MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of November 20.)
Swum— To-day there were sellers of all inferior and
brown descriptions of West India upon further reduced terms,
making the fall compared with last Friday Is. per cwt ;
nevertheless few buyers were to be met with, and some
parcels were pressed for sale, but the better kinds of yellow
and grey were wanted, and full rates offered, but few parcels
could be obtained. The quantity of all sorts sold to-day
was only 160, making the total sales for the week 910 blids
and tres.
REFINED.—The supply continuing to increase causes the
refiners to be free sellers, and they submitted to further re-
duced rates for all descriptions; the home trade, however,
in consequence, have been induced to direct their attention
more to Refined Sugar. and a good business has been trans-
acted.

MAußrnus.—This afternoon at public sale 5,703 bags of
Mauritius Sugar were offered, and chiefly sold at and after
the sale ; good and fine yellow kinds fetched the full value,
but inferior and brown sold is per cwt cheaper.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar
offered at public sale amounted to 2,872 bags and 10 casks,
and nearly the whole sold. White and strong yellow sorts,
of which the chief part consisted, fetched very full rates, but
other sorts sold Gd to is lower.

COCHINEAL is wanted, and at public sale this afternoon 68
bags of Honduras Silvers and 14 bags of Black were offered,
and all sold at stiffer rates, the former low to good at 4s 6d
to 5s 3d, and the latter 5s 9d to 5s Ild for ordinary and
middling.
COCOA.—West India has been more sought after, but
holders not being sellers at previous rates operated against
business, and 640 bags of Trinidad at auction only in part
sold. For Foreign Cocoa the market has a dull appearance,
and late rates cannot be obtained.
Comm—This afternoon none of any kind was offered at
public sale, and privately there was scarcely any demand
from exporters or the home trade. The worth of good ordi-
nary pale Native Ceylon is only 37s to 38s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 17 bxs of Havan-
nah sold at 44s 6d for brown-228 hhds 5 trcs 2 brls of Cuba
Muscovadoe, mid yellow 56s 6d to 47s 6d, low 45s to 465,
good brown 445, inferior 42 6d, being rather cheaper ; 48 bxs
white Cuba sold at 58s to 58s 6d, one lot inferior 51s, washed
57s 6d, and 74 bxs yellow ditto, good 50s to 52s middling 48s
to 49s 6d, being full rates.
RlCE.—There has been less desire nianifested to operate in
Bengal this week, and there are sellers upon rather lower
terms, still only small parcels have changed hands by pri-
vate contract; 3,170 bags at auction yesterday were all i
taken in rather above the value.
SPICES.—To-day at public sale 80 bags of Pimento were
taken in at 4%d for good ; 161 casks of limed Nutmegs from
Madeira were only in part sold at 3s id to 3s 2d for second
sort, which is rather lower; two cases of brown Penang,
good 3s 7d, and slightly mouldy 3s ; 3 casks Amboyna Cloves
withdrawn ; 5 chests Mace were taken in, fine red 3s Bd, and
good 3s 4d per lb.
SPlRlTS.—lmporters of Jamaica Rum evince firmness, and
insist upon fully previous rates for all descriptions; there has
been a brisker demand this week,chiefiy mm the home trade.
Leeward Island is wanted at 2s 7d to 2s 8d per gallon, proof
strength, but few parcels are to be had. There are several
buyers of East India, upon previous improved terms, bat the
stock in first hands is nearly exhausted. Demerara is in
short supply, and being wanted, prices rule firm at 3s 8d to
3s 8d for strong surts. Brandy has met with little attention.
INDIGO.—The market has an improving appearance for all

descriptions of East India. Bengal has been in good demand
for exportation, and the home trade have been purchasers to
a fair extent; the rates paid have been equal to those of the
last quarterly sale to 2d per lb advance. Of Madras several
parcels found purchasers at a rise in the full value of 2d to
3d. Other kinds have been in fair demand at October rates
to a small advance.
