MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of last night.)
SUGAR.—The Sugar Market in the early part of the week
was very brisk, but the demand since has slackened ; the prices
however remain very firm. The Barbadoes public sale on
Tuesday, 103 lihds., went off at former prices, 645. 6d. to
665. 6d. This afternoon the estimated sales for the week arc
2,400 hhds. and trs., still to the advantage of the seller, the
holders demanding the extreme prices of the Marker, and in no
instance submitting to any reduction to facilitate sales, but
waiting patiently till their prices are complied with, which is
sure to be submitted to the next or the following day ; low
brown Berbice to-day 60s. and nothing but dabs under that
price.
In the Refined Market the prices of fine Crushed have again
advanced ; there are now few parcels ready for sale. This
afternoon the Market is again higher—fine Crushed, which has
been selling at 41s. 6d. is now 425., and very few goods left
in the Market ; the buyers have evinced a disposition to pur-
chase for March at nearly the present prices ; Lumps to pass
the standard 835., but few sellers.
MAURITIUS.—No public sales have taken place ; a few pur-
chases are reported privately at full Market rates. The last
parcel in the importers' hands is advertised for Tuesday next,
6,500 bags.
EAST INDIA.—By public sale 125 bags Bengal sold 355. 6d.
for mid white, former prices • there is some demand for
Siams, but no parcels at Market.
FOREIGN.—The prices of yellow Havannah have advanced
ls. per cwt.: a parcel of mid. color and soft quality have been
sold at 355. The request continues, but no parcels appear for
sale, the holders having withdrawn their Sugars. for higher
prices. The sales are low soft White Bahias, 335. ; good
brown to fine yellow, 265. a 30s.
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—There have been several parcels
of Demerara of good quality sold at 305., which are higher
prices than could previously be obtained.
INDIGO.—There is no alteration in Indigo ; the quantity ad-
vertised for the 19th January, is 3,300 chests.

COFFEE.—AII descriptions of Coffee are dull ; very few pur-
chases by private contract are reported ; the fine descriptions
of Jamaica are still enquired after, but no sales to any ex-
tent have taken place. The public sale, 130 bales Mocha
and 50 bags Plantation, were all taken in, the Mocha at 635.
to (345., which was not well garbled. By public sale this

afternoon 300 bags good Ceylon sold rather freely 595* to
595. 6d., and by private contract 200 bags good ord. en'
bury Brazil sold at 525.
COFFEE FROM SIERRA LEONE.-The Lords of the Treasury
have admitted Coffee from Sierra Leone at the low duty of 67
per lb.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HotLiti,ins.--The demand for Jamaica,
Rum eotititmet, and there is none left on first hands ; the
prices are rattler higher ; the established price for .Jamaica MO'
30 over is 3s. 6d. ; Lersvards unvaried, free sellers of proofs
2s. 2d., and buyers at 2s. l d. There is not so much brisk-
ness in Brandy ; the late rise appears to have checked the
demand, but the prices are higher; Brandies of 1834 have
been sold in hhds. at 4s. and in puns. at 3s. Iod. The prices
of Geneva are rather higher; sales of pale at 2s. 2d.
TALLOW.-The expected supplies of Tallow have ninstlY
arrived, making a good supply for the season of the year;
all the ships are now in that we knew were afloat, except,
we believe, about 1,500 casks. The market has fallen about
Is. fa, with a heavy appearance; the chief sales are about
435. 6d.
Irtisu Parmsforrs.-The demand for Butter of every de-,
seription continues very good ; prices continue to advance, sn,e,
from the present appearance of the weather few holders vo"
feel disposed to sell. The consumption of Bacon in London
is small, in consequence of the low prices of fresh meat, but
as the opinion generally entertained is in favour of a consider-
able improvement after Christmas, large engagements arf
making between the cheese:mongers of London and the Irish
manufacturers for shipments in :be spring.

The imports of Butter are Irish 2,757 firks. Foreign 4,611
Bacon 505 bales.
TEA TRADE.-The Tea trade was the most respectable
London, and will be again, but some time most elapse be'
fore the new trade can assume its former regularity ; we Oar'
titularly allude to the East India Company or the Govern-
ment selling their stocks, where Tea is refused at one sale at
a price, it is put up the next without reserve ; and as long &&
this system continues, the capitalist will decline embarking ir)
large investments, at whatever may be the market price.
SALES OF TEA.-The private trade Teas which commence('
on Monday closed this afternoon, they consisted of 40,0
packages, about 17,500 have found buyers; those bought
10
being chiefly common Congous; there has been very little al-
teration in the quotations since Tuesday ; about 2d. under the
Company's sale for Congous, viz, from Is. id. up to 2s. 9c1.;
Twankays Is. 44d. to 2s. 6.1 d., HysoDs 2s. 74d. to 4s. 6d.;

powder 3s. 6d. to 4s.
0n..-There is no new feature in the Oil Market, the
prices generally are unvaried. The export demand for whale
Oil is at present quite suspended. Olive Oil scarce and in
limited demand, for a cargo of Galipoli Oil afloat 58/ is de-
manded, and the same for Sicily Oil on shore.
TOBACCO.-The only purchase worth reporting is a soul
parcel of Marylands, about 80 hhds., at sd. to 7id.
WooL.-There is a brisk demand for Wool ; the prices con'
tinue very firm, and a good deal of business has been done.
RICE.-The public sale of Rice yesterday was all taken
in
at 6d. above the market value, which shows that the holders
have a good opinion of the article.
Fauir.-The quantity of Fruit brought to public auction
this week has been extensive, consisting of all descriptions
the chief part found buyers, and in some instances at improve('
prices ; new Valencia Raisins are scarce, and are held at an
advance of 2s. per cwt. ; a small parcel has been sold at tills
improvement, 48s.
Hors.-The Market is very steady ; fine Hops, both nevi
and yearlings, must, from their great scarcity, be higher;
the great bulk' of the last crop remaining unsold, being of
low and inferior description. Pri,,-bs without variation.
SALTPETRE.-The prices of Saltpetre are rather higher;
several small parcels arc reported sold privately at the improve'

ment.
SPICES._—The public sales of Pepper have consisted most
of fair quality, only a very small portion sold from 41d.
