MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

tFrom the London New Price Current of March 21.)
SUGAR—Today prices further declined for all sorts
of raw Sugar, as supplies were plentiful, whilst there was
not the least improvement in the export demand, and the
home trade made purchase with caution. The decline to-
day was more apparent on the better sorts of Mauritius.
West India was operated with much caution for all pur-
poses, whilst the rates taken were rather under those
that existed on Friday, and there is a larger quantity of
all sorts on offer. The sales privately are only 150
hhds and trcs. Mauritius is cheaper than any other sort
of Sugar,
RELINED.—Today there was less demand for Refined
goods, and prices were not so firm; Standard Lumps
selling at 53s to 53s 6d, and brown grocery at 52s 6d;
there is also an increased quantity on offer. For Bonded
Crushed Sugar the demand is only for small parcels at
28s to 29s per cwt.

MAuarrzus.—This afternoon the quantity of Mau-
ritius Sugar offered at public sale was large, and con-
sisted of 4 parcels amounting to 12,150 bags, the prin-
cipal part comprised of middling and good yellow sorts.
There is a desire on the part of holders to sell, but
they submitting to prices is per cwt under these pre-
viously current for the better kinds of yellow, and 6d
for other sorts, caused nearly the whole to find buyers.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal was only in
limited demand, and the public sales of
.3,957 bags went
at a further decline of 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was little pasasing privately
in any kind of Foreign Sugar, although there were sellers
rather ander former rates. At public sale 12 bags and
6 barrels of Santa Martha were sold at 43s to 46i for
yellow, and at 52s for white; 5 hhds of Havannah at 46s
for very fine yellow.
COFFEE.—To-day there was little inclination evinced
to operate in Native Ceylon, and at public sale 1,348
bags were sold at barely the former ♦alue—real good
ordinary sold at 32s 5d to 335, damaged 26s 6d to 31s,
and pea bent), 38s. Plantation is little wanted, and can
be obtained on the private market at rather lower prices.
Threelitres and brls of Jamaica at auction were sold at
29s 6d to 38s for low to fine ordinary.
MoLAssEe.—Prices were lower for West India; and
217 puns at auction were taken in—ordinary St. Vin-
cents at 15s to 15s 6d, and middling 16s 6d to 17s per
cwt. Privately there was scarcely any business con-
cluded.

COCOA.-British Plantation is less required, and
holders are inclined to make a slight concession in the
value, notwithstanding the decreasing stock. At auction
820 bags of Trinidad were nearly all taken in, good
dark rod at 47 Gd to 48v, middling 475, middling grey
454, and good 465. The niArket for Foreign is dull,
prices are looking down, and rule at 325 to 341.3 per cwt.

TEA.—This afternoon the sales made in all sorts of
Teas were limited in the private market, and prices must
be quoted rather lower for Black and Green.
SPIRITS —Today East India Rum met with less de-
mand, and is Sid to Is 9d were the rates taken for
proof. For Leeward Island the market is quiet, and
proof of plain quality can be obtained at is 10d. Jamaica
is held for full rates, but the demand has fallen oil fur
1311

RlCE—Today the sales made privately in East India
mere of little moment, but holder. refused to submit to
any further reduction: at auction 585 bags of Java sold
at 5s 6d to 9s for sea damaged.
SPICES.—To-day Pimento met with little attention,
and 338 bags at auction were only in part sold at barely
the former value ; ord 3id, good ord 41d, low mid, 44-d,
and mid 4id. Black Pepper was dealt in with caution,
and 658 bags 400 robins, were only in part sold at
rather lower rates. Of Batavia Nutmegs 26 cases ware
sold at 2s 6d to 2s 7d for good bold limed, which are
lower rates.

SALTFETRE.—To-day the demand for Rough was ac-
tive, and advanced rates were obtained ; there are seve-
ral buyers for arrival—Calcutta 12 to 9 per cent refrac-
tion is worth 32s Gd to 335, and 8 to 3 per cent 33s 6d to
355. At pablic sale 64 bags went at 35s for 4.} per cent
refraction.

INDIGO.—There are snllers of East India at a reduc-
tion on last sales rates of 3 1 to 4d, yet the sales made
have been trivial in all kinds for every purpose. Of
tine Bengal, the supply is. however, yet scanty, but it is
little required. The dealings in Spanish have been
trivial, although holders are inclined to make a slight
couce.sion in the value for all sorts.

Oms.--The market has be( n better supplied with
all common Fish Oils, and the home trade evincing little
inclination to make purchases, prices are depressed
for all kinds. A further falling off is apparent
in the deliveries, and arrivals are upon a more
extended scale. In Seal the sales made privately
aro limited. in all sorts, notwithstanding the decline
in the value, and a part only of 54 tuns at auction found
buyers. Cod is little required, and can be obtained at
241 lOs to 251; at auction G tuns went at 221 to 241 lOs.
The market is in a quiet state for all sorts of Southern,
and prices • are receding. Of 85 tuns from
America at auction, a part only sold. For Sperm
There is a good demand, and holders display firmness.
At auction 35 tuns were all sold. There are few buyers
of Cocoa Nut, and holders are willing to accept further
reduced rates. At auction 30 tons from Sydney were
taken in at 43s to 45s per cwt. The value of good and
fine Ceylon is 50s to 525. Of Nut Oil 12 tons East India
at public sale were taken in at 381 lOs to 39/ per ton.
Olive is held for full rates, but buyers are cautious in
their proceedings, the deliveries are yet exceeding the
arrivals.

TALLOW —Holders of Russian are asking higher rates
on the spot, biit the town as well as country trade have
operated with reluctance by reason of the diminished
consumption. The value of fine P.Y. Candle is 50s 9d
to 51s par cwt; these rates, however, are only obtainable
for small parcels. A good demand exists for delivery in
the last three months of the year, and the price is firm
at 465. Town made is little required. Other sorts
realised stiffer rates.
