MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of July 2.)
SUGAR.—Today any further decline in the value of
Raw Sugar was prevented by merchants offering a less
quantity for sale by private treaty ; whilst there was
only ono small parcel submitted to public competition.
Tnere was, however, no increase in the amount of busi-
pess done for export or home consumption. West Ind.a
Muscovado was operated in with caution for all purposes,
end the private sales did not exceed 200 hhds and tierces
at the reduced rates previously quoted, or at a fall on the
prices of bra Friday of Is per cwt.
REFINED —To-day there aas a large business trans-
acted in refined goods by the home trade, in consequence
of rather lower rates being accepted, brown grocery
lumps were sold at 575, and standard at 58s to 58s 6d.
Bonded crushed Sugar is dull of sale at 32s to 32s 6d for
fine quality.

MAURITIUS.—None at present has been submitted to
public competition. By private treaty few purchases
have been made by refiners or grocers in any kinds,
although there are sellers at even a further reduction in
vices. The deliveries are not so large of late, and to parcels have ben received, but prices are 5s to 6s
per cwt under those current at this time in 1846.
EAST INDIA.— By private treaty little business has been
transacted in any kind of Bengal Sugar this week, not-
ithstanding holders further lowered their prices 6d per

b: 45s 6d per cwt.

17.10 Lasses.—Although West In in can be obtained at
a further reduction in the value, still there are few buyers
t be met with. and we quote low to fine quality at 18s to
.*:'2; per cwt. For Bengal Treacle the market is in a dull
',ate, and former rates cannot be obtained. Of Ceylon

cheaper. Of Rio 223 bags were all taken in at 36s to

manifested to operate in every kind of tea, and a rise in
Cite value has generally taken place; speculators have
turned their attention towards the article. In Congou,
