MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

- -- • --
(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 24.)
S lIGAR,—To-r1 ay the importers of Raw Sugar were not
disposed to make any further concesesion in the value,
still exporters or home trade buyers could not be induced
to extend their purchases, as the supply continues good.
West India was dealt in with caution, both for the pan
and scale, at the rates of yesterday. At public sale
102 hhds 21 tierces and 44 barrels of Barbadoes
were only in part sold upon barely former terms ; good
yellow went at 38s 6d, good middling 375, middling 35s
6d to 36s 63, low 34s to 355. The purchases to-day are
only 210, making 1,096 hhds and trcs for the week, but
prices are not more than 6d per cwt lower than on Fri-
day last. For public sale on Tuesday 150 hhds of Bar-
badoes, 800 bags of Mauritius, 200 bags of Bengal; and
for Wednesday 151 hhds 19 casks of Cuba Muscovado
Sugar are declared.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were dealt in with
more readiness for home trade purposes; good brown
lumps at 475, and standard at 48s per cwt. The market
for Bonded Crushed Sugar is firm at former rates.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the public sales of 2,567
bags, 26 casks, and 42 barrels Mauritius Sugar went off
flatly, a part only finding buyers at about former terms.
The chief part consisted of small lots, and of Sugar out
of condition.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Madras Sugar of soft
quality met with little attention, and 1,629 bags at auc-
tion were only in part sold at about former terms ; low
brown went at 27s 6d, middling 28s, good and fine 28s 6d
to 294 63, low yellow 30s to 31s, middling 31s 6d to
32s 6d ' • but 878 bags were sold on full terms. 1,342
mats Manilla taken in at 29a 6d to 30s 6d for low brown
Muscovado, and washed 28s to 29s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, but privately more business was done; the pur-
chases for this week are a cargo of white Paraiba at 20s;
10,000 bags yellow Manilla 17$ 3d; 1,000 chests white
Khaur 265; -the Pernambuco taken in at public sale on
Wednesday has been sold at. an average of 19s 3d for
white; a earg of Maceio is reported at 20s. At Baste'
800 chests of tine yellow Havannah found buyers at 41s
duty raid.
MOLASSES.—OnIy a small business has been concluded
in West India this week; still holders are firm, and in-
sist upon fully former rates for all kinds; the value is
from 14s 6d to 18s per cwt. Purchases to a fair extent
have been made in Bengal Treacle at 15s to 15s 6d
per cwt.

