MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, March 25.)
SucAtt.—To-day Wet India Sugar was offered upon
rather lowrr terms, still the deman was small for all

sorts by private treaty. The purchases amounted only
to 410 hhds, &c, including at auction 120 hhds crystalized
Demerara, which sold is per cwt cheaper, and went at
40s 6d to 42s 6d for mid and good yellow. There was
a further increase in supply of West India.
DEFINED.—To-day the demand was much better for
Refined Sugar from dealers, and prices are firm, Brown
lumps at 48s to 48s 6d per cwt. In crushed Sugar there
is yet little doing, with free sellers at former rates.
MADDITIIIS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was
dealt in with caution, and rather lower rates were ac-
ceded to; at auction 4,134 bags were chiefly sold, mid to
fine brown 33s 6d to 365, fair 32s to 335, grey 35s to 4th,
mid and good mid grainy 38s to 39s 63, mid to fine yel-
low at 37s 6d to 40s 63, inferior 36s to 375.
EAST INDIA..—This afternoon Madras Sugar met with
little notice, and of 1,439 bags at auction a part only sold
at easier rates; mid and good grocery went at 37s 6d to
41s, and low brown was nearly all taken in at 28s per
cwt; the public sales of 1,893 bags Bengal went off quietly
at barely former rates, mid and good white Benares 40s
6d, low dingy 3Ss 6d to 395, damp 31s to 425.
FOREIGN.—Today there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and privately only a cargo of brown Bahia was
sold at 20s per cwt.
MOLASSES.—There has been little business concluded
and a desire is 'evinced to sell, low to tine West India at
14s to 16s 6d, Cubs and Porto Rico 14s to 14s 6d, Ben-
gal and Mauritius 12s to 13s per cwt.
COCOA.—British Plantation is not offered under for-
mer rates, and the supply at market is small. The value
of red Trinidad is 51s to 555, grey 45s to 503, and Gre-
nada 42s to 48s. In Foreign the sales made have been
upon a small scale, Bahia and Para at 29s to 30s, and
Guayaquil at 31s 6d to 325.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there were few buyers of
Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and privately some parcels
were offered rather under previous rates. At auction
205 bags were taken in at 525 for fine fine ord.
The market for native Ceylon has a dull aspect
and 44s to 44s 6d is the value of good ord. Other sorts
of Coffee met with little attention for home use or ex-
port, and prices declined 2s per cwt at a public sale of
1,513 bags Costa Rica; fine ord 46s to 475 ficl, good ord
44a to 455, one lot common 40s; damaged 31s to 443
per cwt.
TEA.—Public sales are declared for next Tuesday.
The middling and fine qualities of Congou are operated
in with caution, and holders appear disposed to sell at
from is id to is 9d, but common has been in good de-
mand at Hid to Is, medium is Old to Is oid, and the
market looks firm. For good and fine sorts of Green
the market has a quiet appearance, with sellers rather
under previous rates, and there is a more abundant sup-
ply, but in ord sorts a good deal bas been done at late
terms; Canton Gunpowder and Young ilyson have been

ost in demand. Scented and rekOe Teas have met
with little attention, and can easily be obtained at former
rates.

RICE.—In consequence of a further reduction having
been acceded to for white Bengal, a good business has been
concluded, and the purchases are 7,000 bags, including
2,853 bags at auction. The value of good and fine is now
93 Gd to I Is, mid and good mid 8s 9d to 93 3d, and low 8s
to 8s Gd. Prices have ceased to decline for Madras, and
there is an improved demand, 7s to 8s 6d have been paid
for several parcels of picky. In cargo or pearl barley
there is yet little doing, and is to 83 is the value. In
pa!na, wiles have been to a limited extent atfrom 103 6d to
17s fpr low to fine, town dressed Carolina 20a to 28s,
and American 163 6d to 17s 6d. Sago is wanted,
• anti rates tend upwards. At auction 525 boxes
