MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR—The stock of West India Muscovades is reduced
to about 5,000 hhds. and trs : and, as a large proportion of the
quantity are Sugars not available, the show is too limited to
constitute a market currency; the sales do not average 300
hhds. per day ; the prices are nominally the same as last week.
No improvement has taken place in the demand for refined,
but prices continue nominally the same; the buyers for the
Hamburgh market offer 2s. a 3s. less, but no reduction has
taken place in the value of raw Sugar; together with the cir-
cumstance of the Refiners having nearly ceased to work, it is
not likely that, for the present, they will be inclined to meet the
buyers : a few small parcels of fine crushed have again sold at
33s 6d. for the Mediterranean, but generally the prices asked
are from 345. a 365.

EAST INDIA SUGARS.-There has been a considerable
quantity brought to public sale-viz., 8,642 bags Company's
Bengal, 3,939 bags Manilla, 4,257 bags Siam, and 410 bags
Java; nearly the whole, except about one half of the Manilla
and Siam, found buyers; the Bengal at an advance of about
Is. 6d. on the last Company's sale; the rest went at steady
prices; few lots of the Bengal were taken for the Mediter.
ranean, but the greater part was taken by the home trade. The
following are the prices-Bengal, good yellow, 245. a 245. 6d. ;
ord. white, 245. 6d. a 255. 6d.; damp, 235. 6d. a 255.; mid. white,
255. 6d. a 275. ; damp, 245. a 265. ; fine white, 28s. 6d. a 295. 6d. ;
damp, 275. 6d. a 285.; Manilla, good yellow, 245. a 255.; Siam,
good white, sold from 245. 6d. a 255. ; Java, ord. brown washed,
sold 17s. a 17s. 6d. The public sales of Mauritius have again
been very large, amounting to 14,607 bags, but, notwithstanding
this, prices have been advancing 6d. a Is. since last week: this
improvement may be attributed to the very small enpply of
British Plantation Sugars, also to the value of this article
having been 2s. a 3s. below the former; the refiners have given
higher proportionate rates than for the grocery sorts, 51s. a 525.
having been paid for low strong dingy gray, while good bright
yellows are only worth 525. a 535. The following are the prices
paid-good brown, 495. a 495. 6d. ; ord. yellow, 51s. a 51s. 6d. ;
good yellow, 525. a 535. ; fine yellow, 545. a 555. ; ord. gray, 51s. ;
good and fine gray, 525. a 535. 6d. ; very coloury gray or white,
575. a 595. No arrivals this week.

FOREIGN SUGARS.-By private contract very little has
been done in any description ; the demand, however, for Brown
Sugars continues very animated, but we are still without any
supply; the public sales consisted of 186 chests 50 brls Brazil,
and 50 trcs. Para, which met a brisk demand, and sold from Is.
a Is. 6d. higher than previous sales : the same advance has also
been offered by private contract. The following are the prices
of the public sales-Bahia, good brown, 21s. 6d. ; good yellow,
225. 6d. ; low to good white, not strong, Zs. 6d. a 275.; Rios,
fine brown, 20s. 6d. ; good yellow, Zs. a Zs. 6d. ; ord white
245. fxl. a 278. ; good white, strong, 2Ss. a 30s. 6d ; Pernams,
tine yellow, 235. ; soft ord. white, 255. 6d. a 265; good white
bought in at 295. ; Para, good yellow soft, 225. 6d. a 235.
COFFER-There have been no public sales, either of Bri.
tish Plantation or Foreign; for the former there is but little
inquiry from the home trade, but for the latter and East India
there is a renewed demand, and large transactions have taken
place by private contract within the last two days, amounting
to 5,000 bags, at rather better prices than could have been pre-
viously obtained, which amendment may be attributed to favour.
able accounts received from Holland; 2,400 bags Batavia were
advertised, but withdrawn from the market, it being understood
that the whole will be shipped for Holland; Brazil, good ord.
realised 565.; fine ord. 58s. a 596.; St.. Domingo, pale ord.
575. 6d. ; good ord. 58s. 6d. ; Cheribon, 555. a 565.; Ceylon,
555. a 565. 6d.

RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum market
is very dull, but there are few holders that will sell at any
reduction. Brandy is not so brisk as in the preceding week.
Geneva is without alteration.

HEMP, FLAX, AND TA LLO W.—The Tallow market
continues advancing, the nearest quotation last night was 435.
In Hemp or Flax there is little alteration. By public sale yes-
terday, 165 skins Cape Tallow, 41s. 6d. a 425. ; 24 tons sound
St. Petersburgh clean Hemp, 35/. 10s. a 35/. 15s. ; 12 ditto half_
clean Hemp, 27/. 5s a 27/. 15s. ; 130 bales New Zealand Flax
(part remarkably fine) 25/. ss. a 251. 155., all sold.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—For Butter of all descriptions we
continue to have a very limited inquiry, and prices must be
altogether considered nominal. For Bacon the demand
does not increase, on the contrary (though small the stock
at the wharfs now, compared with what it was at this time
last year), the cheesemongers show every disinclination to go
into purchases; the present prices demanded are much above
what they ought to be, considering the general state of trade
throughout the country. For every other article under this
head we cannot note any alteration in price or demand since
our last.

COTTON.—The Cotton market is steady in prices; the
sales this week are inconsiderable.

SILK.—The demand and the prices of Silk are improving.
FRUlT.—There is little alteration in Fruit this week.
TEA.—The market is dull : Bohea %d. per lb. profit.
SALTPETRE.—At public sale Saltpetre went off at 31s.
a 345.

RICE—In Rice there is little alteration.
WOOL.—The late public sales of Wool have gone offfreely,
the prices much the same as in February.
COCHINEAL.—SeveraI parcels of Cochineal have been
brought forward this week; the sales yesterday went off
heavily, 2d. a 3d. per lb. lower.
