MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Lendon New Price Current of Nov. 14.)
&MAR.—To-day holders of West India were firm,
and refused to sell but at fully former rates. There was
more desire evinced by the home trade to make pur-
chases. The total quantity sold amounted to 720 hhds,
&c., incluiing at auction 175 hhds and 2 tres Barbadoes,
which went off with more spirit, and at stiffer rates; fine
yellow realised 418 61, good 37s 6d to 38s 6d, middling
36s to 375, and low 35s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were dealt in more
readily for home-trade purposes, and brown lumps were
easily to be purchased at 47s to 47s 6d, and Standard
lumps 48s per cwt; there is also an increased quantity
on offer. Bonded Crushed Sugar is yet scarce, and
much wanted at former rates.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius was dealt in
with caution, and 2,249 bags at auction only in part sold,
but former rates were kept up, fine yellow went at 38s
to 38s 6d, good 36s 6d to 37s 6d, middling 35s to 365,
low 33s 6d to 345, fine brown 335, and out of condition 32s
6d to 34s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 5,315 bags, but
a small part only sold at rather lower rates; good grainy
white went at 455, good and fine yellow ditto 39s to
41s, good soft 365 6d, low ,to middling 32s to 35s 6d,
Mauritius kind good 37s to 38s, low and middling 34s
6d to 365. Madras is not much wanted, and of 3,227
bags at auction a very small part only sold at barely for-
mer rates; middling soft brown went at 28s 6d, good 29s
to 29s 6d, ordinary yellow 30s 6d to 31s, and middling to
good 32s to 34s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and privately the purchases made were of little
moment, although merchants offered to accept rather
lower rates.

COFFEE.—To day Plantation Ceylon Coffee was dealt
in with more freedom at the public sales, which consisted
of 1,358 bags and 76 csks, the whole sold at rather higher
rates, fine realised 61s 6d to 71s 6d, good middling and
good 52s to 595, middling 45s to 50s, low mid-
dling 403 to 445, fine fine ordinary 34s to 395, fine
ordinary 30s to 335, other sorts 24s to 295. Native met
with a fair demand, and 963 bags fetched 27s for good
ordinary, and damaged 23s 6d to 25s 6d, which are full
rates. 67 bags Madras, fine fine ordinary 463 6d to 495,
firm ordinary 35s to 40s. 663 bags Rio taken in at 25s
for good ordinary pale ; but 148 brie 17 casks and 80
bags Laguayra sold, low middling. 455, fine fine ordi-
nary 30a to 32s 6d, fine ordinary 29s 6d, good ordinary
26s to 28s.

TEA.—There are sellers of Black rather under former
rates, yet the trade make purchases with caution, and
low to good ord Congou can be purchased at 6id to lid
per lb. For Green the market is in a dull state,
and prices keep on the decline. With all kinds

the market is plentifully supplied. Deliveries keep
larger than last year, and there is a smaller stock, whilst
prices rule under those that existed at that time.
None has been submitted to public sale, but some
parcels will be declared shortly. Imports were 10,000
packages during the past week, whilst during that time
duty was paid upon 505,636 lbs. Stocks in the hands of
town and country dealers are by no means large, and it
is a matter of surprise that the market should continue
in a dull state.

RICE.—To-day the market was well supplied with
East India Rice, the quantity offered at auction
amounted to 9,204 bags and 1,307 pockets; there
was little desire evinced to do business, and
a part only sold at a decline on former ratesd
of 3d to 6d per cwt ; Madras, mid and good

