MARKET INTELLIG E.

CE.

(From the London New Price Current of December 11.)
SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was purchased with
much caution for all purposes, although there were sellers at
a further reduction in prices. The quantity disposed of
amounted to only 150, making 850 hhds and tierces for the
week, and the fall in the value during that time is per cwt.
The market closes with much heaviness for all sorts of raw
Sugar.

REFINED.—To-day immense parcels of refined Sugar sold
for home consumption, but not at better prices, 62s being
taken for standard lumps, and 60s to 61s for brown lumps,
according to quality. Bonded Crushed Sugar met with a
dull sale; first sort at 32s 6d to 335.

Mnuarrrus.—The purchases made by private contract
have been limited, although all kinds can be obtained upon
rather lower terms. From the Mauritius the accounts are
highly favourable for the crops, which will be even greater
than last season, and was expected to reach 56,000 tons.
The quality was also likely to be superior to that of the
former year. _

MOLASSES.—AIthough further reduced rates have been
submitted to for all kinds of West India, still only a limited
business has been transacted, and there is a large supply.
For St:Vincent's 22s havebeen accepted, and 21s for St. Kitts.
Bengal Treacle has fallen in value ; 50 puns and 100 hhds at
public sale selling at 20s 6d to 22s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon 1,750 bags of Madras Sugar
were offered at auction, and nearly all taken in at moderate
terms.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale, and privately
only 750 casks of Porto Rico were sold at 20s 6d per cwt for
Refining here under bond.
COFFEE.—To-day there was little passing privately in any
kind of Coffee for home consumption and exportation, and
former rates were not obtainable. At auction 310 bags of
Plantation sold at easier rates.

RICE.—To-day at public sale 360 bags of Java Rice were
sold at 15s sa to 16s for middling white bold yellowish white.
697 boxes 132 bags Pearl Sago sold upon rather lower terms,
and went at 38s 6d to 40s for fine small white pearl, 34s to
358 for ordinary, and at 28s 6d to 35s for damaged. 1,270
bags Sago Flour ; the sound was taken in at 19s to 20s,
damaged at lOs to 16s 6d ; 29 sacks of Farina withdrawn.
SPICES.—To-day black Pepper met with attention, and
1,780 bags at auction were chiefly sold at full rates. White
was in limited request, and 124 bags sold at 4cl lower ; 46
bags of Pod Pepper fetched 104 s. Of Nutmegs 11 cases 9
casks 12 bags were offered at auction, and partly sold.
SALTPICTICE.—To-day rough was in good demand, and
635 bags of Calcutta at public sale, sold at further advance
of 6d per cwt, good stron( grey good chrystal 51 to 5i per
cent selling at 278, middling small chrystal 10 per cent 265,
and not refracted 26s 6d per cwt.
SPIRITS.—Holders of Jamaica Rum still insist upon fall
prices, although exporters and the home trade purchase all
sorts with caution. Only small parcels have been sold. For
Leeward Island the market has presented a quiet 'appear-
ance, and prices have given way ld per gallon. East India
has been sparingly dealt in, and there is more desire to sell
Calcutta. Demarara of strong quality has been in brisker
demand, but prices cannot be quoted higher. Brandy is not
to be obtained upon lower terms, but shippers and the home
trade have operated with caution. Geneva has met with
little attention for exportation, and being a good supply,
common is attainable at 2s 6d to 2s 7d per gallon, fine in
small parcels fetched 3s to 3s 2d. British Corn Spirits have
been in excellent request; English at lls 3d nett cash ;
Scotch and Irish lls 2d to lls 3d.

Ons.—There has been less activity in the market for Lin-
seed Oil this week, and prices suffered a decline of 3d. per
cwt. For forward delivery there are few buyers to be met
with. For Rape Seed Oil the market has a dull ap-
pearance, and prices tend downwards. Olive Oil has not
risen in value, but holders manifest firmness, and a
good business has been transacted. In Palm many
purchases have been made, but not at better prices.
Lard Oil is heavy of disposal at 37s to 435. Seal has been
sparingly dealt in, although holders are inclined to realise.
In Cod a good deal has been done. Sperm has been pur-
chased with more freedom, but having a good supply prices
are prevented from rising.
TALLOW.—No further decline at present can be quoted in
the value of Russian on the :spot, but upon previous terms
merchants are willing sellers. For fine Petersburgh yellow
Candle Tallow 47s 6d to 47s 9d have been the rates accepted.
For for Ward delivery few buyers are to be met with, although
there are sellers up to the close of the year at 47s 3d to 47s
6d, and for the spring months at 478 9d to 48s. Other sorts
are in fair supply, and the parcels sold privately were at
easier rates.

ALARMING FIRE AT ISLlNGTON.—Yesterday, be-
tween two and three o'clock, an alarming fire was ob-
served on the premises belonging to Mr. H. Edwards, a
turner, No. 7, Lower•street, Islington. The flames first
showed themselves in the workshops, at the back of the
dwelling house. An instant alarm was raised, and in-
telligence of the disaster was sent to the engine stations,
and in a very short space of time the engines arrived,
and there being an abundance of water at hand, the
flames were confined to the workshop in which they
commenced, but they were not entirely extinguished until
the stock in trade and building were extensively damaged.
The fire, it is supposed, was caused by a spark flying out
of the stove amongst some shavings. Unfortunately Mr.
Edwards was uninsured.
