MARKET INTELLIGENCE
(From the London New Price Current of October 30.)
SUGAR.—To-day there were plenty of buyers of West
India Sugar of all descriptions, and rather higher rates were
offered, but business of moment was prevented by the scanty
and indifferent supply at market. The purchases amounted
to 400 hhds and trcs, including 94 hhds of Barbadoes at
auction, which went briskly at a further advance in prices of
6d to Is per cwt.
MAurtrrtus.—This afternoon the market was better sup-
plied with Mauritius Sugar, two parcels amounting to 376
casks and 12,488 bags were offered at public sale, but the de-
mand was active and the whole sold at an advance on former
rates of Gd to Is per cwt.
EAsT INDIA.—This afternoon 270 bags of Madras at public
sale sold at stiffer rates, good yellow at 535, middling 47s 6d
to 48s Gd, low middling 475, damaged 43s 6(1 to 52s W. 2,830
bags of Bengal went briskly, at a rise on former rates of 6d
to Is; good strong yellow like Mauritius fetched 50s to 5
middling 41s Gd to 49s 6d, low 47s to 47s Gd, Dobah kind 44s
to 58s.

FOREIGN.—To day Foreign Sugar was rather more in re-
quest for exportation, and there were not generallp sellers
at former rates. The private sales during the week were
1,400 chests of yellow Havannah, at 23s 6d ; 100 chests of
white, 29s 6d; and 300 hhds of Cuba Muscovadoe at 21s
per cwt.
MonassEs.—The inquiries after all: descriptions of West
India have been numerous this week, but business has been
much interfered with by the scanty supply at market, and
the high rates insisted upon ; a small parcel of Dominica of
very fine quality has brought 30s per cwt.
1 COFFZE.—To-day there was no public sale of any kind of
Coffee, and privately there was little passing; the value of
good ordinary Native Ceylon is only 37s 6d to 38s 6d per cwt.
TEA.—There has been little desire manifested to operate in
Black Tea this week, but holders have refused to submit to
any further decline in prices privately for any kind,
although the supply at market is good; the value of com-
mon and fair Congou cash is Bid to 9d, good common 9id,
and Pouchong low to fine ordinary 4d to 10d. Green can be
obtained upon previous low terms, still few purchases have
been made in any kind privately this week, and there is a
large quantity on offer. Hyson of common quality is only,
worth is is 8d to is 10s, and Twankay low to good yel-
low ish leaf .9d to ls. The public sales which commenced
yosterday were brought to a conclusion this afternoon, the
trade operated with much caution, but holders insisted upon
previous rates. Of the quantity offered, amounting to
27,000 packages, the small part only of 1,700 packages,
chiefly damaged and out of condition, actually found buyers,
at prices generally on a par with those previously current;
a break of low sound common Congou sold at 8d to 814 d per lb.
SPICES.—BIack Pepper is not to be purchased on
lower terms, but exporters and the home trade have
acted with caution. Privately we have few transac-
tions to report, although Sumatra is to be obtained
at 2id to 2id, and Penang 2id to 2id per lb.
White is wanted at the previous cnrrency, and some parcels
have been sold privately; 388 bags at auction were disposed
of at 3%d to 3%d for middling and gr;od middling bold
dingy, and at 2%d to 2%d for damaged. In African Pop
several purchases have been made, and the supply being
small, prices are still improving. Ginger of all kinds is
wanted, and previous improved rates are well sustained;
the supply is on the decrease, and the stock less
than it was last year. Natmegs have been in good
request privately, and prices are improving. Of Mace there
is not sufficient at market for the demand, and prices are
rising. Pimento has been in good demand, and the rates
paid are fully equal to those of this day week. For Cassia
Lignea the market has a firm appearance, and holders still
refrain from offering any at public sale.
Isturoo.—Although the accounts come to hand from Cal-
cutta this week state that the Indigo crop woald not exceed
90,000 maunds ' • still the market here has been in a tranquil
