MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.)
The uncertainty as to the Government measures relative to
the East and West India questions continues to paralyze all
trade, the stagnation of which is excessive.
SUGAR.—The Sugar Market has been apparently heavy all
the week, and the prices are again a shade lower; Berbice
and Demerara 465., and Jamaica 475. 6d.: the late reduction in
price has improved the demand ; the estimated sales this week
are 3,000 hhds. and trcs. In the refined Market there has
been little alteration ; some sales of Lumps are reported at 61s.
and 61s. 6d., but they are inconsiderable; Crashed is heavy.
There is very little alteration to notice this afternoon, the de-
mand continuing du I fur all descriptions ; the qualities entitled
to the bounty on double.refined, however, are quoted 6d. lower,
there being a few sellers at that price.
EAST INDIA SUGA RS.—There are still several parcels of
East India offering at public sale; the Slams, about 'l,OOO bags,
sold at former prices, low to good white 21s a 225. fxl., brown a
little washed I6s. 6d. and 17s. ; Manilla fair to good ye.low soft
20s. a 21s. ; brown Java washed 16s. 6(1. a 17s. ; all about previous
prices.

MAURITIUS SUGARS.—There have been no public sales
of Mauritius Sugar since Friday last till this forenoon, when
5,037 bags Mauritius were brought forward ; the whole sold with
much briskness, and generally at higher prices, particularly the
brown descriptions 475. a 498.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—Foreign Sugars continue in a very
depressed state; above 200 boxes white Havannah have been
sold at the reduction we stated on Friday last; white 245. a 27s
according to quality ; some mid, white Pernams strong 23s a
245. 6d. in barrels; Bahia low soft brown to good brown
18s. a 20s.

COFFEE—The Coffee Market this week has been very
steady for all Foreign and East India descriptions, and we think
the demand for Jamaica and other British Plantation quali.
ties for the home consumption has increased considerably,
owing, no doubt, to the small supply, the short crop, and the
extensive demand for the home trade.—The sales of Foreign
are, St. Domingo, ord. at Ms. 6d.; Havannah, good ord. at 51s.
6d. fine ord. to fine fine ord. at public sale and by private con-
tract 535. 6d. a 565. 6d. ; good ord. Porto Rico Ms. 6,1. fine ord.
575. Of East India some ord. brown Sumatra with black• ber-
ries sold 475, British Plantation goes off with some briskness,
ord. Jamaica 725. a 745., good ord. 755. 6d. a 785., fine ord. 80s. a
345. There were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon, and no
private contracts are reported.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The advance on
the price of Rum, which was stated in our last publication, had
the effect of checking the demand; the purchases since re.
ported are inconsiderable, but the improvement is sustained.
fhe Government contract for 75,000 gallons of Rum was taken
yesterday,. 5 under, between Is. 9d. and Is. 10d. ; the exact
price, it is stated, is about Is. 9 lAd. or Is. 9d. 3.16; but of
this there is no certainty. In Brandy or Geneva there is little
alteration.

c s skhs of foreign Butter, 660 firks. of Irish,ad PROVISIONS.—Since
and 5,200 bales of Bacon. The Provision Market generally
continues in the same languid state as so frequently represented
to, be in of late, with no appearance of improvement; on the
contrary, Butter and Bacon in particular can both be purchased
rather under our last quoted prices, and it may be considered
nominally the same for all other articles under this head.
TEA.—There is a considerable demand for Boheas, at %d.
per lb. premium; those in Congou packages have been sold at
