MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of April 11.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was not so much inquiry for
any kind of Foreign Sugar, either for home use or ex-
port, and former rates were not generally supported,
although the market was less freely supplied. In West
India Muscavado the purchases made were extremely
limited in all sorts, indeed the quantity sold was less
than for some, and did not exceed 60 hhds, &c., at prices
in favour of buyers. The market closes with much
flatness.
REFINED.—To-day there was little passing in refined
goods for home consumption; Standard Lumps could not

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no increase in
the demand for Mauritius Sugar, although a large quan-
tity was brought forward. The public sales consisted
of 6,479 bags, comprising chiefly the better sorts, there
was not much desire evinced to operate, and in some
cases rather lower rates was taken, but the whole sold.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was no public
sale of Bengal Sugar, and the amount of business done
privately was limited, although there were sellers upon
rather lower terms. Madras is dull of sale, and must be
called rather cheaper.
FOREIGN.—To-day holders were willing to make a
further concession in the value of Foreign Sugar, still
few buyers are to be met with privately, and none was
offered at public sale.
MOLASSES.—The amount of business concluded in
West India of all kinds has been limited, and prices con.
tinue on the decline, as the stock is large. The value of
low to fine quality is 15s to 18s per cwt. Bengal Treacle
is little required, and can be obtained at lower rates.
The stock is also on the increase.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the quantity of Ceylon
Coffee offered at public sale amounted to 8 casks and 716
bags ; a small part only sold at the former value ; fine
bold colory went at 76s to 83s, low middling 435, fine
ordinary 33s 6d to 37s 6d, and Triage 21s to 28s. Of
Costa Rica 368 bags were taken in at 31s to 32s for fine
ordinary dull. Native is little wanted, and good ordi-
nary is only worth 30s to 30s 6d per cwt. Mocha sells
slowly at rather lower rates.
TEA..—Although there are sellers of Congou at a re-
duction on former rates of id per lb, yet the purchases
made have been limited in all sorts: the value of
ordinary is 6d to 61d, and good ordinary 7d to lid
per lb. Other sorts of Black are dull of sale
