MARKET IN TEL LIGEN CE.
(From the Londex New Price Current, Sept. 5.)
SLIGAX.—To-day the West India Sugar market was
firm, and at previous rates the home trade demand was
good and general. The purchases were 675 hhds, &c.,
including at auction 63 hhds Demerara, which sold at
335 to 34s for ord and mid yellow, good to flue brown
324 to32s 63, 19 hhds 8 trcs Jamaica, brown 31s to
32s 6d, mid yellow 35s 6d, 53 trcs and 12 brls Trinidad,
low and mid yellow 33s to 345, good to fine brown 32s
to 32s 6d, and 32 pkgs Barbadoes ; brown 32s 6d to
335. and low mid yellow 31s 6d to 34s 6d.
REFINED.—To-day there was a good business con-
cluded in Refined Sugar by home dealers, but there ap-
peared to be a desire to sell brown lumps at 44s 63 to
455, common tittlers 45s to 45s 6d per cwt. The market
for Crushed has a dull aspect.
Msurtrrlus.—This afternoon the demand was deci-
dedly better for Mauritius Sugar, the parcel offered at
auction was large, and amounted to 11,120 bags, still all
sold and full rates were obtained, brown went at 29s to
32s 6d, low yellow 33s to 33s 6d, mid 34s to 355, better
sorts 35s 6d to 375, fine 37s 6d to 395; and Refining
sorts 32s to 38s. _ _

EMIT INDIA..—This afternoon of Bengal Sugar 3,000
bags were offered at auction, and about half was with-
drawn, the remainder selling at firm prices; mid and
good mid grainy yellow went at 40s to 41s 6d; good
white Benares 40s to 41s 6d; soft yellow 33s to 35s 6d;
and brown ditto 28s. Of Madras 6,565 bags mostly
sold at and after the sale at full rates; grainy brown
went at 33s to 34s 6d, mid to fine grocery 54s 6d to
395, and good soft yellow 325.
FOREIGN.—To-day full rates were demanded for
Foreign Sugar, but the private operations were upon a
small scale, and none was offered at auction; at rather
lower terms there appears to be several buyers.
MOLASSEB.—OnIy a small business has been effected
in West India, notwithstanding the low prices paid, and
only 150 puns changed hands at 14s to 15s for Antigua,
and 12s to 13s 6d for other kinds. Bengal and Mauri-
tius are dull of sale, and cannot be quoted above Ils 6d.
In Porto Rico and Cuba we have no sales to report, and
13s to 13s 6d is the nearest value. Few samples of West
India Honey are on show, but there are several inquiries
made for the article from 383 to 58s for low to fine.

