MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(Front the London New Price Current of August 13.)

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation was in a
dull state in the early part of the week, both grocers and
refiners operating with much caution, and for Tuesday
and Wednesday the private sales did not exceed 500 hhds
and trcs, and the prices accepted were 6d per cwt under
those of last week : at auction on the former day
90 hhds 10 trcs Barbadoes were only partly disposed
of, good and fine sorts sustained the former value, but
common went rather cheaper, fine yellow fetched 68s 6d
to 70s, good 65s to 675, middling to good middling 63s to
64s 6d, low Gls per cwt. Yesterday for middling to fine
yellow descriptions previous rates were sustained, but
low and brown sorts met with little attention, Jamaica
strong low middling grey with a few brown at 60s, Tri-
nidad middling yellow 61s 6d, Jamaica rather better
62s 6d, good middling 64s 6d, Antigua fine middling 65s
6d per cwt; with good and fine yellow samples the market
is scantily supplied.
To-day buyers operated less freely in West India
Sugar, and the demand was limited for both brown and
yellow sorts. The market closed with a quiet appear-
ance, and the prices accepted show a decline on those of
Friday last of Is., excepting for fine yellow sorts,
which cannot be quoted more than 6d per cwt lower,
the supply of such being small ; the total purchases for
the week amount to 1,400 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—In Refined Goods this week, prices have
further given way 2s to 2s Gd per cwt ; Standard Lumps
at 90s 6d to 91s. Hamburg Loaves and Tittlers common
90s Gd to 925, good 93s to 965, fine 97s to 104 s, brown
lumps ordinary 86s to 88s, good to fine 89s to 90s per
cwt. Pieces of good and fine descriptions at 67s to 78s,
common at 61s to 635, middling 64s to 663 per cwt.
Bastards, fine sorts at 58s to 61s, good 53s to 575, low to
middling 47s to 52s per cwt. Treacle common at 25s
Gd to 26s ; Patent 27s to 31s ; Golden Syrup 32s to 355,
and best od make 30s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar
at 303 per cwt. Loaves have been in good demand, 10
lbs at 33s 6d to 345, and 141bs 32s Gd to 33s per cwt.
Treacle in fair demand at 13s 3d to 13s Gd, but
Bastards and Pieces move off slowly, the former at 13s
to 15s, and the latter at 16s to 2ls per cwt. Dutch
Crushed Sugar at 28s. on board in Holland.
This afternoon the trade operated with caution ; 3,593
bags at public sale went off quietly, 2,300 bags consisted
of inferior brown from Sydney, and went 3s to 4s under
former rates, very low dark brown went at 3Gs 6d to
395, low middling 405 to 445, good and fine 545 to 555, the
other parcels went at Gd to is decline, middling to good
yellow selling at 36s to 60s, fine 62s to 63s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal was only in
limited request, and 3,489 bags at public sale went off
slowly, prices gave way ls, and in brown sorts the de-
cline was 2s per cwt, nearly the whole was however sold,
viz. middling white at 62s to 635, good middling 64s to
65s 6d, good to fine 6Gs to 71s 6d, low to middling brown
40s to 455, very ordinary in cases 30s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—White Havannah at 31s 6d to 33s for mid-
dling and good strong quality. For yellow the demand
continues gradually to improve, fair quality, but of old
import, at 21s to 21s Gd per cwt. For Brazil previous
rates have been supported. Bahia low grey at 225, good
middling white 245, and brown 17s 6d per cwt. Porto
Rico at 20s to 20s Gd for good strong quality.
COFFEE.—For all clean descriptions of British Plan-
tation Coffee there has been an excellent demand this
week, both to supply town and country orders, but the
merchants having supplied the market freely have pre-
vented any further advance, excepting for mid and good
sorts, which have brought prices rather above those of
this day week.

'.Chi' afternoon there was less activity in the Coffee
market, and but a limited business was transacted pri-
vately in East or West India sorts, but holders for the
most part were firm ; at auction 365 bags Ceylon, 142
bags Java, 30 casks 1,056 bags Porto Rico from the
Cape, 287 bags St. Domingo, 37 casks 25 barrels West
India were offered ; Ceylon was all damaged and

ordinary, beir.g rather lower ; Porto Rico all taken in at
full rates, viz. at 63s to 65s fine ord ; St. Domingo fetched
40s 6d to 41s for good ordinary, being the ful value ;
West India sold at steady rates, Jamaica low mid 100 s
to 107 s, good and fine ord 76s to 90s, Trinidad fine ord
87s 6d.

and previous rates have been fully supported : Trinidad
ordinary to good red at 43s to 47s 6d per cwt. Guayaquil
42s for good fair red, sea damaged fetched 30s to 33s per cwt.
TEA.—The market for free trade Tea has presented a
healthy appearance this week, the demand has been
brisk from both town and country dealers, who for the
most part are desirous to get into stock, and several pur-
chases have been made by speculators at firm rates. The
large public sales which commenced on Tuesday were
brought to a conclusion yesterday ; there was a 19.rge at-
tendance of the trade throughout, who were anxious to
operate, and for Black Tea the biddings were animated,
the principal part offered was actually disposed of, and
at prices fully equal to those paid by private contract
towards the close of last week.

To-day there was less activity in the Free Trade
market, and but a small amount of business was trans-
acted in either black or green sorts ; holders however
were firm, and obtained 2s 6id to 2s 64d for common
Congou, cash, and 2s 5d to 2s sid for ordinary Twankay.
Company's Congou moved off sowly, at 2s 7d cash.
Hops.—The accounts continue favourable from the
plantations, and there is every prospect of a fair crop, the
market is in a dull state, and prices on the decline. The
duty is estimated at 165,0001.

FRUIT.-Currants continue in good demand at the pre-
sent low prices, and the stock appears to be considerably
reduced; the other descriptions remain much the same as
last week.

broken ends 88s, loose and broken 80s 6d to 845, mouldy

have brought former rates. In East India Ginger
holders have obtained full prices. Jamaica at full prices.
