MARKET IN TEL L IGEN CE.

(From the London New Price Current, April 22.)
Suden.—There appears to be more disposition on the
part of home dealers to operate and less inclination
has been evinced' by importers to realize; the down-
ward movement has ceased. Full rates have been ob-
tained for both Grocery and Refining sorts of West
ludie,; the purunases on Wednesday and ibursday were

in Crushed for shipping at former rates.

fine 39s to 41s, mid to fine yellow crystallized 39s to 42s

EAST INDIA.—A good demand has been experienced
for Bengal, and previous rates are well supported; there
is also a decrease in supplies of all sorts. The rates paid

has been little passing, and 28; to 30s is the value ac-
cording to quality.

fallen offfor the lower qualities; the rates obtamed for
common and good ord are is id to is id, and for me d turn.
to rather strong blackish leaf is Id to 15 2d. In good
and fine descriptions sales have been upon a limited scale,
and holders are willing to accept is 2id to is Bd. Previous
terms are supported for Green; the amount of business
concluded, however, has been limited; the good and fine
qualities meeting with the least attention. Scented and

main the same as previously. There are several pur-
chasers of the common descriptions of Black and Green
Teas rather under present rates, both for home consump-
tion and shipping.
RlCE.—East India is not to be obtained at a further
