MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of July 21.)
SUGAR.—In consequence of what transpired in the House
of Commons last evening, with respect to the Sugar Duties,
increased dullness was produced in the market for Colonial of
every kind to-day, and reduced rates were submitted to.
REFINED.—To. day there was little desire shown by the
home trade to operate in Refined goods, although there were
sellers of brown melting lumps at 655, brown grocery 65s Gd
to 665, and standard lumps at 66s 6d to 67s per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar is cheaper, sales having been made at 33s 6d
to 34s per cwt for first quality.
Matannus.—This afternoon there was scarcely any busi-
ness transacted privately, and at auction 122 casks 6 hhds
81 trcs were only in part sold at 6d to is per cwt decline.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was much better
supplied with Madras Sugar ; two parcels, amounting to
7,362 bags, were submitted to public competition, and nearly
the whole sold at a reduction on former rates of is per cwt.
FOREIGIL—To-day the market presented a quiet appear-
ance for all kinds of Foreign Sugar, and previous rates were
not obtainable. By private contract there was very little
business transacted.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced to
operate in Ceylon Coffee, and 1,581 bags 64 casks were
offered at public sale; the Native was taken in at about the
former value. With West India the market was better sup-
plied ; 287 casks 132 barrels and bags being submitted to
public competition, nearly the whole sold, but at a fall in
prices of 3s to 5s per cwt.
TEA.—Congou is not to be had on lower terms, but little
business has been transacted. In Pouchong several pur-
chases have been made, but holders are compelled to accept
previous rates. In Gunpowder a good business has been
done, but upon lower terms. Sevefal parcels of Im-
perial have been disposed of in consequence of reduced
prices having been taken. In Twankay there has been little
passing, and previous rates are not obtainable. Holders of
Hyson are unwilling to lower their prices, although the de-
mand has been limited. Young Hyson is little wanted.
Scented Orange Pekoe is little wanted, and 2s to 2s 2d is the
value of the finest. Souchong is dull of sale at 10d to 2s,
and superior 2s 2d to 2s 9d per lb.
RICE.—The market has a quiet appearance for Bengal, and
the quantity on offer being large, a fall in the value of 3d
per cwt has taken place.
SPICES.—To-day Pimento met with attention, and 308
bags at auction all sold at full rates. Nutmegs are little
wanted, and 45 chests at public sale only partly found
buyers at barely previous rates. Of Jamaica Ginger 213
bales were offered, and chiefly sold. Black Pepper is not
offered upon further reduced rates; but little business has
been done privately.
HOPE. —ln the value no change has taken place, but there
has been only a limited business transacted in any kind.
The duty for the Kingdom is estimated at 140,0001 to
150,0001. _ _

SALTPETRE.—To-day Rough met with little attention, and
2421 bags of Calcutta at public sale were nearly all taken in
at about the former value.

Coomfm.—Arrivals having commenced to come in more
freely have-caused merchants to be desirous to realise, and
they having supplied the market largely, has produced a de-
cline on former rates of 4d to 6d on silvers, and 4d to 8d on
black.

SPIRITS.—To-day a good business was transacted in
Jamaica Rum, and at better prices—several parcels were sold
at 3s 6d to 3s 8d for 30 to 34 per cent. over proof. Leeward
Island is sought after, and proof brought 2s 3d to 2s 4d. In
Calcutta sales were made at is Ild to 2s proof, and of
Demerara some parcels sold at 3s to 3s 4d for strong descrip-
tions. The market closes with a brisker appearance for all
kinds of Rum.

INomo.—To-day, during the progress of the sale, 83 chests
were withdrawn, and 879 chests have passed. There is little
alteration in the prices, which continue to be exceedingly
uneven for all the qualities of Bengal. Madras and Kurpah
continue to sell from the lust sale's prices to 2d advances.
The quantity brought in is 256 chests. 8,464 chests hare
now passed the hammer, of which about 4,500 are sold.
Otis.—For Seal further reduced rates have been sub-
mitted to. Holders of Southern at present are not inclined
to further reduce their prices, but exporters have been
cautious in their proceedings. Cod has been sparingly dealt
in. Spearm is little wanted, and prices are going down. Rape
seed oil has fallen in value. In Linseed Oil there has been
little business transacted on the spot. Olivehas met with little
attention. Cocoa Nut has been in demand, but the market
is sparingly supplied. Palm has been in good demand.
American Lard Oil is heavy of disposal at 371 to 38/ per tun.
TALLOW.—The purchases made in Russian on the spot
have been trifling, and previous rates are not obtainable.
At auction 197 casks of first quality were taken in at 41s 6d
to 42s per cwt. For forward delivery few contracts have
been entered into. New South Wales is little wanted, and
prices are looking down. For other sorts of Tallow the
market is in an inactive state, and lower rates are taken.
