MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Jane 5.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a good business transacted in
West India Sugar for the use of grocers and refiners, but the
rates taken were rather under those that previously existed,
making the decline for the week 6d. to Is.
REFINED.—Today Refined goods were purchased with
eagerness by the home trade, and higher rates were paid,
brown lumps selling at 67s to 68s, and standard lumps at
68s 6d to 69s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted,
and it is difficult to purchase first quality under 32s 6d
per cwt.
Matmertus.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was pur-
chased with more freedom, and 7,671 bags at public sale were
all sold at full rates, but not above.
EAST larrnA.—This afternoon at public sale 550 bags of
Bengal Sugar sold with more spirit, and steady rates; fine
white bringing 548 to 565, damp 53s to 555, and washed
54s 6d.
FOREIGN.—For yellow Havannah there has been a good
inquiry this week, but holders requiring rather higher rates,
business of moment has been prevented; brown is wanted,
and there are not sellers upon former terms; white is not
offered at any further decline in prices, but there are few
orders in the market at present.
COFFEE—This afternoon there was no improvement in the
demand for Mocha Coffee, and 42 bales at auction sold at
barely former rates. Native Ceylon was only in limited de-
mand, but Plantation was in fair request.
COCOA.—There has been less inquiry after West India this
wee,
kand a public sale of 450 bags of Grenada went off
heavily at rather lower rates.
TE.I. —Of Congou of various descriptions many paroebi
have been disposed of, but holders are compelled to accept
easier rates. In Pouchong a fair business has been transacted,
but not at better prices In Twankay there has been little
business transacted, but prices keep up. Myson is se

ing further advanced rates, business of moment has been
prevented, and only small parcels have been disposed of. In
Calcutta a fair business has been transacted, and prices are
willing to reduce their prices. Demerara:

SPICES.—To-day the quantity of Malabar Pepper brought
to public sale was large, and amounted to 1,528 bags, and
6M9 robins, but tbereVaAilttle-desire evinced to operate,
and nearly the whole was taken in at rather lower rates.
- MOLASSES —The inquiries have been numerous after all
descriptions of West India, and further advanced rates are
offered, but the supply at market being small, business of
moment has been prevented.
Oats.—This afternoon prices declined for Southern Oils,
but the demand was good, and 210 tuns at public sale nearly
all sold. Sperm is cheaper, and at auction 20 tuns sold at
771 5s to 791 for Colonial, and Headmatter 80/.
TALLow.---This afternoon at public sale, 166 casks of
alessa Tallow were taken in ; 122 casks of New South Wales
sold, fine 425, good 41s 3d to 41s 6d, middling 38s to 40s; 73

middling 36s 6d to 395; 7 cks South American sold at 39s to
39s 6d per cwt.
TIIRPILNTINE.—AIthough there are sellers at the reduced
rates of 39s to 40s per cwt for spirits, still little business has
been transacted, and the market is well supplied; that prices
will further give way is the general impression.
