since Tuesday last for home
consumption, a good demand has prevailed for all clean
descriptions, and former rates have been fully maintained,
indeed on those terms importers for the most part arc not
disposed to realise, and have again supplied the market
sparingly, anticipating that a reaction will take place in
prices in the early part of the new year ; unclean descrip-
tions have attracted more attention, and the prices of last
Tuesday have been supported.
This afternoon for all clean kinds of both East and
West India there was a good demand for the home
trade. and prices were firm. The public sales consisted
of 257 beige 109 casks St. Jego de Cuba, 100 bags
damaged Java, 109 casks 20 barrels 99 bags British
Plantation, and 28 casks 37 bags of other kinds from
the Cape : St. Jago de Cuba sold briskly for home use at
stiff prices, viz good middling colory at 72s 6.1 to 74s 6d,
middling 67s 6d to 70s, low middling 62s 6d to 635, fine
crilinery 53; ed to 57a, good ordinary dingy 483 to 49; Gd,
damaged Java went at 47; 6d to 54; 6d, being the full
value ; B. P. was all unclean, and only partly soli at 70s
to 71s fur good ordinary Demerara and Berbice.
COCOA.-This afternoon the demand was good for
8.P., and 300 bags Granada at auction principally found
buyers at 493 6il to 51s for ordinary and fair red, being
the full value.
TEA.-The trade operated with caution in Tea during
the past week, and privately there was only a limited busi-
ness transacted in either black or green kinds of Free
Trade ; the chief holders however displayed firmnesss,
and would not reduce their pretensions, and some
kept their samples altogether from the market,
but those who were disposed to realise were
compelled to submit to rather lower rates, and at the pub-
lic sales on Friday a reduction was established on last
Tuesday's prices of id on Twankay, id on Congou, and
2d on Hyson-the biddings were languid, there being
only a small attendance of the trade ; 2,255
packages were offered, of which 1,580 were disposed
of at the following rates : - Hyson, middling str ra
burnt 2s 10iii to 2s 111 d, but mid coa burnt 2s 9d, ord 2s
51, but mid ra burnt Gunpowder flavour 3; 8d ; Congou,
but mid rather full Campoi kind 2s 3id, but mid rather flat
rather Hung Muey flavour 2s 4d, but mid rather strong
little burnt 2s 41d, but mid rather strong old Souchong
savour 2s .51 to 2s 51d; Twankay, but mid strong little
burnt 2s 21c1 to 2s 31d ; Imperial, pref to mid leaf as
6d to 3s 7d ; Gunpowder, mid strong 4s 9d to 4s 9id,
fine at 6s 6d ; Hyson Skin, mid fresh little burnt, 2s 5d
to 2; 51 ' • Orange Pekoe mid rather strong scented, 3s I d
to 3s lid per lb. The speculative market has exhi-
bit a tranquil appearance all the week, and Com..
pany's Congou has declined to 2s 3d cash ; yesterday buyers
were on the alert, and several contracts entered into, 2s Sid
to 2s 314 cash ; free trade was also in rather better request
at Friday's rates. The stock is on the decrease in the
kingdom, and the deliveries being pretty good, together
with the prospect of a long time elapsing before the diffe-
rences with the Chinese is settled, cause several holders to
be sanguine in their expectations. For auction on the 15th
6,000 packages are announced.
RUM. BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The Rum market
keeps quiet, and the demand has been limited for both
Jamaica and Leewards; the sales have not exceeded 260
puns West India. Jamaica and strong Leeward have
generally maintained former rates, but common kinds
must be quoted rather cheaper ; proof Leewards have
been disposed of at 2e 101c1 to 2s 100, 3 to 4 per cent
over proof 2s lid to 3s, 7 to 12 over 3s Id to 3s 2d,
13 to 15 over 3s 3d to 3s 4d, 25 over ss, very
fine 33 over 5s 8d; Jamaica, 30 per cent over 6s, 32
over 64 2d, 34 to 36 over 6s 8d to 6s 9d, fine and
very fine 7s to 7s 2d. In East India small sales
have been made at 2s 5d proofs ; at Bristol some parcels
have been sold for this market at 2s 4d to supply the Go-
vernment contract. The stock of West India is 2,291
puns and 539 hhds larger than last year at this time.
Brandy is held firmly, but the transactions have been
limited at the following rates, viz. Cognac first brands of
the vintage of 1836, 55 1 d to 5s 3d in puns and hhd s;
1837, do 4s lid to ss; 1838, do 4s 9d to 4; lid ; 1839,
do 4s 7d to 4s 9d per gallon: the stock is on the decrease.
Geneva has sold steadily for export at is lld to 2s. The
demand has beers limited for British Corn Spirits and lOs
is the quotation for cash.
Bieß.-For Bengal the demand is improving, and pri-
vately a fair business has been transacted awe

rates ; good and fine white sorts are much
13s to 14s, but of such the supply
tion, 1,151 bags went at 12s 6d for middlin.gwhite,above

this time it was 89,774 bags. The home and export deli-