,SPICES.—To-day Black Pepper met with little atten
lion, and 3,580 bags at auction were only in part sold at
the former value—good clean Black Sumatra 24d to 24d,
ordinary grey 2d to 31d, and African lid to 2id; 66
bags of Pimento went at sd.
SPIRITS.—Brandy has met with less attention, and
must be quoted a little cheaper; *deliveries do not fall
off. Cognac.best brands of the vintage of 1845 can be
bought at 5s ld to 5s 3d; ditto, 1846, 4s 9d to 4s I Id;
ditto, 1847, 35 9d to 3s Ild ; inferior, 3s to 3s 4d ;
Bordeaux, 2s 4d to 2s 9d ; Spanish, 2s 3d to
2s 4d, and French 50 per cent over proof at 2s to 2s Id.
Geneva is not much wanted-2s to 2s ld is the value of
export sort, and 2s 64 to 3s 6d for fine fit for duty. For
British made Spirit the demand is good, and the export
value is still 3s to 3s 3d per gallon. There is yet no
accumulation of stock. To day Rum was only in li-
mited demand, and prices have still a downward tendency,
East India selling at Is 3d to is 3id proof, Leewards
Is 3id to is 41d, and 200 puns and hhds of Demerara
30 to 31 per cent over proof is I Id. The price of
British made Spirit has been reduced to lOs per gallon.
In Ireland a material fall has taken place.
INDIGO.—There has been little disposition evinced to
do business in East India during the last few days, either
for home trade purposes or exportation. Holders are
firm, and insist upon last quarterly sale's rates for all
kinds. Spanish is not cheaper, but the market has as-
sumed a quiet aspect. Of all sorts of Indigo there is a
smaller stock than last year, but deliveries are less.
COCHINEAL.—There was only a limited demand to.
day, and of the 150 bags offered at public sale, a part
only sold at 3s 4d to 4s for low to good kinds of silvers,
and which are former terms.—Black was taken in at
5s 2d to 5s 7d, and Mexican 4s Id per lb.
SALTPETRE.—To-day Rough was in excellent demand
and 1,168 bags at auction sold at 25s for mid grey 101. to
9 per cent refraction, which'is the full value. By private
treaty some parcels were taken at 25s to 27s per cwt.
FRIIIT.—To-day at public sale 338 pkgs of Malaga
Valencia Raisins were sold at 33s to 345, one lot 295;
2,612 ditto Muscatel Raisins, boxes 49s to 575, ditto in
layers 48s to 50s, * to boxes 703 to 98s; 993 boxes
Jordan Almonds 71 to 101 7s; 100 t% chts of Prunes 20s;
210 pkgs damaged Valencia Raisins 355; 8 pkgs
Valencia Almonds 41 10s; 11 pkgs Malaga Figs 348.
TALLow.—Although there is a large stock, and many
parcels yet to arrive, still holders are firm and insist upon
45s to 45s 3d per cwt for fine New P.Y. Candle on the
spot, at which a good business has been concluded.
For delivery up to the close of the year many sales have
been made at 44s fid to 455, and at which there are not
free sellers. Home made is in excellent request at 45s to
45s 64 net cash, and the quantity on offer is not so plen-
tiful. Other kinds realised fully as much money. At auction
160 pkgs South American went at 42s 3d to 44s 3J, and
86 csks New South Wales 42s 64 to 45s 6d per cwt. De-
liveries of Tallow continue to exceed those of List year;
arrivals are much larger, and prices are not above that
time. On Friday 600 pkgs will he offered at auction.
Rough Fat is quoted at 2s 7d per stone of 81bs.
OlLS.—There are sellers of Cocoa Nut Oil at further
reduced rates, yet the trade operate with caution, and a
part only of 539 hhds of Cochin at auction found
buyers at 39s 9d to 40s per cwt for fine. Rape-
seed Oil is yet little wanted : pale can be obtained at
36s to 36s 6d, brown at 35s 6d, and a large quantity is
on offer. Although Linseed Oil can be obtained at
the low rates of 21c 6LI to 22s on the spot, still home

