MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London .New Price Current, Aug. 1.)
SUGAR.—To-day the demand was not better for West
India Sugar, still holders refused to sell grocery or re-
fining qualities qualities under former rates. The pur-
chases are 541, making for the week 2,303 hhds, &c.
The market for both Colonial and Foreign Sugar, on the
whole, closes with a firmer appearance.
REFINED.—For home trade goods there is still a firm
market, with a fair business doing; low to fine grocery
Lumps realise from 46s to 49s per cwt. Crushed Sugar
for exportation is still operated in with much caution,
and rates are expected to rule lower.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon holders of Mauritius
Sugar were firmer, and at public sale 3,469 bags were
nearly all taken in rather above the value, good to fine
yellow at 37s t 9 38s 6d, low to good mid 34s to 365)
good to fine brown 31s 6d to 33s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon full rates were obtained
for Bengal ugur, and there was rather more demand
for the better qualities. At public sale 1,005 bags sold
at 38s 6d to 41s for ord and good white Benares, mid
grainy yellow 39s to 40s 6d. There was no public sale
of Madras, but dry and grainy kinds are rather more in
demand privately at previous terms.
FOREIGN.—To-d ay there was little business done pri-
vately in Foreign Sugar, still duty paid parcels or float-
ing cargoes cannot be obtained under previous terms.
None of any sort was offered at auction. There are
several buyers at a small decline.
MoLassEe•—A fair amount of business has been con-
cluded this wech
and holders have refused to bell at
417 further 're4l4oti9nii the rates obtained for Antigua

have been 15s to 15s 6d, other sorts of West India 128
6d to 14s 6d; Porto Rico and Cuba 138 6d to 14s;
Bengal and Mauritius Ils 6d to 12s per cwt. Honey is
offered rather wider previous rates.
COCOA.—Holders of British Plantation are unable to
obtain any advance, the stock being 4,400 bags
more than last year, and arrivals near at hand ; a fair
business has, however, been concluded privately, low to
mid red Trinidad at 40s to 435, good to fine 44s to 503,
grey from 36s to 403, and Grenada 33s to 40s; the con-
sumption appears to be on the increase. There are yet
few buyers of Foreign; Bahia and Para can be ob-
tained at 25s to 275, and Guayaquil 293 to 30s per cwt;
at auction 200 bgs Para were taken in above the value:
the chief portion of the stock of Cocoa here consists of
inferior quality.
COFFEE.—This afternoon the demand for Coffee was
brisk both fur home consumption and exportation. The
public sales went at stiff rates; 5,146 bags Costa Rica,
good to fine ord at 43s 6d to 455, fine fine ord 46s to 51s,
superior bold colory 60s 6d to 655, and damaged 41s to
455; 37 casks 57 bags Plantation Ceylon, good mid and
good 55s 6d to 60s, and triage 43s to 43s 6d, several pur-
chases were made in Native Ceylon, and rates closed
firmly at 383 to 393 according to quality.
TEA.—There has been little • desire to operate in Con-
gou this week, and merchants are disposed to sell; low
to good ord at 10d to lqd, medium to rather strong
blackish leaf I Id to Is, and good to fine kinds is Oid to
Is 7d; the supply is also on the increase, and
fine qualities are least wanted. In better sorts of
Green sales have been small, and the rates accepted
are rather under those current in the previous week, but
medium and low kinds have been in good demand at pre-
vious terms, Young Hyson and Canton Gunpowder
being most in request. In Oolong several purchases
have been made at is to is 7d, but at these terms mer-
chants are disposed to sell, on account of an increasing
supply. Scented and Pekoe sorts are offered at moderate
terms.

RICE.—To• day Rice met with little attention, and of
5,052 bags Madras, at auction, not above half sold at
steady rates; ord and good Bengal grain went at 88 to 9s,
mid and good pinkey 7s 6d to Bs, and damaged 6s to Ss
per cwt. Of Sago Flour the sound of 2,063 bags was
nearly all taken in at 14s 6d to 15e, but damaged sold at
6s to 12s 6d. Of Sago 33 bags sold at 18s for fair pearl.
SincEs.—Today at public sale 267 cs Cochin Ginger
sold at low rates, and went at 44s to 48 6d for mid. Of
damaged Afrioan 14 tags went at 235, and 12 ceka Nut-
megs, fine limed 2s Bd, low and mid is 4d to 2s.

SPIRITS.—There has been a good demand for East
India Rum, and rates are firm at is 3d to is 4d per
gallon proof; the supply is also moderate. Orders have
increased for Leeward Island, and the parcels sold were
at is 5d to is 6d proof. In Demerara several transac-
tions have taken piace at is Id to 2s 2d for 28 to 40 over
proof; and merchants are less disposed to press
sales. There is an increased demand for
Jamaica, both for borne consumption and ship-
ping. The rates paid fdr fine and superior are
3o 2d to 4s 4d for 35 to 38 per cent over proof: good
mid to good 32 to 35 over 2s 8d to 3s, and inferior 30 to
33 over proof 2s 3d to 2e 7d. The demand for Brandy
is better thaa it was last week ; there is, how-
ever, little prospect of rates ad►ancing stock
being large. Cogniac best Brands of the Vintage of
1850 can be obtained at is 4d to 4s 6d, 1849 ditto 4s 6d
to 4,3 Bd, 1848 ditto 4s 11d to 59 Id, older 5s 4d to 7s;
low to mid 2s 6d to 3s 6d; Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 3d.

been limited at 96 5d to 9s Gd; and Gin for exportation
at 2s 61. Geneva is is 7d to is Bd, and fine is 9d to 2s.
INotoo.—Purchases to a fair extent have been made
in East India for home consumption this week, and ex-
port orders are also on the increase; holders display
firmness, and obtain a small advance on late sale rates.
Spanish met with increased attention, and realised an
advance of 2d per lb. At auctin 106 serous Guatimala
were sold at is 9d to 3s 4d for Cortes; and at 3s 3d to
4s Gd for Sobres. There is every prospect of a further in-
crease taking place in the demand forlndigo for all purposes
COCHINEAL.—To-day the publio sales of Cochineal
went at rather lower, but 236 bags all sold; Honduras
silvers, ord and mid 23 I Id to 39 Id, good and fine blank
4s to 4s 6d; Mexican silvers, mid and good 3s to 3s 3d,
black 3s 5d to 4s 6d.
SALTPETRE.—There has been no public sale, and the

tend downwards, and rule at 25s to 28s 6d for low to
fine Calcutta. British Refined met with little attention,
and there are sellers at 293 to 29s 6d. In Nitrate of
Soda little has been done, and there are sellers at 14s.

A clergyman, whilst passing through a shady lane,
in the neighbourhood of Stroud, Gloucestershire, on Thurs-
day last, was suddenly attacked by a swarm of wasps. He
defended his face as well as he could, but at last bad fairly to
run for it, and escaped into a house near, but not before re-
ceiving above twenty stings—on both ears, the back of his
neck, and the crown of his head, his hat having fallen off
during the battle. Had there not been a house at hand he
might have lost his life, his foes having clustered on him so
thickly. Fortunately, the pain was removed by a timely
application of cil and honey.--Bath Chronicle.
Ald‘erman Farebrother being upon the rota as
magistrate at Guildhall on Saturday next, will not be able to
avail himself of the invitation to thefetes to be given at Paris.
