MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of last evening.)
SUGAR.—In the early part of the week there was a great
heaviness in the Sugar market; prices in several instances
gave way 6d. per cwt. ; yesterday, however, there was a great
revival in the demand, and about 1,500 hhds. and trs. sold at
the former full market prices, and the buyers continued pur-
chasing up till a late hour ; the estimated sales for the week
were 4,200 hhds. and trs. The prices may be considered Is.
per cwt. higher than on this day week. The Refined market
has continued in a very depressed state all the week at a ge-
neral reduction of ls. per cwt. The Refined Market conti-
nues dull this afternoon at the reduction we have stated, 81s.
for Lumps to pass the standard, 40s. for crashed, and 395. for
packing. We have stated the lowest prices at which the Re-
fined sold this afternoon, but the general currency must be
considered Is. higher.
MAURITIUS.—In the absence of public sales no purchases by
private contract are reparted.
EAST INDIA.—At public sales 3,972 bags Manilla were
offered; only about one fourth sold, brown to fair yellow 275.
to 295., one lot good grey brought 295. 6d. ; also 170 bags
Siam, a very ord. parcel, sold 20s. to 245. ; prices are now
about Is. to Is. 6d. lower than the late highest point of the
market.
FOREIGN.—The prices of Foreign Sugar are nominally the
same as last week, no public sales having been brought for-
ward. Nothing done privately.
Extract of a letter from the Havannah, dated 4th Sept. :

" The shipments of Sugar last month have been of consider-
able extent, and browns and yellows although at times they
appear to decline, are still at 265. 3d. to 295. 9d. on board ;
whites 335. sd. to 335. 10d. The weather is favourable for
the cane fields. The stocks remaining for shipment are esti-
mated at 42,000 boxes, and at Matanzas 13,000 ; the great
proportion is damp and soft grain. The new Coffee crop pro-
mises to be a fair average."
WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—There is a large parcel of Gre-
nada Molasses reported at 265., which makes th• best quality
in the market about 28s.

COFFEE.—The British Plantation market has been very
heavy. At auction 264 casks and 46 barrels, chiefly Jamaica
description of ord. and unclean quality, about one half of
the quantity brought forward was taken in at prices fully equal
to those obtained previous to the sale ; the few lots of mid
quality which were sold obtained an advance of Is. to 2s. per
cwt. But little business has been done in East India Coffee;
prices are nominally the same. The Foreign market has been
very dull this week, and in consequence of the receipt of un-
favourable accounts from Hamburg and Holland, the depression
has very much increased; nothing has been brought forward
publicly; yesterday 2,000 bags coloury Brazil sold privately
at 565., the chief proportion for St. Petersburgh ; also a parcel
of Havannah of coloury quality from 565. to 58s.
By public sale this afternoon 92 bags Ceylon, fine qualify
sold at 675. 6d., very full prices; 157 bales Mocha 68s. 6d. to
715., rather lower; 29 casks Jamaica, very unclean 82s. 6d.
CocoA.—•No sales publicly or by private contract in British
Plantation Cocoa. In Foreign the prices of Brazil are firmly
supported, in consequence of some unfavourable intelligence
having been received from Para.
This afternoon 40s. has been paid for Brazil Cocoa, but the
quantity is too inconsiderable to constitute a market currency.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There is more firmness in
this market, and more business has been done. No Jamaicas,
30 per cent., now to be had under 3s. 3d. ; Leewards realize
2s. 3d. for 5 per cent. over proof; Demerara of good quality
2s. I Id. to 35., 27 to 30 over; one parcel of Jamaica 28 over
reported at 3s. 2d. per gallon. Brandy very firm, and rather
higher on account of the unfavourable reports of the vintage.
In Geneva there is an advance of Id. per gallon.
A parcel of Leeward Rum, 5 over, sold this afternoon at
2s. 3d.
TURPENTINE.—There are no arrivals of Rough Turpentine,
nor any parcels on the market, consequently there is no altera-
tion in the price. There has been a speculative demand for
Spirits which has caused the price to advance to 655.
TALLOW.—The Tallow market remains very heavy ; the late
sales are 425. 9d. to 435. for parcels on the spot, and about
425. for arrival ; for parcels to be delivered the end of next
year, some business is reported at 445.
WooL.—There is no alteration in Wool ; a trifling busi-
ness is doing in German descriptions, but at unvaried prices.
The quantity of Colonial Wool to be brought forward by
auction early in November has been increased to 3,200 bales.
SILK.—No new feature to notice in the Silk market until
the commencement of the East India House sale on Monday.
SPICES.—Very little business doing in Pepper, owing to
the holders continuing to demand very high prices ; but few
buyers appear in the market. Pimento is firm in price; at
public sale 382 bags of good ord. quality sold readily at the
former currency. The public sales of Cassia Lignea have
consisted chiefly of very uneven and inferior quality, and sold
from 575. to 60s. 6d.

