MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of last Night.

There is little business doing in the markets, on account of
the holidays. Sugar and other principal Colonial Markets
shut yesterday afternoon, and will remain closed till the 4th of
January next. The prospects for a brisk spring trade con-
tinue, and the opinion is general that it will commence at an
early day.
SUGAR.--.There is little alteration in the Sugar Market ;
the business doing is on a limited scale, but the prices are very
firm. Yesterday afternoon the estimated purchases for the
three days of this week were 1,200 hhds. and trs. at the. ex-
treme prices, making an advance of about 6d. per cwt., the
same as in Mauritius Sugars, showing the market still forcing
its way upwards. In the Refined Market there are very few
goods on show, and the holders generally are not inclined to
sell until the next year; the advanced prices are not only
maintained, but the holders are asking a further advance.
Yesterday afternoon the Refined Market still appeared ad-
vancing, the holders asking higher prices ; free buyers of
fine Crashed at 425.
MAURITIUS.—The public sale yesterday forenoon attracted
much attention ; they were new Sugars of uncommon fine
quality ; the sale consisted of 3;753 bags of the new crop; the
lowest of the sound 635. up to 665. to 665. 6d. for fine; the
washed and shifted 625. 6d., making the highest average of
any cargo that has yet been sold, being about 645. 6d., and
the prices are on an average higher than West India Sugar by
about 6d. per csvt.
EAST INDIA.—The demand for East India Sugars has been
general and extensive, and the prices both by public sale and
private contract may be considered ls. to 2s. higher. It is re-
ported a cargo of Brazil Sugar has been sold afloat, Babies
browns at 263., whites at 345, It Was also stated yesterday

afternoon that two parcels of Manilla to arrive -at Liverpool
have been sold to London houses about 325.
FOREIGN.—The sales reported are not extensive, but gene-
rally there are few sellers of Foreign Sugars, except at ad-
vaticed priCet,
Coliqt,.--There is little alteration in Coffee"; the pur-
chases rcpt reed d British Plantation are small parcels for the
immediate wants et the. grad?. There is still some demand for
9t, Domingo Coffee, and there are buyers about 525. ; Brazil
is neglett€A, and no inquiries are made after this description.
Ceylon nomindly about 58s.
BUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Market is nearly
cleared of Leeward Island Rum ; no Jamaica offering. Brandy
rather more in demand, and prices are Id. to 2d. lower.
Small parcels of Geneva continue to go off at 2s. Id. to

2s. 2d.
TALLOW.—The Tallow Market was rather firmer yesterday
afternoon, and the prices a shade higher.
'the Wool Market there is but little alteration
since the public sales of last week ; prices are firm.
SILIC..—The prices of Silk are still firmly supported, but
the business doing is to no great extent, on account of the
dull season of the year.
CorroN.—The Cotton Market continues very heavy, and
the few purchases reported are at lower prices. The accounts
from Liverpool are equally unfavourable. The sales this
week consist of 230 Surat, mid. to good fair 51d. a 7d. ;
170 Madras, ord. to good fair 54d. a 61d. ; 40 West

India, good fair 9d.
FRUIT.—The only purchase worth noticing in Fruit is a
cargo of Chesmo Raisins at 435., the only parcel in the mar-
ket. The demand for Fruit generally is very extensive.
TOBACCO.—There is nothing to report in Tobacco.
INDlGO.—'There is still business doing in Indigo, but the
purchases are limited as to quantity at last sale's prices.
OILS.—The arrival of the Duncombe from the Strait's
fishery early in the week, bringing accounts of the release of
six more vessels from the ice, and the probability of the re-
mainder getting away, has produced no effect upon the mar-
ket; prices are without alteration, and very little doing. Seal
Oil has been in demand, and rather higher in price.
SPICES.—There are no sales of Pimento or Pepper to any
extent reported. Cassia Lignea at public sale, the sound sold
58s. 6d.

continue.
