MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( From the London Mercantile Journal of June 1.)
SUGAR. The home consumption Sugar Market
generally has remained in a depressed state, very great
reluctance still being manifested by both the grocers
and refiners to lay in stock, while the importers, par-
ticularly of Mauritius and Bengal, are yet very desirous
of realising, and continue to press large parcels by
public auction. Under present circumstances we do
not see any chance of improvement. The sales of West
India Muscovado Sugar have been confined to the actual
wants of the buyers, for which the importers have ac-
cepted a further reduction of is to is 6d per cwt in al
cases. The market closed very heavily on Friday, and
the sales of the week are estimated at 900 hhds and
tierces only.
The home market being closed for the Whitsun holi-
days, we had no transactions to-day in West India, Ben-
gal, or Mauritius. Business,
,however, will be resumed
to-morrow.
MAURITIUS.--The demand for this description con-
tinues dull unless at further reduced prices, and 5,633
bags 76 cks brought to public auction on Friday, went
quietly, and established a further reduction of is to is
6d per cwt ; low to good yellow at 59s to 645, and brown
at 48s 6d to 58s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—There is yet little demand for Foreign
,Sugar, and the Market is in a very dull state. 100 chests
brown Bahia were offered at public sale, and sold ; good
strong grey at 19s to 20s, and good strong brown at
17s 6d to 18s 6d per cwt, which prices are about is below
previous rates.
EAST INDlA.—Bengal wears a very dull appearance,
with a further reduction of is 6d to 2s per cwt. Prices
ranged as follows : low brown 50s to 51s, low and mid-
dling greyish yellow 55s to 58s, good yellow 61s, low
and middling white 61s 6d to 635, and good and fine
white 64s to 67s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—The market has become dull for Refined
Sugar, and the supply
.of goods being increased con-
siderably, prices have given way 2s per cwt ; sales of
standard Lumps have been made at 935, and even
thereat the grocers have operated with much caution.
Treacle has been in fair demand ; prices are firm,
common at 27s to 28s. Patent and Golden Syrup 27s to
30s. Bastards and,pieces are dull, and rather cheaper ;
thP fornwr has been selling at 50s to 60s, and t 1 latter
61s to 775. Bonded Crushed Sugar has sold steadily at
30s 6d ; the supply is small. Loaves dull of sale at 338
to 35s for 101 b and 141 b. Treacle brisk at 14s 6d per cwt.
