MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 31.)
SUGAR.—To-day the market was much better snp-
plied with colonial Sugar, and former rates were not
generally sustained, as buyers were not so desirous to
do business as on Friday last. A fair demand existed
for West India, in consequence of rather lower prices in
some cases having been accepted, and the sales are 697
hhds, &c., including 169 hhds at auction, which went a
little cheaper, low yellow selling at 35s 6d, mid 36s to
375, good 37s 6d to 395, and fine 40s to 41s per cwt.
RETINED.—To-day Refined met with a good demand
for home trade purposes, brown grocery lumps 48s, and
Standard at 49s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is un-
altered in value, but is wanted for shipping.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauri-
tius Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amounted
to 20 casks 8,731 bags ; the demand was not so good,
and not above half sold at a define on former rates of 6d
per cwt; good middling and good yellow went at 36s 6d
to 38s, low to middling 33s Gd to 365, ordinary to fine
brown 28s to 335, washed and syruppy 28s 6d to 38s 6d

- EAST INDIA.—This afternoon five parcels of Bengal
Sonar were offered at public sale, amounting to 3,749
bags, when not above one-half found buyers, and even
then a decline of 6d per cwt had to be accepted. Of
Madras 194 bags were sold at easier rates; damp yellow
at 30s to 33,, and brown 28s to 29s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon a public sale of 216 hhds
and 160 brls Porto Rico Sugar went off flatly at 40s to
42s for good and fine; a part only found buyers.
MOLASSES.—HoIders of West India evince firmness,
and insist upon full rates; a fair amount of business has
also been concluded at 14s to 188 for low to fine. Of
Cuba 200 pns have been disposed of at 16s per cwt. In
Bengal Treacle a good business has been concluded at
1.5 s to 15s 6d per cwt, and a less quantity is on offer.
The stock of Molasses is still much less than last year,
whilst arrivals are materially lower.
COFFEE .—This afternoon there was a brisker demand
for Ceylon Coffee, and at public sale 19 csks 1,417 bags
were all sold at full rates, Native, good ordinary went at
27s to 27s 6d, damaged 23s to 26s 6d ; Plantation, low

bags were sold, good ordinary pale at 24s 6d to 252,
colory ditto 26s 6d, and damaged lis 6d to 23s 6d.
TEA. —Arrivals were small during the past week,
whilst the home trade clearances were upon a large
scale, reaching to 556,0001b5. None has been offered
at public sale; but by private treaty the market is
well supplied with all sorts. Black is offered rather
below former rates ; still the trade are far from
anxious to do business, and 7d to 8d is the value
of ordinary and good ordinary Congou. Green is dull
of sale, and further reduced rates are taken. Although
Scented Teas have receded in value, yet buyers are not
disposed to extend their transactions ; the supply far
exceeds the demand. The deliveries of Tea are greater
than in 1847 ; but there is a smaller stock, and prices
rule lower.

Rica.—To-day the demand was more active for East
India, and 6,694 bags at auction were all sold at full
rates, indeed Madras fetched stiffer prices; Bengal, good
middling white realised lls to Ils 6d, damaged 7s to
10s 61; Madras, middling and good pinky white 8a 6d
to 9s 6d, damaged 5s 6d to 9s.

catel boxes in layers 47s to 70s; 83 boxes Valencia
Almonds 63s to 795; 157 boxes Jordan ditto 71 ss; 22
barrels Tat That Dates taken out.
SPIRITS.—Prices continue to recede for East India
Rum, and buyers to make purchases with much cau-
tion. Only 100 hhds &c. have been sold at is 4d to is
5d per gallon proaf. Jamaica must again be quoted
cheaper, and exporters as well as home trade buyers
do business with reluctance; low and mid sorts are the
most difficult of disposal. Tha sales are 100 puns at 3s
to 3s 2d for fair quality 32 to 38 per cent over proof;
small parcels of mid to good 3s 3d to 3s 10d, and fine
4s to 454 d. Of the latter only a limited qatintity is on
idf,ir, but other sorts are in plentiful supply. Demerara
is further depressed in value, and buyers do busi-
ness with caution, the rates accepted are 2s 2d to
2s 4d for 30 to 35 per cent. over proof, and 2s 5d
to 2s 7d for 36 to 40 over. Brandy has not risen in
value; the demand is good, and there is a small stock,
the consumption is upon a large scale. Cognac best
brands of the vintage of 1846 is held with firmness at
4s 10d to ss; 1847 ditto at 3s 10d to 4s, inferior marks
3s to 3s 6d, and Bordeaux Ss to 2s 4d. Geneva met
with little attention, and sellers are willing to accept
2s to 2s Id for common, and 2s 8d to 3s 6d
for fine fit for duty. Of British Gin several parcels have
been taken for exportation at 3s to 3s 3d per gallon
proof unsweetened, casks included. To-day Leeward
Island Bum in small parcels sold at is 5d to is *1
proof, East India is to Is 40, and 50 puns of Jamaica
at 3s for plain quality 33 per cent. over.
SPICES.—For Black Pepper, prices tend downwards,
as there is a fair amount on offer, and only a very re-
stricted demand existing. To-day a public sale of 44
brls 7 casks of Jamaica Ginger went off flatly, and a
part only sold at 54s to 74s for good ordinary to mid-
dling. On Friday, 18 cases of brown Nutmegs, and 10
cases of Mace will be put up to public auction.
CocoA.--llolders of West India have brought to
market a larger supply than last week, and only a limited
demand prevails. At public sale 530 bags Grenada
were sold, middling to good red 36s to 395, fine and very
fine 40s to 425; 75 bags of Trinidad, middling to fine
37s 6d to 425; 9 tierces of Dominica 37s to 38s. For
Foreign the market is in a dull state, and prices keep
on the decline. At public sale 769 bags of Para were
taken in at 29s to 30s.

