MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 23.)
SUGAR.—Today there was rather more demand for
Raw Sugar for home consumption, but on the part of
exporters little desire was manifested to operate, mer-
chants were disposed to sell upon previous reduced rates,
and offered a fair quantity for sale. The demand was
steady for West India, but holders were inclined to sell
all sorts at former rates. The purchases were 570 hhds
and trs, including a public sale of 147 hhds of Barbadoes,
which went off quietly at a decline on former rates of
6d per cwt.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon white Bengal met with
attention at the public sales, and fetched full rates, but
strong yellow, soft, and brown sorts were only in mode-
rate demand, and prices slightly gave way. The whole
offered, however, sold, and amounted to 3,849 bags.
REFINED.—To-day refined goods met with a dull
sale for home consumption, and prices further gave way
—Standard lumps selling 535, and brown grocery 51s
6d to 525. Bonded crushed Sugar is wanted, but little
is to be had, and the rates asked are 31s to 31s 6d for
first sort.

FOREIGN.—On the part of holders of Foreign Sugar
there is less firmness, and they having supplied the
market more freely, previous rides are not sustained.
The demand for all purposes has fallen off, although
there are sellers by private treaty, at prices
6d per cwt under those that existed previously.
From tho home trade the demand has been limited for
all sorts, on the part of
.exporters little desire has been
manifested to operate, and few purchases have been
made by our refiners working under bond. The public
sales went off quietly, but the whole of the sugar offered
found buyers, 1383 boxes of yellow Havannah went 6d
to is under former rates.

lauramus.—This afternoon the market was in a
ciniet state, but 3,017 bags at auction eold at previous
rates.

COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was better sup-
plied with Mocha Coffee ; the trade operated with
caution, and 299 bales at public auction were nearly all
taken in 2s to 3s under former rates. Native Ceylon
met with attention, and 970 bags were all disposed of at
the full worth. Plantation was less in demand, and 681
bags 18 casks were only in part disposed of at lower
rates.

TEA.—The market is yet plentifully supplied with all
descriptions of Tea, and holders are pressing sales, not-
withstanding the losses they are sustaining upon
importation, and which amounts to 3d on black,
6d on green, and 8d per lb on Pekoe Teas. For
Green the market is in a dull state, and prices con-
tinue to recede for all sorts. Although Pekoe Teas can
be obtained upon low terms, still the amount of business
concluded has been of little moment, and there is a plen-
tiful supply. Of 4,600 packages offered at public sale,
only 1,600 were sold, at prices in favour of buyers.
EICE.—To day exporters and the home trade were
little disposed to operate in East India Rice, and 2,916
bags of Madras, at auction, were nearly all taken in 6d
to is under former rates.

FRVIT.—The market is abundantly supplied, and on
the part of merchants there is a desire to stll, and prices
in consequences have suffered a further depression. The
demand is not so extensive as is usually the case, at this
period of the }ear, although prices rule moderate. For
public sale large parcels of Fruit are moderate.
SPIRITS.—To-day the market fur Rum had a firm ap-
pearance, and a good business was concluded ; the rates
paid were Id above those that existQd previously—proof
Leewards selling at is 9d to is 10d, and Jamaica 28 to
38 per cent over proof at 3s 6d to 4s. 6d. At public sale
599 hhds of East India sold at is 8d proof strength for
fair brown.

COCHINEAL.—A more favourable opinion is enter-
tained towards this article, and a rise in the value of ld
Las taken place. The parcels offered at public sale were
sold, and amounted to 239 bags.
SPICES —This afternoen Mace met with little atten-
tion, and 14 chests of Penang at public auction were all
taken in at 2s lI d to 3s for good, and 23 101 for mid •
tiling. Black Pepper was in brisker requt.st, and 898
bags Malabar at auction were all sold at full rates.
Orns.—The stock of Fish Oils continues on the in-
crease, and is large; there is also a desire on the part of
holders to sell, and the tendency of prices is downwards
for most descriptions. In Cod the purchases made
have been unimportant. Southern is little required and
prices vary from 231 to 261 for low to fine quality.
For Sperm there are few buyers. For Linseed Oil
prices remain much the same as those previously cur-
rent, the supply plentiful, the home trade have
been large operators, and the export demand has
bQen good at 23s 6d to 23s Od. For forward de-
livery several contracts were concluded at 24s to 24s
3d, upon these terms there are not generally sellers. In
Rapeseed Oil the operations are uton a more extended
scale ; in prices, however, we have little improvement to
record. Olive is little required by export( r 3 or the home
trade ; prices continue ou the decline. Palm does not
improve in value ; several parcels, however, have found
purchasers. Cocoa Nut is little required ; prices con•
tinuo to decline.

TALLOW.—Prices have undergone little variation on
the spot, since our last report ; on the part of holders
there is however a desire to realize.. The demand from
the town and country trade has been good for im-
mediate consumption, still they are not inclined
to hold large stocks, o❑ account of the many
p srceis that are yet to arrive. For forward delivery
the purchases made have been of little moment, although
there are sellers at 43s 6d. to 43s 9d, up to the close of
the year, and at 44s to 44s 6d fur spring months. Houle
made met with a ready sale. In the value of other sorts
of tallow, there is little variation to report.
