MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of April 23.)
SUGAB.—To-day, although the importers of raw Sugar
were willing to allow the trade 6 per cent discount, still this
event slid not cause any improvement in the demand; and
prices again went down, and the various public sales pro-
ceeded with heaviness.
REFINED.—To-day a fair amount of business was trans-
acted in Refined goods by the home trade, but there was an
evident desire on the part of the Refiners to sell at 63s 6d
for standard lumps, and 62s 6d to 63s for brown grocery.
Bonded Crushed sugar is offered upon furl her reduced terms
—still meeting with much attention, and 343 to 35s per cwt
is the value.
MA unrrius.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced
to operate in Mauritius Sugar, and of 9,478 bags at public
sale, not above a third part ound buyers, although holders
submitted to a reduction on former rates of ls., making the
decline for the week 18.6 d. to 2s. per cwt.
Easy INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar
offered at auction amounted to the large quantity of 7,969
bags. Merchants were anxious sellers, and submitting to a
reduction on former rates of is to 2s per cwt, caused nearly
the whole to be disposed of.
FOREIGN. —This afternoon there was no public sale of any
kind of Foreign Sugar ; but privately two floating cargoes of
white Havannah were sold, supposed to be at low prices.
MOLASSES.—The purchases made in all sorts of West India
have been to a small extent, and there is a desire to sell at
20s to 235, and fine quality at 24s to 255. At auction 330
casks of erto Rico were taken in at 26s for good quality,
which is above the value. For Bengal Treacle the demand
has been limited, and 22s to 24s is the value of low to fine.
For Honey prices are moving downwards.
COCOA.—There has been little desire evinced to operate in
West India, and prices have still a downward tendency—red
being obtainable at 53s to 63s for common to fine, and grey
at 503 to 56s per cwt. Foreign is dull of sale, and easier
to buy.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced to
operate in Coffee. The public sales of 628 bags of Planta-
tion Ceylon, 52 bales of Mocha, 240 bags East India, and
27 barrels of Jamaica were all postponed, in consequence of
the trade insisting upon a discount of 6 per cent. The ten-
dency of prices is evidently downwards.
TEA.—None has been submitted to public sale since this
day week ; but privately the market Is plentifully supplied
with black and green. Holders do not appear disposed to
submit to any further decline in prices ; but the purchases
made in all sorts have been to a small extent only.
RICE.—To-day there was much desire evinced to operate
in East India Rice; at public sale 2,873 bags of Bengal were
offered, and all sold with spirit at an advance on former rates
of Is.
SPICES.—Tbere are sellers of Pimento rather under pre-
vious rates. Holders of Black Pepper manifest more firm-
ness, and have refrained from offering any at public sale
this week. White has been sparingly dealt in, although
low and middling can be obtained at .31d to 4d, and better
quality 4id to 6d the supply is yet goesilln Cinnamon, good
and fine are held at former rates. Cassia Lignea is wanted,
and buyers are compelled to pay stiffer rates. Cassia Buds are

OILS.—The contracts concluded in Olive Oil this week by
exporters and the home trade have been to a small extent,
although there are sellers upon rather lower terms. Palm
has been only in limited request by the home trade, but
holders are firm. The stiff rates that are insisted upon for
Cocoa Nut causes the trade to operate with caution, and only
small parcels have been disposed of at 48s to 50s for good to
fine. There are not many buyers of Rapeseed Oil, and the
Crushers are desirous to sell. Prices have ruled firm for
Linseed Oil on the spot this week. For forward delivery
however, few contracts have been concluded, although there
are sellers at 26s 3d to 26s 6d. A fair amount of business
has been transacted in Southern Oil, but holders have been
compelled to take previous rates for all qualities. For Cod
a good demand exists, but 271 to 271 lOs are the rates taken.
In consequence of the scanty supply of Seal prices
remain high, but the trade operate with much caution. For
Sperm the demand is less active—still holders ask 92/. to
921 5s for fine British, and 89/ to 911 for fair to fine
American. Lard Oil is little wanted, and can be obtained
at 43s to 48s per cwt.

KILMARNOCIC.--TRADE.—The trade in woollen
bonnets has been depressed during the whole winter, nor can
any general revival be yet intimated. The only manufac-
tures at all busy are those who are executing orders for the
army. In carpets the Brussels fabrics are in request, but
Scotch are getting even slacker than they have been. The
printworks are improving, and individual works are more
than usually busy. Masons and joiners, and other trades-
men, are in request, and receive high wages. Labourers of
all kinds readily find employment. Shoemakers and tailors
are suffering from slackness of demand in their depart.
ments, and it is expected that the wages of the latter will
be reduced.—Kilmarnock Journal.
FIFESIIIRE.—THE FISIIING.—ST. MONACE, APRIL
17.--This week our shallow-water fishing has been attended
with great success. Haddocks of an excellent quality have
been caught here this week. There has been, however, a
great destruction of lines, the tides being so rapid and the
ground rocky where the fishinghasbeen. The fish havebeen on
herring spawn. There has been a great body of herrings on our
shore this season, which have passed away without our
fishermen every trying. Our fishermen are generally too
premature in their movements. They tried the herring-
fishing before the fish were properly on the ground, and not
meeting the encouragement anticipated, they dropped before
the time. The weather has been good during the week ;
wind prevailing from the eastward. Price, on Saturday,
Is. 2d. per dozen.— Weekly Register.
A young woman, the only daughter of a rich shop-
keeper in the Rue des Lombards, threw herself into the Seine,
on Sunday, from Pont Marie, in order to avoid a marriage
which displeased her. She was carried rapidly down by the
current, and, the instinct of life prevailing, she seized a ring
hanging from the quay wall, and was soon after rescued by
some boatmen,—Paris Paper.
