.ARKE T INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of July 25.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was not the least improvement
in the home demand for raw Sugar, although holders
were disposed to make a further concession in the value
of duty-peid sorts. Indeed it is still difficult to give
accurate quotations. For Foreign, in bond, there is
a firm market. West India was dealt in with
caution fur all purposes, whilst prices compared
with those of Friday show a decline of 6d. A public
sale of 141 hhds and 92 tierces of Barbadoes went off
flatly at a similar reduction—fine yellow sold at 41s to
425, good 40s to 41s, good middling 39s 6d, middling
33s to 39s per cwt. The total quantity sold amounts to
only 360 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-day there was no improvement in the
position of the market for Refined Sugar ; there was
also a desire on the part of home-trade refiners to sell.
The rates accepted are 52s ed for brown, 53s for
brown, and 53s for standard lumps. For tonded Crushed
• Sugar the market is firm, and there is a good demand at
26s .to 27s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the sales made by pri-
vate treaty in Mauritius were star!', and 505 bags at
auction went at barely the former value, fine yellow 39s
to 39s Gd, good 37s 6d to 38s, middling 36s to 375, low
345, washed and syrupy 33s to 38s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon there was no improve-
ment in the demand for Madras Sugar; at public sale
4,470 bags were nearly nil taken in about the former
value. Of Bengal 1,790 were, offered and sold at Gd per
cwt decline.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and by private treaty little desire was shown to
do business in duty paid or bonded sorts, whilst prices
are on the decline.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was not a better
demand by private treaty for Native Ceylon, and 433
bags at auction were taken in at 30s for good ordinary,
whilst
,64 casks and 1,367 bags Plantation were only in
part sold at about the former value.
Cocoa.—British plantation is not much wanted, and
sellers are willing to make a concession on last week's
rates of 6d to is per cwt. At auction 555 bags 125 brls
of Trinidad were only in part sold. The market for
foreign is dull.
TEA.—On the part of the trade a desire is manifested
generally to get well stocked with Congou, and former
advanced rates are supported. There is firmness
on the part of holders, and they insist upon the fol-
following terms; ord unclean 7d to 7:lid, coarse and new
kinds 8d to 81d, mixed leaf ditto 9d to ltd, blackish
leaf rather strong to strong Is to is '2d, strong, and

demand exists for other sorts of Tea.

for East India Rice, and prices have further advanced

FURTHER SEIZURE OF ARM;AT LIVERPOOL.-
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, as police-constable
590 was on duty in Hurst•street, he observed a young
man removing pikes and other weapons from a cellar
beneath a public-house at the coiner of Garden-lane.
They were oeing removed to the garret of a neighbour-
ing house. The officer obtained assistance, and the arms,
which consisted of three rusty pikes, a gun with some
bayonets, a cutlass, and a sword in its scabbard, were
seized and carried to the police-office. The occupant of
the garret and the young man found removing the wea-
pons, were both taken into custody, and brought yester-
day before Mr. E. Rushton, the stipendiary magistrate.
The above facts were deposed to; and the prisoners re-
manded.

The Duke of Norfolk and the Earl of Wilton had in-
terviews yesterday with Sir George Grey.
