MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Tendon New Price Current of April 7.)
BUGAR.—To-day, in consequence of the extensive public sales held
of Bengal, Madras, and Mauritius Sugars, the business transacted in
the West India was extremely limited, and the rates taken were
rather under those that prevailed on Friday.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were purchased with caution,
and prices are still drooping, brown lumps selling at 62s 6d to G3s,
and standard lumps at 63s Gd to 64s per cwt.
. _

Meuntrics.—This afternoon Importers of Mauritius Sugar were
inclined to realize, and offered two parcels amounting to 8,943 bags
at public sale, nearly the whole sold, but at a decline on former rates
of 6d to Is per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar sub-
mitted to public compettion was large; the chief part was disposed
of at 6d for white, and 6d to for yellow and brown kidds.

FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 31 cases and 2 eas'ss Ili°
were taken in at 20s ror middling yellow, and 18s for luw brown ;
damaged, however, sold at 12s 6,1 to 15s Gd per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire shown to purchase
Rio Coffee, and at public sale a small part only sold at a reduction ox
former rates of 2s to 4s.

TEA.—For Cotigou the demand has been only for small parcels, al-
though eommon is obtainable at 8 dto 9d, and good common 91,0
to 10d for cash. l'omhong has been sparingly dealt in, and 4d to 9d
are the prices taken for low to good quality. Twankay has met with
little attention. Hyson is little wanted. and common is to be obtained
at Is 10d to 2s. Imperial and Gunpowder are offered upon lower
terms, still there are few buyers to be met with.
SPlRlTs.—There has been more desire manifested in this market to
purchase Leeward Island ,:um, but business of moment has been
prevented by holders asking an advance in prices. Demerara has
been purchased with more freedom, but prices cannot be
quoted higher. Calcutta is more wanted, but business has
been checked by the reluctance of holders to take former rates.
There has been little passing in any sort of Jamaica, and for the in-
terior kinds prices are going down. There are sellers of Brandy upon
lower terms, still the business done has been liinitod. Fine Geneva
is still much in r^quest, but the common export sort is late wanted.
Ilice.—This afternoon at public sale 675 bags of Bengal Rice were
offered, there was little disposition evinced to operate, and the sound
was all taken in at lower rates.
