MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 15.)
SUGAR.—To-day a further fall took place in the value
of all kinds of Raw Sugar, as merchants were free
sellers, and all parties showing little disposition to do
business. West India Muscovado was operated in to a
moderate extent, both for scale and pan; whilst easier
rates were taken, and the sales amounted to 680, mak-
ing the total quantity sold for the week 1,970 hhds and
trcs, whilst the fall in the value during that time
amounted to 6d to is per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day further reduced rates were taken
for refined goods, still the home trade operated with re-
luctance, and prices closed at 52s 6d to 53s for standard,
and 51s 6d to 52s for brown grocery lumps. Bonded
crushed Sugar sells readily at 28s 6d to 29s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was only
in limited request, and 3,251 bags at auction went at a
decline on former rates of Is, the chief part sold.
Madras met with little attention, and 3,077 bags were
only in part sold at easier rates, or at a fall on the prices
of the last public sale of is to Is 6d.
MA URITIIIS.—This afternoon importers of Mauritius
Sugar were willing sellers, and 4,788 bags, 228 csks and
78 trcs went at a further fall in the value of 6d to is
per cwt.
FOREIGN.—There has been a decrease in the export
demand for all descriptions of Foreign Sugar this week,
and although there are sellers at rather lower rates,
still the purchases made by private treaty have been
upon a small scale only. The home trade operated with
caution, and the demand from our refiners working under
bond has been trifling. The supply is yet plentiful of
all kinds, and on the part of merchants there is much
desire manifested to sell.

COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was operated
in with caution, and 147 bales 23 half ditto at auction
went at full rates for fine, but other kinds sold at rather
lower prices; fine yellow went at 71s to 795, good 63s Gd
to 66s Gd, middling 57s Gd to G Is, low middling 555,
good ordinary 51s 6d, triage 14s 6d to 3186 d, and da-
maged 14s to 565. The market for good ordinary Native
Ceylon is dull at 33s per cwt.
Cocos.—Although West India is offered upon further
reduced terms, still all kinds have been sparingly dealt
in, and 338 bags of Trinidad at auction were only in
part sold. Foreign is not much required, but as the
stock is nearly all in the hands of one party, we have
little variation to make known in the value, and 35s to
39s is the worth according to quality.
TEA.—Although Congou can be obtained at a further
reduction in the value, still all kinds have been operated
in with much caution privately, although prices have
given way during the last three week id for low and
middling kinds, and lid to 2d per lb for good to fine ;
still the town and country trade only purchase sufficient
for their present use, low as prices arc, and large as
the consumption is. Pouchong is dull of sale, the ten-
dency of prices is downwards. Shong is e re-
quired, and can be obtained upon ouc
rather lower terms.
Green is dull of sale, and there are sellers at a further
reduction in prices, malting the decline during the last
three weeks id to ld on common, and 2d to 3d on the
better sorts: still the purchases have been to a limited
extent only in all kinds. For Pekoe Tea the market
has a dull appearance, and there are sellers upon low
terms,
RICE.—To-day East India Rice was operated in with
much caution privately, and 1,364 bags Bengal at public
sale were only in part sold at a fall on former rates of
6d, good bold white but rather dusty selling at 13s 6d
to 14s.

SPICES.—The supply of Cassia Lignea continues to be
small, and all descriptions being much in demand, buyers
are compelled to pay further advanced rates. None has
been submitted to public competition, whilst the stock in
