MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of September 4.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was more desire evinced to pur-
chase Colonial Sugar of all kinds, and merchants manifested
more firmness. For West India Muscavado Sugar of all
orts former rates were insisted upon, and a fair business
was transacted, the quantity sold amounting to 4SO hhds and
trcs, including the public sale of 99 hhds of Barbadoes, which
went at former rates.

BEFINEI.—To• day Refined goods were purchased with
caution by the home trade, although Brown Lumps were to
be obtained at 60s to 61s 6d, according to quality, and
Standard Lumps at 62s to 62s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar
is held for former rates, but there is not so much demand.
This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius offered at public
sale was large, and amounted to 6,025 bags, still there was
a brisker demand, and nearly the whole sold at and after the
sale at the former value.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was more in
demand, and 629 bags at public sale all sold at fully pre-
vious rates, and in some cases rather above. Fine white
Benares brought 53s to 55s 6d, damp and washed 52s to 555,
good strong sound yellow 495, and damp 48s. per cwt.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon, at public sale, 694 baskets and
2,582 bags of Java were offered ; the white was nearly all
withdrawn, and other sorts sold about is per cwt under the
general valuations.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with little at-
tention privately ; 210 bags, at public sale, of Plantation,
were however sold at the full value.

TEA.—Notwithstanding the large consumption there is
going on, and the low rates that are current, still the trade
generally are not inclined to take more than there immediate
wants require. Congou of low and middling quality is id
to ld, the better kinds Id to 3d, Twankay ld to 2d, Hyson
od to 4d, Imperial and Gunpowder 6d to 10d lower
than at that time in 1845. There has been a good business
transacted in the inferior sorts of Congou, but not at better
prices, common only bringing 8d to 9d, good common 9id to
10d, but middling coarse lOid to 11d. The better kinds have
been sparingly dealt in. In Pouchong little business has
been transacted, although low and good quality can be
obtained at 3d to 9d. Of Hyson several parcels have been
sold, but at moderate rates. Of Imperial and Gunpowder
several parcels have been sold, but at further reduced rates.
For Twankay the market has a dull appearance.
SPKAs.—To-day the market was abundantly supplied with
Cassia Lignea, 3,212 chests being offered at public sale, but
the trade were eager buyers, and the whole sold at an ad-
vance on the rates of the last auctions of is to 2s per cwt.
Jamaica Ginger sold at 21 Cs to 71 12s, and low 37s to 41s par
cwt.; Nutmegs taken in at 3s 3d for boled limed Dutch,
and in the shell at Is 6d; of Malabar Pepper 2,040 bags all
sold at the full value.

SPlRlTS.—Although there are sellers of Jamaica Rum upon
rather lower terms, still little business has been transacted.
The value of Leeward Island is is 5d to 2s 6d proof with cer-
tificate, but the demand has been limited. Calcutta is little
wanted, but Is lid to 2s proof strength are the rates insisted
upon. Demerara has been sparingly dealt in ; still holders ask
3s 2d to 3s 5d for strong sorts. Brandy has been in excellent
request, and the vintages of 1844 and 1845 have brought
higher rates, whilst all other kinds fully sustained the former
value. Geneva is wanted for export, common at 25 3d to
2s 4d, and fine by the home trade at 2s 8d to 3s.
