MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of April 23. )
SUGAR.—The prices of West India Raw Sugar have again
-riven way fully is per cwt, and the market has been very dull
until yesterday, when a slight re-action took place in the
demand, the grocers being very bare of stock, still there
is not the slightest animation in the trade, and the
transactions since this day week are very trivial, bei -g
confined to the bare wants of the buyers ; the superior
qualities are, however, still scarce, and are better sup-
ported than the lower sorts : low and middling dry Berbice
and Dsmerara have sold at 62s to 655, and very law damp
own at 60s per cwt. The first public sale of the new crop
of th:badoes was brought forward on Tuesday ; it consisted
of 150
and drew together a good many persons interest-
edbut the biddings were very languid, and a part

very heavy, and the few lots that

-es again in favour of the buyers
changed, hands were at pr.,
k full 2s per cwt in nearly
and all
making the fall during the Wt.. ,
cases ; the total business done tssoes not exceed 800 hhds
tierces.
PbEFlNED.—Refined Sugars for horns' consumptioi are in
limited demand, and the market is flat at tse reduced quota-
tions.,ci
For shipping theresis but little doing, au, first quality
of fine crushed is freely offered at 31s.
MA RITIITS--The dispute between the merchant .and the
wholesale dealers as to the mode of selling the article, is not
yet arranged, and in consequence prices are very irregulaa's

good yellow at 65s to 685, low yellow 635, and low to fine
brown 49s to 54s per cwt.
EAST INDIA. —The prices of Bengal Sugar must again be
quoted is to Is 6d per cwt lower, still the grocers are very
cautious, and are not disposed to take more than suffi-
cient to meet their actual wants; good white went at
684 6d to 695, good middling white at 66s to 66s 6d, and good
yellow at 62s 6d to 63s per cwt. Java and Siam are very little
inquired after; prices must be considered quite nominal. Ma-
nilla is also dull of sale, and 10,974 bags put up to public auc-
tion went heavily, a part only being disposed of, and at lower
prices, viz. low brown at 16s to 17s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—The demand for all descriptions of Foreign
Sugar continues dull, and generally prices are full is per cwt.

to 3ls Gd per cwt., upon which terms some small parcels have
changed hands privately. Yellow Havannah 22 to 24s for low to
good fair quality. Brazils, low soft kinds are very much depressed,
while 1,691 bags 121 chts 23 brls went off without the least
spirit and at low prices. Paraiba ordinary to good mid white

lower, and the demand is very limited : sales have been made
privately in St. Kitts and Demerara at 26s to 27s per ewt.
COFFIEE.—The demand for West India Coffee has improved
this week, and the market has presented a rroas animated ap-
pearance, with a small advance in price for the middling clean
sorts. Sales went off with more spirit than the auctions of
last week, but some of the unclean sorts were bought in much
above their value, Jamaica fine and fine ord. 90s to 106 s, ord.
and good ordinary at 70s to 78s, St. Lucia fine ordinary at 85s
6d to 86s 63, and Dominica fine and fine fine ordinary at. 8.5 s

are no sellers upon late terms, and nothing of consequence has
been done. Other descriptions at Is to 2s higher prices in some

nary pale Java at Ms 6d, and good ordinary Rio at 40s per cwt.
There was no public sale of any description of Coffee to-day,
but there were inquiries after the clean and useful sorts for
home use, which brought full previous rates.
COCOA.—For West India sorts lower prices must be ac-
cepted, to make sales. Foreign is scarce, and brings high
prices. Guayaquil at 44s per cwt.

steady during the week, both from the town and county trade,
and prices have been well supported ; parcels of low
and fine common Congou have changed hands for cash
at Is sid to is 6id per lb. No parcels have
been brought to public sale, and nothing presses on the market
privately. Company's Congou was in good request in the
early part of the week, and the prices advanced to Is ss-d per lb.
cash ; but during the last day or two the demand has fallen off,

proof East India has brought Is 6d, at which price about
150 hhds have been sold, and of Foreign a parcel 7 per cent
over-proof has been sold at is per gallon. Brandy is more
in demand, fine marks especially, and an advance of Id to 2d per