dealers operate with reluctance, and there are few export
orders at market. Fur wt. *o.rd delivery only a trifling
amount of business has been concluded at 22s per tun.
There is a large supply of Oil, but the consumption con-
tinues of a satisfactory nature, as prices are low com-
pared.with late years. Olive is further depressed in value,
and exporters as well home trade buyers continue to
operate with caution. Palm is in good request, and fine
realised 33s 6d to 34s per cwt, but several cargoes are
shortly expected. Lard Oil has been dealt in with cau-
tion; English at 41s to 42R, and American at 39s to 40s.
Sperm Oil has been in brisk demand, and realised further
advanced rates, but the supply is more plentiful. At
auction 80 tuns of Colonial were sold. Southern met
with little attention by private treaty, and former rates
cannot be obtained. At auction 28 tuns realised 261 lOs
to 271 for fine quality.. Cod is dull of sale. Seal is
cheaper, and only a small amount of business has
been concluded, there is also a larger amount on offer.
At public sale 126 tuns were in part disposed of.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 14.—The duty on wheat has ad-
vanced to 6s per quarter, and on flour to 6s 7id per bar-
rel, which were the only alterations last week. The im-
ports since Tuesday from Ireland coastwise are consider-
able of oats and oatmeal, but moderate of all other arti-
cles. There are no arrivals from Canada, and from
foreign ports only 4,787 quarters of wheat, 6,826 quarters
of Indian corn, 1,460 barrels of cor❑ meal, 637 sacks
and 29,781 barrels of flour. The exports in the same
time amount to 1,359 quarters of wheat, 9,886 quarters
of Indian corn, 192 barrels of corn meal, 495 sacks and
2,080 barrels of flour. The weather during the past week
was extremely cold and frosty, with a slight fall of snow,
and since it has been very fine and dry, which should
improve the condition of the new wheat. The sales of
wheat were very limited, and generally at a small de-
cline. There was not much passing in oats or oatmeal,
but holders were firm, and the few sales made were at
Tuesday's currency. Barley, beans, and pease were in
retail demand, without any change in prices. Flour was
very dull, and in some instances 661 per barrel less was
taken for Western Canal, ex ship. Irish held at former
rates, and little sold. A moderate demand was expe-
rienced for Indian corn, at the full rates of Tuesday;
36s was paid for Ibraila yellow, and per barrel for
corn meal. At this day's market there was a fair at-
tendance of both town and country dealers, but the dis-
couraging reports from Mark-lane caused great caution
to be exercised in purchasing, and the amount of busi-
ness was altogether very moderate. Wheat was 2d to
3d per 701 b lower for all descriptions; and flour was is
per sack and barrel cheaper, and few sales could be
effected at these reductions. There were a few inquiries
for oats, and prices of this day week were supported;
but oatmeal was extremely heavy, and 6d per load
lower. Barley without change. Peas were offered 2s
per quarter lower. Beans met a fair retail sale, and
were fully as dear. For Indian corn a good demand
was experienced, and prices of the best were the same as
last week, and mixed parcels of sound quality were
rather dearer. Indian corn meal, 17s 6d to 18s per barrel.
CHELMSFORD CATTLE FAIR.-Phis fair was held yes-
terday, and was in general exceedingly well supplied
with most descriptions of stock; the attendance of
farmers and dealers, too, was large, and though business
was rather slow in the early part of the morning,
owing to those who came to purchase standing out
for lower prices, the difference was eventually ad-
justed, and large numbers both of beasts and sheep
were disposed of before the close of the day, but at
prices rather below those which prevailed at the late
fairs in this part of the kingdom. Of beasts the show
was very large, including some very good Herefords,
which sold at 131 each; the greater portion of this
description of stock was disposed of. Of sheep there
were about 8,000 penned, including a larg, number in
fine condition by Mr. T. Crooks; and in fact there did
not appear the slightest trace of disease amongst any
exhibited. The trade was described by the large dealers
as dull and heavy—that is, business could not be done
without a reduction in price, but between 6,000 and
7,000 were disposed of, Down ewes fetching from 26s to
345, and lambs 18s to 28s. Of horses the show was not
so large, but there were a few good cart-horses, which
were much sort after, and sold at high prices. Of nag
horses there was but a middling display, and many of
these left the field undisposed oil—Essex Herald.
LEEDS, Nov. 14.—Contrary winds during the past
week or two have caused our supplies of grain here to-
day to be less than they otherwise would have been,
nevertheless we have had a dull trade. Wheat and barley
must be noted fully Is per quarter cheaper. Oats and
beans are also each rather lower.
MANCHESTER, Nov. 14.—Up to the time we write,
the market has exhibited great steadiness, and a fair
amount of business is doing. Prices are maintained with
firmness, but ❑o advances can be established. In general
any attempt to obtain higher rates is unsuccessful, and
checks operations. Low descriptions of madapollams
and printers (particularly 36 inches) are in good rt,quest
at last week's prices. The same is the case with long
cloths of low and middle qualities. T. cloths suitable
for the Italian market are also in fair demand. 9.8
shirtings of good qualities have been rather more asked
for yesterday and to-day, and full prices obtained for
them. 40 inch shirtings, fine makes, are comparatively
inactive. Domestics or good qualities are steady at last
week's prices. In the yarn market a tolerable amount of
business doing, and prices are steady. Offers to operate
on rather a large scale have been made by some shipping
houses to-day ; but they have not been accepted—spin-
ners generally showing an increasing firmness.—Man-
cheater Examiner and Times.
W OOLLEN CLOTHS.—LEEDS, Nov. 14.—The at-
.

