MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 17.)
SUGAR.—Today importers of Raw Sugar were not
inclined to submit to any further reduction in the value,
but all parties were cautious in their proceedings. Of
West India Muscovado the quantity sold in the private
market was only 30 hhds and tres, but former rates were
supported for nearly all kinds. A public sale of 109
:hhds Barbadoes sold at 45s to 45s 6d for fine yellow,
42i 6d to 49s 6d for good middling and good, and at
40s to 42s for middling, which are steady rates. The
total saleslfor the week are 2,040 hbds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods met with little at-
tention from the home trade, and there are sellers upon
former reduced terms. For Bonded Crushed Sugar 30s
6ci to 31s 6cl accepted for fine.
Mstriartus.—At a public sale of 3,876 bags and 37
casks of-Mauritius, former rates are supported, and the
whole sold.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 3,158 bags; the
chief part sold, and at fall rates.
F011E1111.7. This afternoon at public sale 996 bkts
Java were all withdrawn. 50 hhds and 230 barrels
Porto Rico chiefly sold at steady prices. The private
sales for the week are a cargo of w hite ffavannah at 30s
for exportation ; 500 chests yellow Flavannah on the
spot at 25s for fine, and 1,000 bags low white China at
21s 6d ; 150 hhds St. Eustatius 38s Ed per cwt.
COFFEE.—To-day there was not much desire shown
to operate in Ce)lon Coffee, and at the public sales of
1,457 bags, prices further declined 6d for Native, but
Plantation fetched full rates—good ordinary Native
sold at 35s 6d, real good ordinary 36s 6d, pea berry
40s to 435, damaged 335, Plantation good coloury
62s 6d, middling 53s 6d to 595, low middling 50s to
523 6d, fine and fine fine ordinary 45s 6d to 49s 6d,
ordinary and good ordinary 42s to 445, triage 33s to
37s 6d, and damaged 47s to 47s 6d. Mocha met with
little attention, and-3-39 bales were only in part sold at
about former rates—middling yellow 59s to 61s, da-
maged 32s to 355, triage 35s 6d to 50s, and low ditto
16s per cwt.

TEA.—There is not so mush desire shown on the part
of holders of the better description of Congou to realise
this week, but the amount of business concluded has
been to a moderate extent only; still the supply
is less plentiful. For the lower qualities there
is, however, a good demand, and Lull rates are
obtained, as merchants offer but a moderate quantity
for sale. Pouchong sells steadily at 5d to 9d for low to
good. Souchong is little required. Fine Green Tea is
dull of sale, and prices tend downwards, as there is an
increasing supply, but low and middling sorts continue
in good demand owing to the low rates that prevail.
Scented Teas are in moderate demand low as prices are.
The value of Caper is 8d to is 6d per lb. None has
been submitted to public competition since this day
week, whilst the arrivals during that period were of
little moment, but the quantity taken for home con-
sumption was large, whilst the deliveries for exportation
were to a fair extent.

Corrosr —There has been a decrease in the demand
for East India this week, whilst holders have been more
inclined to realise, and the limited business transacted by
private treaty was upon rather lower terms. The public
sales yesterday of 1,959 bales of Surat went off with
heaviness, and only 800 bales were actually sold at prices
showing a fall on those of this day week of id per lb.
SPIRITS.—For Jamaica Rum holders succeeded in
getting nearly former rates for all sorts, as the supply is
small, but there has been only a limited demand this
week .from exporters or the home trade. The total
sales are 200 puns of Jamaica. Leeward Island is still
dull of sale, and 2s 3d is nearest value of proof. East
India is little required, and can be obtained at is lld
to 2s for proof with certificate. For Demerara full
rates are generally obtained, but the sales are only 130 ,
puns at 3s to 3s 2d for 27 to 30 per cent over proof of
fair and middling quality, and 3s 4d to 3s 6d for good
and fine 31 to 38 per cent over proof. Of Havannah
Rum there are further arrivals, but the chief part is
being vatted for the purpose of shipment to Greece
and Italy, on account of the importers. The value
of proof is is Bd. In Brandy of any kind
there has been little passing, and prices remain as pre-
viously, at which there are free sellers. Geneva is little
wanted, still shipping sorts are to be obtained at 2s Bd,
and fine for home consumption at 3s 3d to 3s 6d per
gallon. For British Corn Spirits and Gin prices are the
same as last week, but with a quiet market.
SPICES.—For black Pepper of all kinds the demand
has been more active. At auction 1,106 bags of Malabar
went at 3d for good heavy brown, 21d to 28d for good
light, and at 28d to 2jd for sea damaged. Privately
sales to a fair extent have been concluded. White is
held with more firmness, and none offered at auction:
privately several sales have been made at gd to 5d for
common to fine. For Nutmegs previous rates are asked,
but exporters as well as the home trade are less inclined
to do business, and 12 pkgs at auction were taken in.
Mace has been sought after, but the supply is small, and
prices are firm. For Cinnamon there are few purchasers;
sales can be made upon terms of last quarterly auctions
whilst there is a fair supply of all kinds. For the better
qualities of Cloves there are not many buyers, but other
sorts are wanted, and of such the supply is small.
Cassia Lignea is still in short supply, and all kinds being
wanted, prices continue on the advance.

RlCE.—There has been a decrease in the demand for
all descriptions of East India this week, whilst importers
have been more inclined to realise, and plentifully sup-
plying the market produced a decline in prices of 3d to
6d per cwt. Of the parcels offered at public sale,
amounting to 12,247 bags, not about half found buyers.
Privately exporters and the home trade have operated
with caution, and on the part of speculators little desire
has been manifested to buy. Patna has been in excel-
lent demand. For Arrowroot there is rather more de-
mand, but prices do not improve.
COCHINEAL is still only in limited demand, and the
market continuing to be liberally suppiied, prices have
suffered a further depression of Id per lb; indeed the
quantity brought to market is still exceeding the wants
of exporters and the home trade. At auction 291 bags
Honduras were disposed of.
Oms.—Although there are further arrivals of Fish
Oils, still holders have shown firmness this week, and
refrained from offering any at public sale, but there is
no improvement to notice in the demand from exporters
or the home trade, and a fair quantity is held by im-
porters. For Cod the rates insisted upon are 27/ 5s to
271 10s, but there are few buyers to be met with ;
the market will be be better supplied shortly. On
the par t of importers of Seal there is little desire to sell.
Purchases made in all sorts of Southern have been of
little moment, although low and middling quality can be
obtained at 24/ to 25/, and good to fine 25/ lOs to 261105.
In Sperm a good business has been concluded. Linseed
Oil is little wanted by exporters or the home trade, and as
the supply continues increasing prices are on thedecline.
For forward delivery there are sellers at 26s to 26s 3d,
but few buyers are to be met with. The supply is on
the increase, and is likely so to continue, as
prices are much above those of the past season and are
highly remunerating to the crushers. Rapeseed Oil
is not much required. For Cocoa Nut prices rule high,
as the supply is small. whilst the trade are much in
want of the article. Palm and Olive have been in ex-
cellent request. Lard Oil is dull.
