MARKET INTELLIG ENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the " London New Price Current" of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades has been very limited
this week : the purchases do not exceed 2,000 hhds. and trs. ;
the market is very firm as to prices ; the holders are sanguine
that rather higher prices will be obtained on account of the
expected short supplies, and also on account of the large weekly
d,liveries for home consumption compared with last year. The
stock of West India Sugar is 19,072 hhds. and trs., being
1.086 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius 86,320
hags, being 19,711 more than last year. The delivery of West
hulls 2,653 lihds. and trs., being 467 more than last year. The
delivery of Mauritius 7,194 bags, being 1,532 less than the
corresponding week of 1833. In Refined there is little change,
but there is a heaviness about the Market ; fine Crushed 325.
a,id 31s. (id. ; large and small Lumps are taken for melting at
former prices 665. and 695. This day the stock of goods on hand
is still small, the Refiners have not pressed their parcels on the
Market, and c >nscquently very little alteration in prices has
taken place ; the quantities entitled to the bounty on double
refined for export being generally held for 325. although one or
two small parcels have been sold 6d. under that price ; at 31s.
there have been a good many offers, but the Refiners steadily
refuse to sell upon those terms; the grocers continue to pur-
chase freely, and of the qualities which come in contact with
the exporters. The Market this afternoon is rather higher, on
account of the firmness of the raw market.

MAURITIUS SUGAR.—There is little alteration in Mauritius
Sugar ; the prices early in the week rather gave way, but the
parcel sold had an offensive smell; the market has since fully
recovered to the former currency, but at the public sale the

Sugars this week worth reporting.
