MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of April 6.)
SUGAR.—A further decline has taken place in the
value of both fie e and slave labour, the home demand
being on the decrease, and the shipping orders in the
market at present being unimportant. The deliveries
for all purposes, however, continue to be upon a large
scale, and greater than last year. Prices are 2s to 3s
per cwt lower than they were at that time, but the stock
is nearly as large, and thu patty is fine. The public
sales announced to take piece are important. There
is yet a large quantity to arrive from all quarters. West
India Muscovado met with little attention from grocers
or refiners on Wednesday and Thursday, although mer-
chants were free sellers, ana submitted to a ryductien on
previous rates of Is.
REFINED.—The home trade have operated in Refined
goods with caution since this day week. The supply is
on the increase, and prices declining. The consumption
is, however, going on, largely exceeding that of last
season, and likely so to continue. The refiners are de-
sirous to realise, as they are obtaining satisfactory rates.
MArtitmus —There has been little desire evinced to
operate in refining or in grocery description, although
there are sellers rather under former rates. None has
been ofered at public sale since our last report, but the
large quantity of 10,000 bags is announced. There are
further arrivals, and the stock is much greater than it
was at this time in 1846; the deliveries, however, con-
tinue upon a large scale, and far exceed those of any
other sort of sugar, and it is yet the cheapest.
EAST INDlA.—Bengal has been operated in with
caution, and the rates taken have been rather under those
that existed previously, there being a fair qu:mtity on
offer. For Penang the inquiries have been limited, and
late rates cannot even be obtained.
COCHINEAL.—The deliveries are far exceeding those
of the previous season, whilst the stock is less, but
prices are above those of that time, especially for the
better qualities. By private contract only a small amount
of business has been transacted since this day week, and
rather lower rater, hare been accepted. For public sale
100 serons are declared.

Fonracm—Privately there has been little passing in
any kind of Foreign Sugar for home consumption, and
prices are cn the decline. At public sale 762 baskets
948 mats and 4 bags Java, duty paid, were all disposed
of, but at a reductiou on former prices of 2s for white
and the Euperior kinds of yellow ; the decline on brown
and inferior yellow amounted, however, to only is
per cwt.

- MOLASSES.—There has been little desire evinced to
operate in any sort of West India, and prices are on tee
decline. For fine Antigua 24s 61 have been accepted.
The value of low Molasses is 20s to 21e. At public
sale 60 puns new middling Antigua Molasses were sold
at the reduced rates of 21s Gd to 22s per cwt.
COFFEE.—Although the inferior descriptions of West
India can be obtained rather under previous rates, still
few purchases have been made by private contract.
Middling and superior sorts are held for the former cur-
rency; but the contracts concluded have been of little
consequence. None at present has been submitted to
public competition; and the stock is much less than it
was last y. ar; but arrivals of the new crops are near at
hand. The deliveries are falling off; and other sorts
of Coffee are lower in price than West India.
There is every probability of the importation ex-
ceeding that of 1846, and of the qu dity being
liner. East India, suitable for home consumption, fur-
ther declined in value, although the quantity brought
0) market has not been large ; but the trade have been
cautious in their operations. Shipping sorts are not to
ne obtained upon lower terms ; but the orders are fall-
•ng off. No increase, however, has taken place in the
alpply. The importation of all sorts, it is expected,
will exceed that of the previous Beason. The amount of
business transacted by private contract in Plantation Cey-
lon has been to a small extent only, upon rather lois er
terms. Mocha has been operated in with caution by pri-
va:c treaty, although there are sellers upon rather lower
terms, the stock being considerably Ices than last season,
and the consumption greater. None has been submitted
to public competition. Java is not much wanted; but
holders are not inclined to reduce their prices. Foreign
Coffee has been purchased with caution by the home
1 trade, and there are few export orders. Prices are on
the decline, there being a large stock, especially of the
better descriptions. None has been offered at auction
since our last report.
Cocoa —The market having been better supplied
with Trinidad, a fall in the value to the extent of 2s to
4s per cwt has taken place ; the demand, however, has
been good, and the parcels offered at auction were all
sold, and amounted to 1,203 bags of the new crop?
TEA.—The arrivals have ken upon a large scale since
this day week, amounting to 27,000 packages; ehereas,
during that period, duty was paid on 446,4961b5. The
deliveries at all the ports this year are exceeding those
of the previous one. The stock of black is not quite so
heavy as it was at this time in 1846 ; but of green it is
greater. All sorts are lower in price than they were at that
period; none has been offered at auction since Ibis day week.
The purchases made in black have been to a small ex-
tent only by the town and country trade, notwithstand-
ing the moderate rate that exists. Of low and mid
qualities, the home trade have been induced to take
many parcels, owing to the late rates, at which there are
seller::.
SAGO.—Prices continue to give way, the demand being
limited, and the supply good; we quote small Pearl at
30s to 32s for ordinary to good, and fine at 32s to 34s per
cwt. That a further fall in the value will ensue, ap-
pears to be the general impression. Sago Flour is little
wanted, and can be obtained at 22s to 23s per cwt. The
arrivals of Sago and Sago Flour are likely to exceed
those of the former season.
SPICES.—In all descriptions of Black Pepper there
have been little desire manifested to operate privately,
but former rates are, however, asked for all sorts. At
public sale 4,140 bags of Malabar were only in part sold.
For white previous rates are insisted upon, but privately
only a moderate business has been done. Mace is'fully
as high as on this day week ; the demand being active,
and supply moderate.
Cassia lAgnealetches full rates,;the supply bcirg small,
and the dernalid good. For Pimento prices continue
high, but exporters and the home trade buy with caution.
Of Jamaica Ginger several parcels have been sold pri-
vately at full rates. East India met with attention.
For Nutmegs previous rates are asked, but the demand
has been less active for home consumption and exporta-
tion. For Cloves the market is looking quiet, and prices
I tend downwards. .
Rece.—To-day East Indiallice met with more atten-
tion by private treaty, and large parcels were disposed
of at full rates.
Hoes.—The business doing in our market iv on a
retail scale, and prices have undergone no variation
since last week's report.
SPIP.ITS.—The market has presented a dull appear-
ance for Leeward Island Rum, and 3s 4d to 3s 6d is the
nearest value of proof strength ; whilst the supply is on
the increase, and likely so to continue. East India is
little wanted and proof with certificate can be obtained
at 3s 2d to 3s 3d. and there is a fair quantity on offer.
For arrival there are even sellers under these rates.

Brandy, and exporters have operated with caution
prices are on the decline, and merchants appear'
to be desirous to sell, as there are large arriv-
als near at hand, and the stock here being
heavy. The consumption, is however, going on
satisfactorily, and exceeds that of former season.
Geneva has been. in good demand for export, and 2s 7d
to 2s 8d are the rates paid for ordinary export sort, but
the home demand has been limited at 2s 10d to 3s 3,
for fine. The price of Corn Spirits has fallen 9.1, and it
is now I ls per gallon for English.
SALTPETRE.—The home and export demand was
limited for Rough by private contract and the rates paid
have been rathexe,a-bove those that existed previously.
Holders evince much firtieness, and supply the market
sparingly. _ _ _
OlLS.—There has been little desire manifested by the
home trade to operate in Lirtseed, Oil since this (lay week,
few export orders have been executed; the crushers are
desirous to realises and submitted tq further reduced rates.
For further delivery the operations ;try -upon a small scale.
The consumption is, however, yet on_ the increase, and
far exceeds that of tliceprevious season. Rape Seed Oil
has been in excellent request, and quotations range firm.
