MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New -Price Current of Nov. 16.)
Su-GAIL—To-day there was a considerable falling off
in the home demand for Raw Sugar, and on the part of
exportersless desire was manifested to operate. Although
there was but a moderate supply, yet holders were com-
pelled to take rather lower rates. The demand was very
limited for West India of all kinds, and the
prices accepted are 6d under those of Friday.
The total purchases amounted to 160 hbds and tierces,
including a public sale of 125 hhds of Barbadoes, which
went off quietly at steady prices; fine yellow at 44s to
45s 6d, good 42s to 43s 6d, and middling 39s to 41s Gd
per cwt. The market closes with an unfavourable ap-
pearance for Sugar of all kinds.
REPINED.—To-day the home trade purchased Refined
goods with less freedom, and prices have assumed a
downward tendency, Lumps to pass the standard being
obtainable at 54s to 54s 6d, and brown grocery at 53s
per cwt. For Bonded Crushed Sugar the demand is
active, and first quality is not to be obtained under
30s Gd per cwt.
MAURITII7B.—This afternoon there was less demand
for all purposes : at auction 2,501 bags were offered, the
chief part consisted of brown and common yellow kinds;
the sale went off flatly, and the rates taken were rather
under those that existed previously. Privately there
was little passing in any kind.
EAST LNDIA.—This afternoon two parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 2,847 bags, were offered at auction;
there was less demand, a small part only sold at rather
lower rates, low and mid white Benares went at 41s 6d
to 42a Gcl, fine soft yellow 40s to 41s, middling 34s to
365, low 31a to 325, good and fine brown 30s to 31s,
low strong yellow 33s to 34s ; the chief part was taken
in at 43s to 4Gs 6d for midding and good sound white
Benares.

---- --_
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of any
kind of Foreign Sugar, and privately little desire was
evinced by exporters or the home trade to purchase;
holders were, however, for the most part not disposed to
submit to lower rates.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was less
in request, and 12 casks 467 bags at auction were taken
in above the value. Native met with little attention,
still good ordinary was not to be obtained under 335.
Mocha is not much wanted, and 200 bales 400 half-bales
were taken in ; good greenish 56s to 575, ordinary 40s
to 455, good yellow long berry 80s, and triage 30a to 355.
Of Costa Rica 2,305 bags were all sold, and at a rise on
former rates of Is to 2s per cwt.
TEA.—The arrivals have been upon a large scale since
this day week, and amounted to 38,000 pkgs. During
that time duty was paid upon 490,568 lbs. There is a
large quantity of all kinds of tea an offer by private
is
treaty, and public sales are declared to take place on
Thur,:day. At presen the quantity declared 7,000
pkgs. On the part of holders there is much desire shown
to realise, and a further reduction in the value took place.
The low rates that prevail for all kinds of Congou, how-
ever, tempted the town and country trade to operate w ith
more freedom, and bbey have taken several parcels upon
the following terms:—Low quality 7P, good common

Per gallon has taken place; the purchases however, have

been upon a larger scale both for home consumption and".
exportation. There is a desire on the part of the home
trade generally to get into stock, as prices are moderate.
.
Brandy is not offered at any further reduction thu
value, but there is yet little desire on the part of shippels
or the home trade to do business, the supply is plentiful..
and consists chiefly of old landed sorts. The market
for Geneva has a firm appearance; the supply is small.,
whilst there is a good demand. British Corn Spirits
fully supported previous quotations; the demand being
active. To-day the market for all kinds of Rum was irk
a dull state; East India was to be obtained at is 6d.
proof, and Leeward Island at Is 8d per gallon.
COCHINEAL—Previous rates are sustained for alt
descriptions, but the demand has not been so good.
and privately the amount of business concluded has.
been of little moment. At auction 39 bags of Tloiiduras
were sold, middling and good bold silvers at 4s 3d to
4s 7d; 32 bags of Mexican, black ordinary 5s Id to
5s 3d, but silvers were taken in at 4s 6d, being above the
value.

INDIGO.—The market is firm, and a fair home as welt
as export demand exists for all sorts. This afternoon, at
public sale, 62 chests of Bengal, bankrupts' effects, were
offered, and sold rather under last sale's rates; low to
good went at is 9d to 3s 9d per lb.
SALTPETRE.—TO day rough was in good request, and
211 bags at auction sold at stiffer rates, middling strong
grey, 8 per cent. refraction, went at 30s per cwt.
OILS.—The stock continues on the increase of Fish
Oils, and there is no improvement to notice in the home
or export demand, whereas on the part of holders there
is a desire to realise. Southern is offered rather under
previous rates, still the purchases made in all
kinds have been to a limited extent only by
private treaty, at auction 40 tuns sold at 231 15s to
261 for middling to fine. Cod is little required, and can
be obtained at 26L, indeed for arrival there are sellers
under these rates. Seal has been dealt in with caution.
Sperm has been purchased with caution by private
contract. In Olive the purchases made have been of
little moment by shippers, as well as the home trade.
For Linseed Oil, further reduced rates having been
taken, occasioned the home trade to purchase largely ;
and a fair quantity has been taken by exporters, the
prices accepted are 23s 3d to 23s 6d, and the supply is
plentiful. For forward delivery there are few buyers,
although there are sellers at 245. The market is in a
quiet state for Rapeseed Oil. Cocoa-nut is little re-
quired, prices continue on the decline, and rule at 60s to
62s for fine quality. In Lard Oil a fair business has
been done. Ground Nut Oil is dull of sale.
TALLow.—There are further arrivals, and the stock
is large, far exceeding that of this period in the past
year, whereas large parcels are still to arrive. Holders
of Russian are willing sellers, but submitting to rather
lower rates made the town and country demands good on
the spot : 448 to 445 9d per cwt are the prices accepted
for fine P.Y. Candle according to the terms of payment,
at which rates there is a desire to realise ; the dealers
are not disposed to hold large stocks. For forward de-
livery there has been little passing, although 43s 6d
to 43s 9d would be accepted to the close of the
year ; 44s to 44s 6d for spring months. In home made
large purchases have been made in consequence of 45s
to 46s having been accepted nett cash; there is, however,
a good supply. Other kinds of Tallow have slightly
declined in value, but the parcels offered at public sale
were all sold.
