MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of June 23.)
SUGAR.—To-day a further improvement took place in
the position of the Colonial Sugar market, but for all
slave-labour kinds the demand was languid. West
India was much sought after for all purposes,
higher rates were again obtained, and the quantity
sold amounted to 500 hhds and trcs. At auction 128
hhds of Barbadoes only in part found buyers, at former
rates ; fine yellow realised 43s to 43s 6d, good 41s to
42s 6(1, good middling 40s 6d to 41s, and middling 3fls to
40s; 35 trcs and 153 brls of crystalized St. Vincents
went at stiff rates ; fine strong yellow at 48s 6d to 525.
good 46s to 47s 6d, ordinary and middling 41s to 4is
per cwt. The total quantity sold for the week amounts
to 1,800 hhds and trcs, the advance in prices during
that time amounts to Is per cwt on West India.
REFINED.—To- day refined goods were in excellent re-
quest by the home trade, and prices are looking up ;
standard lumps selling at 55s 6d, brown grocery 54s 6d
to 55s per cwt. For bonded crushed Sugar there is little
demand, sellers are ready to accept 26s 6d for first, and
25s 6d to 26s for second quality.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was an active de-
mand for Mauritius Sugar ; at public sale 5,0010 bags and
312 casks were offered—the whole sold, and at is per
cwt advance on former rates.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with
increased attention, and 1,500 bags at auction went at
stiffer rates. Madras is wanted, but 1,059 bags only re-
alized the former worth.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and privately there was scarcely any demand.
Holders were sellers upon rather lower terms.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced

to make purchases in Coffee, either for home use or ex
portation. At public sale 24 casks of Jamaica were
taken in at the full value—good middling 72s to 72s 6d,
middling 525, low middling 475, fine fine ordinary 36s
to 40s; 196 bags Plantation Ceylon were bought in, good
66s to 70s, and good middling 58s to 60s.
MOLASSES.—An improved demand is expected to take
place shortly, and an advance in the value. In Bengal
Treacle the sales made are of little moment, yet holders
are not disposed to sell upon former terms.
Cocoe.—lmporters of West India are not inclined to
further reduce their prices, bat the trade evince little
desire to operate, and there is a plentiful supply. The
tendency of quotations is evidently downward!. Of
617 bags Trinidad offered at public sale, a small part
only sold.

Txs.—lmporters have manifested more firmness this
week,e, and refrained from submitting any to public sale.
'rr i Rh have been of little moment, whereas a large

RICE.—To-day East India Rice was less sought afst.cr
at public sale 2,635 bags of Madras sold 3d to
6ci
cheaper ; 798 bags Bombay, good white small grain
went at 8s 6d to 9s, and damaged 6s 6d to 8s; the sound
of 1,600 bags Bengal was taken in at lls to 12s for fine
pearly whits, but damaged sold at 7s 6d to lOs per cwt.
SPICES.-Today at auction 446 bags of Malabar Pep.
per were all withdrawn; 76 bags Bombay Cloves sold
id to id cheaper, good bold only realised 6id, damp 6d
to 61d, and damaged Sid to 6d per lb.
SALTPETRE'—To-day rough was less in request, and
of 1,371 bags Calcutta at auction a small part oily sold
at barely former rates.
SPIRIT/I.—The proposal of the Government to make
reduction in the duty of 5d per gallon has caused holders
to ask an advance of 2d, but the home trade have made
purchases in all sorts with caution, and export orders
continue extremely limited. Leeward Island of proof
strength is held for Is 9d to is 10d, East India Is 6d
to Is Bd, Jamaica 29 to 36 per cent. over proof 3s 10d to
4s 3d, fine 4s 4d to ss, and Demerara 28 to 38 per
cent. over at 2s 9d to 3s 4d per gallon. For
Havannah holders ask is 6d proof, but there are few
orders. Brandy is not much in request and there are
ready sellers of Cognac best brands of the vintage of
1846 at 4s 7d to 4s 9d, and 1847 ditto at 3s 7d to 3s 9d
per gallon. Geneva is not much wanted, and common
export sort can be obtained at is 9d; fine fit for duty at
2s 8d to 3s 3d. In British Corn Spirit less business has
been concluded, still prices have not suffered any de-
pression as stocks are small. For Gin rates are sus-
tained.

Oms.—This afternoon at auction 40 tuna of Sperm Oil
were sold at 761 for good, and low at 711 to 71/ 5s ; 50
casks Palm in part sold at 26s to 28s.
TALLow.—This afternoon former rates were not ob-
tamed at the public sales of Tallow ; 263 casks of New
South Wales were chiefly sold at 361 6d to 42s 9d ; 403

pkgs South American 39s to 45i 6d; 100 casks stranded
P.Y.C. 38s 6d to 43s 9d; 50 casks Italian 40s to 43s 6d;
72 casks of Galatz 36s to 42s 9d.
