MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London .New Price Current, Dec. 16.)
SUGAR —To-day lower rates were not taken for West
India Sugar, but all parties were reluctant to operate.
The 5-ales are only 445 hhds, &c., including at au.ejon
200 hhds Barbadoes, which went off quietly, but pre-
vious terms are generally sustained. fine yellow selling
at 37s to 38s, mid to good 33s 6d to 36s 6-i, and common
32s to 33s per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day there was a reluctance on the part
of home dealers to operate in Refined Sugar, but rates
remain at 43s to 48s for low to fine grocery lumps.
Crushed Sugar is still dull of sale, with tree sellers at
former rates.

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritius Sugar, and generally little was done, whilst
at previous rates a desire is evinced to operate.
EAST INDIA.—Tbis afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 4,577 bags ;
Khaur was only in part sold at the low rates of 21s
to 235, but chiefly at 22a to 22s 6d, ordinary
and mid grainy realised 323 to 355, and a few lots soft
mid yellow 24s 6d to 255, being the full value; there was
no white Benares in the sale. Of' Madras 4,692 bags
were all disposed of, but at barely former valuations,
soft brown selling at 22s to 23s 6d, yellow 241 to 275, and
one lot good bright yellow 20s per cwt. Of Ce3lon 72
casks realised 26s to 28s for ord and mid yellow but uut
of condition.

FOREIGN.—Since Friday the market for Foreign
Sugar was inactive, and previous terms are supported
with difficulty; about 1,500 chests have been sold, mostly
at 33s fur ord yellow. None of any sort was otThrtd at
auction to-day. _

MoLAssElC—Thero has been much inquiry after West
India, but rather higher rates being demanded operated
against business. The purchases since this day week
have been 400 puns, nearly all Antigua at lls 6d to 12s
6d. Cuba and Porto Rico are in fair request at
12s to 123 6d, Of Bengal and Mauritius the quantity
here is trifling, and 10.361 to Ils is the value. Honey is
wanted; low to good Jamaica at 35s to 48s, superior 50a
to 545. A good business has been concluded in Tama-
rinds; East India realized 7s to 12s, and West India 20s
to 30s per cwt.

COCO-A.—Purchases have been again trifling in British
Plantation; there is a fair supply, and rather lower
terms are acceded to. Of 227 bags 11 brls Trinidad at
auction, a small portion only found buyers, grey at 34s
to 38s, red 39s to 455; and 100 bags Grenada, 34s 6d
to 36s 6d per cwt. Purchases in Foreign are yet trifling;
there are sellers of Bahia and Para at 25s to 275, and
Guayaquil at 325.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon Cake was
not offered at a reduction, but there was no improve-
ment in the demand; of 1,500 bags at auction rather
more than half sold, good ord at 39s to 39s 6d, and da-
maged 37s to 395; a portion of the sound was taken
in at 403. Previous terms are demanded for Planta-
tion; there is, however still little business doing
privately: 'of 120 casks 226 bags at public sale a
small part only sold, low mid and mid at 49s to 528,
other sorts 43s to 48s, and triage 37s to 435. Full
terms are demanded for Mocha, and 45 bales were sold,
mid clean garbled went at 72s to 72s 6d, fine long berry
84s 6d to 85s, and damaged 76a to 80s. For other sorts
of Coffee the market has a quiet aspect; few parties are,
however, disposed to sell at a decline.
TEA.—Holders of Congou appear unwilling to sell at
any further decline, and a less quantity is on the market.
Home dealers, however, operate with reluctance, and the
export orders executed have been trifling; prices for low
quality rule at 7d to lid, good ord 8d to ts4d, blackish
leat 9d to lid, superior and Pekoe kinds Is to is sd,
but sorts under lld per lb are least in request. A fair
business has been concluded in Souchong, but low rates
are taken, good to fine selling at is to is l Od, ord and
mid 8d to I Id. Oolong is in good request, but there is
no advance, 9d to is 2d having been accepted for coin
and good, and fine is 3d to is sd. In Scented Orange
Pekoe several purchases have again been made; fine is
4d to is Bd, middling to good is to is 3d, and common
9d to 11d. Flowery Pekoe met with little notice, al-
though common and mid qualities can be obtained at
lid to is 3d, good to fine is 41 to 2s,.superior 2s 2d to
2s Bd. Gunpowder Canton made 8d to 11d, good to
fine Hyson kind is 8d to 3s 4d, low to mid is to is 6d,
Imperial is Id to 2s 6d, Hyson sort 10d to is, good to
fine Young Hyson is 3d to 2s 6d, and other sorts lld to
Is 2d per lb.

