MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of May 22.)
SUGAR.-1 o-day, although there were sellers of West
India upon rather lower terms, still the purchases made were
extremely limited in all descriptions, and did not exceed 110,
making the total sales for the week 1,280 hhds and tre, and
the decline in prices in that time is per cwt. The market
closes heavily for all kinds.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were less in demand by
the home trade, bnt lower rates were not generally talcen—
the Refiners are, however, more disposed to sell for forward
delivery. In bonded Crushed Sugar a good deal ha: been
done, and it is difficult to purchase first quality under 32s
per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon, at public sale, 1,783 longs of
Bengal Sugar were offerred, but nearly all taken in at full
value.
MAURITIUS.—An increased desire has been shown I,y im-
porters of all descriptions to realise this week, and the de-
mand having fallen off for Grocery as well as for „Re ining
purposes, a decline on last week's rates of is per c-s.-t has
taken place.
FOREIGN.—For yellow and brown Havannah previous
rates are insisted upon, but there has been little business
transacted privately in any kind, and a public sal .e of 922
chests went off quietly at former prices. Holders of all kinds
Of Brazil manifest firmness, and will .not sell but at f all rates.
NoLitssEs.—There has been much inquiry after all de-
scriptions of West India, and higher rates have been c tfered,
but business of moment has been prevented by the :.canty
supply at market. Honey of low quality has been. again
largely dealt in, and brings better prices—for the 1 • sorts