COFFEE.—There was no public sale to-day of any
sort of Coffee, and privately little business was done for
home use or export. The value of good ord Native
Ceylon is 26s 6d to 27s Gd. On Tuesday 800 bags of
Native Ceylon Coffee will be put up to public sale.
Coes:la.—Prices are stilt on the decline for Foreign,
and buyers operate with reluctance, the supply also in-
creases. At public sale, 262 bags Guayaquil were sold
at 28s 6d, but 115 bags bright red Bahia were all with-
drawn at 29s to 30s per cwt. British Plantation is not
offered at any further decline; the demand is, however,
not of a more satisfactory nature. The value of low to
fine red is 37s to 435, and grey 36s to 395. The stock is,
however, on the decrease.
TEA.—Black is not offered at a further reduction, yet
all parties do business with caution, and the supply is
plentiful. Green has been dealt in with caution, and
can be obtained upon rather lower terms, the supply also
far exceeds the wants of the trade. Notwithstanding the
cheapness of Scented and Pekoe Tea, yet buyers cannot
be induced to extend their purchases. It is sur-
prising that with low prices, a large consumption
and moderate stock, that the Tea market should
continue in so unfavourable a position. The value of
Congou of ordinary quality is 644 to 7d, good ord 741,
mixed blackish leaf 81 to 84d, blackish leaf 9d to 10d,
strong lld to is hi, ditto and Pekoe flavour is 2(1 to
is 9d, Souchong, low and middling 8d to is 2d, good
and fine Is 4d to 2s 4d, and Pouchong 4d to 7d. Dealers
in both town and country are but moderately supplied.
SPIRITs.—A large amount of business has been con-
cluded in Leeward Island Rum this week, but holders
have been compelled to submit to a further reduction. The
sales are 700 puns at is 3id for good brown, a few lots at
Is 4d, and a small parcel of plain quality at is 3d. East
India is little waded, and 50 ',lids of fine have been
sold at Is 4.1 proof; low is only worth is 3d. Demerara
has been sold to a fair extent, but at prices in favour of
buyers. The sales are 250 puns at 2s to 2s Id for 30
to 38 per cent over proof. For Jamaica home and
export demand is limited, though sellers are
willing to, take rather lower rates for all kinds
excepting for fine, of which the supply is small.
Cuba is not worth more than is 2d proof. Brandy is
not lower, still buyers make purchases with caution, de-
liveries keep upon a large scale, and the stock is mode •
rate. For Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1845
holders ask 5s Id to 5s 3d, 1846 4s 9d to 4s I Id, 1847
3s 9d to 3s l ld, inferior 3s to 3s 4d, Bordeaux 2s 4d to
2s 9d, Spanish 2a 3d to 2s 4d, and French 50 per cent
over proof 23 to 2s 2d per gallon.
COcurNEAL.—Priees generally cannot be quoted
higher for this article as the supply is yet plentiful. At
auction 244 bags of Honduras were all sold. The valise
of black is 3s 8d to ss. Mexican 3s 6d to 4s, silvers
3s 4d to 3s 7d. All sorts keep much lower in
price than at that time, but this is not expected to be the
case long, as the state of trade in the manufacturing parts
of the country is better.
RICE.—To-day the demand was not brisker for East
India Rice. At Auction 1.794 bags of Bengal were
taken in at lls 6d to 123 6d for good mid and good
white, and mid Ils to Ils 6d, which is rather above the
value, but damaged sold at 8s 6d to 103 6d, 653 bags of
Madras sold at steady rates, good pinky white 9s to 9s
6d, inferior 8s to 8s 6d. and damaged 7s 6d to 8s per cwt.
SPICES.—Of Black Pepper none has been offered at
auction this week, and privately only small parcels
have been sold, notwithstanding the low rates current.
Sumatra of clean quality is to be obtained at 21d, low
grey dusty Penang at 2d, Malabar 2ad to 2:ld, and shot
at 2-id to 3d. White is yet in small supply, and is
wanted at 4d to 54d, fine Gd to 9d per lb. Pod is dull of
sale at 40s to 603 per cwt. The supply of Pimento has
fallen off, and there is a fair demand at 4id to 5d for
mid to good; none has been offered at auction this week.
SALTPETRE.—HoIders of Rough continue to display
firmness, and refrained from submitting any to public
sale this week, whilst privately only a limited quantity
is on offer. Several inquiries have been experienced
from shippers and home trade buyers, and the rates
offered are fully equal to Friday last. Calcutta of low
and mid quality realises 25s to 255 6d, and good to fine
26s to 275. These rates are 2s to 33 per cwt under
those current at this time last year. British refined
sells readily at 28s 6d to 295, indeed some parties
will not take these rates.

FRUIT.—To-day at public sale 181 pkgs of Patras
Currants part damaged sold at 36s to 395, low 33s • 51
pkgs Cephalonia 35s to 375, low 32s to 34s ; 278 bskts

in part sold; fine small pearl at 19s 6d to 20s 6d, mid
and good rather bold 18s to 20s 6d, fine 22s 6d, low

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD, Nov. 24.—We have fair arrivals and a
good show of samples from vessels near at hand. Buyers

