MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London Mercantile Journal of October 5.)
SCOAL—The demand for West India Sugar has
increased, but it is still almost limited to The middling
bright grocery, anti strong grey and yellow descriptions
for refining, and a good business has been done in these
sorts, but not to the extent that it might have been,
had the supply afforded a better assortment of samples ;
the prices realised are a shade higher than last week in
most instances. Of the lower qualities, however, the
market presents a good show, but they are still com-
paratively neglected, and in most instances have been
sold 6d to is lower. Good Antigua has sold at 66s
to 66s 6d, middling and good middling Jamaica at 64s to
65," 6d, low middling St. Vincent's at 59s 6d, low mid
grey Trinidad at 655, and brown Tobago at 54s per cwt.
The transactions durinOhe week amount to about 2,900
hlids and tierces._ _

To-day the pi-:; es of West India Muscovado Sugar
was very fully maintaii,:,ed, and the demand was steady;
both the grocers and refiners were purchasers, and up-
wards of 100 libels and tierces were disposed of; the good
bright grocery sorts, however, formed the bulk of the
sales, and were rather higher.
Ily public auction 100 hhds Barbadoes sold briskly
and at Gd to is cwt advance on previous rates, viz.,
at 57s Gd to 68s for 1(11 to fine yellow, and one lot very
fine at 70s per cwt.
MATIRITIUS.—Thero was a fair demand, and at public
sale L-46 bags went rather higher for the best sorts; low
to middling yellow fetched 33s 6d to 575, good to fine 59s
to 64s 6d, and middling brown 45s to 495 6d.

in Holland.
TX.A. —The, market .was very dull and heavy._ last
weer( up to Friday, and scarcely any transactions took
place it rEP.a trade descriptions ; but the firmness dis-
played by the holders prevented any depression in
prices. On that day, however, some large public Sales
were brought forward, when a re-action took place ;
the trade oppeared more degiroita to purchase, and the
sales opened with a full moo and a brisk competition
for Wads Tett, the better sorts of which realised an ad-.
ranee of Id per lb. on previous rates, while the lower
qualities brought full prices. Green Tea however,
nearly all taken in, and at easier rater ; iovv" Gun-
powder sold 2d lower. Of 12,480 packages passt..li
auction 6,000 were sold. Congou ordinary to good or-
dinary et is 16t1 to is lid, middling to strong blackish
leaf 2s Id to is 4tl i fine 2s 5d to 2s Bkd.

more ready sale since Friday, and the cash price has ad-
vance cl to. Is, I Id. per lb. '
