MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the" London New Price Current" of yesterday.)

SUGAR.--The sugar Market has been very heavy all
the week, and some parcels taken upon speculation some
time ago have been re-sold at low prices, and a consider-
able loss has add d to the gloomy state of the trade ; the
holders in many instances are, however, still sanguine of
high prices, and have withdrawn their Sugars from pre-
sent sale ; the purchases for the week are estimated at
2 500 blade. and trs. at prices a shade lower than the
previous currency. The refiners do not yet purchase,
except on the most confined scale, as the price of Raw,
compared with the Refined, still leaves a loss to the ma.
nufacturer. This afternoon West India Sugar may be
stated at a further reduction of Is. per cwt., Brown
545. a 555., but the Market is more firm, on account of
the speculators tieing now out of the Market, and the
buyers evincing a greater disposition to purchase. The
Refined Market remains in a completely nominal state;
the shippers offer 635. for low Lumps, and the holders
ask 675. ; fine Crashed is 345. 6d. a 355. ; small Lumps
of fair quality have been so'd at 68s. to Melters. This
afternoon Refined Sugars continue in very limited demand,
and prices are again rather lower, 345. per cwt. having in
some instances been accepted for small parcels of the fine
descriptions of Crashed for exportation ; for the home
trade there is scarcely anything doing.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.-The sales of Mauritius this week
are quite inconsiderable; they have sold much about the
usual proportion with West India Sugars, and at the re-
duction of Is. 6,1. a 29., which we stated on Friday last.
EANT INDIA SUGAR.-There are no purchases of East
India Sugar to report. This afternoon it is reported
some sales of Siam Sugars have taken place at nearly
former prices ; and 1,000 bags Manilla, mid. greyish
vellow 21s. 6d. and 255.
FOREIGN SUGAR.-There are no inquiries whatever
for Foreign Sugar, except from Refiners, who have
evinced some disposition to buy Brazil Sugars at low
prices, a parcel of good brown is stated to have been thus
disposed of at 225. The only public sale this day in
Foreign Sugar has been 10 chests 46 bags Bahia, all
damaged, and of brown to ordinary grey, for which from
21s. 6d. to 235. were given.
COFFEE.-The favourable accounts of the large sales of
Coffee in Holland has had a favourable effect of Foreign
and East India Coffee; the purchases this week are chiefly
by private contract : 2,000 bags Havannah sold 665. 6d.
a 695. ; good to fine ordinary Brazil 61s. to 655., fine
ordinary dingy at 665. ; good mid. Cuba 85s. 6d. ; 600
bags good brown Sumatra 565. 6d. ; fine ord. Samarang
595. 6d. ; good ord. Batavia 625. 6d. a 635. In Briti•h
Plantation descriptions there is little alteration: we men-
tioned the fall of the finer descriptions of Jamaica 3s. a 4s.

Plantation ; good ord. Jamaica 88s., fine ord. 91s. 6d. to
935. There were no public sales of Coffee this day, and
the market is not so brisk as early in the week; the ad-
vance in Foreign and East India Coffee of 6d. a Is. per
cwt. is maintained ; the estimated sales by private contract
are stated at 8,000 bags, of which 3,500 bags were Brazil,
ord. to fine ord. 631. a 665. ; and 2,000 bags ord. to good
ord. Sumatra 555. 6d. a 575. ; Ceylon Coffee did not
participate in the advance we have stated ; it is Is. lower
on account of the decline in British Plantation Coffee.
At a late hour this afternoon large parcels of St. Domingo
and Brazil were offered at 665.
Cocoa.-Several parcels of Cocoa have been offered at

RUM, BRANDY, AND Hof.LANDs.-The Ruin Market
continues in a depressed state, and some parcels have been
forced off privately at a reduction of Id. to 2d. per gallon,
Leewards seven over at 2s. 41., Jamaica 29 over at
3s. lld ; there are, however, ta7 sellers at the reduction.
la Brandy or Geneva there is little variation.
IRISH PROVISIONS-Since Monday there have been
arrivals of 3,013 casks of Foreign Rutter, of Irish 7,570
firkins, and of Bacon 572 bales. The deliveries from the
wharfs this week of both Butter and Bacon will be pretty
considerable. Fine Friesland Butter at the quay has
further improved in value, we quote the price this day
925. per cwt. ; and for Irish we must also note an im-
provement upon some descriptions, particularly Coik and
Limerick, for which 80s. is demanded by some holders,
but over 795. cannot be fairly quoted as obtainable, and
that price only from necessitous buyers ; lor all other
kinds of Irish Butter there is scarcely any alteration to be
noticed upon Tuesday's quotations, but the market cer-
