CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

The rumour generally circulated concerning a
great company is now stated upon authority to be
entirely devoid of truth. On the contrary, the com-
pany is said to have an unusually large cash balance
in hand ; while, as respects the Bank of England, it
is said to be the larger firms only which have been
refused advances on stock.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE
(From the London New Price Current of Oct.

SUGAR.—To-day there was a decrease in the demand
for all kinds of Raw Sugar, both for home con-
sumption and export, although there was a desire on the
part of merchants to further reduce their prices. The
amcunt of business transacted in West India Muscovado
for all purposese was small, and the private sales did not
exceed 200 hhds and tres, at easier rates. At public
sale 93 hhds 13 trcs 15 brls Barbadoes were all taken in
at easier rates.

REFINED.—To day itsfined goods were operated in
with caution, although there were sellers of brown
grocery Lumps at 53s Gd to 54, and of Standard Lumps
at 54s 6d, In Bonded Crushed Sugars further fall took
place, but 29s to 30s having been accepted for first sort,
occasioned a good deal to be done.
MAunitts—This afternoon there was rnly a limited
demand for Mauritius, and a public sale of 7,725 bags
28 casks went at a further fall in prices of Gd to Is per
cwt, but chief part sold.

EAST INDLL—The white and strong yellow sorts of
Bengal have sibtained the former currency, and met
with a good demand; but for soft yellow and brown
qualities the market has a dull appearance, and there
are sellers upon rather lower termi. The parcels offered
at auction were nearly all sold, and amounted to 3,620
bags. Madras has been operated in with caution by the
home trade, although there are sellers even upon rather
Icwer terms; but common qualities continue in request
for exportation.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Fo-
reign Sugar, and privately there was little desire shown
to do business.

COFFEE.—This afternoon at public sale 303 bags of
Ceylon Coffee were offered, and sold at 51s for low
middling coloury, which is the full value. Privately
Native was only in limited request at 34s 6d to 355. for
good ordinary, and which are lower rates.
TEA.—For public sale on Tuesday 5,000 pkgs are de-
clared. The market for all sorts of black Tea has been
quiet this week, and rather lower rates have been taken.
The purchases made in Green have been of little mo-
ment in any kind, and holders are willing sellers. Pekoe
Tea has been sparingly dealt in, moderate as prices are.
Orange Pekoe is only worth 3d to is 4d, and better sort
Is 6d to is 10d ; Pekoe, black leaf is to is 10d, flowery
Is 6d to 4s.

SPICES.—This afternoon Nutmegs met with attention,
and 27 cases of Penang at public sale sold at stiffer rates
—fine brown went at 4s ld to 48 4d, good middling as
2d to 3s 3d, middling 28 10d to 3a ld, cadinttry 2 6d to
