MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nor. 10.)
SUGAR.—To-day holders of Raw Sugar for the most
part refused to make any further concession in the value,
and less freely supplied the market, but there was not a
better home or export demand. West India was dealt in
with caution both for the pan and scale, upon the terms
of yesterday. The quantity sold amounts to only 360
hhds, &c., including a public sale of 68 hhds 5 tres and
245 brls Barbadoes, which went off flatly at a decline on
Tuesday's rates of 6d to Is per cwt; good soft yellow
sold at 375, middling ditto 35s to 365, low 34s 6d, and
brown 33s 6d per cwt. The total purchases for the
week are only 1,313 hhds, &c. The market closes
heavily.

REFINED.—To-day Refined Gooda met with a dill
demand for home trade purposes, and rather lower rates
were accepted; we quote Lumps at 48s for Standard,
and 47s to 47s 6d for brown grocery. The market for
bonded crushed is firm at former rates.

35s Gd to 37s 6d.

TEA.-Holders have refrained from submitting any to
public sale, but privately the market is well supplied
with all kinds. Prices continue to rule under those of
this time in the past year. Black met with little atten-
tion, and there are sellers at a further reduction. Con-
gou of ordinary quality can be obtained at 64d to 7d,
good ordinary lid to Bd, better kind 9d to is 3d. Pekoe
flavour is 4d to is ltd; Pouchong 4d to 6d, good 7d to 8d;
Souchong 7d to is 6d, fine is 9d to 2s 2d per lb. There is
much dulness in the market for Green, and prices are
receding. There are sellers of low Hyson at Is to Is 2d,
mid and good is 3d to 2s, fine and very superior 2s 2d
to 3s 6d; Young Hyson, low 6d to 10d, mid is to Is

ferior 3d to sd, better sort 6d to Bd, Hyson kind 9d to ls.
Pekoe Teas are more in demand, but at former low
rates, and the stock on hand continues to be plentiful.

7d to ls, good scented is 2d to is 6d, fine is 8d to 2s.
For Black leaf Pekoe there is a dull sale at is to is 9(1,
flowery ls 3d to 2s 4d, and fine 2s 6d to 3s per lb.
RICE.-To-day a better demand existed for Cleaned
Rice, and prices ruled firm; Patna at 12s to 17s, supe-
rior 18s to 19s, town-dressed Carolina 25s to 28s, and
American ditto at 21s to 22s per cwt. For East India
the market is quiet, and prices rather lower.
SPICES.-With brown Nutmegs the market has been
plentifully supplied this week, and prices are Id to 2d
lower, yet a good demand has been experienced. The
parcels offered at auction amounting to 82 packages
were all sold. Mace is not much wanted, and must
be quoted 2d to 4d clitaper. At auction 51 packages
were all sold. For Cloves the market is in-
active, and 36 chests of Penang sold at Is 5d to
Is 6d for good bold bright, which are lower rates by 2d
per lb. Ginger has been dealt in with caution by ex-
porters and home dealers, and prices are receding. At
auction 40 brls Jamaica were taken in at 65s for mid.
Of black Pepper none has been offered at auction, whilst
privately the operations have been small for all purposes,
and there is a large stock with only the usaal consumption.
White is dull of sale at 4d to 9d, Cayenne 9d to 2s
per lb, and pod at 30s to 60s per cwt. Of Pimento the
supply continues to get smaller; there is a good demand
by private treaty at 5(1 to sid per lb. For Cassia Lignes
prices are still nominal, as there is scarcely any here;
but a large parcel is near at hand. Cinnamon is dull
of sale.

SPIRITS.—For East India Rum lower rates having
been taken occasion a large business to be concluded this
week, and 700 puns have been sold at Is 3id to is 4d.
Leeward Island, however, met with little attention, and
Is 4d to Is 4id is the nearest value of proof. Demerara
is dull of sale, and must be quoted lower; the sales
are only 200 puns at 2s to 2s ld for 30 to 33 per
cent proof, and 33 to 35 over 2s 2d to 2s 3d.
There is little desire on the part of exporters or home
trade buyers to do business in Jamaica Rum, and prices
keep on the decline. The value of 28 to 30 per cent of
plain quality is 2s 8d to 2s 10d, 30 to 34 over middling
and good middling 3s to 3s 4d, 33 to 36 over good 3s 6d
to 3s Bd, fine 3s 9d to 4s, and superior at4s to 4s 4d. For
Brandy the market bas been quiet this week, and former
rates are not supported, but deliveries do not fall off.
We quote Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1845 al
5s Id to 5s 3d, ditto 1846 4s 9d to 4s 11d, 1847 3s 9d to

2s 9d, Spanish 2s 3d to 2s 4d, French 50 per cent over
proot 2s to 2s Id. Geneva is held for 2s to 2s Id for
exportation sort, and 2s 6d to 3s 6d for fine fit for duty.
For British Gin the export demand continues to get
larger, and prices are firm at 3s to 3s 3d per gallon.

but 3,230 bags Calcutta at auction were only in part
sold in consequence of holders asking an advance on
former rates of Gd per cwt; 255 bags Madras went at

went at 42s 6d to 45s 6d; 186 plags South American

FISHING WITH THE TRAWL NET.—We understand
that the Messrs. Hogarth have fitted up a decked vessel
for fishing haddocks and other white fish with this net,
at Pormahomack, and last week the first trial was made,
when eighteen scores of all kinds of fish were caught a
short distance from the harbour. This may be a lesson
to others, and if adopted at the different stations,_ may
secure a proper supply of fish, which is ROW much
wanted.—Elgin Courier.
