MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of May 14.)
SUGAI{.—To-day any further advance in the value of RA
Sugar was arrested by the increased quantities brought I
market, still all parties were desiroua to operate, and ti
supply did not exceed the demand. The biddings wet
spirited at the various public sales', 'West India was dispose
of to a fair extent, and all kinds sustained the former worth
the quantity sold was 45011thds, making the total sales fc
the week 1,870 hhds and trcs—the rise during that tim
has amounted to Gd to is per cwt.
REFINED.—A considerable improvement has taken plac
in the demand for Refined Sugar for home consumption thi
week, and prices have risen is 6d to 2s per cwt, althougl
the supply is good, and the refiners continuing to wort
freely, with every probability that they will keep so, as price
are very encouraging. All descriptions have been exten
sively dealt in by the town and country trade.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in ex'
cellent demand, and the parcels offered at public sale
amounting to 6,180 bags and 145 chests, were sold, but
some cases at easier rates.

Manarrius.—This afternoon the quantity of Maurititil
Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amounted t
10,522 bags, still the demand was active, and the whol
sold at prices, in some cases, rather under those that existe
previously.
FORF:IGN.—This afternoon at public sale 210 hhds Port
Rico Sugar were taken in—low yellow at 45s 6d to 465, midl
dling 47s to 48s, good 48s 6d.
COCOA.—For Foreign prices continue high, but there art
not many buyers, and 43s to 45s is the value of grey Guayat
quil. British Plantation has been operated in with caution;
there is a better supply. On Tuesday 214 bags of Grenada at
auction were taken in at 52a for middling rather dull red, and
at 51s for dull ditto, being about the previous value. The
arrivals are exceeding those of the previous season.
COFFEE.—This afternoon at public sale 133 bags of Plan,
tation Ceylon were sold, but at barely former rates, viz—low
mid colory 58s to 60s, fine fine ord 53s to 565, and damaged
503 to 56s 6d; 141 brie Mocha were taken in—good yellow
long berry at 755, mid 70s, low mid mixed greenish 58s;
3 trcs Jamaica fine fine ord 58s 6d ; 422 bags of Mysore,were
taken in at 30s to 35s for ord and good ord mixed. Nativ
Ceylon is wanted, and good ordinary at 375.
TEA.—There has been more desire evinced to operate in
Congou this week, and a fair quantity of all kinds have been
disposed of by private treaty ; but holders have bean free
sellers upon reduced terms, and the supply is plentiful.
Pouchong is little wanted, and is offered upon rather lower
terms In the low and mid sorts of Green several purchases
have been made : but in some cases rather lower rates are
again taken ; fine and good sorts have been sold to a fair ex-
tent, but at better prices. For scented Tea the market is
very dull, and prices are looking down. The trade are com-
plaining of the low rates at which Tea is selling.
SPICES.—TO-day at public sale 138 boxes of Cassia Lignea
were taken in at 56a 6cl for good ordinary third pile, which is
above the value. 193 bags Pimento sold at rather lower
rates. Mace is less wanted, and at public sale 20 chests went
2d per lb under former rates. For Nutmegs the demand is
not so good, and 67 chests 15 bags went at a fall on former
rates of 2d to 3d. Of Malabar Pepper 371 bags went at 34d
;hr good heavy. 411 bags of Cloves were taken in at Bi-d to
1d for Zanzibar and Bourbon.

Rica.—To-day the market was plentifully supplied with
East India Rice, and there being little desire evinced to
operate, a fall in the value of most sorts took place. At
auction 2,538 bags of Madras were offered, but a part only
found buyers at 3d to 6d decline for yellow and pinky white
—the best white, however, brought full rates.
SAGO.-Although there are sellers upon rather lower
terms, yet the amount of business transacted has been to a
small extent only by private treaty, and at auction 780
chests of small Pearl were taken in at 30s to 31s 6d for good
white, and at 32s per cwt for fine. Sago Flour is wanted.
Tapioca sells more freely at 3d to 4.14 d. Arrowroot is yet
little wanted.

COCHlNEAL.—lmporters continue to be eager sellers, and
submitted to further reduced rates for every kind, yet ex-
porters and the home trade operated with reluctance, and the
quantity brought to market exceeded their wants. Prices
are much lower than they were in 184 G at this time.
Hors.—The market has an improving appearance for all
descriptions of Hops ; in the better sorts large purchases have
been made, and at rather higher rates; whilst in the lower
kinds a fair business has been done, and in some cases at
better prices.
SPIRITS.—AII descriptions of Rum have met with increased
attention, and a further improvement in the value has taken
place. In all sorts of Jamaica a good business has been
transacted by exporters and the home trade at prices show-
ing an advance on those of last Friday of 2d per gallon. The
total sales amount to 500 puns. Demerara has been in ex-
cellent demand, and it is 2d to 3d dearer than on Friday last.
Leeward Island is much wanted, but business has been much
interfered with by the advanced rates insisted upon. East
India has been sold to a fair extent at the advanced rates of
3s ld to 3s 2d for proof Calcutta. Brandy has been operated
in with caution for all purposes, and there is a strong desire to
realise, as the stock is very large. and arrivals neat at hand.
Geneva is wanted for exportation, and prices are higher.
Fine for home use in good demand. For British Corn Spirits
the demand is very goal. Gin cannot at present be quoted
higher.
INDIGO.—To-day 874 chests have passed the sale. Dur-
ing the progress proprietors have again withdrawn 797
chests. There was decidedly more disposition on the part of
buyers to come forward, and more briskness in the biddings,
but although we cannot quote any improvement on ordinary
and defective descriptions of Bengal. the prices of good and
sound sorts were a shade higher than on the three previous
days. The quantity bought in this day is 132 chests. 6,750
chests have now passed the sale, of which 2,250 chests are
sold.
Oils.—This afternoon, at public sale, 142 pkgs of Cocoa
Nut Oil fetched 48s to 48s 9d for fine. 85 tuns Sperm in
part sold at 881 to 891 158 for Colonial, and 911 for Head-
matter. 127 tuns of Southern sold at 26/ to 271. 103 forgood
and fine, and at 241 to 251 103 for low and middling.
nett
home-made 46s 6d to 47s have been taken
Russian on the supply being large, and the demand limited
in the spot at present has not suffered a further de-
clinevalue, but the trade have operated with reluct-
ance at 47s to 47s 6d per cwtlon the spot for fine Petersburgh
Yellow Candle, but lower rates are expected to prevail. for
delivery in the last three naonths of the year there has been
only a small amount ofbusiness done at 45s to 45s 6d per
cwt. All other kinds of Talow are heavy of disposal.
