MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of June 25.)

SUGAR.—The British Plantation Sugar market pre
sented a dull appearance on Tuesday, and althoug'i the
merchants submitted to a reduction on former rates of Is,
and in some instances of is 6d per cwt, still the trade
were cautious in their operations ; the private purchases
amounted to only 130 hhds and trs, and the public sales
went off heavily at the decline above noticed ; 270 hhds
New Barbadoes were' offered, three parts found buyers,
low yellow at 595 to 60s 6d, middling and good mid-
dling 61s to 63s 6d, good 54s to 635, fine 65s 6d to
66s 6d, and one lot very fine 68s Gd ; 46 hhds 48 tierces
39 barrels new St. Lucia were sold—low middling brown
at 55s 6d, low and middling greyish yellow 56s 6d to
58s, good middling to good 59s 6d to 63s per cwt ;
during the last two - days, however, the market has
presented a more lively appearance. From the Re-
finers there has been a good demand ; strong grey and
bright yellow sorts have been the most in request, and
even the -prices paid for the former are nearly equal to
those of last Friday : Trinidad, middling grey have been
sold at 60s ; Jamaica do Gls ; Antigua, middling and
good middling yellow 62s to 63, and fine middling with
very good complexion 64s to 65s ; the highest point of
the market is 69s per cwt.
To-day there was less activity in the market, there
having been further arrivals caused the trade to be cau-
tious in their operations, still for strong grey and coloury
sorts a fair demand existed, and th rates of yester-
day were sustained, but brown and low yellow
sorts attracted little attention, the prices, however,
are unaltered. The total sales for the week are
1,800 hhds and tierces. For public sale on Tuesday
100 hhds Barbadoes are declared. The prices paid
towards the close of the market were not more than is
under those of this day week.
REFINED.—From the home trade there has been an
excellent demand for Refined Goods, and the supply
being small, buyers have been compelled to pay rather
higher rates for the better sorts ; common brown Lumps
at 925, good and fine 93s to 94s ; Standard Lumps 94s
Gd ; Hamburgh Loaves and 'Milers common 94s to 965,
good and fine 97s to 105 s. For delivery in three
and four weeks several large contracts for Standard
Lumps at 94s to 94s Gd per cwt. Bastards common and
middling at 47s to 535, good and fine 54s to 59s per cwt.
Pieces ordinary at 60s to 625, middling, 63s to Gss, good
and fine 66s to 75s per cwt. Treacle has met with a
free sale, common at 25s 6d to 26s ; Patent 27s
to 29s ; Golden syrup 30s to 325, and best old make
33s per cwt. ; Bonded Crushed Sugar, firmer,
for delivery at 30s 6d for first quality, and on the spot
30s 9d. Loaves, 10Ibs, are 34s to 355, and 141bs 32s 6d
to 33s per cwt. Treacle has been in fair demand at 14s
3d ; there are buyers for delivery at 14s per cwt. Pieces
and Bastards 14s 6d to 21s Gd. Of Dutch Crushed Sugar
600 tons have been sold on board at Amsterdam at 28s
3d per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This description has attracted more at-
tention, holders have displayed more firmness, and the
parcels that were declared for public competition have
been withdrawn; by private contract there has been a
good demand from both Grocers and Refiners, and dur-
ing the last few days several large parcels have been dis-
posed of at full last Friday's prices ; yellow and strong
grey descriptions, however, have been the most in request.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Java met with more
attention from both shippers and refiners, and some
parcels were sold at full rates, making the sales
for the week 650 baskets at 19s 6d to 21s for
yellow and low grey. The public sales consisted
of 469 bags Bengal, and 3,706 bags Manilla,
the former sold at prices equal to those which have been
paid by private contract ; low dingy white went at 60s
to 61s, good middling white 63s Gd, damps Lnd washed
60s to 62s 6d, low dingy sound yellow 57s per cwt. Of
the latter a small part only found, purchasers, but full
rates were paid ; middling dry greyish went at 19s, low
greyish yellow 18s to 18s 6d, washed 16s 6d to 18s 6d
per cwt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon all strong descriptions of
both Havannah and Brazil were sought after, and the
prices paid were in some cases rather above those pre-
viously quoted ; 70 chests brown Bahia were sold pri-
vately at 18s Gd, and 100 chests middling yellow Ha-
vannah at 21s per cwt ; for soft kinds however there are
few buyers.
MOLASSES.—West India of common quality have been
taken sparingly, but there are not sellers under 245, good

at 27s to 29s ' • at auction 50 puns fair Demerara sold at
265, 25 puns New St. Lucia of ordinary quality were
taken in at 235, and 5 casks Dominica Cane Juice at 345;

West India, and 121 bags Trinidad at public sale sold at
full rates ; ord to good red went at 42s to 48s, fair grey
42s per cwt.

COFFEE.—Holders of British Plantation have displayed
firmness this week, and have supplied the market spar-
ingly : middling and good colory, clean descriptions,
have been in good demand, and the prices paid have been
fully equal to those of this day week, indeed the
supply has not been adequate to the wants of
the trade : for ordinary to low middling sorts
however the market has been quiet, and privately few
purchases have been made,: but previous
,rates, have
been sustained.
This afternoon prices were firm for all sorts of East
and West India Coffee, but there was only a limited de-
mand privately, and the public sales were of little mo-
ment ; at auction 957 bags East India at the 9d duty
and 40 casks Berbice were offered, the former nearly all
taken in, good sorts at full rates, viz., good and fine
greenish Java at 61s 6d to 655, bulked 58s, good brownish
sold at 60s. Sumatra, however, went 2s lower, ordinary
selling at 28s to 30s. Berbice good colory mid but un-
clean taken in at 100 s being the full value, a small part
sold at 70s for fine ordinary.'

extent have been made, and the prices paid are rather
above those of 'I uesday's sale, common Free
