MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Landon New Price Current of November 27.)
SUGAR.—To-day the market presented a dull appearance
for all qualities of West India Sugar, and merchants were
generally inclined to sell ; the very small quantity of only
160 hhds and tierces, however, found buyers at easier rates,
making the decline compared with last Friday of is on in-
ferior and brown, and 6d per cwt on the better qualities of
yellow and grey.
REFINED.—TO day no improvement occurred in the value
of Refined Sugar, although the borne demand was good,
there being several parcels on offer. The value of Bonded
Crushed Sugar is 32s 6d to 33s per cwt, but there was not
much passing. -=
EAST IXDIA.--This afternoon 402 bags of Bengal Sugar
were offered at public sale, and sold at full rates; good
grainy yellow, like Mauritius, at 49s 6d to 508 6d, fine yellow
Dobah sort 554.6 d to 56s 6d, good ditto 525, and damp 508
to 55s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and the private operations for the week are only 200
chests of yellow Havannah at 23s 6d to 24s in bond, and a
cargo of white Havannah is reported to have been sold for
arrival at 575, duty paid.
MAURITIUS.—Although there are sellers of brown and the
lower kinds of yellow and grey at a further reduction in
prices of 6d to is per cwt, still few purchases have been made
by private contract, and the supply exceeds the demand, but
bright grocery and refining qualities are still wanted, and,
owing
,to the scanty supply, bring previous rates, but not
above.

SPIILITS.—There has been only a limited business trans-

firmness, and insist upon full rates, especially for the
better qualities. Leeward Island is held with firmness at

but there are not at present many buyers. East India has
met with little attention, but prices keep up. Brandy is not
offered at any further reduction, but the home and export
