MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of July 27.)

SUGAR.—To day there was a decrease in the demand
for all kinds of Raw Sugar, for both home consumption
and export, whilst holders were more inclined to realise,
and a fall in the value of most kinds took place. The
purchases made in all sorts of West India Muscovado
were to a small extent only for both the scale and pan,
although the rates taken are 6d per cwt under those of
Friday for all qualities. Three parcels of Barbadoes,
amounting to 341 hhds, 47 trcs, 80 brls, were offered at
public sale, but a part only sold at a decline of 6d.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were operated in
with caution by the home trade, although there were
sellers of low to good brown Lumps at 56s to 575, and
standard Lumps at 58s to 58s 6d per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar was only in limited request, and there
are sellers of first quality at 32s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—There has not been much desire evinced
to purchase brown or interior ye 11... ua grey sorts, and
the supply having been good, prices suffered a depres-
sion of 6d to Is per cwt: but for good and fine yellow,
as well as for grey, the demand has been good, whilst
termer rates are supported. At auction 4317 bags and
28 casks were sold.
FoREIGN.—To day the only transactions in Foreign
Sugar privately worth noticing were 2 cargoes of yellow
Havannab Sugar at 24s 6d to 255. Holders arc not
disposed to press sales of any sort.
EAST INDIA —This afternoon there were four public
sales of Bengal Sugar, consis.ing of 3,645 bags; there
was less desire shown to operate, and a part only sold at
a fall on former rates of is per cwt. The strong and
y ellow sorts have, however, fetched the full worth.
COFFEE.—Th 6 afternoon Jamaica Coffee met with at-
tention, and 143 casks, 5 brls, 7 bags at auction were
sold at full rates. Native Ceylon is wanted, but stiffer
rates being asked, prevented purchases of moment being
made privatrly, and 550 bags at public sate were taken
in at 38s for good ordinary, which is above the value,
but damaged sold at 33s to 36s 6d. Plantation is re-
quired, and the parcels sold privately were at dull
rates. At public sale 292 bags went as follows:—fine
fine ordinary 55s to 55s 6d, fine ordinary 48s 6d to 53s
6d, good ordinary 445, triage 35s 6d to 40s, and very low
19s per cwt
TEA.—To day there was a good demand for Tea, and
holders obtained full rates ; good sound common Coneou
for cash was with difficulty to be obtained under 10d
per lb. For auction on Friday 3,300 pkgs are declared.
Duty was paid on 521,000 lbs at this port during the
past week, and none has arrived during that time.
CINNAMON.—The sales went off with great irregu-
larity, and scarcely one-half found buyers. For the first
sorts there were few purchasers, and the small quantity
sold was at a decline of 3d to 4d per lb. The good and
fine qualities of second and third sorts sold briskly, and
realized fully last sale's prices, but inferior qualities of
each were difficult of sale, even at a reduction of 2d to
3d per lb, and the very ordinary was almost unsaleable
at any price.
RICE.—To-day there was no public sale of East
India Rice, and privately less desire was shown to do
business, whilst rather lower rates were taken, and 16s
6d to 19s is the value of low to fine white Bengal.
SPIRITS.—To-day the market had a firmer appearance
for Leeward Island Rum, and a Lair amount of business

was done at 2s 7d proof. East India sells more freely at
2s 6d. For Jamaica the market, however, has a dull
appearance for all sorts.
INDlGO.—Without apparent cause an increased desire
has been evinced by holders of all descriptions of Bengal
Indigo to realise, and they submitted to a reduction at
the quarterly sales held since our last report,
as compared with the prices of May last, of
3d to 6d for good and fine, 2d for middling, and
2d to 3d for ordinary and low, but upon these
terms all parties have been induced to operate with in-
creased freedom, exporters and the home trade having
been large purchasers, whilst speculators have been in-
duced to take many parcels. The consuming sorts at
and under 3s 8d per lb, have been the most in re-
quest. Madras was in good demand up to the
close of last week, and the rates of the May

sale were generally supported ; but yesterday
there was little desire shown to operate, and prices
ruled from those of the last quarterly sale to 4d per lb
decline. Kurpah has been in fair demand, but mer-
chants have been willing sellers at the rates of the
May sale to 2d under, and at 4d to 6d per lb decline
for good and fine. Oude and Pondicherry went off
upon reduced terms.
SALTPETRE.—Since our last report the home and ex-
port demand has been good for all sorts of Bengal pri-
vately. and owing to the small supply holders are en-
abled to obtain stiff rates. This afternoon at public
sale 522 bags of Calcutta were, however, taken above
the value. _ _

.---
CocamEAL —This afternoon there was less demand
at the public sales which consisted of 165 bags Mexican,
and a part only sold 2d to 3d under former rates; silvers
went at 4s 9d to 4s 10d, and blacks 5s 2d to 5s Bd.
SPicEs.—Jamaica Ginger is not much inquired after,
and of all descriptions there are sellers upon further re-
duced terms. Of 152 barrels offered at public auction a
small portion only found buyers. East India and Afri
can be obtained upon lower terms, but there are few
shipping orders, and the home trade operate with cau-
tion in all descriptions. Pimento is wanted, and the
parcels sold privately were at full rates ; at auction 157
bags were disposed of. Thu re are yet anxious sellers
of African cloves.

OlLS.—There has been more activity in the market
for Linseed Oil since our last, whilst a rise in the value
of 3d per cwt has taken place. The home demand has
been good, and large purchases have been made for ex-
portation. For forward delivery the operations are on a
more extended scale. There is at present but a moderate
supply, whilst the consumptiwn is excesstve,but prices yet
range above those of last season. For Rapeseed Oil
prices may be considered firm. An increased desire has
been manifested by buyers to operate in Olive Oil,
whilst holders display firmness, and prices have an up-
ward tendency. Of Palm there is a large quantity
on offer, and a fall in the value must be quoted.
Lard 0.1 sells slowly. There are further arrivals of
Fish Oil, still no decrease took place in the demand or
value. Pale Seal has been in excellent request. There
is no further improvement to notice in the value of
Southern; but the demand for all sorts is good.
TALL‘,w.—P.Y.C. is 48s 3d per cwt. on the spot, and
town 50s 6d per cwt.
