MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

SUGAR.-The brisk and extensive demand for West India
Muscovades was checked last week by the Ministers acceding
to the proposed measure of allowing Foreign and other Sugars
to be refined in this country under the King's lock, and the
whole produce exported; the wholesale Grocers expected that
the Refiners would only purchase Foreign Sugar, and that the
usual demand by the buyers for the country trade would meet
with no competition ; under these circumstances they ref:ained
from purchasing, and very few sales were reported towards the
close of last week; the prices were, however, fully supported.
The estimated sales to-day are 1,200 hhds. and trs. The stock
of West India Sugar is now 36,706 hhds. and trs., being 4,925
more than last year. The stock of Mauritius 120,607 bags, being
69,401 more than last year. The delivery of West India is
3,054 hhds. and trs., being 640 less than last year. The delivery
of Mauritius is 5,651 bags, being 50 less than the corresponding
week of 1832. This day by public sale 136 hhds. Barbadoes
Sugar, low yellow 555. up to 595. for fine, all sold, about 6d.
higher. In the Refined Market last week higher prices were
asked, and rather extensive transactions took place in fine
crashed entitled to the bounty on double refined at 325. and
325. 6d. The Refined Market this afternoon is rather dull,
prices remain the same.
MAURITIUS SUGAR.-The business in Mauritius last week was
confined to about 3,000 bags taken by private contract at very
full market prices. This day, by public sale, 4,568 bags Mau-
ritius Sugar, low 51s. 6d., yellow 545. a 595., all sold from Is. a
Is. 6d. higher.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.-East India Sugars are held for higher
prices, on account of their being allowed for refining under bond
for export; about 3,000 bags Manilla sold at an advance of Is. a
ls. 6d. per cwt. This day, by public sale, 10,642 bags Manilla
Sugar sold at an advance of is. a ls. 6d. per cwt., low grey 255.,
mid. grey and yellow 265., good grey and yellow 275., and fins
strong white 28s. per cwt. Bengals are In greater request, and
for Siams higher prices are asked.
FOREIGN SUGAR -The effects of the measure of allowing
Foreign Sugar to be refined here for export appears to have
been anticipated ; there is, however, a further advance of Is.
per cwt ; mid, white Havannah was sold at 315., yellow at
265.; white Bahia and Pernams 255. 6d. a 28s. This day by
public sale 252 chests 28 barrels Bahia, principally strong grey,

MOLASSES.-This day by public sale 46 puns Trinidad Mo-
lasses 265. 6d. a 275., about 6d, higher.
COFFEE.-The Coffee Market last week had rather a heavy
appearance, and the prices were a shade lower; St. Domingo
good ord. quality was taken in at public sale at 635. ; good ord.
Brazil sold at 60s. In East India there were considerable sales,
Sumatra 575. a 575. 68., ord. green Batavia mixed with black

cline, good ord. Jamaica selling at 91s. 6d. and 925., fine ord.
935. a 955.-This day 4,458 bags Brazil Coffee, good to fine ord.
coloury, were offered at public sale ; the first 200 bags having
been sold with much competition from 665. a 675. per cwt., the
remainder were withdrawn, notice being given that they were
for sale at those prices by private contract, at which a great
part has been already sold. Foreign Coffee is in great request.
Higher prices are offered for Ceylon and other East India, but
are refused by holders.
CocoA.-British Plantation Cocoa continues in steady re.
quest for the home consumption of the country, good and fine
Trinidad has been sold 68s. a 745.; ordinary at 665. and 675. which
are the highest prices yet realized; fair Grenada sold at 655.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Jamaica Rums are held
with much firmness for higher prices, some parcels, 30 over,
have been sold at 2s. lid, a Os., and large contracts for Lee-
wards are reported at 2s. a 2s. Id. In Brandy there is no alte.
ration. Geneva remains nominal,

TALLOW.—The Tallow Market continues steady ; it, how-
ever, is generally affected by the result of the fisheries, and the
present reports are unfavourable. _

OlLs.—Common Oils are firm at the late advance; several
arrivals from Newfoundland during the last week have pre-
vented further improvement for the present. Two out of the
five ships that went to Greenland have arrived at Peterhead
with les and 90 tuna Oil; the other three proceeded to Davies'
Straits ; others have not had any influence on the market. At
public sale last week South Sea sold at 261., but went off
heavily. In Seed Oils a fair business doing.
TURPENTINE.-The last arrival of rough sold a shade below
12s. Spirits are of heavy sale.

CorroN.—The sales of Cotton here last week were nearly
16,000 bags, the prices gradually advanced from id. a Id. per
lb., and the market getting brisker at every stage of the im.
provement ; the transactions would have been still more exten.
sive, but there are no supplies here except Surats, which are
now fast disappearing.

TEA.—The market is rather dull, but there is no alteration
in prices.

COCHINEAL—Parcels of silvers have been sold as high as
85. 6d., and fine blacks at 9s. 7d.
Hops.--The accounts from the Hop plantations are most
favourable; the plant is very luxuriant, and coming into burr
freely. The duty is now estimated at 190,000/. to 200,000/., which
is 26,0001. more than the last estimate. Sussex pockets 755. a
905.; Kent, 80s. a 100 s. _ _ _

IRISH PRO\ IS lONS.-There were not any arrivals of Foreign
Butter in the last week, but of Irish there were 9,228 firkins,
and 2,148 bales of Bacon; there were, however, arrivals yes.
terday of about 3,500 casks of Foreign Butter, and a similar
supply looked for in the course of the week. Fine Friesland
Butter is offering at 80s. per cwt. at the quay. The prices
for Irish Butter continue much the same as last quoted,
say 735. for Cork and Limerick of fair assortments, and
70s. a 745. for Waterford as to quality and repute of the
brands; very little doing in sales on board. For Bacon there is
a pretty fair sale, and singed we quote as to weight, freshness,
and general condition as to quality, from 325. a 40s, per cwt. Bale
Middles we quote 30s. a 325. ; Belfast Tierce Middles 325. a 365.,
Limerick 365. a 38s. ; Belfast Hams, 465. a 525., Limerick, 555.
a 745. ; Belfast Bladder Lard 475. ; and Waterford and Lime-
rick, as to quality and packages, 50s. to 535. per cwt. The

September next, for 10,000 Navy tierces of Beef and 9,000 Navy
tierces of Pork, being for a larger quantity than was required
