MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of September 15.)
SUGAR.—To. day there was a stronger desire manifested
to purchase West India Muscovado Sugar for both the scale
and pan, and merchants were less inclined to realise. The
demand was brisk, and the rates paid were equal to those of
Friday; indeed, in some cases the better qualities of yellow
and grey brought 6d per cwt advance. The market has a
better appearance for Sugar subject to the 14s per cwt duty.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were largely dealt in by
the home trade, and prices advanced, brown grocery lumps
fetching 62s to 62s 6d, and standard lumps 68s to 63s Gd per
cwt. (rushed Sugar is little wanted for exportation, and
prices have declined, 33s per cwt being taken for first
quality.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon some parcels of Mauritius
Sugar were sold privately, and the bright grocery sorts in
some cases fetched stiffer rates.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 3,246 bags
Bengal Sugar were offered ; a stronger desire was shown to
operate, and the whole sold 6d to is per cwt above former
rates.

----Ms)t,assEs.—To-day several parcels of West India Molasses
were sold at 23s for Antigua, 23s for Dominica, and at 21s
6d for Tobago. Bally Kahl Treacle is fetching 21s to 21s 6d
per cwt.
TEA.—Holders are unwilling to further reduce their prices,
and refrain from offering any at public sale, but the market
has a dull appearance for both black and green, although the
clearances for home consumption amounted to 529,0001b5.
