MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

SUGAR.-It appears that both the wholesale Grocers
and Refiners are entirely out of stock, and the purchase
for their immediate supply during the holydays has occa-
sioned more briskness in the demand for Sugar, which
has been met freely by the importers ; the consequence is
that the sales have extended to 3,500 hhds and trs. this
week, and the fine qualities only, which are getting scarce,
have supported the late currency; the inferior descrip-
tions have sold on rather lower terms : a large parcel of
brown Demerara sold at 48s. In the Refined market this
evening there is still a gocd deal of inquiry for the fine
descriptions of crashed, and offers of 30s. Sd. continue to
be made, but the Refiners refuse to sell under 30s. 6d.,
and some of them hold firmly for 319. ; the sales, there-
fore, have been to a more limited extent; the low descrip-
tions continue very scarce ; some parcels refined from
Foreign Sugar in bond, for export, are o❑ show, for
which 20s. a 31s. is demanded for low to fine quality
crashed.

MAURITIUS SUGAR.-There have been no public sales
of Mauritius, and very few parcels have been sold by pri-
vate contract this week.

EAST INDIA SUGAIL.—There is considerable interest
excited as to the Bengal Sugars lately brought to market ;
they are on an entire new principle of manufacture ; they
are of fine colour, and of some considerable strength ; the
yellow sell 21e. a 235. 6d. good to fine ; white, 255. 6d.
a 340. 6d. ; Siam, fine yellow, 225. 6d. ; good strong
white, 255. East India Sugars generally are more in-
quired after for home use, but the actual sales are still
inconsiderable.

FOREIGN SUGAR.—There are no sales of Foreign Sugar
to report this week ; the offers are made for Brown Brazil,
20s. 6d., and for soft mid. yellow Havannah, 245.
COFFEE.—Coffee continues neglected, and the sales this
week are inconsiderable; St. Domingo of good old, quality,
was taken in at public sale at 595. 651., and a small parcel has
sinee been disposed of at 595. ; ord. brown Sumatra sold
at 475. 6d. ; mixed brown Mocha, 71e. a 735. 6d. ; good
fine ord. Jamaica, 84s. a 88s. There were no public or
private sales of Coffee this day.
Rum, BRANDY AHD HOLLANDS.—The demand for Rum
continues considerable ; there is no alteration in the prices.
Brandy is firm. In Geneva there is no variation.
TALLOW.—The excitement in the Tallow trade con-
tinues excessive; various statements are sent to us on the
probable supplies, but they are evidently written by per-
sons deeply interested for the fall of prices—an unnatural
state of trade, that merchants should be interested in the
fall of the prices of their imports. One of these statements
has been sent with a very respectable name attached to it,
vouching for its truth—we, therefore, insert the following
extract :—" On the passage to London, 22,000 casks,
against 3,000 last year : shipments to Great Britain, in
1831, 125,022 casks-1832, 136,024 casks-1833,
151,804 casks."

TALLOW AIARKET THIS EVENING.—It ie now ascer-
t tined that the large fleet sailed from Cronetadt on the
28th ult., with a fair wind, but have not since been heard
of; though the dates from the lower ports are ten days
later; the wind here continues westerly and stormy; the
price of yellow candle to-night is 465. 6,1. Two defaulter,
in the Tallow speculation for the fall of prices have this
week been announced, but they are both inconsiderable.
SALTPETRE.—The late sales are 14Ibs p,r cwt. refrac•
tion, 325. 6d. and 1,964 bags at public sale, 9-4 refraction,
