MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

_ .
The prospects of war would have an enlivening effect on
all descriptions of Colonial produce, and on commerce ge-
nerally, making England the warehouse of the world, as
in former wais, but there is an opinion that hostilities will
be of short duration, when the reaction would be fearful;
yet, with all these considerations, we think we can perceive
an inclination to speculate on the rise of prices of West
and East India produce, and a general revival of the com-
merce of the country.

SUGAR.—The demand for Muscovades during the last
week was languid ; the estimated sales did not exceed
2,600 hhds. and trcs. ; the prices were, however, fully
supported. The purchases this day are 800 hhds. and
trcs. The Market is firm. The stock of West India
Sugar is now 36,812 hhds. and trcs., which is 10 996
less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is 67,588 bags
being 22,968 less than last year. The delivery of West India
Sugar is 2,653 hhds. and trcs., being 168 less than last
year. The delivery of Mauritius 4,651 bags, being 3,745
less than the corresponding week of 1831. In the Refined
Market there were more inquiries last week, particularly
for export; common packing lumps on board 265. 6d.
and 275., crashed on board 30s. This afternoon there is
little alteration in the Refined Market.

EAST INDIA SUGARS...—III East .India Sugars there is
no alteration.

MAURITIUS SUGARS.—The quantity of Mauritius Su-
gar brought forward has been too extensive for the de-
mand ; the consequence has been a small decline in the
prices; brown 495. 6d. a 515., the yellow sold more freely,
and commanded the previous prices. This day's public
sale, 1,094 bags Mauritius Sugar went off freely at full
prices.

WEST INDIA MOLASSES. —The quotations are 265. a
28s. ; Sr. Lucia sold to-day at 275. 6d.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—There are no inquiries for Foreign
Sugar by private contract. At public sale on Friday 121
boxes Havannah Sugar were brought forward, the sound
white was taken in 335. a 345., the damaged, which the
sale principally consisted of, sold Is. a ls. 6d. higher than
the last sale. Average price of Sugar 1/. Bs. 6,1. per cwt.
COFFEE.—We stated on Tuesday last that there was
the appearance of an improving demand for Coffee, which
increased during the week, and at the public sale of Friday
prices ls. higher were obtained ; 487 bags good ord. Ha.
vannah 535. 6d., coloury 559. ; the offers made by private
contract and refused were 525. 6d. for good ord. St. Do-
mingo ; good ord. Ceylon 519. The British Plantation
Coffee at public sale sold heavily ; the good qualities sup-
ported prices ; the ord. and unclean, being pressed upon
the market in large parcels, sold rather lower. This day's
public sate 1,028 bags Foreign Coffee; a part of the Ha-
vannah sold, fine tine ord. at 59a., ord. 508., about I s.
higher; the Brazil was taken in, but higher offers seemed
to be made than what could have been obtained last week,
good ord. 518. The market looks firm.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS. —The holders of Rum
are very sanguine of obtaining higher prices, on account
of the probability of war, but the sales at present are not
extensive. They consist of proofs I s. 10.1. and Is.
and five under is. 9J., common quality Jamaica SO Aiio

32 over 21. Bd. and 20. 9d,, 23 to 25 over at 2a. 6
In Brandy or Geneva there is little alteration.
TALLOW.—The prices of Tallow continue very unsettliJ
on account of the political affairs of the Continent ;

on the spot, and for distant delivery 445. 9.1. a 45..
CAsIPHOR•—By public sale this day 100 tubs of Cart
phor, all withdrawn at 71., and only Si. 2s. offered.
FRUIT.—The fall we stated in the prices of Fruit 131
week occasioned most extensive sales, but upon a who)
cargo of Valentia Raisins being again ►aken off at 42i,
and the Market being pretty well cleared, the holder
would not sell under 444., which immediately checks 4
the request. The new Turkey pulled Figs go off freely 5l
50.. for inferior, and 52.. for the good ; some very fir
sold at 60s. New Muscatel Raisins, ord. to fine, 90.. 1
126.. ; Lexias 32.. a 35.. Jordan Almonds 71. 3s.

Corron.—The Cotton Market has been very dull ; tbt
sales are quite inconsiderable.

Otts.—Fish Oils, though but little doing, prices adi
supported. Seed Oils are in good demand. The busine°
done in Linseed Oil has been great, and few sellers now
without an advance on quotations : tht rise in Linseii
may be considered fully 2s. since last week; fine parceli
on the spot and to arrive have been sold at 503.
TURPENTINE.—Rough and spirits as last week.

Cingous there continues to be a steady demand. VO,
