MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of March 6.)
Sucitn.—To-day West India Sugar was not to be obtained
upon lower terms, but there was only a limited demand for
grocery or refining descriptions.
REFINED.-To-day many parcels of Refined Sugar were
taken by the borne trade. Bonded Crushed Sugar is still at-
tracting attention, and is not to be purchased for forward de-
livery under 35s 6d per cwt for first quality.
MAtinrrius.—This afternoon 6,410 bags were offered at
public sale; one parcel of 4,699 bags being sulphury, only in
part sold at rather easier rates. 4,800 bags will be offered at
auction.

EAST INDIA.—The stock is less than it was in 1845 at this
period by 115,178 bags, &c. This afternoon white Bengal
met with little attention, and four parcels offered at public
sale, amounting to 3,764 bags, went at a decline on former
rates of 6d per cwt, but the chief part sold.
COCOA.—The demand has increased for British Plantation,
and prices have slightly improved for good descriptions,
whilst the lower kinds fully sustain the previous value.
FOREIGN.—To-day at public sale 218 boxes of white Ha-
vannah were only in part sold at a reduction on former rates
of 6d to to is per cwt.
COFFEL—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with little at-
tention, but holders were firm, and 904 bags at auction were
only in part sold at the former value.
TEA.—Congou has been purchased with caution this week,
but holders are not inclined to reduce their prices. Pouchong,
however, has been disposed of to a fair extent at 4d to 6d for
low and middling, and at 7d to 10d for pod to fine. Twankay
is wanted. Hyson has met with less attention, but lower
rates are not accepted. For imperial and Gunpowder the
demand has been limited, but previous rates are sustained.
RICE.—To-day at public sale 864 bags of Java Rice were
sold at rather lower rates ; good white went at 17s 6d,
middling 16s to 17s, low rather oroken, and dusty 14s to 15s
per cwt. Of Bengal 1,400 pockets and 2,000 bags are de-
clared for sale.

SAGO.--The demand was brisker, but better prices are not
obtainable. In Sago Flour there has been little business
transacted by private contract. For Arrowsmith there are
few buy ere, and 80 pkgs at auction only in part sold at 10id
to 11dd for Bermuda.

SPICES.—To-day the market was well supplied with Cassia
Lignes ; the quantity offered at public sale amou,iting to
2,237 chests, the principal portion found purchasers in con-
s quence of merchants submitting to a decline on former
t ti s of Is to 2s per lb.
Sputrrs.—There has been an improvement in the demand
for the better qualities of Jamaica Rum, and the rates given
have been fully equal to those previously current, but the
low and middling kinds have been sparingly dealt in,
still lower prices not accepted. Calcutta is not offered upon
lower terms, but the business done but trifling. There has been
little desire shown to purchase Leewards, at rather lower rates.
Demerara of strong quality has been rather more in demand.
but the inferior sorts are little wanted. The stock of Brandy
has been further increased, and the business transacted has
been limited for all purposes. Geneva has been less in re-
quest for exportation, and prices are not so firm. The value
of British Corn Spirits is still 103 6d per gallon nett cash,
and Gin is held for Ss 10d for 22 per cent. under proof, and
17 under 9s 4d per gallon ; but the demand has been limited.

TALLow.—Holders of Russian evince firmness, and have
obtained rather above previous rates; there has been a fair
business transacted on the spot. The business done for de-
very in the last three modths of the year has beea upon a
more extended scale. Home made has declined an value.
Other kinds of 'Tallow tre less freely pressed for sale, and
upon former terms several parcels have been taken by pri-
vate contract.
