MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

There are two propositions now in agitation of the
highest importance to the trade of England ; they are the
alterations in the tariffs of France and America. The
former has been submitted to the Chambers, and has been
published in London. The most important is the article
of Sugar. It is proposed to reduce the bounty on refined
exported to nearly the proportionate rate paid on the im-
port of the raw Sugars. Lately the bounty has been PO
high as to be the occasion of the loss of a million sterling
to the French finances, and, in consequence, has seriously
affected the English refineries, France having supplied
nearly all the ports of the Mediterranean with refined
goods. By the new arrangement this trade is likely to
he resumed by England. The duty on English manufac-
tures imported into the United States it is expected will
be reduced one-half. This will, no doubt, occasion great
briskness in the manufacturing districts.

SUGAR.—The Sugar Market was very heavy last week;
the estimated sales of raw Sugars were only 1,100 Mids.
and trs., and the prices were 6d. to is. per cwt. lower
where sales were effected, but a large proportion of the
holders refused to sell et any reduction. The stock of
West India Sugar is now 26,530 hhds. and trs., which is
6,482 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is
61,7'71 bees, being 7,975 less than last year. The de-
livery of West India Sugar is 1,873 hhds. and trs. , being
1,117 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is
4,312 bags, being 226 less than the corresponding week
of 1832. The Sugar Marker is again heavy ; the pur-
chases to-day are estimated about 500 hhds. and trs. The
Market is fully is. per cwt. lower than on this day week.
In the Refined Market last week the purchases were quite
inconsiderable; the holders were asking 61e. for low
Lumps, and there are no sellers under that rate, 60s. being
repeatedly refused, but the Market has since beeome ex-
ceedingly heavy, and purchases, it is stated, may now be
made a shade lower ; for the qualities entitled to the double
bounty 30s. and 30s. 6.1., and inferior parcels reported
under those prices. This afternoon the Market is still
dull ; there is no alteration in prices, brown Lumps no-
minally 61s.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—The only purchases reported are
parcels of Siam Sugar at former priers, 225. a 24e.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.---Ahout 5,600 bags Mauritius

making, the decline Is. a Is. 6d. since this day week.
Folmar' ~SUGAR.—There.,SUGAR.—There are no sales of Foreign Sugar
to report; the inquiries after yellow Havannah at 255.
are continued, but there are no transactions worth men-
tioning. There is no return made of the Average Price
of Su tar this week.
CoFisx.—The Coffee Market was in a singular situa-
tion last week. When the buyers wanted the descriptions
suitable for the home consumption they were obliged to
give an advance of le. to 25., and where sales are forced

a similar reduction must he submitted to before sales could
'.e effected. At the advance we have stated considerable'
uurchas-s were reported by private contract last week, and
4mall parcels of Ceylon at 535. 6d. and 545. ; for Brasil
52,. was offered lir ordinary quality, and reused ; some
St. Domingo sold 555. a 565. 6d. ; Mocha sold rather
i,,wer. In the other descriptions there are no sales re•
iorted, an the market generally is heavy. There were
fsvo small public sales this forenoon, 181 casks 4 bags Bri-
tish Plantation. The quantity is too trivial to be given as
A criterion of market prices. Both Jamaica and Berbiee.
vent off at full prices, in some cases rather higher ; good
,rd. Jamaica 725. a 735.

Rum, BRANDY, AND Hot.Latins.—There are more in-
quirks after Rum, both for lunaicas for home consump-
tion and Leeway is for export. FT proofs newly landed
Is. 101 d. is asked, but the old landed and inferior may be
mrchtsed Id. per gallon lower. There are few sales
effected, but the market is more firm. In Brandy or Ge...
neva there is no alteration.

lately brought forward have gone off heavily, the prices
are a shade lower, and a considerable proportion taken in
