MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 16.)
Sucea.—To-day there was a considerable falling off
in the home demand for Raw Sugar, and on the part of
exportersless desire was manifested to operate. Although
there was but a moderate supply, yet holders were com-
pelled to take rather lower rates. The demand was cry
limited for West India of all kinds, and the
prices accept(d are 61 under those of Friday.
The total purchases amounted to 160 hhds and tierces,
including a public sale of 125 hhds of Barbadoes, which
went off quietly at steady prices; fine yellow at 44s to
45s 6d, good 42s to 43s 6d, and middling 39s to 41s 61
per cwt. The market closes with an untavourable ap-
pearance for Sugar of all kinds.

RETINED.—T;day the home trade purchased Refir.ed
goods with less freedom, and prices have assumed a
downward tc ndency, Lumps to pass the standard being
'obtainable at 54s to 54s Gd, and brown grue,ry at .53s
per cwt. For Bonded Crushed Sugar the demand is
active, and first quality is not to be obtained under
30s Gd per cwt.
MAunrrrus.—This afternoon there was less demand
for all purposes: at auction 2,501 bags were offered, the
chief part consisted of brown and common yellow kinds;
the sale went off flatly, and the rates taken were rather
under those that existed previously. Privately there
was little passing in any kind.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon two parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 2,847 bags, were offered at auction;
there was less demand, a small part only sold at rather
lower rates, low and mid white Benares went at 41, eiti
to 42s 6d, fine soft yellow 40s to 41s, middling 34 to
365, low 31s to 325, good and fine brown 30s to 31s,
low strong yellow 33s to 34s ; the chief part was taken
in at 43s to 46s 6d for middling and good sound white
Benares.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of clay
kind of Foreign Sugar, and privately little desire t-..as
evinced by exporters or the home trade to purchase;
holders were, however, for the most part not disposed to
submit to lower rates.

COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was lass
in request, and 12 casks 467 bags at auction were taken
in above the value. Native met with little attenti-on,
still good ordinary was not to be obtained under 335.
Mocha is not much wanted, and 200 bales 400 half-bsleS
were taken in ; good greenish 56s to 575, ordinary 40$
to 455, good yellow long berry 80s, and triage 30s to
Of Costa Rica 2,305 bags were all sold, and at a lise oirs
former rates of is to 2s per cwt.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice met with attent:in,
and privately but few parcels were sold: at auction.
1,600 bags and 647 pockets were sold at about former
rates; good white Bombay, but rather small grain,
fetched 13s 6d to 14s, middling and good middling 13s
to 13s 6d, damaged 9s to 13s 6d, ordinary Cargo 9,6 d,
fine yellow ifs 6d, and damaged 9s to les 6d per cwt.
SPlRlTS.—Previous rates are maintained for Jamaica
Rum of fine quality; the demand is good, whereas the
supply is small; for other sorts a fall in the value of 2d
per gallon has taken place; the purchases however, have
been upon a larger scale both for home consumption and
exportation. There is a desire on the part of the home
trade generally to get into stock, as prices are model ate.
Brandy is not offered at any further reduction in the
value, but there is yet little desire on the part of shippers
or the home trade to do business, the supply is piet; ful,
and consists chiefly of old landed sorts. The market
for Geneva has a firm appearance; the supply is small,
whilst there is a good demand. British Corn Spirits
fully supported previous quotations; the demand being
active. To-day the market for all kinds of Rum was in
a dull state; East India was to be obtained at is 6d
proof, and Leward Island at is 8d per gallon.
COCHINEAL.—Previous rates are sustained for ell
descriptions, but the demand has not been so good,
and privately the amount of business concluded has
been of little moment. At auction 39 bags of Bond km
were sold, middling and good bold silvers at 4s 3:i to
4s 7d; 32 bags of Mexican, black ordinary 5s 1,1 to
.5s 3d, but silvers were taken in at 456 d, being above the
value.

prices accepted are 23s 3d to 23s 6d, and the supply is
plentiful. For forward delivery there are few buyers,
although there are sellers at 245. The market is in a
quiet state for Rapeseed Oil. Cocoa-nut is little re-
quired, prices continue on the decline, and rule at 605 to
62s for fine quality. In Lard Oil a fair business has
been done. Ground Nut Oil is dull of sale.
