MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Lanckm New Price Current of November 17.)
SUGA.a.—To -day there was less desire evinced to operate
in bright grocery and strong refined descriptions of West
India Sugar, but the supply at market being small, mer-
chants were for the most part enabled to obtain prices equal
to those of Friday.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was in good request for
home consumption, and there were not generally sellers of
low brown lumps at G2s to 62s 6(1, brown grocery 635, and
standard lumps at 64s per cwt. The market has decidedly an
improving appearance.
MoLASsEs.—There are sellers of all descriptions of West
India upon further reduced terms; still the business trans-
acted has been extremely limited at 21s to 255. Bengal
Treacle met with less attention, and previous rates are not

obtainable.
MAIMITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 4,393 bags, and
consisted of strong grainy kinds, but there was not much
desire to operate, and merchants were compelled to reduce
their prices is per cwt. to dispose of the whole.
EAST Irtroa.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal
sugar, amounting to 2,093 bags, were offered at public sale ;
the chief part consisted of strong yellow sorts like Mauritius,
and was taken in at stiff rates.
FOREIGW.-• Holders of Foreign Sugar still have confidence,
and supply the market sparingly, whilst the deliveries are
again larger than the arrivals. The home trade have mani•
fested little desire to purchase the brown or inferior qualities,
and they are obtainable rather under previous rates. There
has been little passing privately in any description for ex-
portation or refining under bond, but holders are firm, and
insist upon fully previous rates ; few parcels are on offer. At
public sale 625 hhds and 210 brls of Porto Rico were taken
in rather above the value.
COFFEE.--To-day there was not much desire manifested to
operate in Foreign Coffee. At auction 434 casks 73 bags
Cuba were only in part sold at a fall on former rates of 2s
to 4s—good middling coloury went at 50s to 58s 6d,middling
43s to 475, low middling 40s 6d to 425, fine and fine fine or-
dinary pale 35s to 41s 6d, good ordinary 32s to 33s 6d, ordi-
ordinary 305 to 31s, sea damaged 30s to 35s 6d, pea berry
sound 39s Gd to 61s ; 172 bags Costa Rica only partly sold—
good ordinary foxey 33s to 34s ; 79 casks Porto Rico taken
in—fine ordinary coloury 50s; 474 bags La Guayra only in
part sold—good middling coloury brown 555, brown or-
dinary 33s Gd to 335, good ordinary 35s to 38s Gd, fine
ordinary 40s to 43s Gd, pea berry 40s, sea damaged 21s to,
3ls 6d; 225 bags St. Domingo taken in at 33s for fine ordi-
nary coloury mixed, Ceylon was only in limited demand by
private treaty, and 516 bags at auctth ion were
full t
alue, aken in at
38s for good ordinary pale, which is v but a
few lots of Plantation sold at 69s for good middling
coloury, Vs to 35s for triage, and black 10s.; 426 bags East
India sold at 24s 6d to 26s for good and fine Padang, and 21s
to 23s for sea damaged; 34 casks Jamaica sold at 24s to
40s 6d, fine fine ordinary 51s 6d; 9 bags Demerara at Ils for i
black ; 75 bales Mocha—good middling long bean 62s 6d, I
triage 28s to 30s, damaged 24s to 525, pea berry 50s 6d.
TEA.—Vhe market has still an improving appearance for
all descriplions, and there is a less quantity on offer. The
low prices•—the enormous consumption--the prospect of a
reduction being made in the duty, and the heavy,losses•mer-
chants are vet sustaining upon the importation, cause the
trade to be Ofopinion that they cannot act unwisely in getting
well supplied, and these circumstances have induced capital-
ists to make large investments. Prices are lower than they
were at this time in 1845 by ld to 4d for Congou, 4d to 6d
for Twank ay, 2d to 6d for Hyson, and 4d to Bel for Imperial
and Gunpowder.
Srscr.s.-:-Prices are still rising for Nutmegs, the demand
having been active by private contract, chiefly for home con-
sump,4ion. The better qualities'of Cloves met with more
attention, Ire no improvement in prices can be quoted. Mace
has been in good demand, and previous improved rates are
fully supported. Black Pepper has met with little atten-
tion privately, notwithstanding the low rates that exist.
For white previous rates are asked, but little has been done.
