MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—The supply of West India Sugars early in this
week were very limited, and still continued of inferior quality,
but the arrivals are now daily coming in, and as the wind con-
tinues to the westward, we may expect extensive arrivals, and
as the trade are without stock on, account of the late scanty
supply, we may expect a great trade about the present medium
rates. The business this week is large for the small supply, it
is estimated at 2,200 hhds. and trs., the prices may be consi-
dered 6d. per cwt. higher than on this day week. The supply
of Refined has rather increased this week, but still inadequate
to the demand, the prices have been in consequence rather
higher for export qualities ; fine crashed 335. 6d., and the
holders asking rather more money; the goods for the home
trade have been in fair request, at the former currency. There
is little alteration in the prices this afternoon, the goods are
still scarce, the holders are now asking 755., and there are
buyers at 745. 6d.
MAURITIUS.—The public sales early in this week went off
with increased animation at higher prices, particularly for the
coloury descriptions; the Refiners were also considerable pur-
chasers. At two public sales this forenoon, 7,377 bags Mau-
ritius were offered, and all sold at an average advance of 6d.
per cwt., grey 51s. a 595., yellow low to fine 525. 6d. a 625.
EAST INDlA.—There are no sales of any consequence to re-
port this week.
FoREION.—The enquiries for Foreign continue, the sales are
chiefly at 345. for white Havannah on the spot, and one cargo

COFFRE.—There is little alteration to notice in Coffee this
Stek, the Foreign and East India continue dull and sold at
lower prices, Ceylon 555., and Brazil coloury 525. The
British Plantation descriptions continue nominal, as the trade
hold off in the expectation of extensive arrivals, the only pur-
chases reported, are some good good ord. Jamaica and some
Triage for immediate demand for home consumption at full
market prices. There were no public sales this day of any
extent, but the Market has rather a more firm appearance ; no
parcels are pressing upon the Market for Ale. By public sale
this forenoon 111 bags Ceylon Coffee sold at full prices 555.

over at 3s. id., but there are no sales of any extent to report.

tensive scale, pale Geneva on the Quay 2s. a 2s. Id.

was attended by a great number of manufacturers, and the

chests, and two breaks Souchong, per A. Baring, were with-
drawn, owing to a difficulty about the duty. There is no
business doing by private contract, the holders were previously
eager .selicrs at a large discount on the last East India Com-
pany's Tas, but there are no buyers.
TOBACCO.-The sales of Tobacco are about 300 hhds. ;
Virginia at 40. a 50, and Kentucky .31d. a 40., all for

FRUIT.—In Currants some very extensive business was done
last week; the trade purchased freely, and the deliveries con-
tinue large, and the importers arc very firm at the advanced
quotations : fine Valentia Raisins are become very scarce,
and the few remaining on hand command a ready sale ; for
the middling and ordinary descriptions the demand is very
limited : in the other descriptions of Fruit there is little doing.
