MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 19.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar ge-
nerally refused to submit to any further reduction, but
refiners and grocers manifested little disposition to
transact business, especially in brown and the lower
qualities. The purchases are only 500 hhds, &c., in-
cluding at auction 235 hhds Barbadoes, which went 61
per cwt cheaper, fine yellow selling at 383 6d to 395,
good 37s to 385, middling 353 6d to 36s 61, low 34s to
353, good to fine grainy 41s ed to 433; 34 hhds Grenada
went rather cheaper, middling greyish at 34s per cwt.
With West India the market is still well supplied.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was operated in
with reluctance for home-trade purposes, and prices are
on the decline, Brown lumps selling at 45s to 463 per
cwt. In the market for Crushed Sugar much dulness
exists, and rates have a downward tendency ; the sup-
ply is also getting larger.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with a little attention, and although there was a limited
supply at market, rates declined 6d per cwt. At auction
3,912 bags were disposed of ; good to fine yellow went
at 36; to 375 6d, middling 34; 6d to 35s 6d, low 33; to
349, fair to fine brown 31s to 335, and fine grainy yellow
435 per Mt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was no public
sale of Bengal or Mauritius, and the private operations
were trifling. There are sellers at rather lower rates of
soft yellow and brown kinds.
FOREIGN.—Today Foreign Sugar met with little at-
tion, and previous rates were supported with difficulty.
A cargo of Yellow Havannah was sold at 20; 6d fur
No. 12; one fine at 22s 6d for No. 14. There is no
public sale of any sort.
MOLASSES.—AIthough there are sellers under pre-
vious rates for West India' yet operations are trifling
and confined to 200 puns. Antigua of fair quality at
149 61; St. Vincents and Nevis 12; 6d; and other sorts
123. Bengal and Mauritius have been purchased with
reluctance at I is to lls 6d; Cuba and Porto Rico 13; to
13; 6d per cwt. There is an increasing demand for
Honey, and the rates paid for Jamaica are from 40; to
55; per cwt for low to fine.
COCOA.—There are still several buyers of fine red
Trinidad at 50; to 55; per cwt and few parcels are yet
on offer, other sorts are less in demand, and cannot be
obtained at a reduction, there being no decrease of
supply. At auction 420 bags Trinidad were dispos4d
of; good red at 44; to 483, low mid 41; to 449, grey
38; to 41s; 37 bags Grenada, mid 375, and 39 pkgs St.
Vincent; mid to fine 273 to 439 6d. Stock of West
India is 4,200 bags more than last year ; and deliveries
for home consumption remain I;,rnited. In Foreign here
is yet little }Redness doing, at the same time prices are
not lower, Bahia and Para being sold fur 26; to 27s ; and
Guayaquil at 283 to Si 3 per C?,:t.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon Coffee
was only in limited demand, at the same time previous
terms are generally sustained. At auction 128 casks
and 520 bag; were nearly all disposed of; low mid-
dling and midol ng at 529 to 54s 6d, fine fine ordinary
48.3 to 513, good to fine ordinary 44s to 475, triage
38; to 443, and fair pea-berry 615. Of Mocha 52
bales damaged sold at 483 611 to 589. Native Ceylon of
good ord quality is held for 403 61 to 443, hut there are
few buyers. Some parcels of Rio were disposed of at
363 ed to 37; fm. wood ordinary. It is the general im-
pression that the Dutch Company's sale announced for
next month will go off well, and at rates above those
current here.

TEA.—In Congou transactions have been upon a
limited scale, although there are sellers upon rather
lower terms; low to good ord can be obtained at 9d to
16(1, medium to rather strong blackish leaf 101 d
to 111 d, good to fuse 13 to Is 6d, and better
sorts remain most neglected. There are sellers of
Souchong at a reduction, and few buyers are to be met
with, especially fur good fine. Oolong is in larger
supply, and purchases have been upon a small
scale at is to 13 7d. Of Green Tea large parcels
are on the market, and dealers operating with
reluctance, rather lower terms have been acceded to;
Young Hyson, however, continues in good demand, full
rates are obtained. There is a plentiful supply of
Scented and Pekoe Teas, few buyers are to be met with
and quotations continue to decline, especially for Orange
Pekoe. Of 19,369 pkgs Tea offered at auction during
the past week only 5,450 found buyers.
RICE.—To-dny East India Rice met with little atten-
tion; and at public sale 1,414 bags Bengal of old impor-
tation went at rather lower rates—good white selling
at 9s 6d, good mid 9s to 9s 6d, and mid 8s 6d to 9s per
cwt. Of Sydney Arrowroot 38 cases sold at lid to 2d
per lb.