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 24.—At this day's market there
was a fair attendance of both town and country dealers,
and a large show of all kinds of corn, fresh arrived. The
demand for wheat was extremely slow, without any ma-
terial change in prices; pure white Genessee brought
8s to 8s 2d per 701bs. Oats and oatmeal were not much
inquired for, and the few buyers that appeared obtained
an advantage of id per bushel and 6d pereload. Barley
and peas were offered on lower terms, without 'inducing
transactions of moment. • Beans were steady. Flour
moved off only in retail, and 29s per barrel, duty paid,
was an extreme price for Western Canal ; there were
buyers of bonded at 25s and sellers at 265. There was
rather an improved demand for Indian Corn, and pre-
vious rates were supported; 35s 6d per 4801bs was made
for flat American yellow; but Corn Meal met a languid
inquiry, at 17s 9d per barrel.
EXETER, Nov. 24.—Cattle—A very small compared
with that of last week, but it being quite sufficient for
the demand, no advance has taken place. Fat beef must
still be quoted at from 8i to 9s per score; barreners,
4s 6rl to 5s per score, but for very fresh half fat beasts
a higher figure was given. Cows and calves, from 91
to 131 each. Butchers' calves, which were rather plenti-
ful, sold at from 51d to 6d per lb. The number of sheep
driven in was not much more than half so many as en
the preceding week. Fat wethers cannot be quoted at
more than sid per ib, and ewes at sd. Keeping sheep
at late rates. There was a large supply of store pigs,
but to obtain sales, lower rates had to be submitted to.
Pork Carcases—The supply was about equal to last
week, and sold at from 7s 9d to 94 per score. Corn
Exchango—Wheat remains nearly the same as last
week, although there is a slight difference in some sam-
ples in favour of the buyer. Best old warranted wheat
is worth about 8s per bushel, and prime new, 7s to 7s 3d,
in one instance only have we heard a higher price than
this for new, which was •for a small sample, which
changed hands at 7s 6d per bushel. Barley rather lower,
the best selling at about 4s per bushel; oats, 2s to 2s Gd
per bushel; fine flour, 41s to 43s per sack.
TIVERTON, Nov. 21.—There was a somewhat fuller
attendance of buyers than usual in our market on Tues-
day last, though the price of grain experienced a depres-
sion. There were several samples of wheat as low as
4s 6d, but the best quantities sold at 6s and 6s 6d ; bar-
ley, 3s 3d to 3s ltd; oats, 2s to 2s 4d; beet; 6d to Od
for the prime joints; small Exmoor mutton, 41d and 5d
per lb; best wether do., 6d to 6i-d; pork, 51-d to 61d;
sides of bacon, bid to 7d, without limbs ; ducks, 3s to
4s per couple; fowls, 2s to 23 9d; butter, 10d per lb;
eggs, Is per dez ; potatoes 121bs for ls.
.Dennv, Nov. 24.—We have a dull trade in wheat at
about is decline. No change in other things, and little
passing. Wheat, 53s to 56s per 36 stone; ditto, white,
57s to 60.:. Barley, 34; to 365. Old oats, 26s to 30s per
stone. Beans, old, 40.; to 48s per 38 stone. Flour, 41s
to 43s per 20 stone.
NEWTON, Nov. 22.—The market hero was well at-
tended, considering the weather was so bad. Beef, 6d
to bid per lb; veal, siti to ed ditto; mutton, 61 to Old
ditto; pork, 61 to 61d ditto; dead carcases, 8s ed to 9s
per score. Poultry—Fowls, 2s 9d to 3s per couple;
ducks, 3s 6d to 4s ditto; turkeys, 4s to 4s 6d each;
butter, lld to is per lb; eggs, is to is Id per
dozen; potatoes, is per score; oats, 6s 3d to 6s 6d per
bag; barley, 8s per bag, and 9s ditto for seed. The sale
for wheat was very dull, scarce any sold in the market.
There was a great show of bullocks. Sheep were
slightly attended to. A great quantity of slip and suck-
ing pigs were sold. The market was well attended with
paultry, butter, eggs, hares, and rabbits.
lesWICH CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 21.—Our Cattle
market to-day was badly supplied, scarcely any sheep,
very few fat beasts, stores short in supply, prices lower,
except for pigs, and the trade exceedingly bad.
Ipswich, Nov. 21.—We had a largo attendance at
our corn market, and a good supply of barley to-day, but
not 'so large of wheat. The trade was dull and lower
for both, say is per quarter on wheat, and 2s on barley.
But few beans or peas, and the sale dull at is abatement.
EYE, Nov. 21.—We had a full market, and a large
supply of corn. The prices being lower, but little busi-
ness was done. Wheat full ls. per coomb cheaper than
the previous week. Good barley brought 16s, fine
les 6d, but very few buyers at these prices. Peas, beans,
and oats, the same as last week.
WOODBRIDGE, Nov. 22.—Wheat in short supply, yet
Is per quarter lower. Fine barley scarce and fully as
dear ; secondary sorts is per quarter lower. Beans and
peas, none offering.
BURY ST. EDMUND'S, Nov. 22.—We had a good supply
of wheat at market to-day ; inferior qualities were lull
2s peilquarter lower ; the best descriptions m tintained
late rate=. Barley very dull sale. Beans and peas very
scarce and commended quite as much money. Oats but
little inquired after.
STOWMARKET, Nov. 23.—Though the attendance at
our market to-day was good, we did not think the
supply of corn large ; that of wheat was small, but of
barley pretty good. The trade was very dull, though
dry wheat maintained last week's prices ; but barley
must be called is per quarter lower. In beans and peas
we had but little variation in prices, being few of either
offering.
NEWBURY, Nov. 23.—At to-day's market we have a
large supply of wheat, principally composed of the growth
of the present year. The first selected, new and old,
nearly support late rates, whilsrother sorts are difficult to
quit at a decline of is to 2s per quarter. Barley large
supply, and Is to 2s per quarter lower, with a slow trade.
Beans, peas, and oats moderate supply, with a very
slack demand, at rather declining rates. Old wheat 54s
to 50s ; new ditto, 36s to 581 ; barley 28s to 365; oats,
18s to 26s ; beans, 34s to 425 ; peas 36s to 44s per
quarter ; best seconds flour 40s per sack.

