MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of May 7.)
SuGAn.—To-day there was an increased desire manifested
to purchase raw Sugar of all kinds for home consumption,
and exporters came into the market with more freedom; the
consequence was that merchants manifested greater firmness,
and ageneral advance of prices took place. The business
done to-day was greater than for some time.
REFINED.—To-day there was a good demand for refined
sugar from the home trade, but the refiners were willing
sellers at the rates :that existed previously. The market,
however, closes with a firm appearance.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal sugar was in good
demand, and 2,022 bags at auction were all sold at a rise 01l
former rates of ls.

Mauumus.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was operated
in with increased freedom, and 8,745 bags 140 casks at pub-
lic sale were all disposed of at a rise on former rates of 1s
for refining, and 6d to is per cwt for grocery sorts.
FOAEIGN.-To-day a floating cargo of brown Babia ;sold
M23spercwt.

Mot.issEs.—Prices have not improved for West India; but
the demand for all sorts bas been good. Bengal Treacle is
little wanted. Honey is not much in request.
COFFEE. —This afternoon Jamaica Coffee of the new crop
met with little attention, and 137 casks at public sale were
only in part sold, at a further decline in price of 3s. For
Ceylon the market has a dull appearance, and 79 bags Plan-
tation were taken in.

TEA.—Further parcels have arrived this week, and some
ships are near at hand; still none has again been offered at
public sale : but privately there is a large quantity on offer
of all kinds. The good and fine qualities of Green have
been in much better demand, and many parcels have been
sold, but holders are compelled to take last week's rates ;
but the low and middling sorts have been operated in with
caution; although there are sellers rather under former rates.
In Congou there has been little passing, and prices are on
the decline. For all other sorts of Tea the market is dull.
RICE.—To •day there was much excitement is the market
for East India Rice : and at public auction 4,139 bags Ben-
gal sold at and after the sales at fully former rates. Pri-
vately a good deal was done in all kinds, at stiff rates.
SPICES.—To-day at public sale 2,838 bags of Zanzibar
Cloves were only in part sold, at reduced rates.
SPiurrs —lmporters are not so desirous to realise as they
were. The good and fine qualities of Jamaica have met
with a pod demand this week, and brought full rates, but
the low and middling sorts have been operated in with
caution: still they cannot be obtained upon lower terms.
Demerara met with attention, and the rates given are equal
to those of Friday last ; the sales amount to 200 puns. Lee •
ward Island is held with firmness, but there has not been
much business done this week, and only 100 puns have been
sold The market has a quiet appearance for East India;
still lower rates are not taken. Brandy has been operated in
with much caution by exporters and the home trade, whilst
the stock of all sorts is on the increase ; there are sellers at
late rates. Geneva is little wanted for exportation, and
prices are on the decline. For British Corn Spirits the de-
mand is good.

INDIGO.—For East India the rates asked are equal to
those of the last quarterly sales, but exporters and the
home trade operate with caution, taking only sufficient for
their immediate wants. The actual quantity declared for the
11th May is 14,351 chests. Spanish sells slowly at late
quotations.
Smark.-rnE.—To-day rough was in•excellent request; and
1,342 bags at auction sold at a rise on the rates of the last
public sale of 6d to 9d per cwt. English Refined has been
much in demand at 31s 6d to 32s per cwt.
On.s.—This afternoon at public sale 59 tuns of Sperm Oil
were partly sold at 881 10s to 901 10s; 130 tuns Southern
Whale, and Elephant Oil, chiefly taken in at 261 lOs to
::81 ss; 30 tune of Seal partly sold, pale 331, and yellow
46/103 to 271; these are all lower prices.
TALLOW.—Russian on the spot must again be quoted
cheaper, and the town as well as country trade have
purchased with caution. Holders are willing sellers, al-
though the stock is less than it was at this time last year.
The deliveries, however, have again been small, and 47s to
478 Gd per cwt are the rates accepted for fine Petersburgh
Yellow Candle. For delivery in the last three mouths of the
year a good demand, however, ex,isted; but there is a desire
to realise. Home made is plentiful. Other kinds of Tallow
are little wanted, and can be obtained under former rates, as
the supply is yet plentiful.