PIMENTO is held for stiff rates, but there is less de-
mand to-day, and of 696 bgs a very small part only sold
at sid to 6d per lb. for good quality. Of Jamaica
Ginger 56 brls realized 52s to 77s for good to ord mid.
SPIRITS.—Of Demerara Rum several parcels have
been again disposed of at 2s to 2s 3d per•gallon for 30
to 40 per cent over proof, and holders are firm. East
India in good demand at is 3id to ls 4d proof, and there
are not free sellers. Several parcels of Leeward Islands
have been sold at is 5d to is sid, and brown at is 6d
proof. Fine Jamaica is much wanted for home con-
sumption and shipping, and rates remain firm at
3s 2d to 4s 4d for 34 to 38 over proof, there being
only a limited quantity on offer. Other sorts have
been in good demand; low to mid 30 to 33 per cent
over proof at 2s 6d to 2s Bd, good mid to good 32
to 34 over 2s 9d to 30. The stock of Rum is 2,200
puns less than last year, but in prices there is little dif-
ference, and deliveries are smaller. There are ready
sellers of Brandy, and purchases continue upon a small
scale for all purposes. The rates accepted for Cognac
beet brands of the vintage of 1850 are 4s I4d to
4s 6d; 1849 ditto 4s 5d to 4s 7d; 1848 ditto 4s 10d
to 531. -

INDrue.--In East ludia several sales made, holders
are firm and obtain an advance on last quarterly sales'
rates of 2d to 3d per lb. Bengal is wanted, but the
quantity at market is yet scanty.
COCHINEAL—There is an improving demand for home
consumption and shipping, at the same time no advance
has been established. At auction 200 bgs were disposed
of; Honduras, Silvers—low to mid at 2s Ild to 3s 3d,
good to fine as 4d to 3s 8d; black 3s 9d to 4s sd,
common and mid 3s to 3s 8d; Mexican, Silvers 3s to
3a 3d; black 3s 4d to 33 6d; and a small parcel of Tene-
riffe 33 94 to 3s Ild for black.
METALS.—In common Welch Bar Iron a good deal
has been done at 417 s 6d to 4/ 10s; but transactions in
Rails are upon a limited scale, and there are sellers at
4/17s ad to 51 per ton. OF Staffordshire Pig Iron large
parcels have been sold, but upon low terms. In Scotch
there is yet little duing by shippers ur home dealers, and
38s to 40s is the; value as to assortment ; but consump-
tion appears to beimproving; still stocks remain heavy.
Spelter at 141 103 to 141 12s 64, yet few transac-
tions have taken place; and the quantity here far exceeds
that of the preceding season.
I:ALLow.—The market remains firm and there is a
further iacrosse in demand for Russian on the spot for
actual consumption; fine old Yellow Candle realized
for delivery, de-

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 19.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FO!ZBLAiQUE.)

IN BE THOMAS ALLOM.

The bankrupt was a bookseller in Regent-street.
This was the last examination meeting. Mr. H.
Lloyd, for the assignees, did not offer any opposition.
Mr. Lawrence supported.
It appeared from the report of the official assignee
(Mr. Nicholson) that in 1847 the bankrupt had a
capital of 9951., and that his accounts extend over a
period of four years and five months. He now owes
to unsecured creditors 1,4941., and has assets avail-
able for their liquidation amounting to 1,2011. A
portion of these assets consists of " The Polyorama," a
painting of some thousands of feet in length, and which
is being worked by the assignee, and produces a
small weekly profit. An offer of 6001. had been
made for the painting. The bankrupt's domestic ex-
penses during the above period were put down at
1,7491, exclusive of gifts to his 80D, amounting
to 142/.

The bankrupt passed his examination.
IN RE JOHN W. CREED.

The bankrupt, an innkeeper at Chadwell, passed
his examination unopposed, on a statement showing
deb's 2,6811., and property estimated to realize a di-
vidend of about ss. in the pound.
