MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of No'rember 3.)

SUGAR.--Today prices declined for several descriptions of
Raw Sugar available for home consumption, the demand
being less active and the quantity brought to market large.
West India was purchased with caution for the scale and
pan, and the rates taken were 6d per cwt under those of
Friday for brown, grey, and the lower kinds of yellow, but
goad and fine generally sustained the former value.
REFINED.—To-day refined goods were in excellent request
by the home trade, but no further improvement took place in
prices, although the price is small. For Bonded Crashed
Sugar the market has a firmer appearance, a good deal has
been done, and 32s 6d per cwt paid for first quality.
MAURITIIIS.—This afternoon at public sale 350 bags 836
casks 16 trcs and 11 brls of Mauritius Sugar only in part sold
at a fall on last week's rates of 6d to Is. per cwt—fine yellow
went at 51s, good 49s to 50s 6d, middling 47s to 48s, low
45s 6d to 46s 6d, fine brown 44s to 455, good 435, middling
38s to 395, low dark 34s to 365, and very low 33s per ewt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar brought forward was extensive, and consisted of seven
public sales, containing 13,017 bags; nearly the whole was
actually disposed of, but at a decline on former rates of 6d
to is per cwt; superior grainy white sorts,:however, sus-
tained the formed value, and white Benares brought prices
nearly equal to those of last Friday.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 78 cases 1 box
and 38 barrels of Bahia Sugar were all taken in at about the
former value—fine yellow at 475, good 465, middling 455, fine
brown 44s to 44s 6d, good 435, middling :42, and :low: 398
to 41s. 10 hhds Cuba Muscovado, low:yellow, 465. ~188
packages of Savanilla, good yellow 51s, damp 49e, and loaves
54s per cwt.
Cecoa.—West India has met with little attention pri-
vately, although there are sellers upon rather lower terms,
and at auction a part only of 521 bags Grenada sold at 39s
for good middling, and at 40s for good red. The value of
grey Trinidad according to quality is 35s to 425, and red 36s
to 46s per cwt.
COFFEE.—Thisaftemoon Native Ceylon was only in limited
request, and of 1,858 bags at auction a small part only sold
at about the former value. Plantation was in good demand,
and 33 casks 41 barrels at auction sold at stiffer rates; ordi-
nary grey at 45s 6d, good ordinary 49s 6d, fine fine ordinary
pale of a favourite mark 60s to 63F4; 'mug d 45a to 50s, pea-
berry sound 65s ; 11 casks Jamaica sold at 35s 6d for triage ;
86 gags of Penang sold at the full worth—fine fine ordinary
brown at 35s to 38s, fine ordinary 30s to 308 6d, and damaged
23s to 32s per cwt.
TEA.—Although black can be obtained upon previous low
terms, privately still only a limited business has been trans-
acted, the heavy stock causing the trade to purchase only
sufficient for immediate wants, large as the consumption is,
and moderate as prices are, common sound Congou being
obtainable at 8d to Bid, good common 9d to sid, Pouchong
4d to 7d, and better quality 8d to 10d. Notwithstanding the
low rates that prevail for green, still there has been little
desire manifested by the town or country trade to operate.
In Scented Orange Pekoe there has been little passing,
although good to line can be obtained at Is 6d to 2s per lb.
At the public sales of • 27,640 pkgs, the trade evinced
little desire to operate, notwithstanding the low rates at
which some of the merchants were sellers, and the total
quantity disposed of amounted to only 1,800 pkgs, nearly the
whole damaged, and in small pkgs; a regular break of low
sound common Congou brought 8d to Bid per lb. Merchants
this year have already experienced a loss by;importing of Tea
of half a million sterling.
SPICES.—To-day the market was well supplied with Nut-
megs, and the quantity offered at public sale amounted to
129 chests 6 boxes 4 bags; the demand was good, and the
whole sold, fine sorts fetched full rates, but other kinds de-
clined in value id to 2d per lb. Mace is wanted, and 38
chests at public sale sold at stiff rates. Cloves met with
little attention, and 40 chests Penang sold rather lower. In
black Pepper there was little
,passing privately, but 137 bags
of Penang at auction sold at full worth.
Snarrs.—There has been a considerable increase in the
demand for Leeward Island Rum since our last Price Cur-
rent was issued, and a rise in prices of 2d or 3d per gallon has
taken place. For Calcutta the demand has been brisk, and
an advance in the value of 3d took place. Demerara has
been in good request, and prices are rising 3s 3d to 3s 6d having
been paid fer strong sorts 30 to 36 per cent. over proof.
In Jamaica the operations have been upon a more extended
scale, and it is difficult to purchase at former rates. The
value of Havannah and Brazil proof strength is is lld to 2s
per gallon. For Brandy the demand has been good for all
descriptions, chiefly from the home trade, and prices are
rising. Geneva is wanted for exportation, and the parcels
sold were at 2s 8d to 2s 9d for common, and at which holders
are firm.

COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was a good demand,
and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 384 bags,
which all sold at 4s 6d to 5s 7d for low to fine silvers, and
one bag black at 6s 4d per lb.
SALTPETRE.—To-day Rough met with attention, and 554
bags at auction were sold at full rates. English Refined has
been in good request at 29s 6d to .30s. In Nitrate of Soda a
fair business has been done at 16s 6d to 17s per cwt.
Oscs.—There has been an extensive demand for Linseed
Oil for home consumption on the spot since last Tueesday ;
several ezport purchases have been made, and a further ad-
vance in the value has occurred. For forward delivery a

good deal has been done at 27s 3d to 27s 6d per cwt, Rape
Seed Oil has been in good request, and prices are moving

.
upwards. There has been an extensive demand for Olive Oil
chiefly from the home trade, and advanced rates have been paid
Cocoa Nut has been largely dealt in privately, and a further
advance in prices took place. Palm has been much in re-
quest by private treaty, and quotations are yet rising. Seal
has been disposed of to a large extent, and at prices showing
a rise on those of this day week of 40s to 60s per tun.
Southern of every description is much wanted, but few par-
cels are to be had, and a further advance in the value has oc-

curred. Cod has risen to 271 lOs a 281, and at which many
and at which many parcels have been disposed of. In Sperm
large purchases have been made by private treaty, and fur-
ther advance rates arc paid. Lard Oil has been purchased
with caution at 381 to 441.

TALLow.—Prices have assumed a downward tendency for
Russian; there having been large arrivals since our last re-
port, but on the spot the demand has been good from the
town and country tr,le, and 49s to 49s 6d per cwt. are the
rates accepted for fine P. Y. Candle. For delivery in spring
months quotations have fallen'to 495, but thereat many pur-
chases have been made. Of other kinds of Tallow several
parcels have been sold, but upon rather lower terms, and a
larger quantity has been brought to market.
