MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of September la.)
SUGAR.—To•day there was a stronger desire manifested
to purchase West India Muscovado Sugar for both the scale
and pan, and merchants were less inclined to realise. The
demand was brisk, and the rates paid were equal to those of
Friday; indeed, in some cases the better qualities of yellow
and grey brought 63 per cwt advance. The market has a
better appearance for Sugar subject to the 14s per cwt duty.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were largely dealt in by
the home trade, and prices advanced, brown grocery lumps
fetching 62s to 62s 6d, and standard lumps 63s to 63s Gd per
cwt. Crushed Sugar is little wanted for exportation, and
prices have declined, 33s per cwt being taken for first
quality.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon some parcels of Mauritius
Sugar were sold privately, and the bright grocery sorts in
some cases fetched stiffer rates.
FonEIGN.—In yellow Havannah for exportation the trans-
actions have been upon a more extended scale, iu conse-
quence of merchants lowering their prices 6d to is per cwt;
two floating cargoes were disposed of for Antwerp. Yellow and
brown Havannah were in excellent request by the home trade,
and brought full rates, but the market has been more freely
supplied. At auction 3,343 chests duty paid were all sold
and chiefly to the grocers. All sorts of Brazil have been
sparingly dealt in by private contract by our refiners and
grocers, and the prices accepted show a decline on those
previously current. Porto Rico is little wanted and
can be obtained upon rather lower terms; the
value of common to fine quality is 45s to 51s
per cwt. None has been offered at auction. For Cuba
Muscovado the market has a dull appearance, and prices
are lowering. The limited business transacted in China has
been at rather low rates. Java has met with little atten-

tion, and must be quotes rather cheaper. The tendency of
prices is still evidently downwards for Foreign Sugar, the
of both free and slave labour, although the deliveries
are yet on the increase, as stocks are heavy, and far exceed
those of last year, especially of Manilla and Havannah.
Prices of all kinds are, however, lower than they were at
that time.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 3,24 G bags
Bengal Sugar were offered ; a stronger desire was shown to
operate, and the whole sold Gd to is per cwt above former
rates.

MoussEs.—To. day several parcels of West India Molasses
were sold at 23s for Antigua, 23s fur Dominica, and at 21s
6d for Tobago. Bally Kahl Treacle is fetching 21s to 21s 6d
per cwt.
__

TEA.—Holders are unwilling to further reduce their prices,
and refrain from offering any at public sale, but the market
has a dull appearance for both black and green, although the
clearances for home consumption amounted to 529,0001b5.
during the past week. The value of low and good common
Congou, cash, is 8d to 9id ; Hyson, common, is 9d to is lid ;
and Twankay, low to fair yellowish leaf, Iod to is Id.
Coll-Ex.—This afternoon at public sale 301 bags of Bahia
Coffee sold at rather low rates, fine ordinary mixed went at
31s to 325, good ordinary ditto 29s to 30s 6d, ordinary 27s to
28s, sea damaged 24s to 295. 128 barrels 116 bags of Rio
went at full value, middling coloury selling at 50s, low
middling greenish 45s to 465, fine fine ordinary 40s to 43s 6d,
ordinary pale 335, and :sea damaged 29s to 375. Of Ceylon
none was offered at auction, and privately little business was
done ; there are sellers of good ordinary pale at 40s per cwt.
SPlCES.—Nutmegs have been in excellent request, and
previous advanced rates are sustained. Mace is still
attracting attention, and prices are rising. The better
qualities of Cloves are wanted, and previous im-
proved rates are fully snstained. For Eastern Pepper
former prices are sustained, and a fair business has been
transacted. Malabar is little wanted, still holders at present
will not further lower their prices. White has met with
more attention, but holders accept former low rates. Pimento
is less plentiful, and being wanted, prices rule firm.
Fine Jamaica Ginger has maintained the former value. East
India and African are little wanted, and prices are drooping.
Cassia Lignea is firm in price, and a fair demand. In the
better kinds of Cinnamon several purchases have been made,
and the ratespaid are rather above those of the last quarterly
sales.

FRUIT.—This afternoon at public sale 350 drums of New
Turkey Figs went at 80s, 200 drums of New Sultana Raisins
at 80s, 854 boxes 65 i-boxes of Icm Muscatel Raisins in
layers sold at 56s to 645,400 1-boxes,, and 400 *-do. Musca-
tel Raisins sold at 46s to 525, 63 boxes of old Jordan Almonds
taken in at 7/.

Srinrrs.—Holders of Jamaica Rum evince firmness in con-
sequence of the ships arriving bringing light cargoes, they
insist upon previous rates for all descriptions, and supply the
markets sparingly. To-day Demerara and Jamaica Rum
sustained the former value, but for other sorts lower rates
taken, prod Leeward selling at 2s 4d, and Calcutta at is
10d to is 101/2d, proof with certificate.
SALTPETRE.—To-day the better qualities of Rough were
sparingly dealt in, and 1,268 bags of Calcutta at public sale
only in part sold at barely former rates.

silvers 4s 8d to 5s 8d per lb.
Otis.—A further advance has taken place in the value of
Cocoa Nut, and large purchases have been made privately,
chiefly by the hone trade : indeed the market has bee❑ nearly
cleared. Palm has been in extensive request, and prices have
risen. Rape Seed Oil cannot be had upon lower terms, but
there has only been a limited business done, the market better
supplied. Olive has been extensively dealt in, holders evince
much firmness, and obtained 41/ to 421 for Gallipoli, 391
to 40/ for Spanish and Sicily, and 38/ to 39/ for Barbary,
Levant and Portugal; indeed some parties will not accept
these rates, as the stock is not so large as it was; consump-
tion going on satisfactorily, and the prospect of the arrivals
being much less than they were during last season. In Lin-
seed Oil large purchases have been made by the home trade,
and several parcels were taken for exportation. For Seal Oil
the demand is improvin;; ; holders evince firmness and supply
the market sparingly, a fair amount of business has been trans-
acted. There has ben but little desire to operate in Cod. With
Sperm the market is well supplied, 'and the demand being
limited, prices are lowering. For Linseed, Olive, Cocoa
Nut, and Palm prices arc above those of last season, but for
Rape Oil they are lower, as is the case with respect to all
Fish Oils.

TAnnow.—The home trade are still inclined to increase
their stocks with all descriptions, as the consumption is on
the increase, arrivals continuing to be deficient of last year
and prices ruling moderate. Holders have confidence,: and
supplied the market sparingly; although several parcels
have come in since this day week. There has been a large
business transacted in Russian on the spot, at stiffer rates,
fine new P. Y. Candle-bringing 42s 6d to 42s 9d, and old 42s
to 42s 3d. For forward delivery a good deal has been done.
Thedemand hts been active for home made, but the market
is still well supplied. All other kinds of Tallow have'met
with attention, and brought previous improved rates.:
