MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

--,_
(From the London New P, ice Current of August 4. )
Soo a.—The West Imlia market has presented a quiet
appearance since our last report.
Ttns day there was considerable heaviness in the West
Indi i sugar market, so limited were the sales that they are
worth enumerating, and it is difficult to quote prices, in-
\
deed they are little better than nominal: four boards yel-
lowthat were sold at 80s to 84s 6d for mid to flue were
full Is lower than on this day week ; the extreme dullness
which exists is to be attributed to the intermediate sup-
plies proving larger than had been expected, and the falling
off in the deliveries during the last three weeks, also the
unwillingness of the merchants to submit to any material
reduction. There was no public sale.
The stock of British Plantation Sugar is now 15,231,
hhds and tiles, which is 16,558 less than last year at the

same period.
REFINED.—To-day the market for Refined voods was
very dull; and the nearest quotation for Standard Lumps
was 108 s. Treacle sel.s slowly at 42s for common, and
43s to 45s for patent and the best old make. Pieces and
Bastards dull. Bonded crushed Sugar 34s to 34s 3(.1,

and few buyers.
MAVIITIUS.—Few purchases have been made ; 7,607
bags at auction went at a reduction on former rates of Is.
This afternoon there waa no public sale, and by private
contract little business was done, prices, however, under-

went no further depression.
EAsr INDlA.—Bengal, low to fine white at 82s 61 to
86s, midd grayish yellow Ils 6d to 82. i, damps and washed
79s 6d to 84s 6d per cwt; good brown at 244 6d, and
:nidd yellow 25s to 25s 6d. In Java prices have been
maintained. Siam 253 to 28s 6d for white and 23s 68 to
25a for brown and yellow.
FOREIGN.—For yellow Havana purchases cannot be
made at lower prices. 1,164 boxes (of new importation)
all taken in at 26s to 273 for mid to fine yellow. White
afloat at 355, deliverable at St. Petersburgh. Brazil at
previous rates. Macao white, at 253 9J, brown at 21s 9J,
to be delivered in Holland.
MOLASSES —There has been only a limited business
doing, but prices have been supported. The stock is
nearly 1,000 puns. less than last year at this time.
COFFEE.—Since the withdrawal of the Customs' Du-
ties Bill the British Plantation Coffee Market has been
in a very dull state. Mocha is wanted, but few parcels
are yet in the market.
This afternoon the borne consumption Coffee market was
in a dull state, and the operations were confined to the
oublie sales, which consisted of 2,036 bags Ceylon, 100
.asks, &c British Plantation, and 35 casks 1,358 bags
Java from the Cape, at which the trade evinced little de-
sire to purchase. The Ceylon was only partly disposed o
it 3s to 4s under prices when the market was at its highest
;pod and line ordinary went at 86a to 88s 6d ; of the Bri-
tish Plantation a small part only was sold at rather Lowe
Pates, middling Jamaica went at 115 s to 117 s ; Java bow-
, ver, chiefly sold at former rates, and fine yellow fetching
,iss to 703 6d.
Tea.—For Free Trade Tea a good demand has existed
since last Tuesday, and by private contract large parcels
have been disposed of for cash for actual consumption, and
an advance of id to Id has been given fur Congou and
Twankay, which have been the most in request, the former
realising 2a 28 for common quality, and the latter 2a lid
per lb. In the speculative market there has been more
activity, and prices have rdvanced to 2s 2d to 2s 21d far
Company's Congou for cash, and 24 2id to 2a 3d vsith a
ne and two month's prompt, and at which there has been
good deal of business doing. The deliveries of Tea
luring the past week have reaahed 490,000 lbs. The
Penang bds arrived at Liverpool.
At the public sales which commenced yesteday, and
laisbed this morning, there were a large attendance of the

~art of the trade to purchase, and throughout the biddings
sere brisk, particularly for black and the better descrip-
,]ons of green. Of 13,000 packages offered, 10,000 were
readily disposed cf for actual cucsumptioii, at the follow-
.ng advance on the last auctions :—viz , on Congou lid
.o 2d ; Twankay lid to 2d ; Hyson 2id to 3d ; Imperial

market rates.
To-day tame was a good demand by private contract for
Free Trade Tea of all descriptions, common Congou for
,:ash is not to be had under 23 2id, and Twankay 2s 2d
per lb, and at those rates there were generally not sellers.

o2s 31d with prompts. The market clufed with a firm
appearance.