SALTPETRE--To-day the market for rough had a
firm appearance, and 868 bags Madras at auction sold
at full rates; mid grey 134 per cent went at 24s to
24s 6d, good white 11/ at 23., and damaged not re-
fracted 19s to 22s per cwt.
INDIGO.—Since the termination of the quarterly sale
of East India the market has presented a firm aspect
for all kinds. Purchases to a fair extent have beon
made by exporters and the home trade, whilst former
rates are well sustained. Spanish is held with firmness,
and is in fair demand, whilst a smaller amount is on
offer.

OlLS.—'Phis afternoon pale Seal Oil was offered at
26/ 5s to 26/ 10s. Cod 23/ 10s, but met with little at•
tention. Linseed Oil is dull of sale at 225. Palm is
more in demand, and fine realised 35a to 35s 6d. Sperm
is much wanted, and the best British is worth 77/ to
781 per tun. To•day at auction 216 hhds, 42 pipes,
and 10 puns of Cocoa Nut Oil were taken in at 40s
per cwt. _ _ _

TlLLow.—There is no advance to record in the value
of Russian on the spot, but a good demand has been ex-
perienced, and the rates paid are 44s 9d to 45s
per cwt for fine new Y Y Candle, at which holders
are firm. For delivery up to the close of the
year similar rates are insisted upon, but not
much business has been done. Home made met with
a good sale at 45s to 45s 6d nett cash, but the supply
does not get smaller. Other sorts of Tallow have re-
alised fully former rates. At auction 460 pkgs of South
American were sold at 42s 6d to 463 9d; 212 casks New
South Wales 40s 6d to 44s ed; 30 casks Italian 42s to
44s 3d; 7 casks Gibraltar 49s 9d, and 7 casks Oporto 43s
per cwt. Rough Fat is quoted at 2s 7d per stone of
81bs. For auction 400 casks of Tallow are declared.

[ADVERTlSEMENT.j—lndigestion—that Parent of
so many diseases, may be effectually cured by the use
of the celebrated Vegetable Restorative Pills, prepared
by John Kaye, of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield. This
assertion is not based upon mere opinion or probability,
but upon facts. Jonathan Good, tailor, of Winchester,
suffered for years from indigestion, he was recommended
to try Kaye's Worsdell's Pills, and as the result, he has
enjoyed bettor health than for years before.— Mr. James
Noble, of Brampton, Cumberland, writes,—" My wife
was for a long time troubled with pains in the stomach,
loss of appetite, sickness, and general debility; she was
fully restored to health by taking one small box of these
Pills." Mrs. W., of Ewelme, Wallingford, writing to
Mr. C. J. Vennimore, says,—" I believe Kaye's Pills
saved my life last summer, when I was attacked by the
Cholera." Ellen Eggleston°, Feling-bridge, near Bi-
shop Auckland, was affected with disease of the bowels
for two years, but was restored to perfect health by tak-
ing one box of Kaye's Worsdcll's Pills." Every, one
suffering from Bile, Flatulency, or Indigestion, is earnestly
recommended to give these Pills a trial. See that Mr.
Kaye's coat of arms and a lac• simile of his signature,
are printed on the directions for use wrapped round
each box, as without this none are genuine. Sold by all
Medicine Venders, price is. lid. ; 2s. 9d.; or 4s. 6d.
per box.
