MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 1.)
SUGAR.-There was no improvement apparent in the
proceedings in Raw Sugar for home trade purposes, and
prices are still drooping, notwithstanding the decrease
of supply at market. West India met with little atten-
tion for either scale or pan, and only 360 hhds and trcs
found buyers, making 1,770 for the week, and at prices
6d per cwt lower. The market for free labour Sugar
closes with much heaviness. For public sale on Tues-
-150 hhds Barbadoes, and for Thursday 1,308 boxes Yel-
low Havannah, duty paid or allowed, and 1,200 baskets
Java Sugar, are declared.
REFINED.-To-day there was much dulness in the
market for home trade Refined Goods, and former rates
are with difficulty kept up. Bonded Crushed Sugar is
not cheaper, but there was less disposition shown to do
business.
MAURITIUS.-This afternoon little activity was ap-
parent in the market for Mauritius Sugar, and 1,052
bags at auction were only in part sold at barely former
rates; low yellow went at 335, fine brown 32s to 32s 6d,
syrupy 27s to 33s 6d, and washed 27s to 32s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon Bengal Sugar was dealt
in with caution, and 1,678 bags at public sale went 6d
per cwt lower, but the whole sold; middling white Be-
nares at 38a 6d to 395, damp 37s 6d to 38s, low soft
yellow 32s Gd to 33s Gd, middling 34s to 355, good 375,
fine strong yellow damp and washed 39s 6d to 435,
good 38s to 38s 6d, middling 36s to 37s 6d, and low 33s
to 34s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.-This afternoon at public sale 424 hhds
250 barrels Porto Rico Sugar were taken in rather above
the value; low greyish yellow at 35s 6d to 365, and mid
37s 6d to 38s. The private operations for the week are
1,000 chests yellow Havannah at 18s to 20s for middling
to fine, and a cargo of white Bahia at 20s per cwt for
Trieste.
CccoA.-There has been more inquiry after West
India this week, but holders insisting upon better prices,
operated against business by private treaty. Of 445
bags Trinidad offered at auction, a part only sold. The
better sort is much wanted, and is in small supply. For
Foreign the demand is not brisker, and prices keep low;
Guayaquil is only worth 28s to 28s 6d, and Brasil 28s to
29s per cwt. A public sale of 50 bags 41 barrels Trini-
dad Cocoa is declared to take place on Tuesday.
COFFEE.-To-day the dealings in Coffee by private
treaty were of little moment both by exporters and home
trade buyers, still holders were not disposed to accept
lower rates. None was put up to auction. The value
of Native Ceylon is from 26s 6d to 28s per cwt. On
Tuesday 15 casks 22 barrels Jamaica, and on Wednes-
day 4,000 bags Costa Rica Coffee will be offered for pub-
lic competition.
TEA.-Public sales to the extent of 15,900 packages
are declared to take place on Wednesday, about 600 of
which consist of Assam. There is a desire shown by
merchants to accept former low rates for all sorts
of black, yet the dealings have been upon a
small scale only; fair useful common Congou is
offered at 7kd for money. In the market
for Green much dulness exists, and the tendency of prices
is yet to recede for most sorts ; the supply continues to
get more plentiful. For scented and Pekoe Teas few
buyers are to be met with, and sellers are willing to make
a further concession in the value. The current rates for
Tea are es follows-Congou, ord Sid to 7d, good ord
mxd blkh if 8d to Sid, bllth if 9.1 to 10d, strong lld to
is Id, do and Pekoe fia is 2d to is Souchong, low

to 3s 4d, fine 3s 6d to 4s, caper 7d to is 6d; Twankay,
ord 3d to sd, brtsh 6d to 9d, and Hyson kind 10d to Is.
Orange Pekoe ord and mid quality 7d to Is, good and
fine scented Is 2d to 2s, black leaf Pekoe 10d to is Bd,
and flowery Is to 3s per lb.

RICE.--Yrices have still a downward tendency for all
sorts; fine white Bengal can be purchased at 12s to 12s
6d, good mid and good lls to lls 6d, mid lOs 6d, low
and broken 9s to 10s, cargo 7s 6d to Si; Madras
pinky white 8s to 9s, cargo 7s to 7s 6d; Java
white 8s 6d to 12s, and yellow 7s to 8s per ca t.
Cleaned finds a good sale ; Sago flour is offered at 16s
to 16s 6d ; Sago 17s to 22s ; Farina 15s to 16s ; Tapioca
6d to Bd, and West India Arrowroot at 3d to Is 2d ;
the sales made are upon a smaller rcale. On Wednes-
day 500 boxes pearl Sago flour, and on Thursday 1,900
bags Rice will be offered at auction.
SPIRITS.—There is no advance to record in the value
of Jamaica Ruin this week; the demand has been brisker
chiefly for home trade use. The total sales arc 500 puns.
Of fine sorts there is only a small supply, and the de-
mand is good, from 3s 9d to 4s 2d for 35 to 38 per cent.
over proof. Demerara is not offered at any further
decline ; the demand is also good, and 150 puns have
been sold at 2s to 2s 3d for good and fine quality 34 to
33 per cent over. Leeward Island is in much better de-
mand, and cannot be purchased upon former terms. For
the week 400 puns have been sold, mostly at is 4d for
good quality, and a small part at is 3id for plain.
East India met with a more active sale, and
about 200 hhds wero disposed of at is 3d proof.
Havannah Rum is not much wanted at present, and
Is. old. is the nearest value of proof. For Brandy for-
mer rates are asked, and deliveries still exceed those of
last year, but the market is in a quiet state. Cognac
best brands of the vintage of 1845 we quote 5s Id to
5s 3d, ditto 1846 at 4s 9d to 4s 11d, ditto 1847 3s 9d to
3s lid, inferior marks 3s to 3s 4d, Bordeaux 2s 4d to
2s 2d; Spanish 2s to 2s 4d, and French 50 per cent over
proof at 2s to 2i 2d. The market for British made Spirit
is in a quiet state. Geneva has been dealt in with cau-
tion, and lower rates are taken; common exportation
sort is offered at Is 10d to is lid, and fine for duty at
2s 4d to 3s 4d per gallon.
SALTPETRE.—For Rough the market is firm, and a
fair business has been done at from 25s 6d to 27s for low
to fine. None was offered at public sale, but a large
parcel is declared. British Refined sells readily at 28s
6d to 29g. Nitrate of Soda is in fair demand at 11s 6d
to 12s per cwt.
FRUIT.—The operations in Currants have been upon
a very large scale all the week, and hollers show
much firmness—new Zante and Cephalonia realise 36s
to 375, Patras 38s to 395, ditto Upper Gulf and new
growths 358 to 365, old sorts realise from 3ls
to 34g. Valencia Raisins find a ready sale at
36s to 375. Sultanas meet with little atten'ion, and
must be quoted lower; the primest will not fetch more
than 70s. There are sellers of fine Elemer4p9Bol3t,o, 4a4nsd.
Of Turkey Figs there is still a scanty su
much demand exists at from 70s to 90s. For Prunes
prices
are moderate. Muscatel Raisins still fetch full
rates
At auction 15 butts of old Patras Currants were, how-
ever, sold at 328 to 34s per cwt. 975 box' esof