COFFEE.—To-day prices were firm for Native Ceylon
Coffee, still the private operations were limited at 39s to
40s for good, and none was offered at auction. Plantation
is not to be obtained at a further decline but the market
has a quiet aspect. At auction 50 barrels and 17 bags were
sold; fine went at 63s 61 to 70s; mid and good 53s to
58s 6d; other sorts 44s 6d to 49s 6d, and pea berry 62s
9d. Of Mysore 73 brls and 65 bags sold at fair rates;
mid and low mid 50s to 565; good to fine ord 42s to 465;
pea berry 58s 6d; Triage 35s 6d; and damaged 40s to
425. Of Foreign Coffee little was done privately.
Cocos.—There is a reluctance to purchase British
Plantation, and the rates accepted are rather under last
week, there being a fair supply. At auction, of 308 bags
Trinidad a small part only sold; good to fine red 45s to
505, common and middling 41s to 44s 6d, grey 38s to
40s, and damaged 31s to 41s. The value of Grenada is
35s to 40s, with few buyers. Foreign has been sold to
a fair extent; Bahia and Para at 26s to 275, and Guaya-
quil 30s to 31s. Holders manifest firmness.
TEA..—Although Congou is offered at rather lower
rates; yet the demand for home consumption has
been small; and the export orders executed have been
trifling; whilst supply is even larger than last week.
Prices are low and ord now rules at Bid to 9id, good
ord 9id to 103, medium to rather strong bookish
leaf sorts 10id to 11d, and better kinds 110
to is 61 per lb. A further reduction has taken place for
Souchong : transactions have been small, and there is
a plentiful supply ; for low and mid the rates taken are
9d to ls; good to fine is Id to is 9d ; superior is 10d
to 2s 2d. In Oolong sales have been small; prices
are also on the decline, and there is an increasing
supply, the present value is from Ild to Is 4d, and Is 5d
to is 7d for fine. The market for green remains in an
unfavourable position; supplies far exceed dealers'
wants, and the limited transactions have been at rather
lower quotations; medium sorts being least in request, of
which the recent arrivals have been heavy. For low and
mid Hyson the present value is is to is 43; good to fine
Is 5d to 2s 83; choice 2s 10d to 3s; Young Hyson,
good to fine is 7d to 2s 9.1; low to mid 101 to is 6d; im-
perial Canton lod to is 33; Hyson kind is 4d to 2s 7d;
Gunpowder Is 3d to 3s 6d; Canton, made 8d to is 2d; and
Twankay, from 10d to Is 2d. Other Teas have been
operated in with reluctance; and there are sellers of
Flowery Pekoe of ord quality at Is 2d to is sd; mid to
good is 7d to 2s 6d; choice, 2s 83 to 3s; Caper, iu
boxes, 103 to is 2d, scented ditto is ld to Is sd; Orange
Pekoe plain 10d to Is 6d, and scented ditto is 3d to 2s
per lb. Of 16,700 pkgs Tea offered at auction this
week, 5,500 found buyers, consisting chiefly of small
boxes of Gunpowder.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice was in better demand;
and at public sale 4,334 bgs Bengal were nearly all sold
at full terms; good mid and good white realised 9s to
9s 6d, mid 8s 6d to 9s, and damaged 5s 63 to 9s per cwt.
SPICES.—To-day at auction 1,358 bags Malabar Pep-
per were sold at full rates. and went at 34d to Sid, but
chiefly at aid; damaged 20 to 311. Of Wild Nutmegs
9 chests sold at 9d; 135 cases Malabar Ginger realised
33s to 35s for ord home trade sort; 67 cases 30 bags
Cochin 313 to 43s 6d for ord to mid, these are again
lower.

SPIRITS.—There are now few buyers of Leeward
Island Rum; prices, however, remain at is 5d to
Is 6d per gallon proof, on account of a small supply.
East India has been operated in with reluctance, and
merchants appear disposed to sell at is 34 to la 4d
proof, there being several parcels near at hand. In De-
merara operations are upon a limited scale at 2s to 2a
4d for 30 to 40 par cent over proof, and a decline is
anticipated. Shippers or home dealers are reluctant to
operate in Jamaica. We quote fine 34 to 38 over proof
at 3s 2d to 4s 4d; wood mid to good 32 to 37 over 2s 9d
to 3s; low and mid 30 to 35 over 2s 5d to 2s 8d per gall.
Small sales have been again made in Havannah at is 2d
to is lid proof. An increase is apparent in the demand
for Brandy, and the market has assumed a firm appear-
ance. Sales of Cognac best brands of the vintage of
1810 have been made at 4s 4d to 4e 6d, 1849 ditto
4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1848 ditto 4s lld to 5s ld, older 5s 4d
to 6s 6d; low and mid 2s 6d to 3s 6d; Bordeaux 2s 2d
to 2s 3d. In Geneva sales to a fair extent have been
made at is 7d to is Bd, and fine is 9d to 2s. For
British made Spirit, the value is 9s 5d to 9s 6d, net cash;
and Gin 2s 6d for exportation, with a firm market.
INDIGO.—The quantity of East India to be offered on
thc., 7th of next month has been increased to 19,109 chts,
which is greater than was expected. With Spanish
the market continues to be freely supplied, and
prices declined ld to 2d per lb for the lower
qualities, but better sorts generally sustained the
previous currency. Of Guatemala 747 erne were
offered, and about two-thirds sold ; the sales passed off
heavily. The qualities consisted ciefly of low to good
and fine. Prices rule as follows: very low copper and
coppery Cortes 2s 21 to 3s ld, mid and good 3s 4d to
4s 6d, and a few fine to extra fine 4s 8d to 53 4d per lb.

taken for Cochineal; and at auction 63 bgs of Honduras
sold at 2s I Id to 3s 2d for ord and mid Silvers.
