o TdmNopp;ce Current INTELLIGENCE. o
sfuJguanre SIFGAR.—To-day business in the raw
was much restricted, resulting from the proposal
oinfert
Go-
vernment with respect to the duties, and the 1a
parcels declared for public sale were all Withdrawn
,bruet
privately 220 hhds sold to-day. There is not• the
slightest disposition exhibited by holders to reduce their
prices ; and, on the other hand, the trade are equally
disinclined to transact business.
REFINED.—To-day the market for home-trade goods
had a quiet appearance, and sellers were willing to ac-
cept 54s for brown, and 55s per cwt for Standard Lumps.
Bonded Crushed Sugar was dealt in with caution at
d2esms 6ad at 21s

hand Belgian met with a good
MAl:Mini:lB.—A large quantity has again been de-
livered, and the stock is much smaller than in the
former year at this time. Holders are firm, and insist
upon full rates, yet for all purposes only a limited de-
mand has been experienced by private treaty. At pub-
lic sale 700 bags were sold—good yellow at 39s to 39s 6d,
good brown 365, washed and syrupy 31s 6d to 39s per cwt.
EAST INDlA.—Bengal is unaltered in value but the
sales made by private treaty have been of little mo-
ment. At auction 1,500 bags went at the former worth.
Madras is held with firmness, yet only a limited demand
has been experienced by private treaty, aad none has
been offered at public sale. Of Penang only small par-
cels have been sold, at from 27s to 365, according to
quality ; the supply is, however, on the decrease, and
the stock is mostly in second hands.
FOREIGN.—There was little desire evinced to make
purchases in any sort of foreign Sugar last week for
exportation, and only small parcels were taken by pri-
vate treaty for home use or refining under bond. In
prices here little variation took place as the market was
but moderately supplied. At public sales 2,553 boxes
of Savannah were taken in, low to good yellow 18s to
20s, good and fine brown 17s to 17s Gd, washed 16s to
18s 6d.

Cucow.—There is a further increase to notice in the
stock of West India, and as the trade operate with cau-
tion, prices continue to decline. Red Trinidad is to be
obtained at 37s to 42s for ordinary to fine, and grey 36s
to 39s per cwt. The quantity to arrive is yet large.
For Foreign the market is inactive, and the tendency of
quotations is to decline. At public sale 1,000 bags of
Guayaquil were taken in at 34s for good bold grey. A
further increase is apparent in the stock.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon met with increased
attention, and 112 casks 896 bags at auction were sold
upon full terms, middling realised 49s to 51s, low mid
45s 6d to 475, fine fine ordinary 40s to 42s Bd, fine ordi-
nary 35s to 38s 6d, good ordinary 33s to 33s 6d, good
ordinary mixed brown 28s to 29s 6d, pea berry 47s to
595, brown ditto 30s 6d to 31s 6d, damaged 25s to 48s 6d.
Native in less demand by private treaty, and 209 bags at
auction were taken in at 30s to 30s 6d for good ordi-
nary, but Pea Berry sold at 335, and damaged 18s to
26d 6d. Of Jamaica, 12 casks and 35 barrels went at
steady prices; middling 55s to 60s, fine fine ordinary
38s to 44s 6d, ordinary, 30s. 308 bags of Madras, da-
maged 22s 6d to 24s 6d, but sound was taken in at 30s
to 355; 200 bags of Laguyra at 60s to 70s for fine bold.
TEA.—Holders of Black manifest firmness, and insist
upon fully previous rates ; there has, however, been
only a limited demand, and the supply is large of inferior
kinds ; but there is only a small quantity pressing for
sale of the better qualities. An improved demand is
shortly anticipated. Congou may new be quoted at Bid
lid fear ord and good lord. There are sellers of Green
upon lower terms; yet buyers purchase reluctantly of all
sorts: the supply has become more extensive.
SAGO.—This afternoon there was less demand for this
article, and 400 chests at public sale were only in part
sold at 19s to 19s 6d for good large pearl; small was
taken in at 25s per cwt, being above the value.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice met with greater
attention. The quantity of Bengal offered at public sale
amounted to 4,093 bags 2,200 pockets, which sold at 6d
per cwt advance, fine white pearly rather dusty went at
lls 6d to 12s, good 105 6d to 1 Is, middling 9s 6d to 10s,
low broken 8s 6d, and damaged 8s to lOs 6d; 40 bags of
Egyptian were taken in at 15s for bold white.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLIANDS.—The proposition of
Government to reduce the duty on Rum from 8s 7d to
8s 2d per gallon cause holders of all kinds to insist upon
advanced rates. Proof Leeward is held for is 9d to
Is 10d. East India is 6d to is Bd, Jamaica 28 to 36 per
cent over proof 3s 10d to 4e 3d, fine 4s 4d to ss, and De-
merara 28 to 38 over 2s 10d to 3s 4d per gallon, but the
large and increasing stock has caused home buyers to make
sales with caution, and export orders are trifling; tbe deli-
veries also continue to be of an unsatisfactory nature.
There is no further decline to _ notice in the value
the
ef
Brandy; the market is dull, and as the stock is on
increase holders are willing to sell best brands of

