MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London Mercantile Journal of June 1.)

SUGAR. The home consumption Sugar Market
generally has remained in a depressed state, very great
reluctance still being manifested by both the grocers
and refiners to lay in stock, while the importers, par-
ticularly of Mauritius and Bengal, are yet very desirous
of realising, and continue to press large parcels by
public auction. Under present circumstances we do
not see any chance of improvement. The sales of West
India Muscovado Sugar have been confined to the actual
wants of the buyers, for which the importers have ac-
cepted a further reduction of is to is Gd per cwt in all
cases. The market closed very heavily on Friday, and
the sales of the week are estimated at 900 hhds and
tierces only.
The home market being closed for the Whitson holi-
days, we had no transactions to-day in West India, Ben-
gal, or Mauritius. Business, however, will be resumed
to-morrow.
MAURITIUS.—The demand for this description con-
tinues dull unless at further reduced prices, and 5,633
bags 76 cks brought to public auction on Friday, went
quietly, and established a further reduction of is to. Is
6d per cwt ; low to good yellow at 59s to 645, and brown
at 48s Gd to 58s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—There is yet little demand for Foreign
Sugar, and the Market is in a very dull state. 100 chests
brown Bahia were offered at public sale, and sold ; good
strong grey at 19s to 20s, and good strong brown at
lis 6d to 18s 6d per cwt, which prices are about ls below
previous rates.
EAST INDl.A.—Bengal wears a very dull appearance,
with a foram' reduction of Is Gd to 2s per cwt. Prices
ranged as follows low brown 50s to 51s, IoW and mid-
dling greyish yellow 55s to 58s, good yellow 61s, low
and middling 6 white Gls Gd to 635, and good and fine
white 64s to 67s 6d per cwt.

WEST INDIA MOLASO
continues very limited, and prie,
ward tendency, • though the holders
bring their stocks forward at present. Privately'
two small lots only have changed hands, and are un-
worthy of notice.
COFFEE.—The market was dull to-day, and holders
seem. more disposed to sell. The public sales consisted
of 1,114 bags Ceylon, 239 bales Mocha, 30 casks Ja-
maica, and 264 bags Samarang. The Ceylon sold at
67s 6d to 693 for good ordinary pale to fine ordinary
colory, being about 9s- under former rates. The
Mocha all sold at 105 s to 105 s 6d for good ordinary
greenish, being the full value. The Jamaica fetched
11 ls to 114 s 6d for middling which are steady rates.
The Samarang was taken in it't 38s for good ordinary.
By private treaty there was little busineSs done.
COCOA.—There are still few buyers of West India de-
scription, even though the merchants are disposed to.
meet them upon easier terms, and with the exception of
one or two lots, the entire parcel of 376 bags Trinidad
offered at public sale were bought in, very dark and
rough red at 44s to 45s,and good ordinary grey at 42s to
43s per cwt.
TEA.—This morning several public sales were brought
forward, comprising 9,500 -pkgs, which attracted a full

room, and there was a fair disposition shown to purchase
even at stiff prices, but sales were checked by the un-
willingness of the merchants to realize ; they bought in
and summarily withdrew a large proportion above the
value, conisting principally of fine Congou at 2s 9d.
The prices actually obtained were :—Congou ord.
htd and low is 60 to is 64d, !Mt mid ra str and old
Is 9d to is lid, but mid and mid full old Souchong

Company's Congou, which opened at is 80d per lb.
cash, advanced almost immediately after the receipt of
the above intelligence to is 100 to is lid per lb., and
some rather large yurchases were made by speculators.
The market closed quietly, but firm at is 110 per lb.
cash.
There was some .doubt in Mincing-lane as to the
authenticity of the intelligence from China ; we however
heard from undoubted authority that Government re-
ceived intelligence at a late hour last night.
CASSIA LIGNEA. —2OO chests were brought to the
hammer, and disposed of at 94s to 96s for good middling
quality, being rather higher.
PEPPER. —At public sale 3052 bags black were
offered, and sold, but .at 0 per lb decline on previous
rates,. viz. common to good at 30 to 40 per lb. Of
578 bap white put up to the hammer ; the first pile
consisting of fine quality was withdrawn ; the remain-
der was very low quality, and sold at 6d to 60 per lb.
NUTMEGS. —l7 chests brown Sincapore sold by auction
at 4s 8d to 5s I Id-for first and second quality. atias
GLACE.-6 chests sold by the hammer at 4s 8d to 5s ld
per lb.
CLOVES.-41 chests good bright Penang sold by auction
at is 10d to 2s per lb.
RICE.—Good white sorts of Bengal Rice bring pre-
vious rates on account of their scarcity and are enquired
after, while the lower qualities are still dull and have
again given way in price—the public sales have coin-
prized 5066 bags (chiefly inferior), which went off
quietly, but gobd bold white fetched 13s and 13s 6d ;
a parcel of good middling white was bought in at 12s 6d;
low dusty white sold at 8s 6d to 9s, middling bold yellow
rather dusty white at 10s to lOs 6d, two lots atlls, and

