MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of July 21.)
SUGAR.—Today West India was purchased with caution
by Refiners and Grocers, although there were sellers at a
reduction on the rates of yesterday of 6d per cwt. The pur-
chases amounted to only 300 hhds and trcs, including 74 hhds
of Trinidad at public sale, which sold 46s for low yellow, and
at 46s 6d for middling yellow.
REFINED.—The Refiners are still free sellers, and sub-
mitted to further reduced rates for all descriptions of
goods, still the town and country trade have pur-
chased with caution, taking only sufficient for their
immediate wants; although the supply is by no means large.
To-day the Refiners were not inclined to further reduce their
prices for Refined goods, but there was little business trans-
acted by the home trade. In bonded Crushed Sugar there is
very little passing, but there are not sellers of first sort under
33s 6d per Cwt.
Manstrrtus.—Although there are sellers by private contract
at a reduction on previous rates of 6d to Is per cwt., still the
business transacted in all descriptions has been extremely
limited by Grocers and Refiners.
EAST Istnta.—this afternoon the quantity of Madras Sugar
offered at public sale was large, and amounted to 9.310 bags,
but a small part only sold in consequence of holders not being
inclined to reduce their prices.
FOREIGN.—To-day at public sale 500 hhds of Cuba Mus-
covado Imported by a British ship were all taken in at 25s
to 26s for middling to fine yellow being above the value.
On Tuesday 89 trcs 324 barrels of St. Eustatia Sugar im-
ported by British ships are declared for public sale.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee met with more at-
tention, and 27 bales at auction sold at full rates, middling
yellowish at 53s 6d to 545, triage 28s, and black 14.
Congou the amount of business transacted has
been limited, and the supply consists chiefly of the better
kinds. In Pouchong the demand good, still prices do not
improve. For Ilyson the market has a quiet appearance,
and easier rates are taken. In Imperial there has been little
passing. Gunpowder has been sparingly dealt in, moderate
as prices are. Twankay is little wanted. Pekoe Teas are
offered upon low terms, without attracting much attention.
SPICES.—A good demand has prevailed for Pimento, but
holders are unable to obtain any advance in prices: 418 bags,
&c., at auction all found buyers. Cassia Lignea has been
more in favour, and the parcels sold were at improved rates.
Although the quantity of Jamaica Ginger brought to public
sale has been large, still the whole found buyers; good and
fine descriptions fetched full rates, low and middling went
upon lower terms. Nutmegs are offered upon further reduced
terms, but the demand has been limited. Mace is wanted,
and full rates are offered. For Black Pepper prices do not
improve. For White prices rule low, still the demand has
beta limited. For Cinnamon the market has a firmer appear-
ance, and at higher rates. Cloves are dull of sale.
FRTIT.—The market generally has been rather quiet this
week; but in prices no alteration can be made. Currants
appear to be held firmly at the advanced quotations, al- ,
though the recent accounts received from abroad continue
very favourable for the prospects of the new crop, and for
Raisins also.

RICE.—To-day an advance on former rates of 6d per cwt
being insisted upon for Bengal Rice, operated against busi-
ness, and the chief part of 2,864 bags 500 pockets at auction
was taken in. 3,378 bags Madras were offered, and all sold
at 6d advance.

been reduced 2d per gallon. English at lOs 4,d. per gallon net
cash, Scotch and Irish lOs 2d to lOs 3d. Gin at present is
not offered upon lower terms, but the market has a dull ap-
pearance.
INDIGO.—Today the East India Indigo passed the sale
consisted chiefly of Madras and Kurpah, for which the de-
mand was limited, and proprietors could only obtain last
sales' rates. Up to this day 12,576 chests have passed the
hammer, of which the proprietors have withdrawn 3,336
and bought in 2,237, leaving 6,303 actually sold.
Ou.s.—Although there are sellers of Rape Seed Oil at low
rates, still little business has been transacted. For Linseed
the market has a dull appearance, and prices are going down.
Cocoa Nut has been sold to a fair extent, and at firm rates.
Palm has been in excellent request, but merchants are in-
clined to realize. Cod has been purchased with caution, and
there is a larger quatity offering for sale. Holders of Seal
are unwilling to further reduce their prices, but the business
transacted has been small, prices ruling low for Southern oc-
casions the demand to be good. Sperm is a little wanted,
and fair to fine can be obtained at 761 to 801 per tun. Ame
rican Lard Oil is dull of sale at 371 to 38/.
TALLOW.—Although there are sellers of Russian on the
spot upon lower terms ; still very little business has been
transacted. For forward delivery few buyers are to be met
with. New South Wales on the spot has been sparingly
dealt in. American has met with a dull sale. Home made Tallow,
Tallow, however, has been largely dealt in, and 40e to 40s 6d
