MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 24.)
SUGAR.-Our report of the proceedings in the raw
Sugar market is at length of a mure favourable
nature, the home trade having operated with more
freedom this week, whereas merchants are less dis-
posed to press sales, and a rise in the value of most
descriptions of Colonial has taken place. Slave labour
cannot be obtained at any further reduction, and the
supply is decreasing. There is, however, no improve-
ment observable in the demand from exporters. From
all quarters the arrivals have been trifling since we last
wrote. For West India the demand has been good, and
the rates obtained generally exhibit an advance on those
previously current of 6d per cwt. The purchases pri-
vately for the three market days amounted to 1,250 hhds
and tres.

REFINED.—There is yet a favourable opinion enter
tained towards Refined Sugar by the home trade ; the
supply is small, whilst the town and country demand has
been active all the week, and for every description. The
rates obtained are fully equal to those previously cur-
rent, and in some cases above. For Wet Lumps there
is an extensive demand, prices are firm at 51s to 51s 6d
for low and middling, and at 52s to 63s per cwt for good
and fine. The stock is small, but there is a large con-
sumption, which is likely to continue. Prices for re-
fined goods are expected to remain firm during the next
two or three weeks.

MAURITIIIS.—There has been more activity in the
market this week, whilst holders are firmer and offer a
less quantity for sale. There are, however, further ar•
rivals of the new crop. All qualities have been in good
request for grocery and refining purposes, and the par-
cels disposed of privately were at prices showing an ad-
vance on those previously current of 6d per cwt. At
auction 2,687 bags and 6 casks of the new crop were
disposed of.

EAST INDIA.—For Penang the demand is brisker, and
the rates obtained are rather above those previously
current, they are, however, yet under the cost of im-
portation. At auction 560 baskets, 252 bags and 19
cases were sold. Siam is more in favour, and a public
sale of 4,432 bags went off with fair spirit, and
in most cases 6d per cwt above former rates. In the
market for Bengal there has been more activity, whilst
the supply is not so plentiful. At auction 685 bags of
grainy were sold at stiffer rates. By private treaty
several parcels have been taken, and stiffer rates are
paid. There has been no public sale of Madras.
FOREIGN.-Holders have shown firmness this week,
and refrained from aubmittinag any to public sale,
whereas privately the quantity on offer is less than of
Late of all kinds. We hare no improvement to notice not-
withstanding the low rates current. The sales concluded
privately have been trifling by exporters, and are con-
fined principally to 100 chests of low and mid brown
Bahia at 15s 6d to 17s per cwt, which are previous quo-
tations. From ;he home trade and our refiners working
under bond, the demand has been limited, but they can-
not make purchases under previous rates.
COFFgE.—Although West India can be obtained at a
further reduction in the value, still all kinds have been
dealt in with reluctance by the town and country trade.
None has been submitted to public competition, but pri-
vately there is a fair quantity on offer,
consisting chiefly of the inferior and mixed kinds.
Merchants are willing sellers, as the consump-
tion continues to progress unfavourably, and is
4,000 cwt less than last season, whereas the stoek
is nearly 3,000 larger, and the increase of the imports
tion over that of the past year is 2,900 cwt. All sorts
of East India can be obtained upon lower terms, although
the market has been moderately supplied all the week,
but on the part of exporters or the home trade little dis-
position was manifested to make purchases. The
sales concluded privately in Native Ceylon
have bees limited. At auction 684 bags
were disposed of. Plantation is offered rather
under previous quotations, yet all kinds have been dealt
in with caution by private treaty, and 798 bags 10 casks
at public sale were only in part sold. The market is
quiet for Mocha, prices tend downward. At auction 98
bags from the Mauritius were sold. Of Foreign Coffee
none has been submitted to private sale, and privately the
dealings have been of a limited nature, although sellers
are willing to make a slight concession in the value.
Cocoa.—There is more firmness on the part of holders
of West India, and the supply is on the decrease. A fair
demand exists for all sorts, grey at 38s to 435, and red
40s to 49s per cwt. The market is in a dull state for
Foreign, and 35s to 373-is the value of red Bahia.
TEA.—We have at length to notice an improvement
in the position of the market for Congou, and the rates
paid are -1-cl to id per lb above those previously current.
Purchases to a fair extent have been made in all sorts.
Pouchong is dull of sale at 3d to 8d for low to good
quality, but in Souchong the operations are upon a more
extended scale, at previous quotations. The quantity
of Black on offer is not so large as of late. Prices cannot
be quoted higher for Green, but on the part of holders
there is more firmness, whereas the demand is brisker,
and the supply is not so large as of late ; upon the fol-
lowing terms several parcels have been sold, consisting
chiefly of the better kinds. In Scented Teas the opera-
tions have been of a limited nature, and prices keep low.
SPIRITS.—With Jamaica Rum the market is plenti-
fully
supplied, and there are sellers upon rather lower
terms, still the purchases made by exporters and the
home trade have been trifling in all sorts, We quote
28 to 38 per cent over proof, of middling and plain
quality at 3s 4d to 3s Bd, good 3s 9d to 4s, fine 4s 2d to
4s 6d. For Leeward Island rather lower prices having
been taken, induced buyers to operate with more
freedom, and the sales amount to 300 puns at Is bid to
Is 7d proof, but chiefly at the latter rate. East India is
not cheaper, but the demand is limited, and the sales
are only 200 puns, at Is 6d to is 7d, a small parcel
of Penang at is sd, and limited parcels of Mauri-
tius at Is sid proof strength. The purchases made
in Demerara have been trifling, and there are
willing sellers at 2s 8d to 3s 2d for 28 to 36 per cent
over proof. Jamaica Rum is higher in price than any
other description. For Brandy the market has a firm
appearance, previous rates are well sustained, whilst
the demand has been good, and the deliveries still
exceed the arrivals. Prices are ;fully as high as on
Friday last.