sheep was rather sbort; a few of tho inferior sheep re-
mained unsold. Beef, Gs to 6s 6d per stone; mutton, 6d
per lb.

SALFORD, Nov. 22.—The show of prime boasts very
small today, but of inferior quality. Superior sheep
equally scarce; and best quality of beef and mutton in
great demand. The former fully 11 per head dearer;
and the best mutton worth fully 6d per lb.
NEWCASTLE, Nov. 21.—The supply of all kinds of
fat stock on offer here to-day has been of a very in-
different quality, more especially as regards cattle,
which were decidedly the worst in point of quality that
have been shown this season. The supply of beef would
comprise about 500 head of boasts, the demand for
which was more animated than for some weeks past;
the better qUalities sold freely at our quotations, and a
good clearance was effected. The number of sheep on
offer was unusually small, there being only 3,617 head
presented for sale. The short supply, together with a
good attendance of buyers, caused all breeds to advance
from the rates of last week, particularly small sheep,
which in some instances made 35 per head more money,
and business was soon brought to a close. Pigs—the
number shown was 212, which were of a superior
quality, including 47 from Ireland; the demand for all
kinds was extremely brisk, and nearly all changed
owners. Prices:—Beasts, 5s to 6s 6d; pork, is to 7s 3d
per stone of 141bs; sheep, white-faced wedders, is per
head above 6d, middling 6d, ewes, 51d; black-faced
wedders sid, ewes 4id to 5d per lb sinking offal.
DUNDEE, Nov. 20.—Wheat, 55s to 58s; foreign ditto.
588 to 60s; barley, 25s 6d to 275; oats, 215 6d to 22s 6d.
DUNBAR, Nov. 21.—We had a good supply of grain
to-day. Sales were dull, and prices rather lower.
Wheat, weighing 6511b3., brought 58s, and prices to 425;
barley, weighing 501 lbs., brought 31s, and prices to 225;
oats, weighing —lbs., brought 22s 6d, and prices to 18s;

EDINBURGH CATTLE MARKET, ....110V. 22.—:The num-
ber of cattle this morning was 374—the quality gene-
rally of a superior description, which caused a brisk
demand, and last week's prices fully supported. Top
price 8s 6d, current Bs, middling and inferior 6s to 7s 61
A. pod clearance was effected. he supply 91 Aheep

was 2,084, being 612 less than last week. In consequence
of the bad demand sales were very dull. At the close
of the market one half remained unsold. Prices did not,
however, vary much from those of last week. Top
price sd; current, 4d to sd; secondary and inferior
qualities, 3d to 4d.
DENBIGH, Nov. 22.—There was but little business
transacted in our market this day, prices having a down-
ward tendency. Wheat, from 18s to 19s per 1681 b.
IZUTHIN, Nov. 22.—A very slack attendance at the
market to-day, and but little business done. There ap-
peared but a small reduction in prices, the latter varying
according to the quality of the grain. Wheat, l9i to
193; barley, Ils 6d to 123 6d; oats, 6s 6d to 7s 9d per
hobbet.

