MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Juno 6.)

SUGAR.—To•day the inactivity in the market for raw
Sugar further increased, and as the supply was large, a
decline took place in the value of all sorts. This
flatness is to be chiefly attributed to the proposition of
Government respecting the navigation-laws. West
India Muscovado was dealt in with caution by
refiners and grocers, although the prices taken
were 6d per cwt under those of Friday. Only 420 hhds
and tierces were sold, including a public sale of 126 hhds
and 3 tierces Barhadoes, which went off quietly at a
reduction of 63 per cwt—fine yellow sold at 42s 6d to
435, god mid and good 41s to 425, and mid 385 61 to
40s 6d per cat.
REFINED.—To-day refined goods were dealt in with
caution for home use; brown grocery lumps are quoted
at 54s Gd, and to pass the standard 55s 6d. Bonded
Crushed Sugar has fallen in value, but several parcels
have been sold first sort at 275, and sectnl ditto at 26s
to 2Gs 6J.
M4ttnuit7s.—This afternoon there was no improve-
ment in the demand for Maurities Sugar, and the
market was much Lotter supplied. Four parcels amount-
ing to 10,292 gags and 156 casks were submitted to
public sale. The chief part sold, but at a reduction on
last week's rates of 6d to is per cwt; the biddings were
languid.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon fs public sale of 274
baskets 156 bugs and 15 boxes of Penang went off flatly,
end upon rather lower rates. Of China 2,380 bags
were all taken in at 31e Gd to 33s for low and middling
damp brown. With Bengal the market was largely
supplied, and the quantity offered at public sale amounted
to 5,829 bags, but the chief part sold, and at steady
rates.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and the purchases made privately were of little
moment, whilst lower rates were taken.
MOLASSES.—Prices are firm for West India ; there is,
however, less demand, and only 100 puns of Porto Rico
have been sold at 19s. At auction 189 puns of new
Trinidad were taken in at 18s for middling ; arrivals
eontinue small, and a further increase is apparent in the
deliveries. Bengal Treacle is held for 16s to I7s ; few
sales, however, have been made.
COFFEE.—This afternoon holders of Mocha Coffts,
were more disposed to realise, and offered 750 balemito
auction, a part only sold at a reduction of 3s—fair and
good bold pale greenish long berry went at 51i to, 545,
• middling rather small 46 6a to 475,-and damaged 36s
to 49s 6d. Native Ceylon is less wanted, and the public
sales of 2612 bags went off flatly. Of Plantation 600
bags sold at easier rates.
COCOA.—lmporters of Trinidad continue to manifest
a desire to realise, and having abundantly supplied the
market this week produced a decline in prices of 2s to
3s per cwt. Of 1,416 bags offered at auction a part
sold. A further reduction is expected to take place on
account of the large quantity to arrive. For Foreign
the market is in a dull state, and prices tend downwards.
TEA.—To-day little desire was manifested to operate
in Tea at the public sales, which comprised 5,997 pkgs;
only 1,000 actually sold---scented Caper went at is lid
to Is. 2d; Hyson good ordinary 10id to lid; Orange
Pekoe, good Is 3d ; Congou

Young Dyson, ordinary 8d to 81d; good and fine is 8d

fine 3s Ofd to 3s lid; Imperial Canton Is ld; good and
fine Hyson kind 2s lid to 2s 4d per lb.
SAG() is more in request, and realizes stiffer rates by
private treaty. At auction 165 bxs and 4 bgs were sold
middling qeality at 19s, good 19s 6d to 20s, and fine at
20s 6d to 21r.
RICE.—To-day only a limited demand was experi-
enced for East India by private treaty, and 1,000 pckts
500 bags of Bengal at auction sold upon rather lower
rates—good middling and good white rather dusty at 9s
f
to 10s, and damaged 2s 6d to 9a 6d • 150 bars Farina
were taken in at 21s, and 367 tins of St.
at 61 Vincent's Ar-
rowroot

SPICES.—To-day Pimento was sought after by private
treaty; and 132 bags at auction sold id per lb. higher;
good middling fetched 31cl to aid, middling 3id, low
middling 3d, damaged lid to lid. Black Pepper is in
better demand and a fair business was done privately at
full rates; at auction 100 bags Tellicherry went at lid
for clean black; but 100 bags of white sold id cheaper

