MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

t From the London New Price Current of Jan. 28.)
SUGAR.—To-day a further advance was perceptible in
the value of raw sugar, and the quantity on offer was
not sufficient for the wants of the home trade. There
was much inquiry after West India for all purposes, and
the rates offered were 6d per cwt above those
that existed previously, but business was checked,
owing to the scanty supply. Tho quantity sold
amounted to 420 hhds and tierces, including at public
sale, 84 hhds Barbadocs, which were readily disposed of
at a further advance of 6d per cwt—fine yellow realised
45s 6d, good 43s to 44s 6d, middling 40s 6d to 42s 6d
per cwt. The total purchases for the week amounted to
1,670 hhds and trcs, whilst the rise during that time
amounts to Is and Is 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day refined goods were in excellent
request for home consumption, and stiffer rates were
obtained, standard lumps selling at 563, and brown
grocery 55s to 55s 6d; the supply is exhausted. There
are sellers of Bonded Crushed Sugar at 29s to 29s 6d for
first sort, bat few buyers are to be met with.
AlAutuazus.—To-day there was no public sale of
Mauritius Sugar, but privately several parcels were sold
at a further rise in the value; low to fine brown fetched 32s
to 36s 6d, yellow 37s to 445, and grey 34s to 42s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the demand for Madras
increased, and 4,976 bags of damp and washed at public
sale were all sold at 6d per cwt advance. Of white
Bengal 2,867 bags were sold at and after the sale at a
rise in the value of 6d per cwt, but 1,653 bags of yellow
were nearly all taken much above the value.
FOREIGN. To-day there was no public sale, but
privately a good business was concluded in Foreign
Sugar chiefly by the home trade, and stiffer rates were
paid.
MOLASSES.—West India met with more attention this
week, and realised rather higher rates. Sales to a fair
extent have been made, the better kinds meeting with
the most attention. East India Treacle is held for 16s
to 17s, but there is no improvement to notice in the
demand.

Cocos.—This afternoon 213 bags of Trinidad Cocoa
at auction were sold at stiffer rates, middling dark red
fetched 48s to 495, and grey 46s per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon a fair quantity of Ceylon
Coffee was purchased for home consumption by private
treaty, and former rates were well sustained, good ordi-
nary we quote at 335. At public sale 93 bags of
Coffee from St, Helena were withdrawn ; 37 casks
of Jamaica mostly taken in at 48s for fine fine
ordinary, being above the value, the small part sold went
as follows—fine ordinary 43s to 455, good ordinary
35s 6d, and low 29s 6d to 31s 6d; 22 bags of Ceylon,
low middling Plantation 50s ed to 51s, and damaged 35s
to 435. Privately 3,000 bags of Costa Rica have been
taken in at 31s 6d to 32s 6d for fine ordinary home trade.
For auction 1,000 bags of Costa Rica, 100 casks, 130
barrels Jamaica are declared.

TEA.—There has been no public sale this week, and
there is no arrival, but some ships may be shortly ex-
pected. To-day prices were firm for Tea, but there was
little passing, as public sales are declared for Wednes-
day; at present 5,000 pkgs are declared.
SPICES.—To-day black Pepper was sold to a fair
extent privately ; and 784 bags of Malabar at auction
went at 24d to 2jd for half heavy, and at 2kd to 21,d for
damaged, which are rather higher rates. Of Mace 2 chests
went at 2s 6d for mid, and at 2s 3d for slightly mouldy.
4 chests brown Nutmegs realised 2s 10d for good mid-
dling brown mouldy garbled therefrom, 2s 3d to 2s 5d
for low middling, and is 9d for mouldy; 10 casks of
limed Dutch were taken in at 3s Id for bold. Of Pod
Pepper 126 bags fine bold at 70s to 90s.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The demand has
been animated for all kinds of Jamaica Rum this week,
and a rise in the value of 2d to 3d per gallon has taken
place. The quantity sold amounted to 350 puns, 34 to
36 per cent over proof of plain quality 3s 9d to 3s 10d,
middling ditto 3s 10d to 4s, 33 to 36 over good 4s ld
to 4s 3d, and fine 33 to 37 over proof 4s 4d to 4s 7d.
The demand has been chiefly from speculators and the
home trade. Demarara met with increased attention, and
brought enhanced rates, 250 puns having been sold at
3s Id to 3s 3d for 35 to 37 per cent. ever proof, and
very fine 40 per cent. 3s 4d. For Leeward Island the
demand has been active, and prices must be quoted id
to Id higher. The sales are 3,000
,puns at is 8d proof
strength; small parcels, fit for duty, at is
East India is much wanted, purchases of moment
are prevented by the unwillingness of holders to
sell, and a further rise in the value is apparent. The
sales made have been at Is 7 to is Sd proof with certi-
ficate. For Brandy former rates are well supported,
and there is yet a good demand. Geneva is wanted, and
as the supply is small buyers are compelled to pay stiffer
rates—common export sort selling at 2s 8d to 2s 9d,
and fine, fit fin- duty 3s to 3s 6d per gallon. For British
made Spirits former prices are well sustained.
COOHINEAL.—Tbe demand has been active for all de-
scriptions, and a further advance lin the value of ld per
lb is observable. At public sale 51 bags of Honduras
Silvers were disposed of. Privately several parcels have
been sold at smaller rates. The consumption continues
to be of a satisfactory nature.
RICE.—To-day there was little passing in East India
Rice, but lower rates were not generally taken. For
public sale on Tuesday 4,000 bags of Bengal and 3,000
bags Madras are declared.
Ou.s.—This afternoon at public sale 70 pkgs of Cocoa
Nut Oil were only in part sold at 561153 to 57s for fine
Ceylon, which are lower rates. Palm realised better
prices, 100 casks selling at 32s to 34s ; of Southern 10
tuns went at 301 5s to 321 which is the full value. For
Seal prices are not so firm, 40 tuns went as follows :
pale at 291 15s to 30/, straw 261 to 28, yellow 23155 to
24l 10s, brown 221 to 23/, and boiled 18/10a to 19/.
TALLow.—This afternoon at public sale 300 casks of
P. Y. Candle, stranded, sold 45s 3d to 46s 9d ; 387
pkgs of South American 43s 6d to 46s 9d for middling
to fine, which are easier rates.