RIcE.—To-day only a limited business was concluded
in East India Rice privately, at the same time lower
rates are not taken. None was submitted to public sale.
UlT.—Prices are still on the decline for Currants,
supply being undiminished; there has, however, been an
extensive business concluded; new at 308 to 355, and old
20s to 275. Valencia Raisins are pressed for sale, but oon•
siderable parcels have been diposed of; new 33s to 365,
and old 223 to 28s. For new Eleme the rates asked are
37s to 395, but not much is doing. In Figs operations
have been limited, supply is on the increase, and rates
are on the decline, Turkey pulled selling at 43s to 655,
low 35s to 40s. Muscatels are less in request, and offered
from 43s to 70s, choice 75s to 90s. Prunes are only in
moderate demand at 18s to 245, Sultanas 545, and French
Plums at from 56s to 200 s.
SPIRITB.—A large business has been concluded in De-
merara Rum, about 500 htuis having been sold at 2s Id
to 2s 3d for 32 to 40 over proof, but chiefly at the latter
rate. In Leeward Island a fair business is doing at
Is Si to is 6d proof. Several transactions have taken
place in East India at is 30 proof, and there is a firm
market. A good home and export demand exists for
Jamaica, previous terms are also well supported, and
lower qualities are most in request. Prices for fine 34
to 38 over proof rale at 3s 2d to 4s 2d, mid 'to good 33
to 35 over 2s 6d to 3s, and common 30 to 33 over
2a 3d to 2s sd. In Brandy a good deal has been done,
and holders have confidence. Sales of Cognac best
brands of the vintage of 1850 made at 4s 5d to 4s 7d,
1849 ditto 4s 8d to 4s 10d, 1848 ditto 53 Id to 53 4d,
1847 ditto 5s 7d to 5s 9d, older 5s 10d to 6s 6d, low to
mid 2s 10d to 4s, and Bordeaux 28 2d to 2s 4d. British
made Spirit finds a free sale at 9s 8d to 9s 9d nett cash,
and Gin at 8s for 22 under proof. A fair business is
doing in Geneva at is 7d to is Bd, and fine is 6d to 2s
per gallon.
8P ppor has been operated in with caution,
yeticEsPe
holders.— refuse to sell at lower rates. The value of
Malabar is 3id to 3id, Penang and Sumatra 3d
to 3d. White remains in fair demand, and full
rates aro obtained. At auction 140 bags were
disposed of
d to Bid for good quality. Fur
Cayenne theB
value is from 9d to is 2d. Pimento
is in larger supply and being less wanted a reduction of
id has taken place. At public sale 760 bags were mostly
sold, good mid and good at 5d to 50, mid 40 to 4id,
very ord and low aid to 411, but chiefly at sd.
The small quantity of Cassia Lignea here is
held for 114 s to 120 s, but inquiries have been
experienced. Of Cassia Vera 100 chests at auction
were taken in at 465 per cwt. Cassia Buds are held for
130 s per cwt, and are scarce. With Ginger the market
has been sparingly supplied, and previous terms are sus-
tained, few transactions having taken place privately. Ja-
maica is held for 40s to 1003, lic,a 1103 to 210.; African
23s to 255; Calcutta good to fine 38s to 60s, infelior and
middling 248 to 375. Cinnamon continues to attract
