MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of May S.)
SUGAR.—To-dao there was more shown to purchase Raw
Sugar for home consumption, and merchants were less in-
dined to realise. The quantity of West India Sugar sild pri-
vately was 200 hlids and trcs at full rates, and in some cases
rather above. The market closes more firmly fur Sugar sub-
ject to the 14s duty.
REFINED.—TO-aay Refined goods were purchased with
caution by the home trade; the value of brown lumps is 65s
to 65s 6d, and standard lumps 66s to 66s per cwt. Bonded
crushed Sugar is dull of sale, and 32s 3d to 32s 6d per cwt.
taken for first quality.
MAURITILTS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was pur-
chased with more freedom, and qou bags at auction were
all sold at full rates, viz. middling to fine yellow at 48s
to 545, grey ditto 47s to 51s, good brown 465, low 445, washed
yellow and grey 47s Gd to 51s, syrupy 47s to 51s Gd per cwt
—nearly the whole consisted of midding to fine yellow sorts.
EAsT INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 155 bags of
Bengal sugar were in part sold at full rates and fetched 54s
to 568 for tine white Benares rather grainy.
FOREIGN.—In consequence of the extensive public sale of
Java Sugar, huld by the Dutch Trading Company, having
gone off better than was expected, holders of all descriptions
of Foreign Sugar here have more confidence ; they refrained
from ()tiering any at auction, and the quantity on rifer by
private contract is less than it was

Fiturr.—For Currants there continues a good demand, and
the prices quoted fully maintained. Some large parcels of
Valentia Raisins of fine quality having been sent to this
market from the outports for sale; the low and inferior sorts
are a complete drug, almost unsaleable.
MOLAFSES.—The new sorts of West India are much wanted,
and full rates offered. Bengal Treaele sells more freely and
at better rates.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire manifested
to operate in Mocha Coffee, and 215 bales at auction were
all taken in at the full value. Of Plantation Ceylon 2,155
bags at public sale were nearly all taken in rather above
the value.

TEA.—No further advance has taken place in the value of
Congou, but upon former terms there has been a large busi-
ness transacted in all descriptions. Pouchoug is wanted, and
the parcels sold were at firm rates. Twankay is held with
firmness. llyson has been largely dealt in, common at 2s to
2s 2d, but middling to good 2s 3d to 2s Bd, fine to very fine
2s 9d to 4s. Of Imperial and Gunpowdef the parcels dis-
posed of were upon fully former terms. Pekoe Teas are little
wanted, and prices are still on the decline.
RICE.—To-day the market was much better supplied with
Bengal Rice, four parcels amounting to d,208 bags and 299
pockets were submitted to public competition: the trade
were desirous to operate, arid the whole sold at an advance
on former rates
.6d per cwt.

SPICES.—This afternoon Malabar Pepper met with atten-
tion, and 100 bags at auction were soloisat full rates. Cloves
are still wanted. Of Mace 6 chests 1 bag were sold at full
rates. 87 bags of Nutmegs in the shell were only in part sold
at the reduced rates of 51/2d to 6d per lb.
SPIRITS.—Holders of Jamaica Rum have been unable to
obtain any further advance in prices, but there has been a
good business transacted. Demerara is wanted, and the
parcels sold were at fully former rates. Calcutta has met
with little attention, and prices are not so firm. Leeward Island
has been sparingly dealt in, but former rates are maintained.
Although Brandy can be obtained upon further reduced terms,
still shippers and the home trade have operated with caution
this week, and the stock has been further increased, hut the
deliveries are getting larger. Geneva is dull of sale, and
there are sellers of common export at is lld to 2s, and fine
at 2s 6d to 3s per gallon. English Corn Spirits are little
wanted.

OlLS.—There has been a much better demand for Linseed
Oil this week, and an advance on former rates of 6d to 9d
per cwt. For Rape Seed Oil further reduced rates having
been taken many parcels have been disposed of. Coooa Nut
Oil has met with little attention. Palm has been in good
request, still prices do not advunce. Olive has met with
little attention.

TALLOW.—There has been a better demand for Russian on
this week; and buyers have been compelled to pay a slight
advance on former rates. For forward delivery there are
sellers upon rather lower terms. In American and New
South Wales a good business has been transacted on the
spot, and holders have obtained rather better prices
Town Tallow is still plentiful, and a large business has been
transacted.
