MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Dec. 26.)
SUGAR.—lmporters are less disposed to realise, and of
both Colonial and Foreign the supply at market has
much fallen short of the preceding week; the downward
tendency has also ceased, and there is an improved ex-
port demand; at present, however, some dealers are not
disposed to operate, but this is not likely to be the case
long, as consumption is satisfactory; prices on the
average 6s per cwt under this time last season, and on most
descriptions there is a very small profit on he importa-
tion; indeed, on brown East India merchants are sus-
taining a loss. Of all kinds arrivals here are this season
205,390 tons, against 180;890 in the preceding one;
home trade deliveries amount to 161,600, and in 1850 to
this time 875,680; for exportation the quantity taken
has been 17,400, and last season 24,300; stocks are now
87,900, and in the preceding year 59,000 tons. Former
t .rms are obtained for West India; only limited trans-
actions, however, have taken place, low to fine brown
at 284 to 30s 6d, yellow 30s 6d to 38s 6d, and refining
qualities 29s to 34s per cwt, the latter descriptions and
brown having been the least in request. Purchases on
Tuesday and Wednesday were 700 hhds, &C., including
at auction 194 hhda 6 tierces Barbadoes, which
realised steady prices, low yellow selling at
31s to 32s 6d, middling 34s to 34s 6d,
good mid to good 35s to 37s 6d, and fine 385 to 39s 6d.
Stock of Wo,t India is 11,900 tons more than last season.
At the principal ports clearances for home consumption
of all sorts are this year 5,706,820 cwt. Arrivals of
East and West India Sugar have been largo this week.
Colonial is cheaper than Foreign Sugar, but this is not

to 235. Sago Flour is wanted at 12s to 12s 6d, and
Farina at 133 to 14s. In Tapioca rather more is doing
at lid to itid. Prices for Arrowroot rule firm; there is
at present only a small demand, Bermuda at is to ls Id,
other sorts West India 2id to Bd, Brazil and East India
lid to 2d.
SPeces.—Holders of Pimento are still desirous to sell,
and submitted to a reduction of lid per lb. A fair busi-
ness in consequence has been concluded privately. At
auction 312 bags were all sold, mid and good at 44cl to
48i, low and good old nd to 4d, and damaged 3id to 4d.
Prices are id to Id per lb lower than at this time last
season. Pepper is not cheaper. The value of Malabar is 3id
to 31d, Sumatra and Penang 3d to 31e1 per lb. There are
several buyers of white from 63 to 11d. Cloves are
purchased with caution, and prices are rather lower. At
public sale 350 bags Bourbon sold at 51d to 6,1 d, and
damaged sid to 6d. Privately, sound Amboyna can be
obtained at 7d to 74d, and Penang 10d to Is id. There is
no increase in the supply of Cassia Lignea, but the de-
mand is only for small parcels from 1103 to 120 s. Cassia
Vera met with a slow sale at 43s to 553. Buds are still
scarce, and cannot be bought under 130 s. For Cinna-
mon there are yet few buyers, and a desire is
evinced to sell ; Ceylon first sort 2s to 3a 3d,
second is Id to 2s 2d, third arid fourth 10d to
Is 10d. Holders of Ginger show firmness, and only a
limited quantity is offering; little is doing at present
for shipping or home-trade purposes. Prices of Ja-
maica rule from 403 to 2205, African 23s 64 to 255, Ca-
licut 26s to 635, low ditto 203 to 255, and export
East India 16s to 17s. In Mace sales have been
trifling; first sort is offered at 2s 3d to 2s sd, second
Is lld to 2s 2d, and third Is 8d to is 10d. Operations
in Nutmegs have been trifling, but prices have ceased to
decline; brown being held for is 8d to 2s 10d, fine ditto
33 to 33 3d, and limed is 6d to 2s 4d. Cayenne Pepper
is quoted from 9d to is 31 per lb, and stock is less than
it was a few years back.