DEVIZES, Nov. 23.—We had rather a small supply of
wheat, of which perhaps one-third part was old; the old
and the bust new were in steady demand, and realised
fully last week's prices; middling qualities were about
Is a quarter lower, and the damp out of condition almost
unsaleable. A good clearance was made of all of a fair
quality.; the best now realised 28s a sack, and the best
old 30s 6d. Barley was in middling supply ; the best
was in a fair request, and sold at nearly last week's
prices, but all of a secondary quality was much neglected
and fully is a quarter lower. In oats, beans, and peas,
but little' doing, the trade dull, and no alteration in price.
Wheat, white, 59s to 63s ; ditto, best red, 56s to Gls ;
ditto, middling ditto, 41s to 545; ditto inferior ditto, 37s
to 475; barley, 28s to 365; oats, 23s to 275; bean; old,
46s to 48s ; ditto, new, 403 to 44s ; peas, 38s to 42s

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
A NBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON RAILWAY.
—A requisition has been presented to the directors of
the Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston Railway, by
shareholders holding to the extent of some 12,000 shares,
and representing an aggregate interest of 20,000/. in the
capital, requesting them to call an immediate meeting,
to take into consideration an application to Parliament
to reduce the amount of capital, to limit it to the con-
struction of the line between Nottingham and Grantham
for the present, to enable the company to amalgamate
with either tho Midland, Great Northern, or Eastern
Counties, to take into consideration the affairs of the
company with a view to an improved management, a
change or alteration in the present board of directors,
and calling upon the directors to abstain until after the
meeting has been held from any further call upon the
shareholders.
STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY.—No does
have been given of intention to apply to Parliament, in
the next session, for powers-1. To abandon that por-
tion of the Stock ton and Darlington Railway, commenc-
ing at the east side of the Yarm station, and passing,
through the townships of Eggletcliffe, Preston, and

Herald.

The first girder of the bridge of the Grimsby and
Sheffield line over the Witham was put up on Wednes-
day lait. The girders are made of wrought sheet
boiler iron, and the amazing strength required appears
to be gained by the peculiar way in which they are
made. Persons unused to such matters would pronounce
that the first train would bear down the whole of the
work into the river; but it is said the deflection of
such girders as these is very slight indeed.—Lincoln

The Crossing, of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield line
over the High-street into the Midland station has been
commmencel and it is said to be purposed to open the
line on the 18th of December. Whether the portion of
the Great Northern line between Lincoln and Gains-
borough will be ready for opening by the same period
is not yet stated, but it is said that the company find
the 'disadvantage of having to set down passengers at
Lincoln, from whom large additional profits might be
obtained, if the Lincoln and Gainsborough line was cora-
plete.—Lincoln Mercury.

[ADVERTISEMSNT.]—A Life Guardsman, one of
the Heroes of Waterloo, Cured of Rheumatism by Ho!.
loway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. Thomas Brunton,
landlord of the Waterloo Tavern, Coathana, Yorkshire,
was afflicted for many months with rheumatism and
rheumatic gout ; his legs were dreadfully painful and
disfigured with colours of every hue, frightful to behold;
for ten weeks he was wholly unable to walk. The treat-
ment he received from several medical men, not only
failing to do him any good, but leaving him, in fact, in
considerably worse condition. At this juncture Hollo-
way's Pills and Ointment were resorted to,land by their
sole means he has been restored to health and strength.
Sold by all Druggists, and at Professr Holloway's Esta-
blishment, 244. birand, London.
