MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 29.)
SUGAR.--To-day there was less activity in the Raw
Sugar market, shippers as well as the home trade not
being so much disposed to operate; but prices remain
much the same as previously quoted. A good business
was transacted in West India upon former terms, but at
which holders were more inclined to sell. The sales
amounted to 600, making the quantity sold for the week
2.750 hhds and tierces. The rise in the value, compared
with Friday last, is generally not more than Gd per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were in excellent
demand by the home trade, brown grocery lumps at 52s
to 52s 6d, and standard lumps 53s per cwt. Bonded

FOREIGN.—To• day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and the amount of business concluded privately
was to a small extent only, but prices generally sup-
ported.
-MAST Isengal sugar did not
meet with much attention, and 2,695 bags at auction
sold 6d to is under former rates, good strong grainy
yellow went at 42s to 43s 6d, middling 40s to 41s, damp
and washed 36s to 31s, and low soft yellow 30s 6d to
3ls per awt.
M OLASSES.—The market is quiet for West India, but
elders are not inclined to accept lower rates, and ask
155 to I9s for low to fine quality. The demand for
Benga. Treacle has been limited, and 175 to 18s the
value.
CocaL—British Plantation is not much required,
but holders are wing sellers, and the rates taken this
week are is under those that existed previously. At
public sale 149 barrels and bags of Trinidad were sold
at 43s to 44s 6d for good middling and good dark red
middling 42s 6d, good grey 42s 6d to 43; and damaged
26s to 30s ; one lot sound red 46s per owt. For Foreign
there are few buyers, and 35s to 39s is the value.
TEL—There is no more firmness shown by holders,
and they have refrained from submitting any to public
competition ; privately the quantity pressing for sale is
not so large. No public auction is at present declared
to take place, and there is only one small arrival this
week. There is no improvemewent to notice in
the value of the Ong", but the town and country trade
manifest rather Pere disposition to operate, and which is
not to be wondeyed at when the low rates that prevail,
the large consunPtien, combined with the Zones mer.
chants are sustiining upon the importation, are taken
into consideratPn. Purchases to a fair extent have been
made. For S4uchong there are few buyers, although
low and middlng can be obtained at 8d to 11d, and good
to fine 2a to 2E2d, whilst Pouchong sells slowly at 4d to
7d. In Greerthe operations are rather larger than they
were in the pOt week, but there is no improvement per-
ceptible in pries.
