MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Feb. 6.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar insisted
upon former rates for all descriptions, but there was a falling
off in the demand, and the business transacted was extremely
limited, the private sales only reaching 60 hhds, &c.
REPINED.—In the value of Refined Sugar little variation
has taken place this week, although the home trade hare
purchased with caution, and there is an increased quantity
being produced ; the business transacted has been much less
than it was last week.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius met with attention,
and 3,841 bags 34 casks at auction were sold at full rates, in-
deed in some cases a small advance was obtained.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon, at public sale, 1,231 bags of
Bengal Sugar were sold at full rates, indeed the brown sorts
went rather higher.
FOREIGN.—To.day there was little desire evinced to ope-
rate in Foreign Sugar, and 1,509 boxes of llavannah at auc-
tion were all taken in rather above the value.
MOLASSES.—This afternoon 242 puns. of West India wore
offered at auction, and nearly all taken in at full rates, 20s
for Berbice, St. Lucia, Domminica, and Trinidad.
COFFEE.—Thin afternoon there was little business trans-
acted in any kind of Coffee ; 47a is the nearest value of good
old Native Ceylon.
TEA.—To-day the demand was extremely limited at the
public sale, but any general decline in prices was prevented
by merchants buying in and withdrawing the principal part
offered.

Srmas.--Although there are sellers of Calcutta Rum at a
reduction on previous rates of Id per gallon, still the business

transacted has been to a mall extent. Leeward Island can
be obtained upon rather lower terms, still the demand has
been trilling. Jamaica has been purchased with caution, the
rates taken are a shade under those previously quoted. For
Demerara the demand has been only for small parcels, but in
the value little variation has taken place. The demand has
fallen off considerably for Brandy this week, and a decline in
the value has taken place. Geneva has been sold to a fair
extent for exportation, common at 2s 4d to 2s 6d, and fine
for home consumption 2s 10d to 3s. The value of British
Corn Spirits is 10s 6d per gallon nett cash.
Smcss.—To-day Cassia Lignea met with more attention,
and 145 chests at auction were sold at former rates • 92 bags
of White Pepper went at 33/4d to 3%d per lb for low mid-
dling quality.
Fnurr.---There is no particular new feature to notice this
week, flatness continues to be the order of the day—prices of
most descriptions nominal.
Rica.—To-day 676 bags of Bengal at auction were taken
in rather above the value—middling white at 16s 6d, low
middling rather dusty and broken 15s 6d to 16s; 82 chests of
Pearl Sago were sold at 25s to 268 for good small Pearl.
SALTPETRE.-To-day there was little desire shown to pur-
chase rough, but holders evinced firmness. The value of
English refined is 29s 6d to 30s, but there has not been much
business done. Nitrate of Soda has been purchased with
caution at 15s. per cwt.
COCIIINEAL.—A good demand has prevailed, and the par-
cels offered at public sale, amounting to 147 bags, were mostly
sold at full rates. _

Ott .s.—A brisk demand has prevailed for Linseed Oil for
home consumption,and a further advance in prices took place.
For forward deliver the operations are upon a more extended
scale at the improved rates of 25s Gd to 263. Rape Seed Oil
is still little wanted. Olive Oil is held with firmness, and a
fair amount of business has been transacted. The market for
Cocoa Nut Oil is in a dull state. Palm is still held with firm-
ness. Southern cannot be obtained at any further reduction.
Cod is not offered upon lower terms, but the business trans-
acted has been to a small extent. Seal is still wanted and
prices continue to go down. Sperm has been purchased
with caution, although there are sellers upon lower terms.
Lard Oil is neglected.
TALLow.—Although there are sellers of Russian on the
spot at a further reduction, still the demand has been
limited. For delivery next month there has been very little
business transacted. For the last three months of the year
we have no transactions yet to report. Other descriptions
have been purchased with caution, and the prices taken
privately on the spot are rather under those previously
quoted. Home-made met with only a moderate demand.

ORIGIN OF THE LEAGIIE.--In consequence of the
l Prentice, &nil Philip James Howie (now of
Edinburgh),
reference by Lord Radnor in the House of Lords, to thn seven
persons who originated the movement which gave rise to the
National Anti-Corn-law League, we have had letters from
various parts of the kingdom, requesting us to name the in-
dividuals. They were, Edward Baxter, (now of Belfast),
W. A.
Cunningham,
Thomson. At the second meeting of the association, tilthough
above fifty persons had given in their subescriptions,
njgamhaems ,
Leslie, An Andrew wA Dalziel,rehiba
there was again an attendance of seven, the place of
Mr. Baxter, who was absent, having been taken. by Mr.
William Rawson, now the treasurer of the League.
Mr. Rawson was the first Englishman who joined the
association. Of the original seven, six were natives
i of Scot-
land, and one of Ireland. The grand impulse to the move-
ment was given when Mr. Cobden, who was abroad at the
time of its origination, joined it. The first person who sub-
scribed more than five shillings was Mr. Robert Stni irt, now
one of the magistrates for the borough, who, on hi iing ap-
plied to, said " What is the use of subscribing five &killings ?
