MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of March 10.)

SUGAR.— To-day there was a great desire evinced to pur-
chase West India Sugar for refining and grocery purposes,
and the rates offered were fully equal to those of Friday, but
business of moment was prevented by the scarcity and indif-
ferent show at market.

REFINED.—To-day Refined goods we're in excellent re-
quest by the home trade, and stiffer rates were paid, brown
grocery lumps selling at 62s 6d, and standard lumps at 63s
6d to 64s per cwt. The market for bonded crushed Sugar
is very firm at 35s 6d to 35s 9d per cwt for first quality.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius sub-
mitted to public competition amounted to 6170 bags 47 casks
and 16 barrels ; the trade were desirous to operate, and the
whole sold at former rates to 6d. per cwt. advance.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in excellent
request. The quantity submitted to public competition
amounted to 2272 bags, nearly the whole sold at former rates.
FOREIGN.—The market has been much better supplied
with all description of Foreign Sugar since this day week,
and a fall in the value has ensued. A reduction on the pre-
vious rates of is per cwt. having been submitted to for yellow
Havannah, however, has occasioned a large business to be
transacted.

COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced
by exporters to purchase Coffee, but the home trade operated
more freely privately, and only 19 bags of Ceylon were
offered at public sale, which sold at 47s for good ordinary,
and at 43s for first class sea damaged ; by private treaty a
fair amount of business was tranaacted.
TEA.—Holders of Congou are reluctant to reduce their
prices, but the trade have purchased all descriptions with
caution. Twankay has been disposed of to a fair extent,
find pi ices rule firm. Although Ilysons are to be obtainable
upon low terms, still only a limited business has been trans-
acted. Imperials and Gunpowder cannot be obtained gene-
rally on lower terms, but there has been little passing.

SNcEs—Prices at present cannot be quoted higher for
Black Pepper, although none has been again submitted to
public competition, but there has been a good business
transacted by private treaty. All parties are decidedly
more inclined to increase their stocks at present low
prices. The arrivals keep small; the quantity here
is less than it was lest year, and prices are lower.
RteE.—To-day the market was better supplied with Ben-
gal Rice' and three parcels amounting to 1,065 bags and
1,310 pockets were of at public sale; the trade evinced
little desire to operate, and the sound was all taken in 6d
per cwt under former rates.
Rem, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—HoIders of Calcutta
Rum evince firmness, and at is 8d to Is 9d per gallon proof
with certificate, purchases to a fair extent have been made.
Leeward Island is wanted, still no advance in the value has
occurred. Jamaica is not to be had upon lover terms ;
common sorts, however, have been sparingly dealt in at 3s
to 3s 3d, but the better qualities met with more attention.
The inferior sorts of Demerara are dull of sale, and can be
obtained upon easier terms; strong kinds, however, in im-
proved request at 2s 9d to 3s per gallon. The deliveries of
Ruin are still exceeding the arrivals. There has been little
inclination to purchase Brandy of any description. Geneva
has been less in request for exportation, and prices not so firm.
Fine for home consumption is still fetching 2s 0d to 3s. The
value of B itish Corn Spirits is still lOs 6d per gallon nett
cash, and Gin is held for 8s 10d for 22 per cent under proof,
and 17 under Os 4d per gallon ; but the demand has been
limited.

Oms.—A good demand has been experienced for Olive Oil.
For Rape Seed Oil further reduced rates have tempted buy-
ers to operate with more freedom. In Cocoa Nut the trans-
actions privately have been upon a more extended scale. Palm
has been disposed of to a fair extent, but not at better prices.
Prices continue on the advance for Linseed Oil, and there
has been an extensive business transacted. Pale Seal has
been purchased with caution. Southern has suffered no fur-
ther decline in value

TALLOW.—There having been a brisker demand for Rus-
sian on the spot, and the stock being small, holders have suc-
ceeded in obtaining stiffer rates; the demand has been good,
end 42s 9d to 43s per cwt. are the prices given for fine
Petersburgh Yellow Candle duty paid ; the trade, however,
are not disposed to take much more than their immediate
wants rorpiie. For delivery in the last three months
of the year many contracts have been entered into, and
41s 61 to 42s are the rates paid in bond. In the value of
home made little variation has occurred; the demand has
been good at 42s 6d to 43s nett cash, and the supply is but a
moderate one. Other kinds of Tallow are wanted, and pre-
vious rates are sustained, although the market has been
fairly supplied.
