MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Oct. 28.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a reluctance to operate in
West India Sugar for all purposes; and in some cases
the rates taken were rather under those of Friday, for
both Grocery and Refining sorts. The purchases are
only 450 hhds, &c., including at auction 198 hhds 33
tierces Barbadoes, which went off quietly, but previous
valuations were generally sustained; fine yellow realised
3Ss 6cl to 39s 6d; good mid to good 36s to 38s, low to
mid 33s to 355, and mid to fine grainy yellow 36s to 395

per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was operated in
with reluctance for home consumption, brown lumps can
be obtained at 445; and fair Tittlers at 44s 6d to 455 per
cwt. In Crushed Sugar a good business is doing at

previous rates.
AIAITRITIIIS.—To-day at public sale 165 bags Trini-
dad Cocoa were sold; good to fine red 44s to 475, low to
middling 38s to 423, and damaged 35s to 44s 6d. Of
Bahia, 30 bags were taken in at 29s for sound.
EAST INDIA.—Thin afternoon Bengal Sugar met with
little attention, and previous rates were barely sustained.
Of 3,300 bags at auction barely half sold; fine white
Benares went at 403 6d to 425, low to good 35s 6d to
40s, damp acd washed 35s to 41s 6d, low to mid like

At auction 163 hhds and 143 brls Porto Rico all taken
in at 383 to 39s for good and fine yellow.
MOLASSEEL-The demand is much better for West
India. Privately 600 puns have been sold; Dominica
at 12s, Barbadoes and Antigua 12s 65 to 13a, Demerara
and St. Lucia lls to lie 65. Bengal and Mauritius are
wanted at I Is, but the quantity unsold is small, and few
parcels are expected. Cuba and Porto Rica sells more
freely at 13s to 13s 6d, and a less amount is on offer.
The demand for Molasses has been chiefly for exporta-
tion, and prices are 2s to 3i lower than at this time last
season; imports remain 1,53, and likely so to continue.
West India Honey is still wanted at from 363 to 58s for
low to fine. Tamarinds 8s to 14s for Etst, and 245 to
34s for West India.

573 to 665, good mid 54s to 565, mid and low

triage 39s to 443, low ditto 36s to 38s, and

remains inactive, and at auction the sound of 920 bags
