MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London Mercantile Journal of July 20.)
SUGAR.—The demand was brisk to-day from both grocers
and refiners, and at the public sales an advance on the rates of
Friday of is per cwt was established. 94 hhds 12 tres Barbadoes
and 276 hhds 134 barrels St. Lucia were offered, which went
off briskly, the former at 63s to 69s for middling to fine yellow,
and low 62s 6d ; the latter fetched 68s to 69s for low to fine
yellow, and good brown 57s per cwt. The total sales of the
week reach 1,100 hhds and tres.
Ma yarn us.—Two public sales were brought forward to-
day, consisting of 9012 bags, which went off briskly at an ad-
Vance on the prices established at the close of last week of 6d
to Is per cwt for yellow sorts.
EAST INDIA. The demand for white and fine yel-
low qualities of Bengal continues good, and stiff prices
are obtained, while the inferior sorts are still dull, and
remain at former rates. The public sales consisted of 6,557
bags, which went off briskly and at 6d above former rates, and
all sold; middling to good white at 66s to 71s 6d, low 64s to
655, yellow middling to fine 58s to 63s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN. —There is little inquiry for this article, and
nothing done excepting a floating cargo of mixed Bahia, the
brown at 18s., and the white at 22s per cwt, deliverable at a
near port.
REFINED.—The demand for grocery descriptions continues
active, and prices are still looking up, with very few goods ready
for delivery ; sales made in Standard Lumps at 95s to 95s 6d,
and in common brown Lumps at 93s to 94s per cwt, and upon
these terms purchases are making for delivery the next fort-
night. Crushed Sugar refined from Foreign is still in good
request, aid 30s 9d readily paid for parcels to be delivered im-
mediately.
COFFEE.—The market is still quiet, but importers are not
anxious sellers, and very little is offering. The public sales to-
day comprised only 1,002 bags Ceylon, and 56 frazils 73 bales
Mocha : the Java all sold at 66s 6,1 to 68s for good ordinary,
being the full value • the latter went at 97s to 102 s for good
ordinary yellowish, Which are full rates.
TEA.—The public sales to-day consisted of 14,000 pkgs.
There was a fair attendance of the trade, but no spirit was
evinced in the bidding, the merchants for the most part hav-
ing taxed their teas at prices equal to the sales of Tuesday last,
which the buyers were not prepared to give, consequently the
bulk of the quantity put up was bought in. The proportion
sold (about 5,600 packages) however established a decline
of Id per lb on the rates of Tuesday last for Twankay and the
lower qualities of Congo% but showed no variation worthy of
notice in other sorts. The prices at which sales were made
are as follows :—Congeu, good ordinary coarse and flat 2s 3%d
to 2s 3idY;but middling rather blackish H M kind little strong
2s aid to 2s 4id, middling blackish leaf strong Pekoe
flavour 2s 9d to 2s 11 To good blackish leaf wrong
Pekoe flavour 3s, very .-91aoice mellow Pekoe flavour
3s 1 to 3s lid; Twankay, but middling coarse and
strong burnt 2s3d to 2s 3id, but middling coarse rather flat
2a 31/2d to 2s 4d; Pouchong 2s ld to 2s 5d ; Orange Pekoe,
but middling coarse and flat 2s 7/t1 to 2s 7144, but middling
brisk burnt 2s 9d, middling strong, rather fresh scented 3s
lld to 3a 3d, and Gunpowder (Canton) good ordinary faint
2s 9161 to 2s 10d per lb. There was little business done in
Company's :Congou, and the cash price receded to 2s 31/2d
per lb.