tendance of buyers at market to-day was fully as large
as usual, especially in the white cloth-hall, and a tole-
rably extensive amount of business was done ton the
season. The principal sales were in fancy cloakings and
other fabrics adapted to the fancy cloth business, with
a few broad cloths suitable for the spring trade. There
was nothing new with regard to prices.
BLANKETS.—HECKMONDWIRE, NOV. I3.—There was
an improved attendance of merchant? in the blanket-
hall this afternoon, and a greater amount of business was
done than on two or three market days past, without any
change in the marketable value of the goods sold.
KIRELALDY, Nov. 11.—We had here to-day fair sup-
plies of wheat and barley, and large of oats. Sales
generally were rather slow. Old wheat brought last
week's rates. New was about is per quarter lower.
Barley and oats from 6d to Is per quarter under the
prices of last week. Wheat--First, 625; second. 60s
6d; third, 565. Barley—First, 31s; second, 28s 6d; third,
235. Oats—First, 225; second, 20s; third, 17s. New
wheat, 645, 545, and 465. Oatmeal, per bag of 280 lbs.

HADDINGTON, Nov. 10.—The supply to-day of wheat
and barley was large, and of oats and beans small, com-
pared with the supply of last market. Sales were rather
quick. Wheat, top, same as last market, and average
9d down; weight of top, per 4 bushels, 18st 10Ibs. Barley,
top, same as last market, and average 2s down; weight
of top, per 4 bushels, 17st. Oats, top, 6d, and average

KELSO HIRING MARKET.—At this hiring market for
unmarried servants on Friday last, the attendance of
servants was not quite so large as usual. The hiring 'or
men was dull, and many could not meet with engage-
ments; but for women the hiring was good. Wages were
for men, 6l to 7l; lads, 21 10s to 3/ 15s; women ser-
vants, 2/ to 21 10s.
MELROSE HIRING MARKET.—This annual November
hiring market was held on the 4th inst. The attendance
was pretty large. There were few women, however, in
the market; consequently they were receiving fair
wages, viz., from 21 to 2/ 10s, being an advance upon last
Year's rates of a few shillings. Lads were receiving
from 1/ lOs to 2l 10s. The hiring for men was very dull;
wages, from 5/ to 61 and 71, and many left the market
unhired.

Hawick hiring for half-yearly servants was held Oil
Wednesday last, and was numerously attended. Women
and young lads were readily engaged, but men were not
in such request; besides, there appeared far more males
than females in want of engagements. The wages rated
—for women, 404 to 50s, and some a trifle more; men,
Si to 61 10s, and known hands a little more; lads, 21 to
31 15s.

Hawick Winter Fair was held on Wednesday last.
There was a large show of cattle, and on no former occa-
sion were so many English and so few country bred
beasts produced. Some hundreds of young English
cattle were in the market, which caused a dull sale,
though the prices for what were sold were scarcely any-
thing lower than obtained at previous markets. Upon
the whole a good deal of business was done, especially
in cattle, six quarters and two years old. Milch cows,
particularly early calvers, were in good demand, and
brought high prices. Kyloes were in slow request. A
lot of 60 English bred calves were exhibited for sale, a
good part of which sold readily. A considerable quan-
tity of the English cattle were not sold, and taken away
for Hallow Fair. Prices may be stated generally as
follows:—Stirks, six quarters old, from 61 to 71 17s;
best sorts, 819 s. Two-year-olds (English), 81 5s to
9195. Kyloes, 41 to 4l 10s. Mulch cows, 121 to 171 10s.
Inferior and farrow cows, from 71 to 10/, English bred
calves, 3/ 5s to 41 MS.
MUIR OF ORD MARKET.--This month's Muir of Ord
Market, being the last for the season, was held on Wed-
nesday and Thursday. The attendance of dealers was
Limited, there not having been one, south of Badenoch,
present ; those who attended being principally from the
neighbouring counties. There were only two lots of

crosses exhibited, one of which belonged Co Mr. Craw,
ford Ross, Cadboll, for which 121 per head were asked,
but only 101 offered, which was refused. There was,
however, a considerable show of cattle, but, with the

exception of a few lots, they were of an inferior descrip-
tion, and apparently the refuse of preceding. markets.
Mr. Forsyth, Udale, sold his slots—the best in the
market, at 5/ 17s 6d, and his queys at Si 7s 6d. Mr.

