MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 16.)

SUGAR.-To-day importers of West India Sugar were un-
willing to further reduce th it prices, but the demand was
limited for all qualities, the purchases amounting to only
204 hhds and trs in the private market. At public sale 88
trs, 20 half ditto, and 35 barrels of chrystallised Demerara
Sugar were howe',-er sold at stiff rates-viz., fine grainy at
63s to 64s 6d, good 58s 6d to 60s, good middling 56s to
bis 6d, and middling 54s 6d to 55s 6d per cwt. The total
sales for the week amount to only 1,062 hhds and trs.
REFINRD.-There has been a falling off in the demand for
all descriptions of Refined Sugar for home consumption this
week, and more disposition has been shown to realise ; stocks
having slightly increased, the limited business transacted
has been at a reduction on previous rates of 6d to Is per cwt.
The refiners are working more freely, prices being still on the
decline for raw sugar of every sort. In the value of Pieces little
variation has taken place, but less business has been transacted,
For Bastards there are few buyers to be met with, and they
are offered at a further decline in prices. Crushed Sugar
manufactured here under bond has sustained the former value
of 33s 9d to 34s per cwt, there being scarcely any to be had
on the spot, and the refiners previously having sold all they
could snake fur some time ; but there has been less desire
manifested to do business this week at former rates. Treacle
is little wanted.
MAURITIUS.-Importers of this description for the most
part show firmness : on Tuesday 637 bags were submitted to
public competition, which, however, went at a decline on pre-
vious rates of 6d to Is per cwt; yesterday, however, at a
public auction of 10,298 bags 44 casks and 244 barrels, mer-
chants evinced more firmness, and obtained prices rather in
advance.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon at public sale 2,129 bags of
Bengal and 554 bags of Madras was offered; the former
mostly sold at the previous value, viz., good white at 53s to
53 6d, middling 51s 6d to 52s 6d, damp and walked 49s 6d
to 51s fine sound strong Dobah kind 54s 6d to 555, tine yellow
Mauritius kind 51s. good 495, low 45s to 453 6d, and washed
44s 6d, the latter all sold at the full worth, middling yellow
fetched 44s 6d to 465, damp and washed 43s to 45s 6d per cwt.
FOItEIGN.-This afternoon, at public sale, 90 barrels Per-
nambuco sugar were all sold, middling soft white at 23s to

Savanilla went as follows-mid bright damp yellow 20s,
washed 19s, tine damp yellow Loaves 2'2s per cwt.
MOLASSES.-Prices are sustained for West India, the
stock being small, and much less than it was last year ; a
fair business has been transacted privately, and Demerara of
fair mid quality has brought 21s 6d. Bengal Treacle is at
present not much wanted, but holders refrain from pressing
sales, and require 20s to 21s per cwt for good quality. For
Honey a decline in price has taken place, and there is a
larger quantity offering for sale.
COFFEE.-This afternoon Mocha Coffee met with little
attention, and 361 bales were offered at auction, about
half sold at a decline on former rates at 3s to 4s
per cwt-good yellow long berry went at 70s to 71s, low
middling brownish was taken in at 50s to 545, which is above
the value. Of Ceylon 240 bags were sold at the full worth,
bulked good ordinary pale went at 48s, low ordinary 46s to
475, country damaged 35s 6d, and sea damaged 38s 6d;
15 casks British Plantation were bought in. 45 barrels Rio
sold, middling at 58a to 60s, tine fine ordinary 50s, and fine
ordinary 365.
Cocos-There has been a better demand for West India,
but holders have been unable to obtain any advance in
prices-at auction 111 bags of Trinidad were sold, middling
dark red at 43s 6d, middling grey 413, low 35s to 375, and
sea damaged 245. The market being better supplied with -

sale 550 bags Para were sold, good ordinary dull grey 30s,
rather better 31s to 31s 6d, middling red 335, good fair 30s
6d to 31s, and sea damaged 27s to 28s per cwt.

with black Pepper-at public sale 3,760 bags offered, nearly
the whole sold, but at a decline on former rates of id for Ba-
tavia, and I/8d per lb for Penang. Of Cassia Lignea the supply
is on the increase ; of 1,455 chests at auction a fair propor-
tion sold, but at a decline in former rates of is to 2s. 100

common 84d, faint mouldy 8d to 94d, white is cheaper-good
bold was taken in at 10d per lb.
SPIRITS.-Importers of Jamaica Rum have been more in-
clined to realize since our last report, and submitted to a re-
duction on former rates of 2d to 3d per gallon for the low and
middling qualities, and rather lower prices for good
and fine kinds. A reduction of 2d to 3d per gallon
having been submitted to for Demerara, occasioned
a much better demand, and the large quantity of
450 puns were disposed of. Leeward Island is not to be had
at any further decline, but there has been little desire shown
to operate. Calcutta is held for the former value, but the
demand has been only for small parcels. In Brands, sales
to a large extent have been made at full rates-holders of
all kinds show much firmness. Of Geneva several parcels
have been taken for shipping at 2s 2d to 2s 3d for common,
fine for home use selling at 2s 6d to 2s 10t1 in small quantities.
TEA.-There has been a brisk demand for Congou, and
the advanced rates previously established have been fully
supported for all descriptions. In Pouchong there has been
a good business transacted. In Twankay several purchases
have been made. Hyson has been in excellent request at
the advanced rates previously established. Young Hyson
and Hyson Skin have been disposed of to a fair extent
at the previous currency. Gunpowder is wanted. In
