MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of April 18.)
Sri:wt.—To-day the home demand further increased
for all kinds of raw Sugar, and the business concluded
was larger for Mauritius than for some time. On the
part of the exporters more inclination was shown to make
purchases, and an advance in the value of all sorts took
place. West India Murcovado was in fair demand for
grocery, as well as refining purposes, and the private
purchases amounted to 140 hhdo. &o, whilit the rates
obtained are 6d above those of Friday. The market for
both free and slave labour Sugar closes with firmness.
REFINED.—To-day there was an active demand for
refined goods from the home trade, end pricesare firm( r,
brown grocery lumps selling at 52s to 52s 6d, and to
pass the standard 53s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar
is offered at a further reduction, still the export demand
is extremely limited, and 25s 6d to 27s is the value of
British of first and second quality.

MA lIIIITIIIS.—This afternoon'there was a further in.
crease in . the demand for all kinds of Mauritius Sugar,
but the quantity offered at public sale was large, and
amounted to 360 casks and 9,513 bags ; the whole sold,
and at prices showing an advance on those of Friday of
6d to Is per cwt.
EAST INHIA. This afternoon Madras Sugar was
more readily dealt in, and 1,509 bags at auction sold at
stiffer rates. Of Bengal several parcels were taken
privately, and prices advanced 6d per cwt. None was
offered at public sale.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, but privately a fair amount of business was con-
cluded, chiefly by the home trade: the rates paid were
rather above those of Friday.
CorrEE.—This afternoon the public sales of Planta-
tion Ceylon consisted of 2 cka and 895 bgs; they w,nt
off with more spirit at full rates—fine bold colory real-
ised 70s to 82s, good 54s 6d to 60s, and middling 45i 6d
to 495 6d. Native in better request, and 1,879 bags
were all sold at full rates. There was little desire

shown to operate in Mocha. . •
TEA.—To day there was little passing in Tea by
private treaty, and 574 packages offered at public sale,
a part only sold at barely lormer rates ; Gunpowder of
good quality went at 2s 3d to 2s 9d, and Imperial, good
and fine is 7d to 23 per lb.
SPICES.—To day at public sale 61 pkgs of Jamaica
Ginger went at 85s for middling, and at 60s per cwt fur
good ordinary.
Rica.—To-day East India Rice was offered at a fur-
ther reduction, yet the purchases made in all sorts were
limited by exi orters and the home trade, middling white
Bengal has been selling at 93 6d to 105, good to fine
103 6d to I Is, and cargo 6i 6d to 7s 6d per cwt. Patna
is cheaper, and is quoted at from 13s to 17s per cwt.
SPIRITS.—The market for East India Rum has a dull
aspect, and there are sellers at is 7,1 to Is Si proof with
certificate, whilst a larger quantity is (,n offer. Lee
ward Island is not much required, and can be obtained
at is 9d to is 90 proof strength, which are rather lower
rates, and the supply is good.Fordarnaica export orders
come in slowly, and home buyers make purchases with
caution in all sorts, prices tend downwards, and rule at 33
8d to 3s iOd for low and middling, good to fine 43 to 4s 4.1,
high flavour 4s 3d to 4s 8d per gallon. Demerara is
little wanted, and prices are on the decline. Brandy in
less demand, and must be called rather cheaper, but
there are several arrivals near at hand. Geneva is dull
of sale at is 10d to 2s for ordinary export sort, and
2s 10d to 3s 3d for fine fit for duty.
SALTPETRE.—To-day there was less desire evinced to
operate in Rough, but holders are firm, and for the small
parcels sold privately full rates were obtained. At
public sale 450 bags for exportation only were taken in
above the value.

INDlGo.—There is yet little desire evinced to opera'e
in East India for home censumption, whilst the export ,
demand continues to be very limited, although sellers I
are willing to accept, prices 3d to 43 per lb under those
of the list quarterly sales. Spanish is dull of sale, and
the tendency of prices is yet to decline.
OrLs - -To-day prices were further depressed for Lin-
seed Oil, and 22s 9d to 23s is the value on the spot. On
the part of exporters and home buyers little desire was
shown to operate.
TALLow.—On the spot holders of Russian are sellers
at a further reduction, yet soap makers and chandlers
operated Iwith caution, and 50s 6d to 51s per cwt
is the value of fine P. Y. Candle. For delivery in the
last three months of the year, the rates asked are 46s to
46s 6d,.few buyers are, however, to be met with. Home
made is offered on the spot at 49s to 501 nett cash, but
only a limited, demand has been experienced. Other
sorts are brought freely to market, and a further fall in
the vague is apparent. At auction 294 casks of New
South Wales were only in part sold.
