MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(Frei:tithe London New Price Current of Aug. 10.)
SUGAR.—To-dayi although merchants were desirous
to realise, and submitted to further reduced rates for
most kinds of raw Sugar, still the home trade could not
be induced to operate with more freedom, but the ship-
pers were desirous to do ibusiness. West India Musco-
vado was operated in with caution for grocery and
refining purposes, although the rates accepted were 6d
per cwt under those of Friday.for all qualities, and the
private purchases are only 460 hhds. A public sale of
142 hhds 11 tierces .Barbadoes went off with heaviness,
and at a fall on the prices of the last auction of 6d per
cwt, and not above half found buyers.
REFINED.—Today the market for Refined Goods had
a dull aspect, and a further decline in the value took
place—brown lumps selling at 54s to 555, and standard
lumps 55s 6d to 56s per cwt. For bonded Crushed
Sugar there are few buyers, but prices remain the same.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar submitted to public sale amounted to 1,945 bags;
the white sold at full rates. Of Madras 473 bags were
sold at the full worth, but the ohief part consisted of the
better sorts.
FOREIGN.--To•day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar. Privately, .however, purchases to a fair extent
were made by exporters; but upon low terms ; the home
trade operated cautiously.
MAIIRITIIIS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
Sugar offered at pUblic sale amounted to 6,616 bags and
13 casks, there was not much desire shown to do busi-
ness, but merchants submitting to a fall on former rates
of 6d to is per cwt, nearly caused the whole to be sold.
MOLASSES.--The stock of West India continues on
the increase, and there are in consequence sellers upon
further reduced terms, but few buyers are to be met
with ; East India met with a dull sale at 15s to 19s.
Honey is not much 'required, whilit the supply is good,
and a further fall in the value must be quoted.
COFFEE. -- This afternoon there was little desire
evinced on the part, of exporters or the home trade to
operate in coffee privately, and the tendency of prices
is downwards. The only public sale was that of 6 trcs
and 7 brls of Jamaica, which were taken in at 52s to 54s
for fine fine ordinary rather mixed, and fine ordinary at
50s per cwt.
Cocos.—Holders of British Plantation are asking
previous rates; but little desire has been evinced to
operate, and the supply exceeded the demand, especially
of the low and middling sorts ; at auction a small part
only, of 485 bags Trinidad found buyers.
RICE.—To-day there was no public sale of East India
Rice, whilst the amount of business transacted privately

was extremely limited. '
