MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, May 9.)

St.-GAn.— To-day former terms were well supported for all
qualities of West India Sugar, and a fair business was done,
considering the large quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at
public sale ; the purchases are 300, and for the week 2,030
hhds and tres, the market closing firmly.
REFINED.—To-day there were ready buyers of Refined
Sugar for home consumption, and some parties are not dis-
posed to sell brown Lumps at 495. Crushed is dull of sale,
and cheaper, British selling at 27s 6d to 283.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the large public sales of Mau-
ritius Sugar went off briskly at full rates, and in some in-
stances at a small advance ; the quantity offered was 10,535
bags, and the whole sold, fine yellow went at 41s to 425, good
39s 6d to 40s 6d, inferior and mid 3Js to 395, fair to fine
brown 33s to 39s 6d, inferior and very ord 28s to 325, refin-
ing sorts from 36s to 40s, and grainy 383 to 44s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—To-day Bengal Sugar was in brisk demand,
and an advance of 6d took place; at auction 5,311 bags were
sold, fine grainy yellow at 43e to 445, mid to fine white
Benares 41s to 43s 6d, low 40s to 40s 6d, damp 38s to
42s 6d, and fair to fine soft yellow 34s 6d to 40s. Madras
of the lower sorts was in much better demand, and
realized an advance of 6d; at auction 7,171 bags were sold,
soft brown at 28s to 30s yellow 30s 6d to 335, and mid
ditto f:313 6d to 34s 61 df Penang 930 bags sold at stiffer
rates, fine soft yellow ;39s to 39s 6d, and ord white 40s to
40s 6d.

FOREIGN.—Tc-day accounts were received that the Dutch
Company's sale of Java Sugar had goys off well at au ad-
vancl on the March rates of 1% florin ; holders in this
market, in consequence, asked rather higher rates, which
prevented business of moment privately, whilst none was
offered at auction.

DrIOLASSES.—There has been a fair business doing in West
India, and at firm rates, low to fine selling at 14s to 16s 6d,
and the supply is yet on the decrease. Cuba and Porto
Rico are wanted at 15s to 16s. Bengal and Mauritius has
been done at 12s to 13s, and supply scanty.
COCOA.— There has again been little disposition evinced to
operate in Foreign, although stock i 3 4,000 bags less than
last year; the rates asked for Bahia and Para are 28s to
295, and for Guayaquil 31s to 33s per cwt. At auction on
Tuesday 180 bags Trinidad were taken in at 44s to 47s for
low to good red, and low grey at 41s to 425; yesterday 579
bags were only in part disposed of. Fine red 49s to 51s 6d,
low to good 43 to 475, these rates are 2s per cwt under last
week. _ _

COFFEE.—This afternoon holders of Mocha Coffee were
more disposed to realize, and prices gave way 2s to 3a per
cwt for mid sorts ; better kinds, however, nearly sustained the
former value : at auction 92 bales 860 hf-bales were sold, mid
yellow clean garbled went at 67s to 69s 6d, a few lots good and
fine 74s to 80s, damaged 455 to 64s 6d, triage 42s to 60s, black
235, and pea berry 66s 6d. In native Ceylon little was done
privately, and at auction 127 bags only in part sold at 40s 6d
for good ord. For Plantation the market has a dull tone,
and yesterday's rates are supported with difficulty ; of 93
casks 249 bags at auction a part only sold, low mid and
mid at 49s to 535, other sorts 42s to 48s, and triage 39s to
to 435. Of Rio 200 bags were taken in at 42s for good ord.
TEA.—In Congou of all descriptions transactions have been
small, and prices incline downward, there being a larger
quantity on offer common sound is to be obtained at 111/2d
to ls, medium to rather strong blackish leaf Is OlAd to Is Id,
and better kinds is I 1/2d to Is 7d. The rates taken for Oolong
are rather under last week. With Green Tea the mar-
ket has been abundantly supplied, chiefly by the late impor-
tations, and mostly from Shanghae. There has been a re-
luctance on the part of dealers to transact business in all
sorts, and holders having been free, sellers' prices declined id
to id for Gunpowder and Young Hyson, whilst rather lower
terms were acceded to for other kinds. Scented and Pekoe
sorts met with little attention, and prices are drooping.
RICE.—To-day the private operations in East India Rice
were upon a small scale, still rates are not lower. At auction
980 bags Bengal were taken in, at 10s for good white, but a
little broken.

SPICES. —To• day prices declined 2s to 3s per cwt for Afri-
can Ginger; and at auction 1,522 bags were only in part
sold at 30s for mid, damaged 25s 6d to 21s; Cloves are
cheaper, and 134 bags Bourbon went at 6d to 692 d, damaged
53id to 6d. Pimento realised full rates, and 76 bags sold at
4%d to 5d for mid. Of Mace 6 cs were taken in at 2s for
third quality.
SALTPETRE.—The market is well supplied with the
lower qualities, and of the better kinds several parcels are
Rear at hand. At auction 4,079 bags Calcutta were
offered, and barely half sold, fine quality 5 to 3 per
cent refraction went at 28s to 28s 6d, mid and good
di to 8 per cent 25s 6d to 26s 6d, and refraction 104 to 23}
24s 6d to 255. British Refined is cheaper, limited sales
having been made at 28s 6d to 295. Nitrate of Soda has
been operated in with caution, and more desire is evinced to
sell at 14s 3d to 14s 6d per cwt.

COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal met with little at-
tention, and prices further declined id, and in some cases 2d.
At auction z2O bags Honduras were only in part sold at 3s to
3s 8d for very ord and good mid Silvers ; low and mid black
3s 4d to 3s 8d ; and 15 bags good Mexican black 3s 6d per lb.
INDIGO.—The demand centimes good for Bengal, and
the rates paid are fully equal to the last quarterly sales, on
the part of holders there is also confidence. Dry
leaf Madras met with a fair sale at full terms.
In other sorts of East India there has not
been much business doing. The quarterly sales will com-
mence on Tuesday, and the quantity declared is 9,880 chts
Full rates have been obtained for parcels of Spanish sold
privately; and at auction 5 t sros Gautimala realized 28 lld
to 4s Sd for ord Cortes to good Sobres.

SPIRITS.—The limited business concluded in East India
Rum has been at a further decline, is 41/id to is 5d per gal-
lon having been accepted for proof. Leeward Island has
been purchased with caution at is 6d to is 7d proof, and
for arrival sales can be made under these terms. Deme-
rara can be obtained at 2s to 2s 3d for 30 to 40 per
cent, over proof. The shipping orders for Jamaica are
unusually small, and home dealers yet operate with caution.
Thdre are sellers of low and mid quality 30 to 33 per cent.
over proof at 2s 4d to 2s 9d, good mid to good 33 to 35 over
2s 10d to as 4d, fine and superior 33 to 38 over 3s 5d to 4s 2d,
but these rates are not obtainable for large parcels.
The amount of business done in Brandy has been small;
Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1850 at 4s 4d to 4s 6€l,
1849 ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1848 ditto 4s 8d to 4s 10d, 1847
ditto 5s 3d to 5s sd, and low sorts from 2s 6d to 4s per gal-
lon. Geneva remains at is 7d to is Bd, and fine is 9d to 2s
per gallon. In British-made Spirit or Gin there is no
variation.

sold at 851 to 871 ss; a few lots ord and mid 781 to 84/;
