MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of June 12.)
SUGAR. —This afternoon there was less life in the West

India market, and only a limited demand existed for either
Grocery or Refining purposes ; the sales did not exceed
500 hhds and trs : the merchants generally remained firm,
and refused to sell except at former rates ; in some cases,
however, they submitted to a reduction of 6d as compared
with the rates of yesterday. The operations for the week
amount to 1,700 hhds and tierces.
REFINED —There has been an excellent demand for
Refined goods since we last wrote to supply the wants of
the home trade, and the supply being small, they have
been compelled to pay a further advance of 6d to is per
ewt ; standard lumps have fetched 90s, good and fine
Titters 90a to 95s ; Hambro Loaves 91s to 995, and
low to fine brown lumps Sss 6d to 89s per cwt. In Treacle
a large business has been done, and at rather higher
rates; patent and the best old make selling cur-
rently at 38s to 403, and common 36s 6d per cwt ; the supply
still not sufficient for the demand. Pieces have been in
good request, and former rates fully supported, low to fine
qualities have been sold currently at 67s to 755. Bastards
have found a free sale at last Friday's prices, common
sorts are not to be had under 603 per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar has been disposed of to a fair extent, first

quality at 34s 6d to 34s 9d. Loaves have been in steady
demand, !Olbs at 37s 61 to 383, and 141bs 375. Treacle
has sold well at 13s 61 to 14s. Bastards and pieces are
dull of sale at 183 to 265. In Dutch Crushed Sugar
there has been nothing done.
MaenlTlUS.—There has been a good demand, and the
whole of the large quantity put up to public sale, consisting
of 12,565 bags were disposed of to ready buyers at full
former rates, excepting for the lowest brown sorts, which
went is cheaper, very low dark brown sold at 51s to 50;,
low to good 60s to 655, fine 67s to 67s 61, low to fine
yellow 68s to 73a, low grey ish white dry and strong, a
' favourite mark 73s 6d, the principal part of the Sugar
offered was of low quality. The arrivals have been on a
more extended scale since we last wrote; and have amounted
to 12,100 bags : the stock is not equal to that of last year
at this period by 50,000 bags. The deliveries last week
were very large, exceeding those during the same time by
3,180 bags.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon, 3,486 bags Bengal at
public sale were all disposed of, upon the whole, at former
prices in some instances however they went a shade
cheaper; good white sold at 72s 61 to 73s 6d, middling
to good middling 70s to 72a, strong bright yellow 69s to
70s 6d, damps and washed 68; 6d to 71s 64 per cwt.
MOLASSES.—For West India the demand has been
limited this week, and the sales have not exceeded 80
puns, but holders remain firm, and the advanced rates pre-
viously established have been fully supported, low qualities
fetched 35s to 40s per cwt.
TEA.—Ccmmon Congou has been disposed of' at 2s to
2s Id, but middling and coarse qualities 2s Lkd, to 2s 21d,
blackish leaf, and good strong descriptions at 2s 3d to
to 2s 5d ; Twankay common at 2s 2d to 2s 2),d, and good
sorts at 2s 3d to 2s 4d per lb. The ma ket for Com-
pany's Congous has been very unsteady this week ; in the
early part of Monday they were done at 2s 4A-d for
cash, but towards the close of the day they, however,
declined to 2s 3d, on Tuesday to 2s Id to 2s. and
in the early part of Wednesday to 2s OAd ; they have
since rallied to 2s Id a 2s lid per lb for cash, but there
are tint many buyers. The stock of Tea here on the Ist
was 1,177,888 lbs of Black Tea, and of Green 362,354 lbs
less than it was last year at the same time. Qa4mity of
Tea shipped for England from Hong Kong and Tongkco
since July 1,1839 :-4,643,609 lbs Congou ; 21,042 Caper;
61,174 Souehong; 66 900 Pekoe ; 271,623 Orange Pekoe;
282.400 Hy son ; 45,773 Young Hyson ; 38,700 Hyson
Skin ; 1,222,907 Twankay ; 138,809 Gunpowder ; 60,000
lbs Imperial. The total quantity of Silk was 1,191 bales.
The declaration for the sales on Monday has been issued,
and contains the small quantity of only 15,637 packages, or
893,6981b5, 2891bs of which is Congou, and 57.5221bs
Twaknay. 6,000 packages of Tea, per Alexander Baring,
are also declared for sale on the 13th July.
To-day the operations in Free Trade Tea were limited,
in fact there was an increased inactivity in the market,
and prices are again rather lower. Common Congou for
cash selling at is 1114 i to 2s, and ord Twankay at 2s Id
per lb. For Company's Congou few buyers, and pri. es
have fallen to 2s Oad to 2s Oid for cash.
This afternoon the market closed very dull for all sorts
,of Tea. Company's Congou on 'Change was 2s Old to
2s 0d cash.
COFFEE.—The arrivals of all kinds of Coffee admis-
sible for home use having been large since we last wrote,
together with the heavy stocks here, have produced an in-
creased dulness in the West India market, and have caused
the merchants to be more desirous to realize ; but, al.
though they have been willing to submit to a reduction on
previous rates of 2s to 3s on all clean, and 3s to 4s for
unclean sorts, still the trade evinced little desire to pur-
chase at the public sales, which have consisted of 112
casks, 386 barrels and bags, chiefly Jamaica, nearly the
whole of which was taken in at the reduction noticed above.
This afternoon there was very little business done in
Coffee for home consumption, and the ooerations were
confined to the public sales, consisting of 24 bales Mocha,
and 934 bags Ceylon ; the former sold at 120sto 121 s 6d
for good greenish clean garbled, being its full value, the
whole of the latter was taken in, fine ordinary green at
83s to 83a 61, good ordinary pale 82s per cwt ; there
were no buyers within 2s of those rates ; the market closed
with a very flat appearance.
Cocoa.—West India at rather low rates. In Foreign
former rates rule. Guayaquil is held for 38s per cwt.
Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS,—Them has not been
much life in the Market for West India Rum this week, still
a better demand has prevailed, and a fair business has bcen
transacted at previous rates for all sorts; of Leewards 200
puns have been disposed of, proofs at 3s 7d a 3s 'lid, 2 to 4
per cent. over 3s 8d a 3s Bbl, 6 to 12 over 3s 9d a 4s, 15

The arrivals have been 407 puns and hhds since last
Friday.-1n East India and Foreign Rum nothing has
again been done.—For Brandy the demand has again
been limited for home use as well as for exportation,
and rather lower prices have been submitted to.

4s I Id. The nearest price for Bordeaux is 2s 9d per gal-
lon. Prices have been supported for Geneva, and a fair
demand has existed for export at is lid a 2s ; fine quality
for home use still commands 2s 4d a 2s 6d per gallon.
British Corn spirits are not to be had under lOs Id per
gallon, but only a limited demand has existed, the trade
not having worked off the stocks they laid iu previous to
the rise in the duty.
SPICES.—This afternoon the public sales consisted of
200 chests Cassia Lignea, 200 bags shot and 1,800 bags
Sumatra Pepper ; the former was a very indifferent par-
cel, mouldy, and imported in 183,1; it was taken in at
70s. ; shot Pepper was bought in at 41d for fine quality ;
Sumatra was all sold d under former rates, and went at
3d for good light, but stalky and dusty.

slightly improved; in the former large sales have been
made at 261 5s to 26/ 10 for Pale, and i3rowa atid.
