MARKET IN-TELLIGENCE.

( From the London New Price. Current of August 6.)
SuOart.-There has been a considerable falling off in
the demand for British PlantatiCin Sugar this week; and
the market has been in a dull state ; the great increase
in the comparative stocks of Sugar subject to -the 24s
duty, and the large shipments that rre making at
Calcutta for this market have caused both grocers
and refiners. to, purchase very sparingly,. and al-
though tlie ;merchants have submitted to a repuc-
tion, on Former rates of Is, per ctvt, still the-quantity
disposed of for the, three market days has been only 600
hhds and tis ; there have been no public sales.
,To7day the market for Weit India presented a quiet
aspect,, refiners as, well as grocers operated with much
cantion, and the limited business done was at prices in
favour .of buyers, making the decline for the week is to
is 6d,per cwt. and the total purchases only 800 hhds and
tierces ;_the greater decline has again been on the info,
rior sorts. •

fnrther given way Is per cwt, Standard Lumps at 93s a
93s 6d. Tittlers and Ilambro Loaves common 92s to

tards and Pieces ; the former we quote 13s to 15s, and
the latter 16s to 20s per cwt. Dutch Crushed Sugar at
28s on board at Amsterdam.
MAURITIUS.-This afternoon the trade operated with
caution, and at the public sale of 5,141 bags, 149 bar-
rels, &c., the biddings were languid, and.prices further
declined Is per cwt ; fine yellow sold at 63s to 655, good
mid and good 59s to 625, 'mid 57s to 58s, low dark brown
38s 6d to 40s, low to mid 43s 6d to 49s 6d, good to fine

EAST INDIA.-This afternoon the demand was limited
for Bengal, 5,742 bags, 71 casks, &c. were offered at
public sale, which went off heavily at a decline on pre-
vious rates of Is to Is 6d per cwt, fine crystalized yellow
went at 72s to 80s, fine white 69s to 70s 6d, good 66s 6d

MOLASSES.--A better demand has prevailed for West
India, and a large amount of business has.been trans-
acted at full rites, 400 puns have been disposed of, prin-
cipally Trinidad at 245.'6d. per cwt.
TEA.-This-has been a week of great excitement in
the. Tea market. Tne furious edict issued by the Em-
peror of China against the English, and the reduced
stocks of Tea in this country, caused both the trade and
speculators to come forward with increased freedom, and
for both black and green descriptions of Free Trade Tea
the demand has been extensive ; all the parcels
offered for sale have been disposed of,
the prices paid are 2:}-4. to 3d per lb, above
ails Oily ; Common Uongou in large par-
cels for cash has been disposed of at 2s 6d to 2s 6:41.d,
blackish leaf rather strong 2s 7d to 25'74-d ; Twanhay
ordinary, 2s sial to.2s 6d ; Hyson, common, 2s 9d to 2s
10d, and ordinary Snuchong 2s 2d to 2s 4d per Ib, upon
which term same of the mercants will noi,sell there being
every appearance, according to the last accounts received
frinn China, that the season's supply. of Tea has been lost,
and that which will got out will be surreptitiously. Seve-
ral orders this.week have been prevented from being exe-,
tited owing to the want of parcels offering for sale : the
total stock at all the ports is only adequate to ten months
consumption, The speculative market has been brisk,
and in Company's Congou an extensive business has been
transacted at advanced rates ; at one period sales of Com-
pany's for cash were made it 2s 7i-d to 2s 8d with
short prompts, but yesterday prices declined to 2s Id to
2s 7,-fd cash. The stock at all the ports is now only
30,000,00 lbs, of which- 6,000,000 cannot be consumed
in this country, and 11,000,0001bs are held by.the trade
and speculators, &c., consequently the quantity available
is only 13,000,0001b5. For public sale on Tuesday 9,000-
pkgs are declared. At the principal Foreign markets
stocks ure small, and prices rule high.
To-day a good demand existed for common sorts of
Free Trade Tea, and prices were firm, Gongou at 2s. 6d.
to 2s. 64-d., and Twankay 2s. 6d. per lb. but in the
better kinds there was not much business done ; the
rates previously established have been fully supported ;
Company's Congou met with attention, and a good many
purchases were made at 2s 7id cash, at which the market
close firmly.
COFFEE.-The trade has been anxious to purchase all
clean descriptiona of British Plantation Coffee this week,
but the supply being small, has materially operated
against business, and the parcels disposed of privately
have been at an advance on last waek's rates of 2s to 3s
per cwt, mid kinds however were-the most in request.
To-day the market presented a firm 'appearance, and
the demand was good from the home trade. The public
sales consisted of 373 bags Ceylon, 64 casks 95 bags
Porto Rico from the Cape, 40 casks British Plantation,
300 bales Mocha, and 477 bags East India of various
sorts ; Ceylon sold briskly at a further advance of
Is, good ordinary pale went at 755, good or-
dinary dingy coloury 76s 6d to 775, Porto Rico
went at an advance of 4s to ss, middling, in
casks at 63s 6d to 655, fine and fine fine ordinary in bags
59ss to 625. Plantation sold rather higher, Jamaica
low mid at 105 s 6d, fine fine ordinary 93s 6d, Dominica
fine fine ordinary unclean 76s to 775. Mocha was all
withdrawn ; East India sold 2s higher, and fetched
63s 6d to 64s 6d for good and fine ordinary greenish
Java, Batavia good ordinary 38s, low 35s 6d per cwt.
Privately some [parcels of Coffee were sold at similar
rates, and the market.closed with a firm appearance.
Rear, BRANDY, 'AND Hol.Lawns.-There has been
less activity,in the Rum market this week, and both
shippers and the home trade have been cautious in their
operations., Holders, however, have been firm, and the
rates, previously established have been supported ; 'the'
purchases in Jamaica have been 120 puncheons,
30 to 132 per cent over proof at 5s 2d to 5s 6d,
33, to' 35 over 5s 6d to 5s 9d, Ann marks 6s to

been 'sold at 4s 3d for 36 to 38 over proo. • In Calcutta
small sales have been made at Is '6-ial,toas 7d proof. For

rates have been paid. Sales of Cognac first brands, of the
vintage of 1836, lilidsrss 7d, and puns 5s sd, 1837 hhds
