MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

-----
(From the London New Price Current, March 11.)
SUGAR.—To-day the supply at market waa again
scanty of West India Sugar, and previous rates were
sustained, but there was little desire evinced to do busi-
ness in either grocery and refining kinds, and only 150
hhds, &c., found buyers.
REFINED.—To-clay there was little desire on the part
of home dealers to operate in Refined Sugar; but there is
ue further decline, and fair brown lumps cannot be ob-
tained under 48s per cwt. Crushed Sugar is dull of
sale at former rates.

for full rates; but not much desire was evinced to
operate. r.

Sugar, and privately few purchases were made, although
holders evince a desire to tell at the terms of last week,
and in some cases rather under.
MoLAssas.—Prices are lower for West India, but s,
good business has been concluded, and the sales are 500
puns at 14s for old quality, 200 puns better sort at 158
to 16s 6,1. The stock is now much the same as last year
at this time. Prices for Bengal and Mauritius rule at
12s to 14s, but there are few buyers. Cuba Porto Rico are
held for 14s 6d to 17s; no sales are however reported.

with limited supplies. Other descriptions have not
improved in value ' • but a good business has
been concluded at from is Id to is 9d per lb.
The low kinds of Green have sold freely at a small ad-
vance, whilst better sorts are in impror 'Ed request at the
previous currency, and there is a firm market. In

scale, and some holders are not inc.iir Lod to accept pre-
vious rates.

upon a limited scale; a few parties are disposed to sell
at a decline. Of Cloves 25 bags at au etion went at 6id
