MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price current of May 14.)
SUGAR.—TO-day any further advance in the value of hew
Sugar was arrested by the increased quantities brought to
market, still all parties were desirous to operate, and the
supply did not exceed the demand. The biddings were
spirited at the various public salee, West India was disposed
of to a fair extent, and all kinds sustained the former worth;
the quantity sold was 4.sojhhds, making the total sales for
the week 1,870 hhde and trcs—the rise during that time
has amounted to Gd to is per cwt.
REFINED.—A considerable improvement has taken place
in the demand for Refined Sugar for home consumption thi.l,
week, and prices have risen Is 6d to 2s per cwt, although;
the supply is good, and the refiners continuing to wort,
freely, with every probability that they will keep so, as prices
are very encouraging. Ali descriptions have been exten.
sively dealt in by the town and country trade.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in ex-
cellent demand, and the parcels offered at public sale,
amounting to 6,180 bags and 145 chests, were sold, but io
some cases at easier rates.

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amounted to
10,522 bags, still the demand was active, and the whole
sold at prices, in some cases, rather under those that existed
previously.
FOIIEIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 210 hhds Porto
Rico Sugar were taken in—low yellow at 45s 64 to 465, mid-
dling 475 to 48s, good 48s 6d.
COCOA.—For Foreign prices continue high, but there are
not many buyers, and 43e to 45s is the value of grey Guaya-
quil. British Plantation has been operated in with caution ;
there is a better supply. On Tuesday 211 bags of Grenada at
auction were taken iu at 52s for middling rather dull red, and
at 51s for dull ditto, being about the previous value. The
arrivals are exceeding those of the previous season.
COPFEE.—This afternoon at ptfulic sale 133 bags of Plan-
tation Ceylon were sold, but at barely former rate
mid colory 583 to 603, line fine ord 533 to 565, and damageo
505 to 56s 6d; 141 brls Mocha were taken in—good yellow
long berry at 753, mid 70s, low mid mixed greenish 58s ;
3 trcs Jamaica fine fine ord 5Ss 6d ; 422 bags of Mysore wer,
taken in at 30s to 35s for ord and good ord mixed. Nativt
Ceylon is wanted, and good ordinary at 375.
TEA.—There has been more desire evinced to operate it,
Congou this week, and a fair quantity of all kinds have been
disposed of by private treaty ; but holders have been fre,
sellers upon reduced terms, and the supply is plentiful.
Pouchong is little wanted, and is offered upon rather lowel
terms In the low and mid sorts of Green several purchaser
have been made : but in some cases rather lower rates art
again taken ; fine and good sorts have been sold to a fair ex-
tent, but at better prices. For scented Tea the market is
very dull, and prices are looking down. The trade are com-
plaining of the low rates at which Tea is selling.
Stuces.—To-day at public sale 138 boxes of Cassia Lignes
were taken in at 565. 63 for good ordinary third pile, which i.
above the value. 193 bags Pimento sold at rather lower
rates. Mace is less wanted, and at public sale 20 chests went
2d per lb under former rates. For Nutmegs the demand is
not so good, and 67 chests 15 bags went at a fall on former
rates of 2d to 3d. Of Malabar Pepper 371 bags went at 34d
for good heavy. 421 bags of Cloves were taken in at Bid to
9d for Zanzibar and Bourbon.

RICE. —To-day the market was plentifully supplied with
East India Rice, and there being little desire evinced to
operate, a fall iu the value of most sorts took place. At
auction 2,538 bags of Madras were offered, but a part only
found buyers at 3d to 6d decline for yellow and pinky white

—lmporters continue to be eager sellers, and
subraltted to further reduced rates for every kind, yet ex-
porters and the home trade operated with reluctance, and the
quantity brought to market exceeded their wants. Prices
are much lower than they were in 18-1 G at this time.
Hors.—The market has an improving appearance for all
descriptions of Hops; in the better sorts large purchases have
been made, and at rather higher rates; whilst in the lower
kinds a fair business has been done, and in some cases at
better prices.
SPIRITS.—AII descriptions of Rum have met with increased
attention, and a further improvement in the value has taken
place. In all sorts of Jamaica a good business has been
transacted by exporters and the home trade at prices show-
ing an advance on those of last Friday of 2d per gallon. The
total sales amount to 500 puns. Demerara has been in ex-
cellent demand, and it is 2d to 3d dearer than on Friday last.
Leeward Island is much wanted, but business has been much
interfered with by the advanced rates insisted upon. East
India has been sold to a fair extent at the advanced rates of
3s Id to 3s 2d for proof Calcutta. Brandy has been operated
in with caution for all purposes, and there is a strong desire to
realise, as the stock is very large. and arrivals neat at hand.
Geneva is wanted for exportation, and prices are higher.
Fine for home use in good demand. For British Corn Spirits
the demand is very good. Gin cannot at present be quoted
higher.
INDIGO.—To-day 874 chests have passed the sale. Dur-
ing the progress proprietors have again withdrawn 797
chests. There was decidedly more disposition on the part of
buyers to come forward, and more briskness in the biddings,
but although we cannot quote any improvement on ordinary
and defective descriptions of Bengal, the prices of good and
sound sorts were a shade higher than on the three previous
days. The quantity bought in this day is 132 chests. 6,750
chests have now passed the sale, of which 2,250 chests are
sold.
Oms.—This afternoon, at public sale, 112 pkgs of Cocoa
