MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of September 18.)
SUGAR.—To-day no further advance took place in the
value of Sugar subject to the 14s per cwt ; but the trade are
still inclined to increase their stocks, and merchants dis-
played firmness. In the West India market a good business
was transacted, and the rates given were fully equal to
those previously current for all kinds; the quantity sold
amounted to 600, making the total sales for the week 2,890
hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were largely dealt in
by the home trade ; brown lumps according to quality brought
62s 6d to 63s 6d, and standard lumps 64s to 64s 6d per cwt.
Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for higher rates, 33s 3d to 33s
6d being Esked for first'quality, but at present there are not
many buyers.
Mnunmus.—There has been an increased desire evinced
to operate in all descriptions this week, and by private con-
tract several parcels have been disposed of, in all 3,000 bags.
The rates paid in some cases are rather above those previously
current, and the market has been less freely supplied.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon there was little business trans-
acted privately in Foreign Sugar, but prices remain much the
same as previously. Of China 2,668 bags were offered at
auction, and sold at very full rates, low middling white rather
soft 498
soft fetching 50s to 50s 6d, damp 49s 6d to 50s, washed
to 50s, low middling yellow rather soft 46s to 46s 6d, damp
45s to 45s 6d, and washed 44s 6d per cwt.

MOLASSES.--A much better demand has existed for West
India, 600 puns having been sold at 23s to 23s 6d for An-
tigua, 23s for Dominica, 21s for St. Kitts, and at 21s 6d for
Tobago. Bally Khal Treacle is fetching 21s to 21s 6d
per cwt.

TEA.—The market is still in an inactive state; the stock
has been increased this week, but holders are unwilling to
. further reduce their prices, and refrain from offering any at
; public sale : of both black and green the trade only purchase
sufficient for their immediate wants, although the clearances
for home consumption continue to be large.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was sold to a fair
extent privately at 39s to 40s for low good ordinary and or-
dinary pale. For Plantation the demand was limited, and
556 bags at auction were all taken in above the value, fine
fine ordinary grey at 565, and fine ordinary at 545.
CocoA.—West India has been in brisker request, but hav-
ing a fair supply at market, holders have been compelled to
accept previous rates. In Foreign there has been more busi-
ness transacted privately, and at rather higher rates.
FnufT.—Of Currants the stock is much diminishing, none
remaining in importers hands ; but still the grocers, although
having scarcely any on hand, do not appear disposed to pur-
chase much at the advanced quotation, holding back for the
new, which are daily expected. Of New Valentia Raisins
two cargoes arrived this week. The whole have been taken
off eagerly at 425, the supply being very inadequate to the
demand.
RicE.—To-day there was little passing privately in Bengal
Rice; at auction 321 bags were offered; the sound was taken
in at 20s for good bold white, but the damaged sold at 13s 6d
to 17s 6d per cwt. Of Rio Tapioca 25 brls were disposed of
at 4id per lb for good sound quality.
SPICES.—To-day Nutmegs were not much in demand, and
63 pkgs of limed at auction were only in part sold, imported
from ➢Madeira sold at 3s 6d, wormy is 4d to is 6d, Batavia,
sound 3s, Boinbay 3s, Rotterdam 2s 6d, Singapore 2s I ld.
Mace met with little attention, and 8 chests at public sale,
imported from the Cape of Good Hope, were taken in at
3s 10d to 4s, being above the value. Of Cassia Buds 64
chests were bought in at 63a to 65s 6d, and 100 bags Malabar
Pepper at 3bd for heavy.
SPIRITS.—The arivals of Rum have increased this week,
and amounted to 750 pkgs of West India, and 49 pkgs of
East India. Although there are sellers of Leeward Island
Rum upon reduced terms, still the demand has been limited,
and 2s 3d to 2s 4d are the rates taken for proof strength.
Holders of Jamaica are unwilling to lower their prices, but
the market has a quiet appearance. Calcutta is little wanted,
and prices are lowering. For Demerara the market has
a quiet appearance, but 3s 2d to as 5d are the
rates insisted upon for strong sorts. There has been a
lively demand for Brandy, chiefly from the home trade, and
for all descriptions the market has a firm appearance. The
deliveries are yet on the increase, and prices rule firm.
Geneva has been in brisk demand for shipping at 2s 5d to
2s 6d, and at which holders are firm : fine for home con-
sumption is wanted at 2s 9d to 3s. British Corn Spirits have
been in brisk request.
Comm/as—The demand bas been good for all sorts
