MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London .Arew Price Current of August 7.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India submitting to
rather lower rates for all descriptions, tempted buyers to
operate with mere freedom, and a good business was trans-
acted chiefly in the Refining sorts.
REFINED.—To-day the home trade were induced to take
large parcels of Refined goods, in consequence of 62s to 63s
being accepted for brown lumps, and 64s for standard lumps.
Bonded Crushed Sugar has been purchased with caution.
MAIMITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale, but
one of 7,000 bags is declared for Tuesday. Privately rather
more desire was shown to operate, but better prices were not
to be obtained.
EAST INDIA.—To-day the quantity of Madras offered at
auction was large, and amounted to 9,320 bags; the trade
evinced little desire to operate, and nearly every lot was
taken in is per cwt under the former value.
FOREIGN.—There has been a falling off in the demand for
all descriptions of slave-made Sugar, whether imported in
foreign or British ships, but the holders have confidence, and
supplied the market sparingly since last Friday. The ar-
rivals during that time have been small.
3loLAssEs.—For all kinds of West India the market has
a dull appearance, and the supply is on the increase, whilst
prices are on the decline. In Bengal Treacle there has been
scarcely any business transacted, and previous rates cannot
be obtained. At public sale five casks of Savanilla sold for
9s. llonry in increased supply, and reduced rates are sub-
mitted to.
COFFEE.—To-day there was a fair business transacted
privately in Ceylon, but not at better prices ; none was
offered at auction : of Mysore, 492 bags were brought to the
hammer, and sold at fair market rates. 7 bales of Mocha
sold at 30s for triage.
Cocoa.—For Foreign the market has a quiet appearance,
but the stock not being large, holders are reluctant to lower
their prices, and at auction 113 bags of Bahia were taken in
at the former value.
Tua.—There has been more activity in the market for
black, and prices have assumed an upward tendency for all
descriptions; there being a less quantity on offer. Congou
has been in good demand and brought an advance on
previous rates of id to Id per lb, common quality bringing
91d, and good common 10d to lOid per lb cash; the
inferior sorts met with the most attention. Of Pouchong
several parcels have leen disposed of, and owing to
the falling off in the supply, buyers are compelled to pay
somewhat better prices. In Souchong the operations are
upon a more extended scale; still prices do not improve.
Twankay is little wanted, and there are sellers upon rather
lower terms. For Flowery Pekoe the market is dull; several
parcels are pressing fur sale, and it is difficult to quote prices
with accuracy; the finest is not worth more than 4..
Orange Pekoe is little wanted, and holders experience difficulty
in getting more than 2s. for the best, as there is a fair stock
here. In Hyson a good business been transacted, but prices
arc lowering. In Young Hyson sales to a fair extent have
been made, but holders are compelled to take previous
rates. For the better sorts of Imperial and Gunpowder
prices keep up, and the demand has been good.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice met with much more atten-
tion, and the private sales reached 10,000 bags, at ad ad-
vance. 100 bags 429 pockets at public sale were taken in
above the value.
SPICKS.—To-day at public sale 50 bags Bourbon Cloves
were taken in at is ld, being above the value. Mace is
wanted, and 9 cases sold at full rates. For Nutmegs the
market has a quiet appearance; 6 casks sold upon easier
terms. 136 bags 20 casks African Ginger, sold at 26s 6d to
27s for bold, and sea damaged 24s : 75 robins 35 bags Cochin
Pepper sold at 2.1 d for half-heavy clean brown, 2id for grey.
FRUIT.—At the close of the week the business done in
Currants was very considerable ; the consumption large,
stock very much reduced, and hew now remaining in the im-
porters hands, and none in the market to be had under the
quoted prices of 48s for Zante and Cephalonia, and at 49s to
49s 6d for Patras. Valentia Raisins are getting very scarce.
SPIRITS.—There has been a considerable falling off in the
demand for all descriptions of Jamaica Rum this week ; but
holders are unwilling to reduce their prices. For Calcutta
the demand has been limited, and prices are not so firm. In
Demarara a fair business has been transscted, but not at
better prices. For Leeward Island the market has assumed
a dull appearance, and the tendency of prices is downwards.
There has been more activity in the Brandy market this
week, and prices are firmer. In Geneva there has been a
good business transacted for exportation, and prices are
higher. Brake Corn Spirits have been in better demand,
English at 103 4d, Irish and Scotch 10 2d to los 3d per
gallon net cash.