•
The Pimento at public sale this afternoon, 206 bags, sold
rather lower ; good qualities, 44d. to 4ad. 80 bags of Pep-
per, Batcally, barely heavy, 51d. ; 112 bags Malabar Pepper,
sd. Also, 1,035 bags Pepper, good light, 4d., taken in ;
heavy bright, 5-41 d. to sad. ; very fine shot, 7-P. ; 204 chests
Cassia, 595. 6d. to 60s.
NITRATE OF SODA.—Considerable purchases have been
made in this article at previous rates, owing, it is stated, to
confirmed reports having been received of the intention of the
French Government to reduce the duty.
COCIIINEAL.—At public sale 65 bags were brought forward
and sold about former rates, ord. 'to fine silvers 6s. 10d. a
7s. 5d., the mid. blacks were taken in at Bs. 3d. a Bs. 6d.
OILS.—No further accounts having been received from the

Davis Straits' Fishery, has caused the Oil Market to become
quite stationary, there being scarcely any thing doing ;
very few sellers at the present prices appear in the Market,
the trade evince a disposition to wait further intelligence from
the fishery before they transact business. Oils arc held for
much higher prices.
FRUlT.—There is but little variation in Fruit, all descrip-
tions continue in rather limited request ; new Muscatell and
Valencia Raisins go off very slowly, the former at 85s. II
1155., and the latter at 50s.
SALTPETRE.—There have been about 1,929 bags of Saltpetre
bought this week, and sold as follows,—dry white with large
chrystals slbs. refraction 275., bold whitish chrystals but rather
damp 341bs. refraction 265., dingy colour but very dry and
strong 21bs. refraction 265. ; about 1,034 bags were of very low
colour, and from 9711b5. to 3611b5. refraction sold 18s. to 215.,
a very inferior parcel and forms no guide to the market cur-
rency. Generally it may be stated the good qualities are 6d.
to Is. higher, and the whole went off with great spirit.
COTTON.—The Cotton market has been kept quite inactive
this week, chiefly owing to several sales of East India declared
for this day, consisting of 4,500 bales, which being offered at
the commencement without reserve, caused a reduction of
about Id. per lb. generally from the public sales of the 25th
ult., producing a dulness throughout, and some irregularity in
prices. Of 2,600 Surat., 1,700 sold at s.kd a 6k, very ord. to
mid. 61d a 64d, mid fair to fair, 6s'-d. a 71d. good fair to good,
and 40 very choice at 9d. a 91d. 860 Bengal, 600, 6d. a 64d.
middling. 1,020 Madras, 450, 60. a 73d. mid. to good, a
few at id. rubbish. The buying has been about equally for
export and on speculation ; a few small parcels have been
taken since the sales.
Hops.--There is no alteration to notice in Hops ; choice
Hops scarce.
HEMP.—This afternoon 120 bales Manilla Hemp, the sound
sold 28s. ss.
There is no alteration in the prices of Indigo ; there con-
tinues a steady demand for small parcels.
TEA.—This day Bohea has declined to 10d. per lb. Con-
gous are selling at Is. lid. to Is. 2d. for fair quality; black-
ish leaf, Is. 9d. to Is. 10d. ; fine and strong, 2s. to 2s. sd.

went off very steadily ; Bengal low to good white quality, sold

IN. to 6d. ; cargo Madagascar, Bs. 6d. to 9s. ;
8,52 bags
