MARKET IN T E LLI GEN CE.
(From the Landon New Price Current of June 22.)

SUGAR.—To-day holders of Raw Sugar appeared
desirous to realise, and pressing large quantities for
sale caused a decline to take place in the value of every
sort. There was a good business transacted in West
India both for the scale and pan, in consequence of
merchants accepting prices Is under those of Friday.
The total purchases amounted to 900 hhds and trcs. in-
cluding at public sale 167 hhds Barbadoes.
REFINED.—To-day prices declined for Refined goods,
and only small purchases were made by the home trade;
for brown grocery lumps 59s to 59s 6d was accepted, and
60s per cwt for Standard Lumps. Bonded Crushed
Sugar is cheaper, but at 32s to 32s 6d a fair business was
transacted.

MAITRITICB.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauri•
tius Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 6,966
bags; merchants were anxious sellers, and submitting to
a reduction on the rates of Friday of is to Is 6d, occa-
sioned the whole to be disposed of. _ _

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was not much de•
sire evinced to operate in Bengal Sugar, and 3,577 bags
47 chests at public sale went at a reduction on former
rates of is to is 6d per cwt, but the whole found buyers.
FOREIGN —This afternoon at public sale 217 hhds
25 barrels of St. Croix sold on lower terms. Privately
a floating cargo of yellow Havannah has been sold
at 465.

MOLASSES.—There aro few buyers of West India,
whilst the stock is on the increase, and prices arc on the
decline, the value of le w to fine quality is 19s to 22s Od
per cwt. For East India Treacle the demand has been
only for small parcels. There are sellers of Honey
lower terms, but few buyers to be met with.
COCOA.—Holders of West India have shown more
firmness this week, and have refrained from offering any
at public sale. Privately little desire has been shown
to operate in the low and middling kinds, and there are
sellers at former rates, but a good demand has been ex-
perienced for the better sorts, and full rates are paid.
Foreign is little wanted, and the tendency of prices is
downwards.

COFFEE:.—This afternoon there was no public sale of
any kind of Coffee; and by private treaty there was only
a limited quantity on offer. Ceylon of all kinds met
with attention, and a further improvement in the value
took place, it is difficult to purchase good ordinary
Native Ceylon under 3Ss per cwt.
TEA.—There has been no improvement in the value
of Congou since our last report, but the demand is
brisker, and privately a good business has been
transacted at the previous currency ; the middling
and finer kinds having been the most in request.
There is, however, a plentiful supply, and holders
are stil! willing sellers. A fair quantity of Green has
been disposed of, but upon previous low terms, and
there is a large quantity on offer ; whilst merchants are
desirous to realize. Scented Teas can be obtained at
low prices ; still few purchases have been made. None
has been offered at auction since this day week.

SAGO.—There are sellers -at a further reduction in
prices, still the contracts entered into have been cf
little moment by private treaty. Sago Flour is little
wanted.

RICE.-To-day there was little business transacted
privately in East India Rice, and the rates accepted were
rather under those that existed previously. At public
sale 588 bags Bengcl were only in part sold 6d under
previous prices.
FILUIT.—At auction 43 barrels 65 crtls Cephalonia
Currants, damaged, were only in part sold at 47s to 52s
for barrels, and at 48s to 49s for crtls, which are rather
under former rates. By private treaty there was little
business done in any kind of Fruit, and prices are on
the decline.
SPIRITS.—To-day there were sellers of East India
Rum at 2s 9d proof, Leeward Island at 3..;, and Jamaica
at 4s 6d to 5s 3d for common to fine quality; but little
dt sire was shown by exporters or the home trade to do
business.

SALTPETRE.—Rough has been in excellent demand
since we last wrote, whilst the rates obtiined have been
fully equal to those previously current; indeed the sup-
ply is not sufficient for the demand. 1,240 bags of Cal-
cutta were submitted to public competition, when the
whole were sold. For British refined the demand has
been active. Nitrate of Soda has been less dealt in ;
some parcels, however, have arrived, and others are near
at hand.
WooL.—There has been brisker demand for colonial
at the public sales, and which are still in progress; but
prices show a decline as compared with those of the last
auctions, as the quantity to be offered is yet large. In
other kinds the operations are upon a more extended
scale, but not at higher rates.
