MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 8.)
SUGAR.—Today West India Sugar was dealt in with
more readiness, still holders were compelled to accept
former rates. For other sorts of Colonial the demand
was, however, not better. At auction 16 hhds 6 trs 13
barrels Barbadoes sold at prices rather in favour
of the trade ; gcod yellow at 36s 6d to 37s 6d, mid-
dling 35s to 365, footy 32s 6d to 335. 160 pkgs West
India chrystalis►ed Demerara ; good and fine 40s to
43s 6d, inferior 36s 6d to 39s 6d, low 34s 6d to 35s 6d,
and middling Berbice 375. The total purchases to-day
are 770, making 1,600 hhds for the week.
REFINED.—To day Refined Goods met with a more
ready sale for home use, but at former low rates. The
market for Bonded Crushed Sugar is still firm.
Memunurs.—This afternoon the market had a quiet
appearance for Mauritius Sugar, and 1,722 bags at
public sale went at former low rates; good middling and
good yellow at 35s 6d to 86s 6d, middling 34s to 355, low
335 to 33s 6d, good brown 325, washed and syrupy 30s
to 35s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 1,299 bags
Bengal sold at barely former rates; good damp grainy
yellow 38s 6d to 395, middling 33s to 33s 6d, low 31s 6d
to 32s 6d, brown 30s, Khaur 27s to 295, ordinary soft
yellow 31s to 31s 6d, middling and good greyish date
36s 6d to 38s 6d. 203 bags Madras went at 33s 6d to
39s 6d for fine damp grocery yellow, and at 33s to 31ts
for low to good.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon holders of Foreign Sugar
remained firm, but little business was done. At auction
1,197 baskets Java were nearly all taken in at full
market rates ; mid grey at 17s to 18s. good and fine
19s to 20s, and yellow 21s to ,21s 6d
.per cwt. A cargo
of white Havannah has been sold afloat rather under
28s per cwt.
___

MOLASSES.—The market for West India is firm at
from 14s to 17s 6d per cwt, still only small parcels have
been sold this week. Bengal Treacle met with little at-
tention, and can be bought at 158 per cwt. For Honey
the tendency of prices is to advance.

Cocos.-7 British Plantation has been more sought
after, but holders insisting upon an advance on former
rates of is to 2s per cwt operated against business. Of
150 bags and 40 barrels Trinidad offered at public sale,
a part only sold; 500 bags of Grenada were nearly all
taken in at 39s to 40a for middling to good red, and 38s
to 38s 6d for ordinary, the damaged sole at 36s to 375.
Foreign is little wanted. A public sale of 3,065 bags of
Guayaquil is declared to take place in ten days.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the market for Plantation
Ceylon Coffee had an improving appearance, and 680
bags 130 casks at auction' sold with spirit at rather
better prices; fine at 60s 6d, good 56s to 58s, middling
46s to 525, low middling 40s to 455, fine to fine fine ord
30s to 395, and other sorts 25s to 29s 6d. The market
firm for Native at 27s to 27s 6d for good ordinary, and
with a brisker sale.
TEA.—To-day the public sales of Tea passed of
quietly, and former rates were barely supported; for
scented Caper the demand was, however good. Of 11,100
pkgs offered, 2,700 sold. The rates obtained have been
