MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of August 18.)
SUGAR.—For British Plantation Sugar a much better
demand has prevailed since we last wrote, both grocers
and refiners have purchased largely of brown as well as of
yellow descriptions, paying an advance on the rates of this
day week of is Gd per cwt. The sales for the three market
days amounted to the large quantity of 2,600 hhds and trs.
The arrivals have been small during the past week, and the
deficiency in the comparative stocks has been much increased.
This afternoon the grocers purchased freely of both
brown and yellow descriptions ; for refining purposes a fair
demand existed, and the prices established on Friday were
fully supported, indeed, in some cases, buyers were com-
pelled to pay 6d advance. The total purchases amounted
to 800 hhds and tierces; nothing of dry brown quality
could be had under 803, at the close of the market. The
few ships arriving bring small cargoes.
At public sale 100 hhds Barbadoes were offered and sold
readily, fine sorts at former prices, but the lower kinds went
rather above them, fine yellow sold at 86s, good 84s 6d to
85s, midd 83s to 83s 6d, low 82s to 82s 6d per cwt.
12Rvibign.--To-day a good demand prevailed, for refined
goods for home consumption, and prices were firm,
Standard Lumps at 107 s 6d to 108 s. Treacle was taken
more freely at 41s to 45s per cwt, Bastards and Pieces sold
freely, for bonded Crushed and Loaves a better demand
existed, sales in the former were made at 345, and in the
latter at 38s to 39s for 10 and 14 lbs.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was a good deal of
inquiry by private contract, and higher rates were paid ;
at public sale 755 bags sold briskly, establishing an ad-
vance on the last auction of 6d to Is per cwt, midd brown
went at 78s 6d to 795, good 80s, low yellow 81s to 81s 6d,
midd 82s to 82s 6d, one lot 83s per cwt.
EAST better demand has prevailed for Ben-
gal, and privately parcels have been disposed of at rather
higher rates. This afternoon Bengal was in good request,
and 750 bags at public sale went readily at prices of Is to
1s 6d above those of the last auction, good midd white
fetched 85 to 86s, Damps and Washed 835 to 85s 6d: very
low brown in bad condition 67s to 67s 6d, rather bright
76s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—The private operations in Havannah have
been on a small scale in both yellow and white, and hold-
ers will not submit to lower rates. In Brazil the mer-
chants have refused to reduce their pretensions. Foreign
Muscovado, imported from St. Kitts, went at 24s 6d to
25a for middling strong yellow.
MOLASSES.—For West India a much better demand has
prevailed, and the private sales have amounted to 280
puns at rather higher rates, flue Antigua fetched 465, midd
St. Lucia 41s, at auction 21 puns fair thin St. Kitts sold
at 41s. 6d, 35s puns Halifax were taken in at 40s, the ar-
rivals have been small.

COFFEL—For clean descriptions of British Plantation
there has been an improved demand, and several parcels
have been taken by the trade privately at prices is Gd to
2s above those of this day week. Mocha is wanted, par-
ticularly fine yellow sorts, but few parcels are to be had,
excepting at extravagant prices.
To-day there was no public sale of any kind, but by pri-
vate contract a good demand existed to supply the wants
of the home trade, and prices were rather higher ; sales of
good Java were made at 68s to 68s Gd, and good ord Cey-
lon at 87s to 88s per cwt. West India of clean quality is
wanted, but little is to be had; at the above rates same of
the large holders will not realize.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND3.—For Jamaica and
strong descriptions of Leeward Rum a good demand has
existed since we last wrote, both for home use and export,
and former rates have been fully maintained, but common
sorts of the latter have been in less request, and
prices have given way id per gallon. The sales of
Jamaica have amounted to nearly 400 puns, 28 to 36 per
cent. overproof at Gs 4d to 6s 10d, 37 to 39 over 6s Ild to
7s Id, stronger and favourite marks 7s 3d. Of Leewards, 250
puns have been disposed of ; proof at 3s 8d to 3s Bid,
2 to 5 per cent overproof at 3s 9d to 3s 10d, 6 to 15 over
3s Ild to 4s 4d ; 18 to 26 over 4s 5d to 5s 2d, 28 to 32
over 5s 4d to 5s 6d, 34 to 38 over 5s 8d to 5s 10d, stronger
ds to 6s 2d per gal ; 38 pus Foreign at auction sold at 2s 4d
to 2s 5d for one under to 2 per cent overproof, and 33
to 36 over 3s Gd to 3s 3d 7d per gallons, but few parcels
of any kind have been imported since last Tuesday : the
Government contract for 100,000 gallons will be taken on
Thursday. Holders of Brandy do not appear disposed to
submit to lower rates, but the operations have been on a
small scale both for home use and export ; we quote Cog-
nac first brands of the vintage of 1836 in hhds, Ss Id
to 51 2d, puns 4s I Id to ss; 1837; hhds 4s 1 Id to ss, runs
4s 9d to 4s 10d ; 1838, hhds 4s 9d to 4a 10d, puns 4s 7d to

Geneva has been in good request at 2s to 2s Id. British
Corn Spirits are not obtainable under 103 3d, but there
has not been so much business doing.
To-day only a limited demand existed for Rum, but
prices were film, and proof Le wards were not to be had
under 3s 8d per gallon.

ever, a fair amount of business was transacted in P. Y. C.
on the spot, and buyers were compelled to pay 51s Gd to
52s for first quality, for delivery in the last three months.
