MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of January
SUGAR.—To-day West India met with attention, and a
good business was transacted in all sorts, considering the
small and indifferent assortment, the quantity sold amount-
ing to 200 hhds and tree. The rates paid were even rather
above those previously quoted, making the rise for the week
Is to 2s per cwt, and the total sales 1,520 hhds and trcs.
The market closed with a firm aspect for all kinds of raw
Sugar.
REFINED.—To- day the demand was active for refined
goods for home consumption, and further advanced rates are
paid—brown lumps selling at 64s to 655, and standard lumps
66s per cwt. For Crushed Sugar prices are firm.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with
much attention, and 6,374 bags at public sale were all sold at
a further advance in prices of is to Is 6d on grey, brown,
and'inferior yellow, and 6d to is on the better sorts of yellow.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon four parcels of Bengal
Sugar, amounting to 4,495 bags, were offered at public sale,
when the whole sold at fully former rates.
FOREIGN.—The demand has much increased for all de-
scriptions of Foreign Sugar for home consumption this week.
Merchants have confidence, and refrained from supplying the
market largely, although buyers paid advanced rates with
eadiness. By private contract many purchases have been
made in all kinds, and the rates given exhibit a rise on those
that existed previous •to the holidays of is 6d to 2s for Java,
Is for Manilla, is to is 6d for yellow Havannah, Gd to is for
white, and is for brown and white Brazil.
MOLASSES.—A considerable increase has taken place in
the demand for all descriptions of West India this week, and
arise in the value of is per cwt took place. The quantity
sold amounted to 400 puns, and the operations would have
been upon a larger scale had it not been for the reluctance of
merchants to sell. The demand has been partially specula-
tive, founded on the faith of Molasses being used in the dis-
tilleries and breweries without restriction. _

COFFEE.—An increased desire has been manifested to
operate in West India this week, merchants have confidence,
and supplied the market sparingly with all sorts. In the
lower descriptions a good business has been transacted, and
at an advance on the rates of the last public sales of 2s to
3s per cwt. Midding and good qualities have been much
sought after, and advanced prices are offered, but there is
little remaining in first hands.
TEA.—In the early part of the week the home trade were
desirous to operate in black Tea, a good business being
transacted in all descriptions at full rates, but merchants were
unable to obtain any advance, in consequence of the quantity
on offer being rather large. Green was disposed of to a fair
extent, but not at better prices. _

SPICES.--A large bu-siness has been transacted by
private contract, and merchants have obtained prices
they could not previously. At public sale only 1,738 bags
of Malabar have been offered. In White several purchases
have been made privately, and prices are firmer ; there
being a less quantity on offer. The supply of Pimento is
scanty, and being much in request, buyers are compelled to
pay 4d to 4id privately. The supply is on the decrease of
Ginger, and having a good demand privately, quotations
rule firm for all kinds. For Cassia Lignea there are
few buyers, and the tendency of prices is downward,
arrivals being near at hand. Nutmegs are little wanted,
and holders are inclined to realise. Mace is still in demand.
Cloves are little wanted, and previous rates cannot be ob-
tained. Cassia Buds met with less attention, and can be
obtained upon easior terms. Cinnamon of good and line
quality fetch full rates, and is wanted, but there are few
buyers of inferior.
SPIRITS.—In Jamaica the purchases made for home con-
sumption and exportation have been extensive, and several
parcels were taken on speculation. Demerara met with ready
purchasers, and the sales amount to 150 puns. Leeward
Island is much wanted, and the prices offered are 4d to 5d
above those previously current. Calcutta met with a free
sale at 3d to 4d a gallon. In Brandy a good deal has been
done in all sorts, and at higher rates. Geneva met with a
much better delnat?d, and prices advanced from 2s 7d to 2s 8d
for common shipping sorts, and 3s 2d to 3s fid for fine for
home consumption. For British Corn Spirits the demand is
active, and supplies being but moderate, together with the
high rates of grain, caused the distillers to advance the price
of all descriptions—the quotation for Corn' Spirits being now
Its 9d, Scotch and Irish I is 8d nett cash. English Gin, 22
per cent under proof, lOs 3d, and 17 under lOs 9d per gallon.
INDwo.—The quarterly sale of East India will take place
on the..9th of February; at present 1,355 chests are declared;
but it i 8 estimated that in all B,OOQ chesty Will be offered.

Holders are very firm, and insist upon an advance on the
rates of the last auctions of 2d to 4d per Ib, and at which es;
porters and the home trade have taken a fair quantity of all
descriptions.
RlCE.—Holders of Bengal have confidence, and supply the
market sparingly with all descriptions, as the deliveries are
going on highly satisfactorily, and the stock being on the
decrease. Privately a large business has been transacted if;
all sorts, chiefly for home consumption, and further advanced
rates are freely paid.
COCMINEAL.—Phis afternoon Cochineal met with a goo, a
demand, and 109 bags of Honduras, at public sale, win at
is 7d to 5s II d for silvers, being a further rise of Id to 2d. ,
OlLS.—There
s.—There has been little desire manifested to operate
Cod Oil this week, and having a fair supply, prices have
assumed a downward tendency. Seal has been in exeellent
request, and a further rise in the value must be quoted. Na
further advance ;occurred in the value of Southern, but s
good demand existed, and the stock is small. In Spell"
several purchases were made, and prices ruled fire
For Olive a brisk demand prevailed, and prices are still
rising, whilst the stock is diminishing. Cocoa Nut la is
small supply, and quotations are still rising. Palm has be"
largely dealt in, and holders manifest much firmness. in
Rape Seed Oil a good deal has been done, and quotation',
rule firm. Linseed Oil being still plentiful, any advance iA
the value has been prevented from taking place.
TALLOW.—Holders of Russian have manifested much
firmness this week; the town and country trade are desiroa6
to further increase their stocks, and the rates paid are rathd
above t hose previously current. On the spot large parcels have
been disposed of and 51s 6d to 51 9d paid for fine Petersburg,'
yellow Candle. For forward delivery, however, there are
not many buyers at present to be met with, and for the
last three months of the year 45s 6d to 46s is the value.
Home made has been largely dealt in at 51s 6d to 52s nett
cash. All other sorts of Tallow are in good demand, and the
rates paid are rather above those previously current, wh.il4
there is but a moderate supply.

THE HOSIERY TRADE.--The cotton hosiery trade,:
especially the cut-up branches, continues in a declining
state. The wrought ootton hose branches are better,
and they are not considered retrograding, though we arti
in
.the depth of winter. The drawer and pantal°%
branch keeps in the state in which it has been for 501"
time past, having evidently more hands than are wanted'
but upon the whole, we believe no stocks are acco63l
lating, the demand being equal to what is produced, allt
from what is going on at Godalming, we have gre'v
hopes of this manufacture. The hosiery trade in inari
departments is slowly increasing in London. The
glove branch is in a most lamentable condition, etr°:„:1),

-contrasting with the spring of last year, when the 3is
neymen were at a premium. The cotton glove trade
much better than the silk branch, and seems likely to
continue se.—Nottingham Review.
