MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 1.)
Suueu.—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
amount of business transacted in West India Muscovado
for all purposese was small, and the private sales did not
exceed 200 hhds and trcs, at easier rates. At public
sale 93 hhds 13 trcs 15 brls Barbadoes were all taken in
at easier rates.

REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were operated in
with caution, although there were sellers of brown
grocery Lumps at 53: 6d to 545, and of Standard Lumps
at 54s 6d. In Bonded Crushed Sugars a further fall took
place, but 29s to 30s having been accepted for first sort,
occasioned a good deal to be done.

MAIIRITTUi—This afternoon there was only a limited
demand for Mauritius, and a public sale of 7,725 bags
28 casks went at a further fall in prices of 6d to is per
cwt, but chief part sold.
EAST INDIA.—The white and strong yellow sorts of
Bengal have sustained 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 terms. 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
lower 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 308 bags of
Ceylon Coffee were offered, and sold at 51s for low
middling coloury, which is the full value. Privately

quiet this week, and rather lower rates have been taken.