INDIGO.—On the part of holders of Spanish there is a
desire to sell, and the rates taken are 3d to 4d under
those previously current, yet buyers have operated with
caution. Of 57 serous Guatemala offered at auction, a
part only sold. The market for all kinds of East India
is in a very unsatisfactory position, from exporters and
the home ,trade the demand is extremely limited, and
there are sellers rather under the rates of the last quar-
terly sales.
COCHINEAL—This afternoon there appeared to be
little inclination to do business in this article, and of
60 bags of Honduras at auction, a part only sold at Id
decline, good ordinary and middling silvers w ent at 4s
to 4s Id.
SALTPETRE.—TO-day the market prssentcd an inac-
tive appearance, and importers are again ready sellers.
The parcels offered at public sale amounted to 3,182
bags of Calcutta, a small part of which only sold at a
further decline of 2s to 2s 6d per cwt.
OlLs.—Southern must again be quoted cheaper, as the
supply is plentiful, but 80 tuns at public sale all
found buyers. Cod has been dealt in with
caution at 241 103 to 251, and is in greater
supply. The operations in Seal have been of little
moment, although pale can be obtained at 24/ lOs
to 251, straw and tinged 221 103 to 231,103, yellow and
brown 91/ to 02/. There are, however, several buyers
rather under those rates. The market for Sper:n has
a quiet aspect, and prices are rather lower, there is
also a fair supply. At public sale 17 tans were
sold. Of African Ground Nut Oil 16 tuns at auc-
tion were taken in at 37s 64 to 383 per cwt. For
Linseed Oil the market has a firmer appearance, and
for home consumption a good demand has been ex-
perienced whilst several export orders were concluded,
but the supply is plentiful. Rapeseed is not much in
request, and pale is to bo obtained at 351 6d to 365,
brown 34s 6d to 36s ; the supply is on the increase,
and there is only a limited consumption. For Palen the
market is inactive prices are on the decline, and range
at 31s 6d to 393 6d for good and fine quality. Olive is
without variation, the sales made have been small. For
Cocoa Nut the demand continues to be extremely
li-
mited, and sellers are ready to accept 30s to 35s for low
to fine quality. Lard Oil is little wanted, and can be
obtained at 45s to 475. On Friday 20 tuns Sperm, 80
tuns Southern will be offered.
TALLOW.—Russian on the spottis further depressed in
value, arising from the limited demand and eagerness
of merchants to sell. The value of fine P.Y. Candle is
44s Gd to 45F. For delivery in the last three months of
the par few buyers are to be met with,, although 433
would be accepted. Home made is not much required,
and can be obtained at 45s nett cash, us the supply Coil.
tinues to increase. All other sorts are cheaper, and the
quantity brought to market has been large. At public
sale 292 pipes and 21 hhds of South American were
mostly sold. Fur auction 700 casks of Tallow are de-
clared.

OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, JUNE 5,
Royal Regiment of Artillery—Second Captain Powrie
Ellis to be Captain, Vice Greenwood, placed on retired

Sheffield slid Rotherham Company. That company
had threatened him with a mandamus, but although the
application for new registration was only for a change
of the name of the company, it was refused.
To Mr. O'Coxxon, Mr. %%glamors'' replied that after
complete registration there was no necessity for the Bill
to go before the President of the Board of lrade.
To seven' Members of the Committee, Mr. Whitmarsh
said that there had been no return of the number of
shares and the amount of capital of the National Land
Company. Such return, however, ought to have been
made w,tnin one month after the provisional registration
under a penalty of 201., and the ;application for renewal
of registration must be mode on behalf of one-fourth
part both in number and va!ue of the subscribers.
To Mr. HENLEY, Mr. Whitmarsh replied that the
officials of the Registration-office ascertained those par-

he considered that heavy 'penalties had been incurred by
the.promoters of this company, yet, if a deed were now
presented, containing a list of onc-fourth of the share-
holders in number and value, he should feel bound to
register it.
Mr. George Chinery„ managing clerk to Mr. Roberts,
the solicitor of the company, was then examined as to
the legal steps taken for the provisional and Complete
registration of the company, and he stated that every
endeavour had been made to got the company certified
as a friendly society, in the first instance, without avail.
He further generally confirmed the testimony of Mr,
Whitmarsh.