SPIRITS.—Thero has been a slight reaction in the Rum
market this week ; a much better demand has appeared for the
lower descriptions of Rum than for some time past, and a
good business has been done. Leeward Island sorts have ad-
vanced Id per gallon, but common Jamaica has sold upon rather
easier terms. The transactions of the week are as follows :
about 100 puns Demerara 30 to 35 over proof at 3s 4d to 3s
' 8d ; 200 puns Leewards, proof to 9 over at is Ild to 2s Id, 12
to 15 over at 2s 2d to 2s 3d ; and 300 puns Jamaica, 28 to 33
over at 4s 6d to 4s 9d, 34 to 36 over at 4s 10d to 5 ,ea..th supe-
rior marks at 5s 6d to 6s per gallon. East India r trim is more
in request, but the holders require advanced prices, which
check business ; about 300 hhds of Calcutta have changed
hands at is 4d per gallon for proof strength. The Brandy
market is firth, and old vintages are sought after at rather
higher rates • 4s 8d to 4s 104 paid for first breads of 1838.
There is little inquiry after Geneva, but prices are unaltered.
i British Corn Spirits nood de.uand at 9s lid per gallon.
India
Savrerraz.—East India Rough continues in good request,
and 1,771 bags brought to public sale sold at full rates ; Cal-
cutta, 4& to 64 per cent. fetched 26s 6d to 27s ficl; Madras,
10i to si per cent. 26s 6d to 27s per cwt.
CASSIA LIGNEA.-100 chests were brought to the hammer
this afternoon, and sold at 95s to 1005 for low to good middling,
which is Is higher.
Rica—Bengal is inquired after, and 777 pockets offered by
public auction were disposed of at 12s 6d to 133 for good mid
white, being rather higher.
TA Luy. —The demand for Russian Tallow continues very
limited, to effect sales to any extent lower prices would have to
be submitted to. The nearest quotations this afternoon on
'Change were 47s on the spot, and 47s 3d for new to arrive.
OlLS.—There is little alteration to notice in the value of
common Fish Oile, and the market remains much in the same
state as last week. Southern has met a good inquiry at about
former prices, and the whole of 220 tuns offered at public sale
on Friday found buyers, fine pale at 261 lOs to 261 15., good
at 25/ 15s to 261, middling at 241 15s to 251 10s, and dark
at 241. to 241. lOs , with one lot black 23/. Cod has gone off
slowly at about the prices quoted. Pale Seal continues to be
held firmly at about 311. 153. to ns. per tun, but buyers not
being disposed to pay more than 311. 10s., we have had little
done. Sperm Oil steady, fine quality of British catch brings
951 to 961 per tun. Linseed 011--a good business has been
done chiefly for export at 28s 3d to 28s 6d, and 28s 9d
to Zsis now the price generally demanded, the crushers having
but little Oil on hand. Rare Oil remains quiet at former
quotations.
Paovisroars.—For Irish Butter there continues to be a
limited request only, but no further reduction can be quoted in
prices ; the buying has been chiefly to supply the wants of the
trade, an opinion being still very prevalent that prices will further
recede. Foreign Butter in small supply ; prime qualities go off rea-
dily at 94s to 98s per cwt. Lard in fair demand ; prices firmer
—72 s and 74s paid for prime Waterford bladdered. The Bacon
market continues very dull, but as the consumption keeps large,
and the dealers getting bare of stock, while Pigs are still
scarce in Ireland, no material reduction can be quoted in
the value of the article, and holders look for a reaction in the
demand—prime sizeable Waterford brings 60s to 635. and
Limerick 58s to 60s, landed. No business whatever done on
board, owing to the extravagant high prices asked. Irish
Hams very dull of sale, and prime small can be bought at 70s
to 74s per cwt.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sales are progressing steadily, and
with firmness : 823 chests passed auction to-day, of which
about 200 only were bought in ; the hulk of the Bengal
that passed was of ordinary and middling quality, which
went went steadily at the rates before established, viz. 3d
to 6d per lb under last sale's prices. Good and fine Kurpah
sold briskly for export at 5s to 6s 7d, while middling and ordi-
nary sold for home use at 3s 6d to 4s 94 per lb. Madras sold
at last gale's prices: 4,781 chests have now passed the hammer,
3,250 chests of which are sold.
