MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of July 21.)
SUGAR.—Today the inactivity in the market for
every description of duty-paid Sugar was further in-
creased, arising from the announcement of Government,
that they intend to allow Sugar to be refined in bond,
either for home consumption or exportation. The
business, in consequence, by private treaty, was
extremely limited for all purposes, and is not worth
enumerating; there was also no public sale. It is diffi-
cult to quote prices with accuracy; most sorts of colonial
will not fetch within is 6d per cwt of last Friday's rates.
The measure has been productive of a beneficial effect
upon the market for Foreign Sugar in bond. For the
week the sales of West India are barely 648 hhds and trcs.
DEFINED.—To• day there was much heaviness in the
home-trade refined market, and the nearest rates are
53s for brown, and Ms per cwt for standard lumps.
Bonded Crushed Sugar is more in demand, at 26s to 27s
per cwt. . .

MAURITIUS.—AIthough importers are willing to make
a further concession in the value of 6d to is per cwt, yet
on the part of grocers and refiners little desire has been
manifested to operate. The business concluded in all
sorts has been much less than in the former week,
and which is a matter of surprise, when the low rates
that prevail are taken into consideration. Only 1,659
bags and 165 casks were submitted to public sale, still a
part only found purchasers.

- FOR - EIGN.—To-day there was much inquiry after
Foreign Sugar in bond, and stiffer rates were paid. The
private sales for the week are 1,800 chests of yellow
Havannah at 19s; 150 chests of tine brown Bahia 18s,
and 2,000 bags of ordinary brown Pernambuco 16s, 100
chests of white Babia 41s per cwt. For duty-paid par-
cels there is very little inquiry.
EAST INDIA.—Of .Maaras an increased quantity has
been brought to market, whereas buyers showing
little desire to do business, prices went down 6d
per cwt for all sorts. At public sale 4,161 bags
were disposed of. By private treaty only small parcels
have been taken at about similar rates. In Bengal the
dealings in the private market have been of little mo-
ment, although sellers are willing to accept rather lower
rates. Of 1,919 bags 4 chests offered at auction, a small
part only sold.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was not more desire
evinced to operate in Ceylon Coffee. At public sale
867 bags and 25 casks were only in part sold, but full
rates were obtained. Plantation, middling 50s to 565,
low middling 47s to 495, fine fine ord 40s to 455, fine ord
35s to 38s 6d, ordinary 28s to 31s, damaged 29s to 365,
triage 255; Native was taken in at 30$ for sound. 26
casks 74 barrels West India only in part sold, Jamaica,
fine fine ordinary 42s to 44s 6d, ordinary 30s 6d, and
fine fine ordinary Demerara 38s. 12 cases of Yellow
Madras sold at 56s to 58s 6d, and pea berry 618 per cwt.
TEA.--There is no further advance to record in the
value of Congou, but the demand is active, and previous
rates are well sustained; ord and good ord is held for 8d
to 9d, better 10d to Is 3d, strong black leaf and Pekoe
flavour is 4d to 2s 2d. For Twankay the market is
dull, and prices rule low. In other sorts of Green a good
business has been done, and at full rates. Of 11,500
pkgs Tea offered at public sale, 4,500 were sold.
liace.—To-day many parcels of Rice were sold by
private treaty, and at stiffer rates. At auction 833 bags
of Penang sold at 8s 6d to 9s for ordinary yellow small
grain. For Sago there was not a brisker demand, and
of 208 boxes at auction, a part only sold, fine white
large pearl at 19s 6d to 20s, and small ditto 19s 6d per
cwt.
SPICES.—To-day the market was better supplied with
Black Pepper, and the quantity offered at public sale
amounted to 2,930 bags, but a part only sold at full
rates ; 7 packages of Nutmegs middling brown 2s 7d to
2s 9d, ordinary 2s sd, mouldy 2s 5d to 2s 6d; 2 cases of

Ginger, and 100 bags Pimento are declared.

d prices are firmer, whilst 400 hhds have been sold at is
4to is 6d per gallon proof. Leeward Island met
with 2 greater attention, and the sales amount to 300
puns at is 7d to is 8d proof, at which the market
is firm. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in
Demerara, and the rates paid are firm, 2s 4d to 3s per
gallon for 26 to 38 per, caenndtouveorproof. Holders of Ja-
maica show firmness, former terms a good
business has been done, but chieflypn for home-trade pur-
poses. The sales for the week amount to 400 puns,

Cognac, best brands, of the vintage of 1846,re at 4s 6d to

sort, and at 2s 6d to 3s for fine, suitable for home trade
purposes. For British made Spirit prices are without
variation.

whilst there is a material increase in the demand,
and a falling off in the supply. Purchases to a
large extent have been made, and the rates paid
are 30s 6d to 31s for fine, and 29s to 30s for
fair to good quality. Cocoa Nut is little wanted.