Allan, Drummond, sold his two-year-old Highland
siOLJ to Mr. Macket.z.e of Ord, for 51 16s. Mr. Mac-
donald, Torridon, sold his lot of West Highland cows at
prices averaging from 4l to 51 10s. Mr. Maclean, Kin-
lochewe, sold his lot of queys at from 41 to 4/ 15s. Mr.
Anderson, Highfield, his six quarter-olds to Mr. Mac-
kenzie, Allaugrange, at 31. These were almost the prin-
cipal sales effected. There were a great many seld in
small lots of twos and threes, and the prices obtained,
considt ring the quality of the beasts, may be considered
fair. Of sheep there was a very limited number. Wed-
ders fetched from 15s to 18s; inferior from 9s to 12s.
Ewes from lOs to 12s 6d. One fine lot of Cheviot lambs
for which lOs were asked, was not disposed of. There
were but few horses brought forward. The work-
horses, which changed owners, fetched from 121 to 261.
This market, usually a dull one, was particularly so
this year, the inclemency of the weather being very much
against it.

THE IRoN TRADE.
The increasing inclination to do business at lower
rates which prevailed after the late quarterly meeting,
has been temporarily checked by the more prqmising
incidents of the last few days. The revival of our
South American connexion, the reduction of bank dis-
counts, the favourable news from the continent, and
above all, the dissipation of much of that apprehension
which had overwhelmed the affairs of our great railway
companies in causeless panic, all operate beneficially
upon the feeling of the trade, and assist in re-establish.
ing a tone of confidence to its every-day transactions.
But the most material drawback, so tar as Staffordshire
is effected, appears to be the formidable rivalry of the
Welsh and Scotch markets. The low wages of their
workmen, and the almost nominal royalty paid in many
cases for the minerals, combined with the lighter ex-
pense of obtaining them, enable the Welsh or Scotch
maker to realize a profit upon his iron at prices which
would insure a speedy ruin in Staffordshire. And
although the article produced must be acknowledged to
be inferior in quality, yet it is now so much improved
that it can be substituted in a considerable proportion of
those uses where Staffordshire was formerly the only
material consumed. Hence the demand for the latter
has become more limited, and confined to better purposes;
consequently the market is more easily glutted, and the
rates obtainable must, in a great measure, be dependent
upon the prices at which Welsh and Scotch can be
brought into the same locality. These at the present
moment are excessively low, and as yet without any
tendency to improvement. The immediate home mar-
ket of this district has, however, experienced a slight
impulse during the past week, consequent upon the
renewed activity of the merchants and manufacturers
of hardware ; and although this is insufficient to
disperse the gloom through which the prospects of the
winter trade Lave hitherto been viewed, even in our own
neighbourhood, yet, in addition to the considerations
before mentioned, and with a prospect of a better export
trade early in the spring, more firmness may be ex-
pected in maintaining present rates, and a fair employ-
ment will be provided for the workmen. The lesson
impressed upon the abetters of insubordination by the
recent events at Vienna will exert a powerful influence
in curbing the revolutionary spirit so generally exhi-
bited among our continental neighbours, and will thus
assist in expediting that return to social order and com-
mercial occupations which must precede the resumption
of our export trade with them. In pig iron very little
has been doing, as there is no inclination on the one
part to give way, or on the • other to purchase at the
rates demanded. Coals continue in good request, and
the supply raised is rather limited. Many of the iron-
stone mines are remaining yet unworked, and the holders
of stone are unwilling to part with it, still clinging to the
expectation of better opportunities after Christms..—

LONDON TEMPERANCE LEAGUE. -- The central
monthly meeting of this association was held on Monday
night at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street - J.
Dunlop, Esq., presided. The meeting was addressed' by
Mr. Thomas Beggs, Rev. A. P. Black, A.M., and Mr.
Henery Clapp, of the United States. The speakers
pointed out the immorality and crime occasioned by the
drinking system, the necessity of habits of temperance
as a means of promoting individual health and national
prosperity, and exhorted the audience to support those
friends of social reform who were endeavouring to rid the
country of one of the greatest evils by which it is afflicted.
We learn that several years ago an old woman was
condemned to banishment for life from this island, for an
attempt to poison the family of a Mr. Jacobs, and it
was added in the act of court by which she was sen-
tenced, that it ever she returned to the island she was to
be hung and quartered according to the most approved
custom of Terrien. The old lady has returned, and is
actually in the Town Hospital at this moment. The
Queen's officers are therefore at a nonplus, and have
consequently applied to his Excellency the Lieutenant-
Governor to procure her a free pardon, but upon what
ground it would be difficult to state, except on the same
as that of Mr. Smith O'Brien.—Guernsey Sun.
