MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

SUGAR.—There has been a steady Sugar Market this
week ; the sales are considerable for the season of the
year, they amount to 2,200 bin's. and trs. for the week ;
the prices are the same as obtained previous to the holy-
days, except good Sugars, which are getting scarce, and
command a small advance. In Refined there is little
change ; there are extensive buyers of fine Crashed at 305.,
but no sellers at that rate; there is also more doing in fine
goods for the home con,umption of the country. This af-
ternoon extensive sales of fine Crashed have been reported
at 30s. 6d. ; the Market is now well cleared of these
Sugars; there is also more demand for melting goods.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.—There are few purchases reported
by private contract. This day's public sale attracted con-
siderable attention, being the first cargo of new Sugars this
season, and of fine quality ; it did not go off with the
briskness anticipated ; it consisted of 3,908 bags, the
good qualities yellow 535. 6d. a 57a., sold higher, the
brown and inferior at rather lower rates, good brown 501.
a 525.

EAST INDIA SUGAR•—The inquiries after East India
Sugar continue considerable, but few sales are yet reported.
FOREIGN SUGARS.--The only sale reported in Foreign
Sugar is 200 barrels mid. to good white Pern ims at 255.
COFFEE.—The Coffee Market continues very firm, tl,e
sales reported are parcels of Ceylon at 565., Brazils at 59
and good ordinary St. Domingo also at the latter price.
Cocoa.—About 1,000 bags Brazil Cocoa have been
sold at a stud' advance, the price for fair quality 21s. 6d.
a 225.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLA NDS. —The rumours of
war with Russia have excited some interest in the Rum
M irket, but for the present have produced no advance in
prices; the Market is, however, Id. per gallonhigher, on account of the great naval preparations,
which are now ascertained to be going on on an exten-
sive scale, and the certainty that Rum will be

been paid. Geneva is without variation. At a late hour
this evening an extensive parcel of fine Jamaica Rum has
been sold, the price has not transpired; further sales of
proof Leewards are reported 2s. and five over 2s. Id.
,TALLOW.-The settlement of the account, in time
bargains in Tallow for all the year took place 31st ult.
and produced great fluctuation ; the prices of yellow
candle Tallow were 43s , 449., 445. 6d., and 445. 9J. ;
when the differences were adjusted the speculators began
to sell extensively for distant delivery at 435. 6d. and 43,,,
the rumours of war with Russia having no effect in
daunting the spirit of speculation, and the idea that a
considerable fall must take place on the arrival of the
expected large supplies to this market. This evening the
oifference between Tallow for cash and for time has
subsided ; the quotation is 435. 3d. for cash, and for all
February 435.

TOBACCO.—There are no sales of Tobacco to report.
PROVISIONS.—Since our last of Tuesday we
cannot notice the least alter,tion in the Butter or Bacon
market, nor in the price of any other article under this head.
SALTPETRE.—The late reduction in the price of Salt-
petre has occasioned a renewed inquiry for the home con-
sumption, and it is expected that the rumours of war will
occasion a revival in the demand on speculation. This

day's public sale 280 bags Alaaras Saltpetre, refraction
38k, sold at SOs.
COCHINEAL AND LAC DYE. —Cochineal has been in
good demand, both for export and home consumption ; the
prices are rather higher. The letters from Vera Cruz of
October 27, state an advance of 10 per cent., on account
of the disturbed state of the country where the Cochineal
is produced. Of Lac Dye the better descriptions are more
inquired after, and are held for higher prices ; the ordinary
qualities are nearly unsaleable.

SPICES.—There is little variation in Spices; the low
qualities of Pepper are inquired after; the demand for
Cinnamon continues ; Nutmegs maintain the late advance,
good quality 7s.

DYES, &c.—Annatto continues scarce, but the demand
is very limited. Argols continue in fair demand and prices
steady. Cream of Tartar is rather higher in price, but the
demand is not quite so brisk as during the previous month.
Galls maintain the late quotations, hut the demand is very
languid, and to press sales would certainly produce higher
rates. Shumac is in more request and prices advancing,
but it is not expected to be much higher. Madder and
Madder Roots are rather more in request, but there does
not appear any disposition to advance prices. Safflower is
quo•ed lower, and no disposition to purchase at the re-
duced rates, as several parcels are expected shortly to ar-
rive. Turmerick is rather more in request, but prices
remain steady. Yellow Berries continue in fair demand,
and prices looking up. Valonia has become exceedingly
dull of sale, and the quotations difficult to obtain, yet hol-
ders are unwilling to take less. Brimstone remains steady
in price, but the demand rather increases. Dyewoods
continue much neglected, as is generally the case at this
season of the year; Logwood and Fustic are both lower;
Saunders is in rather more request for export ; Barwood
and Camwood are scarce ; Nicaragua Wood is rather more
in request for export; so is Brazil Wood also; and prices
rather on the advance.

INDIGO.—The inspection of Indigo of the approaching
sale has commenced ; above 2,000 chests have been exa-
mined; about tivo.thirds consist of good and mid. con-
suming qualities, which sold at the last East India.house
sale at from 4s. 9d. a ss. 6d. per lb. ; there is as yet a
very small quantity suitable for exportation; the total
quantity, it is expected, will be increased to about 4,000
chests. The Market continues very firm ; the late forced
sale, at 3d. under the currency, appears to produce no
effect.

TEA.-There is no alteration in the prices of Tea, but
the market is rather heavy.

CorroN.—Tbe demand on speculation early in the
week was considerable, and the prices were rather higher;
the request since has rather subsided, on account of the
heavy market at Liverpool. The purchases are 1,300
