table description of food. In Pernambuco it is eaten by all
classes of the people, without excetion, and its price yarns
,from 11.125. to 1/. Bd. per imperial quarter'

MARKET INTELLIGEIN 'CE.
(From the London New Price Current of A ray 70
SUGAR.—To-dav there was an increased desire t manifested
to purchase raw Sugar of all kinds for home et flsumption,
and exporters came into the market with more freedom ; the
consequence was that merchants manifested greater firmness,
and a general 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 on
former rates of Is.
MA URITI ca.—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 is
for refining, and 6d to is per cwt for grocery sorts.
FOREIGN.—To-day a floating cargo of brown Bahia 'sold
at 23s per cwt.
blot.AssEs.—Prices have not improved for West India; but
the demand for all sorts has been good. Bengal Treacle is
little wanted. Honey is not much in request.
COFFER. -,-Tll iS 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 4,f 3s. For
Ceylon the market has a dull appearance, and 70 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 ,olFered at
public sale: but privately there is a large quantit}• on offer
ot 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 forme... rates.
In Congou there has been little passing, and prices are on
the decline. For all other sorts ot Tea the market is dull.

RICE.—To -day there was much excitement in the market
fur East India Rice : and at public auction 4,139 bags B•ati-
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.
SPIRITS —lmporters are not so desirous to realise as they
were. The good and fine qualities of Jamaica have met
with a good demand this week, and brought full rataLs, 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 ate 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.
... . _

SALTPETBE.—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.

281 ss; 30 tuna of Seal partly sold, pale 331, and yellow
26/ lOs 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
47s 6d per cwt are the rates accepted for fine Petersburgh
Yellow Candle. For delivery in the last three months of the
year a good demand, however, existed ; 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, ail
the supply is yet plentiful.
