MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, July 11.)
SUGAIi.-To day West India Sugar was purchased with
caution for home consumption, and rather lower rates were
taken, making the reduction as compared with last Friday
is per cwt. Operations to-day were 269, and for the week
1,427 hhds and trcs, the market closing with a dull tone.
REFINED.-To-day operations in Refined goods were upon
a limited scale by home dealers, and brown Lumps are to be
obtained at 46s to 46s 6d per cwt. In Crushed Sugar there
is still little doing, but lower rates are not taken.
MAunmes.-This afternoon there was not much desire
to operate in Mauritius Sugar, and rather lower rates were
taken, making a reduction for the week of is per cwt. At
auction 4,091 bags were sold, good to fine yellow went at 37s
to 39a 6d, low to middling 31s 6d to 36s 6d, and brown from
31s to 34s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon white Bengal met with a
good demand, and 2,420 bags at auction were sold at full
rates, realizing 38s 6d to 40a for mid and good mid, and good
40s dto 41s 6d. Of Penang 974 bags were taken in at 32s

6d to 35s per cwt.
FOREIGN.-There was no public sale of Foreign Sugar to-
day, and little business was done privately for any purpose;
there are free sellers at the rates of yesterday.
BlotassEs.--There is still little business doing in any sort,
and the quantity exceeds that of last week. For small
parcels of low to fine West India the rates taken are 13s to
15s, Bengal and Mauritius 12s to 12s 60, Porto Rico 14s to
15s, but if sales were to be pressed a decline would be the
result, although stock is yet less than last season : at auction
233 hhds Cossipore were withdrawn. Prices for Jamaica
Honey remain at from 30s to 55s per cwt.
COFFEY.-This afternoon there was rather more demand
for Native Ceylon Coffee, and the rates paid privately were 38s

been taken at 383 per cwt.
TEa.-The market has a firm appearance for common and
good ord Congou ; many purchases have been again made by
home dealers, and a fair export demand exists. Prices rule
at from 10id to 11d per lb, and supply is moderate. There
is no advance to notice for other kinds ; transactions are,
however, to a fair extent, and a less quantity is pressed for
sale ; the rates paid fbr medium to rather strong blackish
leaf sorts are 111,0 to Is, and good to fine is to is 7d per lb.
Oblong has been sold to a fair extent at Is to Is B€l, supply
is not equal to last week. Green Tea has supported previous
rates, and a fair business was transacted; but Young Hyson
still sells the most freely, and there is a decrease in supply.
Scented or Pekoe sorts have not improved in price ; but orders
are upon a more extended scale at previous terms.
SPICIS.-There is only a limited demand for Nutmegs,
and the rates taken are rather under those prevailing pre-
viously, although supply is moderate. At auction 17
chests were sold; good brown at 2s 9d to 2s 10d, mid
2s 5d to 2s Bd, low Is 10d to 2s 4d, and wormy 8d to

mid, third pile 97s to 97s 6d, mouldy 93s and broken,
908 per cwt. Pimento continues in good demand,

crease of supply. At auction 235 bags were sold at
4'gol to 5d for mid and good, but chiefly at the better price.
Privately several transactions have taken place. Ginger,
the rates taken for Jamaica are rather under those of last

81 At auction 90 bgs Bourbon sold at 6d to 6id per lb.
The market for Cinnamon has a.quiet aspect. At the ensuing
sales nearly 2,000 bls Ceylon will be offered.
Rim-Holders of Bengal are not disposed to accept lower
rates; and the private transactions have been trifling by
shippers and home dealers. Of 3,159 bags, and 1,000 pockets
at auction a small part only sold ; good white at lOs to lOs 6d,
mid 9s to 9s 6d, low 8s to 8s 6d, and damaged 5s to 9s 6d.

place of 3d per cwt for Madras; at auction 2,489 bags were
nearly all sold; good mid pinkey at 7s 6d to 8s; Pearl

at is 3d to is 31d. Demerara is 10d to 2s 3d for 30 to 40
