MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 21.)
SLR/AIL—To-day the demand diminished for all sorts
of Raw Sugar, and former rates were not to be obtained
in consequence of a much larger supply at market. West
India was dealt in with caution for all purposes, and in
some cases the rates accepted are rather under those
of Friday. The purchases are only 380 hhds, &c., in-
cluding a public sale of 150 hhds Barbadoes, which went
off at former rates, but without spirit; good yellow re-
alized 37s to 38s Gd, middling 35s 6d to 36s 6d, and low
34s 6d per cwt. The market for both Colonial and
Foreign Sugar closes flatly.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods met with less de-
mand for home trade purposes. and prices declined to
463 6d to 47s for brown, and 48s for standard Lumps.
Bonded Crushed Sugar is yet in small supply, and much
in demand.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Madras
Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amoanted to
6,864 bags; a dull demand existed, and a small part only
sold at prices 6d to is under those current on Friday:
middling soft yellow went at 31s 6d to 325, low 30s to
31s, fine brown 29s to 29s 6d, good 28s 6d to 295,
low and middling 27s to 28s, tine strong yellow
38s to 40s, good 36s to 375, low 33s to 355, brown 30s to
32s 6d. Of Bengal 4,381 bags were put up, and only in
part found purchasers at barely the former value; fine
grainy yellow went at 39s to 41s, middling and good
35s 6d to 38s 6d, low 33s 6d to 355, and middling to fine
Mauritius kind 34s to 39s per cwt.
SIAURITIIIB.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with little attention. and the public sales of 5,729 bags
went off flatly at a reduction of Gd per cwt; fine yellow
sold at 38s to 40s, good 36s to 37s 6d, middling 34s 6d to
35s 6d, low 33s 6d to 345, fine brown 32s 6d to 335, good
325, low to good grey 33s to 375, and out of condition 32s
to 35s 6,1; a part only found buyers. The bulk con-
sisted of the lower kinds.
FOREICIN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and shippers as well as home trade buyers made
purchases with caution in the private market; in prices,
however, little variation took place.
MoLAssEs.---Former rates are well supported for West
India, and a fair amount of business has been concluded
at fully former rates, indeed some parties will not sell
thereat. For low to fine the prices paid are from 15s to
18s per cwt. East India Treacle has been sold to a fair
extent at 15s to 15s 6d per cwt, and a less quantity is
on offer. For Honey rather mor money has been ob-
tained.

COFFEE.-This afternoon there was more firmness on
the part of holders of Coffee, and the market was less
freely supplied with both home trade and shipping sorts;
there is, however, not much desire evinced to do busi-
ness privately. At public sale 699 bags 27 casks Ceylon
were all sold; fine Plantation went rather higher, and
all other sorts at full rates; Native, good ordinary rea-
lised 26s 6d to 275, ordinary 265, damaged 21s to 265;
Plantation, very fine 70s to 725, fine 62s 6cl to 65s 6d,
good 52s to 595, low middling 435, fine fine ordinary 35s
to 375, fine ordinary 32s to 335, fine ordinary brickey
29s 6d, and damaged 21s to 40s.
CocoA.-West India is not much in demand, and
former rates are barely supported. Red is to be obtained
at from 38a to 435, and grey 36s to 395. The market
for Foreign is dull, at 29s to 32s per cwt.
Tee.-For publio competition on Thursday the quan-
tity declared is 700 pkgs of Assam. Black has been
dealt in with caution, and quotations still incline down-
wards, as the market is well supplied with most kinds.
Congon of ord quality is to be purchased at bid to 7d,
good ord lid, mixed blackish leaf 8d to 81d, Blackish

Orange Pekoe of ord and mid quality can be purchased
at 7d to Is, good and fine scented is 2d to 2s, black leaf
Pekoe 10d to is Bd, and flowery is to 3s per lb. Dealers
in both town and country are but moderately supplied,
and the consumption continues to exceed that of this time
in the former year.

bags of Ben
to do business in East India Rice. At auction 1,697

the firmness in the market, and

SALTPETRE.-There is firmness on the part of holders
of Rough, and they continue to supply the market
sparingly. A good home and export demand exists, and
the rates paid are fully equal to those current on
this day week. The value of low to fine quality is
95s to 975. At auction 2,000 bags of Calcutta
realised 25s for middling 9 per cent refraction, damaged
22s 6d to 235. The
stock is not much larger than last
year. but deliveries exhibit a material increase, and
prices are lower by 2s to 3s per cwt. British refined has
been in excellent request at 28s 6d to 295. For Nitrate
of Soda the market is dull at lls 6d to I2s, and the ten-
dency of prices is to recede.
SPIRITS.-Brandy is not lower in value, still buyers
make purchases with caution, deliveries keep upon a
large scale, and the stock is moderate. For Cognac
best brands of the vintage of 1845 holders ask 5s Id
to 5s 3d, 1846 4s 9d to 4s Ild, 1847 3s 9d
