MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London Yew Price Current of March 20.)
SuoAn.—To-day previous rates were insisted upon for
West India Sugar, but the purchases made were trifling.
REFINED.—To-day the demand was excellent for Refined
goods for home consumption, and higherrates were again paid.
MAunmus.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with
attention, and 5,150 bags 423 casks 8 barrels at public sal
were all disposed of at an advance on former rates of 6d
per cwt.

- EAST Irtnra.—This afternoon five parcels of Bengal,
amounting to 4,195 bags 88 chests, were submitted to public
competition; white, of which nearly the whole consisted,
went at full rates and all sold.
Moi.aasEs.—This afternoon at public sale 30 butts 20 Ws
of Bengal Treacle were taken in at 203 per cwt.
Fnurr. As some of the importers of Currants have
shown a disposition to meet the view of the grocers, by sub-
miting to a reduction of is per cwt, a small portion of
gi. bu-
siness has been done.
Fonciox—There has been a better demand for Porto Rico
Sugar, and fair market rates have been
Notwith-
standing the considerable decline that has occurred in the
value of yellow and brown Havaunah of late, still the busi-
ness transacted has been limited. ven
COMM.—To-day there was no public sale of any kind of
Coffee, and privately there was little passing, but holders are
not inclined to take lower rates. For good ordinary pale
Native Ceylon 46s to 47s per cwt are the rates required.
Cocoa.—Foreign is held for the previous value, but there
has been little passing privately, and at auction 135 bags of
Bahia were taken in. British plantation has been purchased
with more freedom, and the best red sorts brought stiffer rates.
TEA.—Although there are sellers of Congou rather under
previous rates, still the demand has been limited, low as
prices are. Pouchon4 is held for 4d to 7d, and good to fine 8d
to 10d, the stock being small, but there has been only a
limited business I ransacted. Hyson is little wanted, and
must be quoted rather cheaper. Of Young Hyson the trade
have been tempted to take several parcels in consequence of
rather lower rates being taken. Twankay has been spar-
ingly dealt in, and prices are on the decline. Scented Orange
Pekoe has been in much better request at 2s 4d to 2s 5d for
fine. Gunpowder offine quality has been purchased with more
freedom, Imperial can be obtained upon lower terms, still
the trade are cautious in their proceedings.
SPICES.—To-day Penang Pepper met with attention, and
947 bags at auction were sold at full rates.
'ism—This afternoon at public sale 2,642 bags and 900
pockets of Bengal Rice were offered ; the trade evinced little
desire to operate; although the merchants were sellers at
lower rates, and the whole of the sound was taken in at Is to
Is 6d per cwt under previous prices.
Sriiirrs.—There has been little desire evinced to purchase
any kind of Jamaica Rum, and the rates taken have been
rather under those previously current. There has been a
much better demand for Brandy this week, and an advance
in prices has taken place. The business done in Geneva has
been limited, and at lower rates. The price of British Corn
Spirits is lOs 6d per gallon nett cash, and Gin 8s 10d for 22
per cent. under proof, and 17 under 9s 4d per gallon.
OlLS.—This afternoon of Sperm 'Oil 57 tuns at public sale
from New York wore taken in at 811 to 8115 s, but low sold
at 741 lOs to 761. 3 tuns from Sydney, ordinary 751 55, and
Headmatter 751155.

TALLow.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow went
at rather lower rates; 285 pps 171 hhds 17 brls South Ame-
rican mostly sold at 36s to 41s 6d for low to fine ; 386 casks
New South Wales, fine 42a to 42s 6d, middling and good
39s 9d to 41s 9d, low soft and greasy 37s 3d to 398 3d; 50
