MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 5.)
SIIIIAR.--To-day the raw Sugar market presented a
healthy appearance: all parties were desirous to operate,
prices advanced, and supplies were small. West India
Muscovado of all qualities was in excellent demand, 890
hhds and trcs finding buyers; the rates paid are 6d, and
in some cases is per cwt above those of Friday last.
The total sales for the week amount to 3,100 hhds and
trcs. The public sales held to-day were small. The
market for Sugar of all kinds closes with an improving
appearance. A public sale of 120 hhds of Barbadoes is
declared for Tuesday.

REFINED.—To-day prices were firm for refined goods,
and the demand was active—Standard lumps at 53s to
1 53s Gd, and brown grocery 52s Gd to 535. For Bonded
crushed Sugar the demand is active for exportation,
chiefly at 28s tid per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, but a good business was concluded privately, and
the rates paid were rather above those that prevailed
previously. A cargo of Porto Bice sold at 18s Gd to 19s,
and 500 chests brown and yellow Bahia 17a to 19a
per cwt.
MOLASSES.—For West India of all sorts the market
continues in a dull state, and prices are on the decline.
A parcel of good Antigua has been sold at 18s per cwt.
Bengal Treacle is little wanted, and 17s to Hs is the
value.
Coco.a.—West India is offered rather under former
rates, but buyers have operated with reluctance on all
kinds, and the supply is more than sufficient for the de-
mand. Of 700 bags of Trinidad offered at auction, a
part only sold : good grey 42s to 42s 6d, middling 40s to
41s, good red 43s to 455. In Foreign there has been
little passing privately, and 460 bags of Bahia at auction
were taken in at 39s for fine bright red. A further fall
it is expected will take place in the value of all kinds of
Cocoa, as there is a plentiful stock here.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was in
good demand, and 670 bags 24 casks at auction all sold
at an advance on former rates of 2s to 31—good coloury
fetched 63s to 655, middling 52s 6d to 56s 6d, low
middling 49s to 50s 6d, fine fine ordinary 46s Gd to 463
6d, fine ordinary 43s to 43s Gd, good ordinary 41s to
42s 6d, triage 31s, and damaged 3'2s Gd to 465, very low
ditto 15s to 15s 6d. Native met with increased atten-
tion, and 1,434 bags all found buyers at very low rates
—good ordinary 32s 6d to 335, real good ordinary 33s to
33s 6d, and damaged 25s Gd to 31s Gd. For auction,
3,700 bags 200 casks Plantation Ceylon and 50 casks
200 barrels Jamaica are declared.
TEA.—There is no improvement to notice in the
value of Congou, but the low rates that exist induced
the home trade to be more inclined to do business, and
they have taken several parcels of all qualities ; indeed,
the business concluded has been greater than dating the
last few weeks. The rates accepted have been-1,,w qua-
lity 71d to Bd, good common 8!d to 8:0, mid and but mid
93 to lid, good strong black leaf 1i to Is 2d, fine and
Pekoe flavour, is Is 3d to is 7d; upon these terms there
is, however, a desire on the part of holders to sell.
Souchong met with little attention, and is offered at 11,1
to is 2d fur ordinary and middling, and at is' 3d to 2s
2d for good to fine. In Pouchong,, sales to a fair
extent have been made at d to gd, A fair
amount of business has ken concluded in green,
-,
but holders are sellers It' p' on low terms. For
Pekoe Tea there are few

are; we quote black leaf at.d

week the arrivals have been unimportant, but the deli-
veries are upon a large scale for home consumption I
are likely so to continue on account of the cheapness and
ocf
all kinds.
Rican' d Ti the 3
. k..— 0-(.ay demand was good for East India
Rice privately many pllrchases were made in all
kinds and higher rates were paid. At public sale 517
bags Ceylon sold at lOs 6d to lls for middling white,
and which is an advance on former rates of 3d to Gd
per cwt.
SAGO.—There is a better opinion entertained towards
this article; but at present no advance can be noticed in
the value. Privately, however, several parcels have been
sold—low to mid small Pearl at 16s to 18s, and good to