FRIIIT.—There now few buyers of Currants, and
holders are desirous to sell at the low rates of 30s to
36s for new, old 193 to 275. Raisins met with little
attention. New Valencias can be obtained at 32s to 363
old 223 to 283; Muscatels, now 423 to 80s; Sultanas 54i;
and Eleme 353 to 38s. Figs are dealt in with caution,
and 35s to 65s is the value of new Turkey. Prunes are
dull of sale at 18s to 253. French Plums are dealt in
with caution from 563 to 200 s per cwt.
SPIRITS —ln Demerara Rum many purchases have
been again made, and prices rule firm at 2s Id to 2s 4d
for 30 to 40 per cent over proof. Leeward Island has
been sold to a fair extent at Is 5d to is 6d proof; sup-
ply remains limited. East India is wanted, and realises
Is 3id to is 43. Prices are firm for Jamaica, and a
good demand exists, the lower qualities being most in
request. and of such the quantity on offer is less than of
late. The rates paid for fine 34 to 38 overproof were
from 3s 2d to 4s 2d, good mid and good 32 to 35 over
2s 9d to 3s, mid 2s 6d to 21 83, and common 28 to 30
over at 2s 3d to 2s 5d per gallon. For Brandy the de-
mand continues brisk. Sales of Cognac best brands of
the vintage of 1851 have been made at 4s ld to 53 3d;
1850 ditto 4s 6,1 to 4s 83, 1849 ditto 4s 93 to 4a 11d,
1848 ditto 5s 3d to 5s sd, older 5s 7d to 6s 6d, low to
mid 2s 103 to 4s, and Bordeaux 2s 2d to 28 43. The
market is firm for British made Spirit at 91 8d to 9•I 9d,
net cash; and for Gin at 8s for 323 under proof ; there
is also a good business doing. Several transactions have
taken place in Geneva, common at Is 7d to is 83, and
fine is 9d to 2s per gallon.
INDIGO.—There is yet little business doing in East
India for any purpose, and the rates taken are 2d to 3d
per lb. under those of the last quarterly sales, although
deliveries aro equal to last season. Spanish has been
sold to a fair extent at previous rates of 2; 4d to ss, low
and clean 1s 33 to 2s 23. •
COCHINEAL—The demand is not brisker, and previous
rates are barely supported. At auction 100 bags Hon-
duras were mostly sold at 2a 9d to 3s td for ord to good
Silvers; black 3; Id to 45 3,1 for common to fine ; 18 bgs
Mexican Silvers 2s 7d to 2; 8d; and 60 bgs Teneriffe 3s
ld to 3s 3d per lb.
TALLOW.—The stock is 10,000 casks more than at
this time last year; there is an increase in deliveries of
6,000, and prices rule rather under that time. Russian
on the spot is not offered at a further reduction; there is,
however, only a limited business doing. Fine old
yellow Candle can be obtained at 35s 6d to 37s 3d, and
new ditto 36s 6d to 363 9d. Few transactions have
taken place for delivery, and there are sellers at 36s 9d
to 373 for the early part of next year. Home melted,
nowever, remains in good demand, but is off-red at
363 6d to 375, net cash, there being no decrease of
supply. Other sorts of Tallow have been operated in
with caution. South American at from 34s to 363,
Australian Sneep 34s to 375, and Ox 333 6d to 36s 63.
OILS.—The demand remains good for Cod Oil at 321
to 32/103, and there are not free sellers. Seal is held
with firmness, and several transactions have taken place
pale at 321 331, straw and tinged 31s to 31s 153, yellow
and brown 291 10; to 301 103. Of Southern there
is still only a limited quantity on offer, and the rates paid
have been from 32/ to 351 for low to fine quality. Ope-
rations in Sperm are upon a small scale, and a desire
is evinced to sell at 841 to 85110 s. Prices for Head-
matter rule at 921 to 951. Cocoh Nut is in good demand
both For home consumption and shipping, and few par-
cels are on offer, rates in consequence range firm:
Ceylon and Cochin at 323 to 355, Sydney 29s to
31s. There is a reluctance to operate in Palm; and fine
can be obtained at 265. The market has is quiet aspect
for Rape Oil, and prices are on the decline; brown being
offered at 31s, pale 325, and Foreign Refined at 33s to 33s
63. Olive is not cheaper; there is, however, less busi-
ness doing; but consumption is not smaller; prices
for Galipoli rule at 421 to 431, and other sorts 451103,
to 411 10 per tun. Linseed Oil is in less request for all
purposes. and prices have slightly declined ; but there
is no decrease of consumption, or is supply larger. On
the spot rates rule at 26; 94 to 27; per cwt. There are
sellers for delivery up to the middle part of next year at
27s per cwt; yet few contracts have been entreed into.