good middling white at Ils Gd to 12s per cwt.
SPIRITS.—The Rum market remains in a very dull
state, and prices of West India are inclined to be lower,
though at present the holders are not anxious sellers,
and very little has been done ; a few lots
,of fine Jainaica
have been sold for home use at the extreme prices
quoted, but. Leewards are not enquired for. East India
Bum is also taken in very limited quantities by the
shippers, and Is 4d haS been accepted fir proof Bengal.
Brandy and Geneva without alteration in price, and
littte doing.
OlLS.—There has been an improved demand this
week for all common Fish Oils, and prices have
advanced 20s to 30s per tun in nearly every instance,
with a more buoyant and healthy market. Cod Oil
at 281 to 281 10s, and there are now few sellers under 291
per tun. Pale Seal on the spot has fetched 321, and for
arrival 30/ to 30/ 10s. Southern Oil, Ist and 2nd quality,
at 281 to 29/. For Sperm Oil the market is steady ;
British catch of fine quality 94/ to 95l per tun. Although
the demand for Linseed Oil has not been lively, there is
little change to notice in its value. Rape Oil, pale,
44s Gd to 455. per cwt. Palm at 35s for fine quality.
Cocoa, Nut Oil 38s. Olive Oil is declining.
TALLOW.—The market has continued very quiet
throughout the week for Russian, With a decidedly down-
ward tendency ; St. Petersburgh yellow candle Tallow has
declined to 46s Gd on the spot. New Tallow is not much
inquired after, and little business has been done ; the price
asked for delivery in the last three months is 47s 3d per cwt.
South American continues in demand both by the
soap makers and chandlers, and a fair business is doing
at relatively low rates.
To-day the market continues flat, and fine P.Y.C. on
the spot can be purchased at 46s 3d per cwt.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
( FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
(From the Southern Reporter.)
REPRESENTATION OF KER nv.--Ireland carried the Eman-
cipation Act ; the Irish Members carried the Reform Bill, and
this country will again do good service in the cause of pubic
freedom. There was, a little time since, a good deal of de-
svondency as to ;he probable results of a general election in
England, and it was taken as undeniable that several seats
would be lost in Ireland. As for England there need be no
apprehension any longer ; the gain to Ministers will be beyond
the highest expectations, and in Ireland, in place of losing, we
shall gain largely. In our last we had the pleasure of an-
nouncing that the electors of Kinsale had resolved to be no
longer disgraced by a Tory Representative, and we are no,v
enabled to state that a few days will terminate Mr. Meitner-
hassett's connection with Kerry. We are authorized to state
that the Hon. William Browne, brother of the Earl of Ken-
mare, intends to effer himself for the represontation of Kerry at
the approaching election. This is in every way most gra,ify-
mg. The active accession of the Earl of Kenmare to the po-
pular interest at this moment is of great importance, and as to
the Hon. Mr. Browne himself, we believe that a better or more
honest patriot never entered the House of Commons.
(From the Ipswich Express.)
REPRESENTATION OF IPSWICH.—We have just heard that
Mr. Montague Gore, one of the Tory nominees for the repre •
sentation of this borough, has very honestly declined to
" stand." It cannot be said that he has withdrawn his pre-
tensions, because the only pretension required of him was a
well-filled purse, and that the Tories themselves have found
out, and candidly admit he was not encumbered with. Pro-
bably, when he was solicited to bid for their votes, the extent
of the " liability" was not accurately represented to him ;
however that. may be, it is very certain that his eyes have b •in
opened by what ale. Grattan said in the House of Commons
on Friday night, in reference to our exposure of the affair of
Sir Thomas Cochrane ; and not feeling disposed to require a
" guarantee," which lie very naturally inferred would be dis-
honoured, he has very prudently declined to embarrass him-
self. This retirement of Mr. Gore, coupled with the notori-
ously shameful treatment of Sir Thomas, places the Tories in
a very awkward predicament to find another candidate, for it. is
a matter of question whether• any man, however desirous of
sitting in Parliament for Ipswich, would come forward with his
eyes open to the certainty of being " fleeced."
(From the Tyne Mercury.)
THE REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF DURHAM.—
_ . . . .

Lord Dungannon and Mr. Harland have both intimated their
intention of retiring from the representation of the City of
Durham in Parliament. A Mr. Sheppard, and a Captain
Fitzroy, both decided Tories, and ➢lr. T. C. Granger, a bar-
rister, of Radical principles, have offered themselves as candi-
dates. Mr. Granger has before contested Durham, and we hope
will this time be successful. We should be glad to ace tv'o
Liberals returned for this city, but we rather wish than ex
pect it.

(From the Aberdeen Herald.)
REPRESENTATION OF ABERDEEN.—An idle story was re-
cently put into circulation, and even printed, to the effect that
our worthy City Member, iu consequence of being appointed
to a situation in connexion with the revenue department, t, as
about to retire from the House of Commons, and tint his
constituents, of course, would have to seek out a new Repre-
sentative. So satisfied were torae of our quidnuncs of the
truth of the statement, that they would Rot listen patiently to
any one who ventured to hold a different opinion. It turns
out, however, that the rumour was either utterly groundles,,,
or ridiculously premature. There is no vacancy in the d part.
ment referred to, and it is not at all likely, even if the Whigs
were f filling to make a new place for Mr. Bannerman, that ti.e
Tories, in the present state of parties, would allow, them to
do so.

Should Mr. Bannerman have any intention of retiring from
the representation of the City, he will, no doubt, give lis
friend- due notice. They wil!, at least, know the fact as SO ,l 1
as the Tories, which would not have been the case, if this last
rumour had turned out to be correct.

The Tories, it is said, are making preparations for a contest.
They may save themselves the trouble, and their candidate
tl.e expense. If Mr. Bannerman come forward, and take care
not to inveigle himself with any fanatical party, he is sure to
be elected ; and should he not come forward, the Liberal,: will
start a gentleman who will ur.ite the suffrages of all honest
Reformers.
