MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

/(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 2.)
SUGAR.—The quantity of West India Sugar received at
this port from the Ist of January to the end of December
was 11,679 hhds. and tierces 3,695 barrels, of Mauritius
125,407 bags 5,611 casks, and of Bengal 21,985 bags greater
than in 1844 to the same time, but of casks and chests there
is a decrease of 622.

REFINED.—There has been a good demand from the home
trade for Refined Sugar this week, and the supply being
small the trade have been compelled to pay rather higher
rates.

MOLASSES —Holders are reluctant to take lower rates for
West India, but the business transacted has been extremely
limited at 19s to 22s per cwt.
COFFEE. —A fair business has been transacted privately in
all descriptions of West India, and the rates paid have been
rather above those previously quoted; holders mani-
fest firmness, and supply the market sparingly with
all descriptions. Ceylon has met with increased atten-
tion, and of Native large parcels have been dis-
posed of by private treaty at improved rates. In Plantation
a fait amount of business has been transacted privately at
rather higher rates. The inferior kinds of Moeha are little
wanted but cannot be had upon lower terms. Java is held
with firmness, and there has been rather more desire mani-
fested to do business. The low rates that for all other East
India descriptions cause merchants to be less inclined to re-
alise, and the quantity offering for sale is much less than it
was.

TEA.—The market has an improving appearance, mer-
chants show firmness, and still refrain from offering any at
public sale. In Congou a good business has been transacted,
especially in the lower descriptions, and the rates paid have
been rather above tnose previously quoted. Of Po uclion g seve-
ral parcels have been disposed of at 5d to 10d. In Twankay
a fair business has been transacted at superior rates.
Faurr.—The purchases made in Raisins have been ex-
tremely limited, and holders experience difficulty in getting
former rates. Currants are dull of sale, and at auction this
afternoon the parcels offered were nearly all taken in.
Corrow.—Holders of East India have manifested firmness
this week, and refused to sell but at fully former rates ; a fair
business has been transacted, and the private sales amount
to 1,000 Wee of Surat at 24d to 3id per lb. There has been
a much better demand for Cotton at Liverpool this week.
SPIRITS.—The business transacted in Jamaica Rum has
been extremely limited this week, but holders remain firm,
and insist upon former rates for all descriptions. For Lee-
ward Island former paces are assked, but there are not many
buyers to be met with at present, For Calcutta the demand has
been pplv :for small parcols at Is lid to 2s proof with certi-
ficate, fin; Demerara late rates are asked, but the amount
of business transeatcd has been upon a small scale only.
Brandy has met with attention, and several parcels have
been disposed of at improved rates. For English Corn Spirits
prices have declined 3d, the quotation being now 10a 6d per
gallon, net cash. Gin is pot cheaper, but the demand has
been I;sa active.

been an extensive business transacted on the spot at 25s to
25. lid per cwt, and for forward delivery many contracts
have been entered into at 25s 6d to 265. The supply is still
diminishing, and likely so to continue. The market has a
fireu appearance for Rapeseed Oil ; and the supply not being
large, prim keep firm. Cocoa Nut Oil has been disposed of
to a fair extent at arm prices, Palm has been purchased with
more freedom, and prices up fully as high as they were,

6l lOs per tun for Southern,
