MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of November 6.)
SUGAR. —The market for West India Muscovadoes
Sugar has presented a tranquil appearance all the week,
the grocers have bought with caution, and only sufficient
for their immediate wants, for refining purposes the demand
has been very limited, the private sales for the three market
days have amounted to only 1,050 hhds and tres—good
and fine yellow descriptions have brought former rates, the
supply being small, but for other qualities a reduction of Gd
per cwt has been submitted to ; for low brown Berbice for
which about three weeks ago 78s was refused, 76s is now
only offered ; Demerara of low middling very soft quality
has been sold at 795, middling yellow from the same co-
lony and Dominica 81s to 82s. Jamaica strong grey Bls
do and Antigua 83s to 84s 6d, good and
6d, good midoLng

but they went off beavi:7, fine
84s yellow fetched
and gt;f,Kl to 85s per
85s 6d to 86s, middling
cwt. Some holders are still sanguine in ;heir expectations
and keep their samples out of ti. 3 market, antinating that
the trade ere long must be compelled to purchase more
freely, they being scantily supplied in both town and coll.:-
try. The arrivals since last Friday have been only .550
hhds, &c. The Gazette average price is 57s 7d, in 1839
it was 37s ld, and in 1838 31s 7d per cwt. The stock is
now 24,646 hhds and tres less than last season at this time :
the importation this year has not been equal to :hat of 1839
by 25,170 labds, and 2,210 tres. The deliveries have been
800 hhds, &c., larger than last year.
To-day the operations were on a small scale, both
grocers and refiners purchasing with much caution, and
only 200 hhds and tres were disposed of, at prices in favour
of buyers. The sales for the week arc 1,350 hhds, &c.,
and the reduction Is per cwt., excepting for fine yellow
kinds, which have supported former rates within 6d, few
samples being in the market. For auction on Tuesday
100 hhds Barbadoes are declared.

little desire to do business, and the demand has been
limited for all sorts. Standard Lumps 1003 6d to 101 s,
low brown Lumps 91s to 965, good and fine 97s to 100 s;

COFFEE —The arrivals of Coffee from the Cape having
been large since our last report, and the principal part
being well adapted for home consumption, consisting of
Java, Cuba, St, Domingo, and Porto Rico, have caused
the trade to operate with caution in British Plantation : for
mid clean kinds the demand has been very limited, and
the principal part offered consisting of those sorts, holders
have heen compelled to submit to a reduction on former
rates of 2s a 3s to dispose of even small quantities.

Coffee market were confined to public sales, consisting of
558 bags Ceylon, 134 casks 168 bags 2 barrels British
