MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

t From the London New Price OgrreJet of Jan. 28.)
SUGAR.—To•day a further advance was perceptible in
the value of raw sugar, and the quantity on offer was
not sufficient for the wants of the home trade. Theta

was much inquiry after West India for all purposes, and
the rates offered were 6d per cwt above those
that existed previously, but business was checked,
owing to the scanty supply. The quantity sold
amounted to 420 hhds and tierces, including at publie
sale, 84 hhds Barbadoes, which were readily disposed of
at a further advance of 6d per cwt—fine yellow realised
45s 6d, good 43s to 44s 6d, middling 40s 6d to 42s 6d
per cwt. The total purchases for the week amounted to
1.670 hbds and trcs, whilst the rise during that time
amounts to Is and is 6d per cwt.

REFINED.—Today refined goods were in excellent
request for home consumption, and stiffer rates were('
obtained, standard lumps selling at 565, and brown
grocery 55s to 55s 6d; the supply is exhausted. There

week, and realised rather higher rates. Sales to a fair
extent have been made, the better kinds meeting with

3s Id to 3s 3d for 35 to 37 per cent. ever proof, and
very fine 40 per cent. 3s 4d. For Leeward Island the
demand has been active, and prices must be quoted-id
to ld higher. The sales are 3,0(10 puns at is 8d proof
strength; small parcels, fit ' for duty, at is
East India is much 'wanted; purchases of moment
are prevented by the unwillingness of holders to
sell, and a further rise in the value is apparent. The
sales made have been at is Id to is ad proof with certi-
ficate. For Brandy former rates are well supported,
and there is yet a good demand. Geneva is wanted, and

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-HOLLOWAY'g OINTMENT AND
PILLS IN NEWYOUNDLAND.—CharIes Thorne, Esq., merchant, of
Harbour Grace, had a bad leg of a tearful nature and long duration.
for which the medical aid of the island afforded no relief, where-
upon he determined on proceeding to England to try if it were pos-
sible to get it soundly healed ; but, as a last resource, and before -
adopting such a course, he used Holloway's tills and Ointment
which speedily effected a cure of his leg. The particulars of MIS
surprising case were received by last packet from Mr. Spry, pro-
prietor of the " Mercury" newspaper, Carbonear, Newfoundland
These celebrated medicines are sold at Professor Holloway's Esta-
blishment, 244, Strand, London, and by all medicine venders.