Lard Oil is still scarce. and held for 493 to 50s.

REFINED.-There is a further increase in the home
e xr
eae
li tze,,d s t 1 o 1 be.
t o the
trade demand for Refined Sugar, and an improvement in
prices has taken place of 6d per cwt; the market is
nearly cleared, and lower qualities have been most in de-
wand; consumption continues to be greater than in the
previous season, and rates rule 33 to 4s per cwt under that
time. For brown lumps the prices paid have been 43s 61
to 445; Ti,tlers, low to fine 44e to 48s 64, double 493 to
50s; Hamburgh Loaves 4436 d to 49s 6d, double 50s to
51., ; and Standard Lumps 44s 61 per cwt; there are few
sellers for delivery at these rates, the difference being
only 128 per cwt between the raw and refined material.
Wet Lumps have been in brisk demand, and stiffer rates
are obtained-good to fine selling at 43s to 445, inferior
42s to 42s 63; the supply is on the decrease. Foreign
Refined Sugar rather more in request; stocks are mode-
rate, and rates firm; low to fine Loaves realizs from 43s
6d to 495. Bastards have been operated in with more
freedom, in consequence of the low terms taken, and
which are from 233 to Vs. Pieces have been in good
request; prices, however, remain at 29a to 34s for low
to mid, and at 353 to 405 for good to fine. Of Treacle
many parcels have been sold, and there is a further de-
crease of supply; boiled from West India Molasses
at present rates, as consumption is evidently on
the increase. Crushed -Sugar has been operated
in with reluctance fur exportation, and there being a fair
supply, a desire is evinced to sell British at 26s 64 to
275; Dutch, low to mid 223 to 245, better sorts 24s 64 to
27e; and Belgian at 24s to 255, but refiners are obtain-
ing only small profits. Treacle continues to be wanted
for shipping at 12s 64 to 13s. In Pieces operations are
small at 24s to 255, and Bastards 19s to 21s. Loaves
continue to be purchased with reluctance for exporta-
tion, and there are sellers of Turkey 1 to 5i lbs at 40s
to 455; Hambro 6 to 15 lbs 30s to 31s 6.1; Tittlers 22
to 30 lbs 28s 6d to 295; Prussian 40 to 45 lbs 28s; Bel-
gian made Loaves 10 lbs 26s to 288; and Dutch 10 ibs
294 61 to 318 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-In Khaur Bengal an extensive business
has been concluded privately, about 10,000 bags having
been disposed of at 223 to 23s per cwt; a part has been
taken fer distilling. For other sorts of Bengal rather
lower rates having been taken, occasioned a fair de-
mand to prevail. At auction 6,400 bags were nearly all
disposed of; fine white Benares went at 37s to 38s 6d,
mid to good 35s 64 to 36s 64, low 345 6d to 355, damp
and washed 34s to 37$ 6d, mid and yellow like Mauri-
tius 30s to 335, fine 345 to 34a 6d, common 283 to 295,
fair and good date yellow 263 to 28s. Privately, grainy
yellow has been selling at 33s to 393, brown ditto 29s to
325, and white ditto 405 to 45e Penang is in more plea-
tiful supply, and a slight reduction has taken place:
but 3,368 bags at auction were all sold; soft brown
went at 23s to 24s 63, yellow 25s to 30s, and a fsw
lots common to mid white 31s 6(1 to 335, the value
of better sorts is 34s to 375. In brown Madras a good
deal has been done privately in consequence of previous
low terms of 223 to 23s 6d per cwt having been taken at
auction, 1,800 bags were disposed of; ord to fine soft
brown at 22s 6d to 24a, common grocery 28s 64 to 29s 6d,
mid and good ditto 308 to 34s 6d, white at 30s to 335.
