MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price current of December 29.)
SUGAIL.—The business transacted in all descriptions of
West India Sugar was extremely limited by refiners and
grocers, on Wednesday and Thursday, the quantity disposed
of amounting to only 440 hhds and trcs, but holders evinced
firmness, and obtained previous prices for all sorts. The ar-
rivals of Raw Sugar have not been of much moment since
this day week, but the deliveries continue satisfactory, and
prices are lower than they were in 1815 ; in the stuck, how.
ever, there is little difference.
REFINED.—To-day several purchases were made in Re-
fined Goods by the home trade, and at firm rates, standard
lumps selling at 655, and brown grocery lumps at 64s per cwt.
For Bonded Crushed Sugar the inarket is firm, and there are
several buyers.
MAunerius.—Prices have not improved, but there has
been a fair business transacted by private treaty, and the
rates paid are equal to those previously current; the better
qualities of yellow and grey meeting with the most attention.
EAST hou.—The rates previously established are sus-
tained for all kinds of Bengal Sugar ; but the amount of
business done privately has been to a small extent only, and
non• has been offered at public sale. Madras, however, has
met with attention, and several parcels have been taken ;
but holders are inclined to sell at previous rates. For Ceylon
and Penang former prices have been taken for small parcels.
FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar met with little attention,
and the only transaction worth reporting, is that of 200 cases
of brown Bahia for exportation at 21s per cwt, being about
the former value ; at this rate, however, holders are inclined
to realise.

!COIIEE . —Holders manifest more firmness, and have re-
rained from offering any at public sale. The market has an
improving appearance, a fair amount of business having been
transacted by private treaty, and the rates paid are rather
above those previously current; indeed, of middling and
good middling sorts the supply is far from ample for the
demand.

Cocoa —Th low and middling qualities of West India
have e met with a dull sale, and for such prices tend down-
wardr, the stock being arge, but good and tine are wanted,
and th,
supply
bepinagrcsemlsalsolldll)rivately brought very full rates, the
little business has been or Foreign late rates are asked ; but
done.
SPIRITS. —. EAst India rum has been in good request, and
the parcels sold eat stiffer rates. In Leeward Island
several sales have been m
small, prices rule fir,. i:Ve, and the supply being
emerara of strong quality
has been sou ht after, and_ a fair business has been
done. Jamaica is held firmness, and there

is but a moderate quantity ef anwvill
