MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of August 21.)
Sucart..—To-day the market presented a dull appearance
for raw Sugar from our Colonies, and prices have assumed a
, downward tendency, there being an increased quantity offer-
r ing for sale. Although West India was offered at a decline
, on previous rates of 6d to is, still the business transacted
was extremely limited in all kinds, the private sales amount-
, ing to only 190 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-day many purchases were made in refined
goods by the home trade, but there was a desire evinced by
the refiners to sell—Brown grocery lumps at 63s to 63s 6d,
and standard lumps at 64s and 64s 6d per cwt. For Bonded
Crushed Sugar, of first quality, 34s is asked.
MAURITIUS.—The demand privately has been good for
yellow, brown, and grey descriptions, but the rates paid do
not generally show an advance on those previously current ;
merchants have manifested firmness, and refrained from
supplying the market largely. At public sale 1,640 bags 123
casks and 244 trcs sold at stiffer rates.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Manilla
Sugar brought to public sale was large, and amounted to
8,965 bags, duty paid. But little desire was shown to
operate, and nearly the whole was taken in under former
rates.
FOREIGN.—Tbis afternoon a large parcel of Porto Rico
Sugar, duty paid, was submitted to public competition, and
consisted of 1,048 hhds 176 barrels and 2 tierces, subject to
the 21s per cwt duty; the whole was taken by the home
trade and fetched very full rates.
TEA.—The demand has fallen off for black and green,
and by private contract little business has been transacted,
although merchants are disposed to make some concession in
price, and there is a larger quantity on offer of all kinds.
At the public sales the trade operated with much caution,
notwithstanding there were sellers at easier rates, and of
the quantity offered, amounting to 26,000 pkgs, the small
proportion of only 6,000 pkgs actually sold, the chief part of
which consisted of damaged tea. The trade hold fair stocks
both in town and country, and the quantity in bond here is
much greater than it was last year.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Jamaica Coffee was purchased
with less freedom, and 78 trcs, 3 brl ,s 1 bag, at public sale,
sold at rather lower rates. Of Costa Rica the large quantity
of 5,844 bags were brought to public sale, all sold to ship-
pers and the home trade, in consequence of previous mode-
rate rates being taken. Ceylon was less in request, and 200
bags at auction only in part sold at the former value. Na-
tive Ceylon has fallen in value, sales privately of good ord
having been made'at 40s to 41s per cwt.
SPICES.—To-day Pimento met with attention, and 129
bags at public sale sold at 3id to 31c1 for low middling and
good quality, being the full value ; 19 boxes Jamaica Ginger
90s to 105 s. Nutmegs are litte wanted, and 20 casks of bold
limed at auction from Madeira were taken in at 3s 6d for
bold of first quality. 579 bags Penang Pepper only in part
sold at 2 d for half heavy brown, being the former value.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was much sought after psi •
vately, and stiff rates offered ; but few parcels were to be met
with. At auction 665 bags went 6d to 9d per cwt above
former prices.
SAGO.—lmporters have been more inclined to realise, but
submitting to a reduction on former rates of is to 2s per cwt,
occasioned the demand to be good, and the parcels offered at
public sale, amounting to 647 boxes, were all sold.
CoCutNEAL.—Holders have more confidence, and refrain
from offering any at public sale ; the demand is improving.
and the parcels disposed of by private contract were at rather
higher rates. Black is held the most firmly. The stock is
a small one.

FRUIT.—The present stock of Currants being Very small,
and the consumption good, the importers have advanced
their prices; a parcel of Cephalonia in second hands is being
resold at 50s, but the grocers do not appear inclined to in-
c. ease their stocks at the advance required, expecting very
early arrivals of new. Of Valentias there are none on hand
and inquired for, which has indu •ed the buyers to seek rather
more after Red Smyrna and Chesme Raisins, the price being
very low.

SrALTPETRE.—For English Refined prices remain firm at
29s to 29s 6d per cwt, and the refiners are still full of orders.
Rough has been purchased with caution by private treaty for
home consumption and exportation; but no further decline
has taken place in the value.
TURPENTINE.—There has been less demand for Spirits, but
in the value little variation has taken place, 44s to 45s per
cwt being required. The supply is by no means so large as
it was. Rough has been sparingly dealt in.
On.s.—For Seal Oil holders manifest firmness, and a good
business has been transacted. There has been little desire
evinced to operate in Cod. Southern is wanted, the tendency
of prices upwards, and supply less. Sperm only in moderate
request, but holders are not disposed to reduce their prices,
For Rape Seed Oil the demand has been brisk, and prices are
firm. Linseed Oil has been in excellent request on the spot,
and several shipping orders have been executed. For for-
ward delivery a good business has been done at 245. For
Olive the demand has been brisk, and prices are still rising
for all sorts. Palm has been ic brisker demand, and prices
are firm. There are several buyers of Cocoa Nut, and pre-
vious rates are well sustained.

Roar, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There are several arri-
vals of Rum this week, the principal part Jamaica. The
dullness in the market has increased for all kinds. For Lee-
ward Island previous rates are insisted upon but little de-
sire has been evinced to do business, and the sales amount
to only 100 puns, at 2s 6d, proof strength. Calcutta has
been sparingly dealt in at Is 111 Ad to 24 proof,
with certificate. Holders of Jamaica, for the most
part, are unwilling to reduce their prices ; but exporters and
the home trade have only taken trifling parcels. Demerara
has met with little attention; but strong sorts are held for
3s 3d to 3s 6d. In Brandy larve purchases have been made,
more particularly in the older kinds. Prices are higher for
all sorts. Geneva is wanted for export, and the parcels sold
were at 23 ld to 2s 2d for common. Fine, fit for duty,
has been sold to a fair extent, at 25. 6d to 3s.
For British Corn Spirits the demand is on the increase.
INniGo.—Although some holders of East India are in-
clined to sell upon rather lower terms, still it has occasioned
little increase in the demand, and the principal transaction
for the week has been that of 80 chests of Bengal, for
which the rates taken show a decline on those of the last
quarterly sale of 2d per lb. Exporters and the home trade
are not inclined to take more than their immediate wants
require, moderate as prices are.
WooL.—There has been little desire evinced to operate in
'English, Colonial, or Foreign, but holders are not inclined to
further reduce their prices, and offer a less quantity for sale.
Hors.—The business transacted has been extremely
limited in all descriptions, and
...prices are looking down;
several parcels are pressing for sale; indeed it is difficult to
quote accurate quotations, so trifling is the demand. The
accounts from the Plantations are highly satisfactory, and
the duty for the kingdom is estimated as high as 170,000/.
TALLow._Although there have been several arrivals of
Russian this week, yet merchants manifest firmness: the
trade have been desirous to operate, and on the spot a good
business has been transacted. For forward delivery many
purchases have been made, and 41s 3d to 41s 6d are the rates
given for the last three months of the year fur new. Home
made has been largely dealt in on the spot, and prices are
firm at 40s to 41s nett cash.

START EARLY.—The Lord Mayor announces several
grand dinners this week. Wo hope his Lordship has given
intimation to every one of his guests that the principal
thoroughfares to the City are blocked up, or else he will be
sure to be disturbed in the middle of the night by some un-
happy foreigner who has just come to dinner. His Lordship
should put at the bottom of his ilaTitatiQnsP "Diener at 12
for 6, procisely."-•-Punch,

they would take, which he considered would be ruined.
" They had," he said, "made arrangements with all the
great guns, whilst they crucified the small owners of land."
A number of other witnesses were examined in opposition
to the line, and the Committee adjourned until to-morrow at
ten o'clock.
