MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of last night.)
SUGAR.—There was little business done in West India
Muscovades last week ; the sales did not exceed 2,300 hhds.
and trs. ; the market closed very firmly. The stock of West
India Sugar is now 29,054 hhds. and trs., being 14,416 less
than last year. The stock of Mauritius is now 43,841 bags,
which is 17,841 less than last year. The delivery of West
India last week was 2,436 hhds. and trs., which is 680 less
than last year. The delivery of Mauritius is 3,762 bags,
being 1,541 more than the corresponding week of 1834.
This day a further rise was expected, on account of the
favourable state of the Refined Market, and the favourable
accounts from all quarters respecting Sugar ; the consequence
was, the holders have again been asking higher prices, and
what sold went off at the extreme prices of last week ; the
purchases are 800 hhds. and trs., including the public sale of
Barbadoes, consisting of 103 hhds., which sold at full prices,
645. 6d. to 665. 6d. ; the advance generally demanded this
forenoon was 6d. to is. per cwt. ; they are certainly getting
higher prices than on Friday. The Refined Market was very
firm all last week, fine Crushed 41s. ; free buyers at that rate,
but few sellers.

The Market is generally better and higher this afternoon;
Lumps to pass the standard 835.; the demand is more general
and extensive.

MAcaurius.—There were no public sales last week, and
very few purchases by private contract.
EAST INDlA.—There were no public or private purchases
in East India Sugars last week worth reporting.
FO.REIGN.—In consequence of the accounts from the Ha-
vannah and Brazil of a considerable advance in the prices, all
the leading houses ordered their Foreign Sugars to be with-
drawn from the Market for higher rates, and would not accept
any offers near the present prices. Average price of Sugar
1/. 18s. 7i-d. per cwt.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES—There are no sales of West India
Molasses to report ; the late advance is fully maintained ; there
arc now few left in first hands ; the present stock is about one
half of what it was at this season last year. This evening a
parcel of Demerara at 30s. The total deliveries of West
India Molasses from the warehouses for the week ending sth
Dec. amount to 3,625 cwt.
COFFEE.—The market for British Plantation Coffee re-
mained in a very depressed state last week ; the clean de,.
scriptions of Jamaica are very scarce, and must be quoted 2s.
to 3s. higher, but the quantity offered at public sales consisted
entirely of ord. and unclean, the great proportion of which
was taken in, the remaindrr sold at very low prices. In Fo-
reign or East India the market was dull, but there was no
alteration in prices. There is no alteration in Coffee this
afternoon ; Ceylon nominally 58s. The total deliveries of
Coffee from the warehouses for the week ending sth Decem-
ber are 165,5181b5. of West India, and 102,5301b5. of East
India.
COCOA.—The total deliveries of West India Cocoa from
the warehouses for the week ending sth December are
9,689 lbs.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND-There has been a great
deal of business done in Jamaica Rums at gradually advancing
prices, it is now considerably higher in proportion than Lee-
ward Island Rum; the latter will in consequence probably
attract more attention, there being little Jamaica left in first
hands; the rise in the prices of Jamaica Rum lately has been
from the lowest point of the market about 6d. per gallon.
whilst Leewards have not improved id. per gallon. In
Brandy the transactions are very extensive, chiefly the best
marks of Cognac and also Bordeaux, the best marks of the for-
mer 3s. Bd. to 3s. 10d, which a few weeks ago might have
been purchased at 3s. 2d. In Geneva there is no alteration
The speculation in Brandy is entirely confined to the three
best marks, by eminent French houses • the rise in Cognac is
as we have stated, about 6d. per gallon, and Bordeaux 2d.
per gallon.
TALLOW.—We were perfectly right respecting the vessels
in the Baltic, they will not get away in any numbers this year,
the dates being to the 22d ult., and the frost very severe, but
they will be ready to start early in the spring, and 40,000 casks
may be expected on the opening of the navigation. The Tal-
low market here has improved about 25., the price on 'Change
yesterday being 445. to 445. 3d., the sales are very consider-
able ; the demand by the trade being extensive, as is usual at
this season of the year, and the manufacturers being out of
their usual stocks. . _

HOPS.—The prices have advanced 4s. per cwt. since this
day week. _ . .

--011,;.1In the Oil market them is no alteration, the busi.
ness doing is very limited ; sales of Southern at 401. a 421.
TOBACCO.—A cargo of Kentucky has been sold at 54d. to
6d.
SALTPETRE.--There is more enquiry after Saltpetre, arising
from its being at a low price, and being more susceptible of a
sudden and great rise than any other article, in case hostilities
should take place ; the prices are rather higher.
COTTON.—The Cotton Market remains in a very depressed
state ; there are no sales worth reporting ; the prices are rather
higher.
SPICES.—There is very little doing in spices.

Spices sold this afternoon all lower; '126 bags dark Su-
matra Pepper, 40. ; 284 chests Cloves, Sincapore, 91d. ;
Bourbon, 84d. and 9d. ; 766 chests Cassia Lignea, 58s. a
58s. 6d. ; mouldy, 555. 6d. ; the latter nearly former prices;
219 chests Sago taken in, 14s. a 15s.
FRU' r.—The Fruit at public sale this day was mostly taken
in, 8,940 drums new Turkey pulled Figs at 50s. a 525. the