demand is
limited, and ordinary export sort can be had at Is 9d
per gallon.
SPICES. --- To-day more demand existed for black
Pepper, and 2,075
public sale were sold at full
rates—good clean blackbag
went at 2kd to 21d, fair 2kd to
2i-td, rather dusty 2d to 2a at

at 2s 7d for middling, and 2s Ild to 3s for good brown;
1 case of Mace--good ordinary IslOd per lb; 64 bags

490 pockets Benga_

21s per cwt.
CocurNEAL.—This afternoon there was no improve-
ment in the market for Cochineal. At public sale 140
bags of Mexican were only in part sold at 3s 5d to 3s 8d
for silvers, which are rather lower rates; 23 bags of
black Honduras were withdrawn.
SALTPETRE.—To-day the market was well supplied
with rough, and three parcels of Calcutta, amounting to
2,565 bags, were offered at auction. The demand was
more active, and nearly the whole sold at 6d per cwt.
advance.

OMs.—This afternoon Linseed Oil met with less atten-
tion, and prices declined to 22s 6d per cwt on the spot.
Pricespibl
salear are fsuorltdh eart
27sd
depressed for
9fodr p Palm,
cwt.lm,and 54 casks at
.TALLOW.—Russian on the spot cannot be obtained at
any further reduction; but the purchases made have
been of little moment, and 44s 6d to 45s per cwt are
the rates accepted for fine P. Y. Candle.
The tendency of prices is to decline, on account of
the limited consumption. For forward delivery there
has, however, been a larger business concluded, and
at firmer rates, 43s 6d per cwt having been paid for the
last three months of the year. Home made has been
only in limited request at 44s to 45s nett cash on the
spot, and there is a plentiful supply. Other sorts of
Tallow are unaltered in value, but the stock does not
decrease. For auction 1,300 casks were declared. Rough
Fat is selling at 2s 6id per stone.

MR. JOHN PARRY'S CONCERT.—This clever and fa-
vourite singer gave his annual concert on Monday at the
Hanover-square Rooms. It was a very agreeable selec-
tion of music (chiefly vocal) performed by the Misses
Williams, Madame Sabatier, Miss Lucombe, Signor and
Madame F. Lablache, Mr. Reeves, and several other
vocalists, besides Mr. Parry himself. He himself was
as entertaining as usual. lle gave, for the first time, a
new scene called " The Rehearsal of an Opera,"l in
which he alone, with the help of his own accompani-
ment on the pianoforte, imitated the performance of
three principal singers, Miss Thrush, the soprano; Mr.
Dove, the tenor; and Mr. Raven, the bass,—with an
instrumental band and a chorus. In the production of
such effects, Mr. Parry is quite unrivalled; and hisex-
travaganzas are not only most ludicrous and amusing,
but full of real musical beauty. Ho also gave his
" Master and Pupil," a capital satire on fashionable
teaching of singing; and his " True History of Eng-
land." It is scarcely necessary to say that his perform-
ances were most vehemently applauded—this being the
reception they never fail to meet with. There was an
overflowing audience, the great room being crowded to
the very doors.
The Rev. Sir Henry Thompson had an interview yes
terday with Secretary Sir George Grey.
