done by the. Legislature or the Government. Ha spoke
of that political economy which would never listen to
reason on this subject., which carried its doctrine
to such an extreme, that it could not be applied to the
simplest thing. To illustrate this, he would refer to the
argument made use of by the Hon. Member for Corn-
wall that the House ought not to interfere with the labour
of young persons working in factories, because it did not
interfere with the male servants in the city of London.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of January 26.)

SUGAR.—To-day importers of raw Sugar were desirous to
realise, and bringing forward large parcels, produced a de-
cline in the value of all descriptions, whilst buyers were not
incline to operate largely. In West India Muscovado the
business transacted in the private market was very
limited in all sorts, and at rather lower rates. The private
purchases amounted to 20 hhds and trcs ; but at public sale
255 hhds 12 trcs and 39 brls of St. Lucia were all disposed
of, in consequence of merchants submitting to a reduction
on the prices of Friday of is per cwt.
REFINED.—To day the refiners generally did not appear
disposed to lower their prices ; but the home trade operated
with caution in all sorts. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for
36s per cwt; but thereat there are not many buyers.
MAURATIUS.—This afternoon two large parcels of Mau-
ritius Sugar, amounting to 13,599 bags, 441 casks, and 145
tierces, were submitted to public competition. The mer-
chants were desirous to sell all descriptions; but submitting
to a fall on the rates of Friday of is to is 6d per cwt, occa-
sioned nearly the whole to be disposed of, a part being taken
by the brewers and distillers.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon five parcels of Bengal Sugar,
amounting to 4,409 bags, were offered at public sale ; but
the demand was less active, and a part only found purchasers
at a decline on the rates of Friday of 6d to is per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar was less sought after by
exporters, the home trade, and speculators; but former rates
were generally insisted upon. None was offered at public
sale. _ _ .

PdOLASSF.S.—This afternoon only small parcels of West
India Molasses were sold by private treaty at 24s to 28s for
low to fine quality. At public sale 167 casks of Bengal
Molasses only partly sold at 26s to 26s 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—To-day there was a much better demand for
Native Ceylon, and at the advanced rates of 41s 6d to 42s
many parcels of good ordinary were sold privately. Fine
Plantation is much in request, and brought better prices.
Spices.—Black Pepper is still attracting attention, and
the rates paid have been fully equal to those previously
current. Privately a good business has been transacted.
Malabar was disposed of, fair good heavy brown 28d to 31d,
and damaged 21jd to 3d per lb. White brought rather
higher rates, and several purchases were made privately.
Cassia Lignea is little wanted. Cassia Buds brought
very full rates. Nutmegs have been dealt in with
caution, and prices tend downwards. Mace is held for 3s to
4s, and but few purchases have been made. Ginger of all
sorts is wanted, and the parcels sold privately were at better
prices. There are several buyers of Pimento, and at stiff
rates; but little is to be had. Cloves are offered upon mode-
rate terms : still few buyers are to be met with.
_ _

Sruirrs.—To-day a -fair amount of business was trans-
acted in Rum at stiff rates, proof Leewards selling at 4s, and
East India 38 10d per gallon, proof strength.
SALTPETLE.—Importers of rough are still willing sellers,
and they submitted to a reduction on previous rates of 6d
per cwt.; still a good demand prevailed. British Refined
still sells freely at 30s 6d to 31s, but at which rate the
Refiners are more inclined to receive contracts. For
Nitrate of Soda a good demand prevailed at 17s to
17s 6d per cwt, and the stock is still on the decrease.
OILS.— Prices have not improved for Cod Oil, as merchants
are willing sellers. Seal has been more freely dealt in by
the home trade, but there is scarcely any export demand;
there is a fair supply, still prices are firm. Southern is wanted,
and no further decline in price has taken place. Sperm is in ex-
cellent request, and previous improved rates are well sustained.
In Olive Oil extensive purchases have been made, and
prices still tend upwards. Rape Seed Oil has been
sold to a large extent, and at firm rates. There is
still only a small supply of Cocoa Nut Oil, and it
being much wanted, prices rule high. Palm cannot be
quoted much dearer, but large purchases have been made.
Linseed Oil is less pressed for sale, although there is yet a
plentiful supply, but the home demand is on the increase.
For forward delivery the operations are upon a more extended
scale. The tendency of prices is upwards. In Lard Oil se-
veral purchases have been made at 441. to 461. per tun.
TAnnow.---Holders of all descriptions generally have con-
fidence, and supply the market sparingly, although prices
rule high. The rates paid for Russian on the spot have been
nearly equal to those previously current. Sales to a fair ex-
tent have been made for delivery in the next two months at
51s 9d to 525, and for October, November, and December
several contracts were concluded at 45s 6d to 465. Home-
made is still much in request, and fetch the high rates of 52s
to 535, nett cash.
