MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 11.)
FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 662 hhds 10
half tierces of Cuba Muscovado, duty paid, were nearly
all taken in at 40s for fine, and at 376 for low yellow;
the small part that sold fetched the former rates, good
yellow 39s 6d, mid 35s to 38s 6d, and low 37s per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the quantity of Plantation
Ceylon offered at public sale amounted to 96 casks,
550 bags,. the whole sold—middling and good sorts
fetched stiffer rites, but the lower kinds went is. per

cwt. cheaper ; good realised 58s to 58s 6d, middling
48s 6d to 503 6d, low middling 445, fine fine ordinary
41s 6d, fine ordinary 38s to 40s, good ordinary 35s to 375,
ordinary 345, pea berry 40s 6d to 50s 6d, and damaged
22s to 36a 6d ; 782 fans of Tellicherry subject to 4d jAr
lb duty at stiff rates—line bold yellow, like Mocha, 61s
to 635, good 56s 6d to 58s, pea berry 63s Gd to 66s 6d,
inferior 51s 6d to 56s Gd, bold Triage 30,3 to 352, low
ditto 12s to Iss, damaged 12s to 13s 6d.
TEA.—To-clay, at the public sales, a good demand
was experienced for Tca, and on the part of merchants
there was firmness. The proportion sold was likewise
larger than for some time past. The total quantity de-
clared amounted to 12,700 packages, of which 4,600
were sold, including 2,000 catty boxes. Congeal
fetched stiffer rates, and Caper sustained the former
value, whilst Ilytton sold id, Gunpowder 3d, and Impe-
rial Id per lb above former rates--Congou, fair common
fetched 8-id to 8:41d, good 11d; Caper, in boxes 714: to
71c1; Ilyson, fair Is Old to I. sd; Imperial, good and
flee Is 3d to Is 9d; and Gunpowder, good 2s 3:1 tv
2s lid per lb.
Rim—To-day East India was in good demand pri-
vately, and former rates were well sustained. At pualie
sale 400 packets of Bengal were sold at lOs 6d to Ils for
low broken dusty white, and 8s Gel to Os 6,1 for sea
damaged. Of African Arrowroot 18 casks fetched 314.1.
MOLASSES.—To-day there is little ~,,assing in West
India privately, and the rates taken were rather ender
thore that existed previously. At public sale 29 puns of
St. Lucia went at IGs for ordinary.
COCOA.—British plantation is more required; but holders
insisting upon an advance on previous rates of Is to 2s
per cwt, operated against business, and 425 bags of
Trinidad at auction were only in part disposed of, fine
red at 50s, good 46s Gd to 475, and middling 45s per cwt.
Foreign met with little attention, and 35s to 37s per cwt
is the value.
SPICES.—To-day Pimento was less in demand, and
200 bags at auction went id per lb cheaper; good
middling and good selling at 3fd to 31d, middling matter
coarse and a little mixed aid, 30 boxes Jamaica Ginger
realised the full value. 712 bags of African were taken
in rather above the value.
Lanzoo.—The quarterly sale of East India is fixed for
the Bth of February, and the quantity declared is at
present 3,157 chests, but it will be increased to about
10,000 chests.

SPIRITS.—To-day there was only a limited business
concluded in Rum, although proof Leowards were obtain-
able at is 6d to is 7d; East India is sd; Jamaica of
good quality 30 to 38 per cent. over proof at 3s 6d to
3s Bd, and fine at 3s 101 to 4s 4d per gallon. The market
has a dull appearance for all kinds, and there are further
arrivals.

SALTPETRE.—To-clay rough was only in limited de-
mand, and 700 bags of Calcutta at public sale were taken
in at the former value, viz —middling grey but rather
damp 9 to 91 per cent. refraction 31s to 31s 6d, but the
unretracted sold at 30s per cwt.
SAGO.—Holders are anxious sellers, and submitted to
prices is 6d to 2s per cwt under those previously current.
At auction 749 boxes were disposed of. Privately there
has been little passing, and lower rates are expected to
prevail. Although Sago Flour is offered at a consider-
able reduction, yet few buyers are to be met with, and
at auction a small part only of 782 bags found buyers.
OILS.—For Seal there has been an excellent demand,
and a further rise in the value is apparent, whilst
on the part of holders there is firmness, and the)
have obtained 301 to 311 for pale; at auction 56
tuns were sold. Cod, however, has declined in value,
several parcels have been disposed of. Southern cannot
be obtained upon lower terms, but the supply is small
of all sorts, but the purchases made are of little coese-
quence ; at public sale 15 tuns realised 311 tss to 311 15s.
There has been an improved demand for Sperm, and the
parcels sold privately were at improved rates—
at public sale 50 tuns fetched 821 to 821 lOs for
fine quality, and a few lots for export only 801.
The purchases made in Linseed Oil have been upon a
large scale by the home trade, and a fair demand pre-
vailed for exportation, whilst a rise in the value is appa-
rent. Holders of Olive are not disposed to submit to any
further reduction in value, and the deliveries exceed
the arrivals. Cocoa Nut is little required, the supply
is on the increase. The operations in Palm are to a
limited extent only. The consumption is, however,
better than of late, and prices have become moderate.
Rapeseed Oil has been dealt in with caution.
TALLOW.—In consequence of further reduced rates
having been accepted for Russian on the spot, buyers
were induced to come into the market with more
freedom. A good business has been concluded both by
soap-makers and chandlers, and 44s 6d to 44s 9d are the
prices accepted for fine P.Y. Crndle. For forward delivery,
however, the operations are of little consequence. Home
made is not much required, and as the stock is accumu-
lating, there is a desire shown to sell at 46s 6d to 47s
net cash. Other ltiuds.,are in large supply, and prices
continue to recede.
