MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London 147ew Price Current of June 18.)
SUGAR.—To-day an:; further advance in the value was
prevented by the market beieg more freely supplied ;
still there was no material diminution in the home or
export demand, for nearly the whole brought forward
was actually disposed of. The rates obtained for West
India Muscovado were equal to those of yesterday, and
at which a fair business was transacted in all sorts ; the
private purchases reaching 250 hhds and tierces. At
public sale 115 hhds and tierces were sold at the former I
value.

REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were extensively
dealt in by the home trade, and an improvement in the
value took place for all kinds. Bonded Crushed Sugar
is held for 333 to 33s 6d for fine quality. In Bastards
and Pieces large sales have been made by exporters at
22s to 30s per cwt.
Mauerrics —This afternoon the demand was good
for Mauritius Sugar, and 9,060 bags 33 casks at public
Ble were nearly all sold at former improved rates, or at
a rise from the late lowest points of the market of Is.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in
fair demand, and 1,241 bags at public sale were sold at
previous improved rates.
Molasses.—This afternoon at public sale 12 puns
Montserrat Molasses were sold at 17s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon, at public sale, 26 casks,
127 barrels, St. Marlin's Sugar, were sold at the full
worth; middling ye low at 49s 6d to 435, and low mid-
dling 41s 6d to 421 per cwt.
Coereu..—Tnis afternoon Coffee was in good demand
fo.• home consumption, and the rates obstained were
rather above those that existed previously. For expor-
tation there was rather more &mend for Coffee privately,
at the previous currency; at public sale 151 bags Batavia
were sold, Ordinary mixed yellow at 26s 6d to 275, fair
ordinary 27s to 27s 6d, and damaged 135 to 27s per cwt.
COCOA.—Holders of West India have shown more
firmness this week, and have refrained from offering any
at public sale; privately little desire has been shown to
operate in the low and middling kinds, and there are
sellers at former rates, but a good demand has been ex-
rrieneed for the better sorts, and full rates are paid.
Foreign is little wanted, and the tendency of prices is
downwards.
TEA.—lmporters have refrained from offering any
at public sale this week, but there are further arrivals,
and privately there is a plentiful supply. In the demand
no improvement has taken place. Congou can easily be
obtained privately upon previous low terms, still the pur-
chases Made have been of little moment. The market
for Green is in an inactive state, and the tendency of
pricer, is yet downwards. Scented Teas have been
OPe'iated in with caution, and lower rates are accepted.
-FRUIT.—Of Currants there are several arrivals this
week, but there is still the same indisposition to pur-
chase, as the stock on hand of all description of Fruit is
very large, and the demand generally continues very
limited ; the quotations at present must be considered
nominal.
&co.—There are sellers at a further reduction in
prices, still the contracts entered into have been of little
moment by private treaty. Sago Flour is little wanted,
and ca'a be obtained at 26s to 275. Of Bermuda Arrow-
root '2O pkgs at auction were sold at lld per lb.
SPICES.—To-day Black Pepper was not much in
demand, and 1,574 bags at public sale were nearly all
taken in at the full worth, good brown light Batavia but
dusty at 2id; a few lots of light Sumatra sold at 21d to
2fel per lb.
RICE.—To-day there was little desire evinced to
operate in East India Rice, and of 6,748 bags Java
offered at auction a small part only found buyers 6d per
cwt under the valuations. 961 pockets 791 bags Bengal
sold 6d per cwt cheapery and went at 19s to 19s 6d for
good middling white, ITS 6d for good yellow, and at 8s
to 19s 6d for damaged.
CoCnINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal mat with
ready buyers; et public sale 26 bags Honduras silvers
were sold at 5s 2d to Ss 9d, which is 2d higher.
SrPIRITS.—East India is little wanted, and to-day
fernier
e were seller; at 2s 9d to 2s 10d, being rather under
bn eeremer rates. For Demerara rather lower prices having
accepted, occasioned the demand to be good, and
the sales reached 330 puns. Jamaica has been
operated
in with caution by exporters and the home trade, whilst
holders are more inclined to sell, and the limited busi-
ness transacted has been at rather I errearres.lleßr randy

for the demand. At public sale 1,240