SPICES.—There is yet much inclination manifested by
importers of Pimento to sell, and they submitted to a
reduction on previous rates of lid per lb. Privately the
sales made have been to a small extent only, but at
extent only, but at auction 229 bags were sold. Al-
though holders of Nutmegs are willing to accept previous
rates, yet the rates concluded by private treaty have
been of a limited nature by exporters and the home
trade. At public sale 14 cases and 2 bags were sold"
Mace sells slowly upon previous reduced terms. At
auction 5 cases were disposed of at 9s 4d to 2s 5d for
for middling, and at 2s 2d to 2s 4d for low middling.
The sales made in Cloves have been of a trifling nature,
and holders are inclined to sell. On the part of holders
of Black Pepper there is firmness, and they eupplythe
market sparingly, all descriptions sought by shippers, and
the home trade, whilst previous rates are obtained for
the parcels sold by private treaty. In Ginger the sales
are small by exporters as well as home consumers.
Cassia Lignea is not much wanted, and the supply is

are 1,700 greater; the arrivals do not ebtrie u
of that time, whereas all sorts are lower in vSne. tIV:Z.
Spanish previous rates are well sustained; the supply i.,
small, and a fair demand prevails.

RICE.—To-day East India Rice was more in demand,
and there were not sellers generally at former rates.
COCHINEAL—Previous improved rates are well sus-
tained for all sorts, although the market has been well
supplied during the week, but the demand is not yet
active. The parcels offered at auction were all
disposed of.
Ls.—The market is still improving for all common
Fish Oils, and the supply is less plentiful. None has
been submitted to public sale this week, whereas the
arrivals are of little moment. In Seal a good business
has been concluded, chiefly by the home trade ; prices
continue on the advance. In Cod several purchases have
been made at 251 to 251 10s, and some parties will not
sell upon these terms. Southern of all sorts is more re-
quired; the supply is scanty, and prices have advanced.
For Sperm there is few buyers, and holders are still
willing sellers as the stock is large, and 791 to 18/ is the
value of good and fine quality. Linseed Oil is cheaper,
and the home demand has been good. For forward de-
livery a fair extent of business has been concluded at
23s 9d to 245. Rapeseed is more required, and in con-
sequence of the smallness of the stock buyers ;are com-
pelled to pay 38s 6d to 39a for pale, and 37s 6d to 38s
for brown. Olive does not improve in value, although
several parcels have been sold. Palm met with little
attention.
TaLLow.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow
went off quietly at rather lower rates ; 2,446 packages
of South American were sold at 39s 3d to 40s 3d ; 28
casks of East India 43s to 47s 3d, 351 casks of New
South Wales 40s to 46s ; 112 casks of Odessa 44s 3d to
44s 9d, and 50 casks of Petersburgh Soap Tallow taken
in at 43s per cwt.