Of Ceylon none has again been offered at auction.
FOREIGN.-There is less desire on the part of holders
to sell; and the quantity offered is smaller than for some
weeks. A good business has been concluded for
shipping and refining under bond, but grocers
have operated with caution. The rates obtained
are equal to those of this day week, and
privately transactions to that time have been 5,000 chests
yellow Havannah at 32s to 355, for low to mid, small
parcels good to flee 36s 6d to 38s, florettes 38s 64 to
40s; 400 chests Brazil brown 26s 6d to 29s 6d, yellow
30s to 333, white 345 to 395; 3,000 bags Manilla 27s to
325, small parcels Java in bond at from 143 to 235,
white Havannah 223 to 265. Only one public sale has
been held this week, comprising 2,722 bags cleyed
Manilla, which reslizsd 29s to 31s 6d for yellow, but
chiefly 31s. Floating cargoes are rather more in de-
mand, but moderate rates are offered, and one has been
sold at 19s 3d per cwt equal to 13k.
COFFEE.-Although Native Ceylon is offered at a
small reduction, yet privately operations are limited,
low to good ord at 38s to 395, and better quality 39s 6d
to 40s. Of 700 bags at auction a part only found
buyers. The market is not expected to remain long in
a quiet state oa account of the reduced stocks held
by dealers. A fair business has been concluded in
Plantation Ceylon, precious moderate rates are ac-
cepted for all qualities, and home dealers are the chief
operators. At section 270 casks and 100 bags were
nearly all disposed of ; fine went at from 60s to 633 6d,
good mid to good 54s to 58s, mid 503 to 545, low mid
48s 6d to 49s 6d, fine to fine fine ord 44s to 485,
other sorts 42s to 43s 9d, triage 36s to 425, and
very ord 31s 61 to 355. For superior sorts of (111.. e the
rates demanded are 64s to 70s, and p'-a berry from 56,
to 645. 01 Jamaica none has been submitted to public
sale, and privately transactions are trifling; prices, how-
ever, re•iiain for good and fine at 58s to 80s, low mid
to mid 493 to 565, fine to fine ord 41s to 48s, and in-
ferior 378 to 40s; stock rather exceeds that of
last season. Of Mocha there is an increasing supply,
and dealers operating with reluctance, prices have further
declined is to 23; of 330 bales at 'suction a small portion
only sold, mid small greenish clean garbled went at
65s 6d, fine yellowish long berry at 803, good ditto 75s
to 765, and triage 31s to 453; stock varies little from
this dote last year. Other East India sorts continue
to meet with little attention; supply is, however, not
large r; prices for Padang and Sumatra rule at 35s to
375, Madras 39s to 441, better sort 45s to 47e; Telli-
cherry, good to fine 50s to 565, low to mid 403 to 493;
Singapore Java 38s to 425, Company's 46s to 503,
and Mysore 38s to 455. In consequence of the
limited demand for Foreign Coffee previous rates
are barely sustained, although only a moderato
quantity is on offer : the chief transactions for the week
are 2,000 bags Rio at 383 64 for good firsts; there are
sellers of other kinds at from 35s to 383, washed 40s to
44; ; St. Domingo 37s to 395; Costa Rica, ord to good
ord 41s to 435, fine to fine ord 41s to 495, low mid and
mid 40s to 565, superior 58s to 64s ; Leguayrs, from 39s
to 565; Porto Rico 393 to 543, and Cuba from 403 to 60s.
MAURITIUS -There has been no further reduction,
and only one small parcel was submitted to public sale;
privately, however, operations have been of little
moraeat, both for the pan and scale; the value of fine
and good yellow is 323 ed to 375, low to good mid ditto
303 to 325, good to fine brown 27s to 29s 6d, low to mid
233 to 26s 61, refining qualities 27s to 345, and crystal-
ized 32s to 40s.
COCOA.-Prices have ceased to decline for West India,
and a less amount is on offer ; dealers, however, are
little disposed to operate. The value of low to fine Tri-
nidad is from 39s to 465, grey 33s to 38s, and Granada
31s to 388. Foreign is offered at moderate rates, still
