MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

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

. ,
SUGAR—The demand for Muscovades this week has been
general and extensive, and as only a few thousand hogsheads
are on sale, the prices have been forced up 2s. a 3s. the
lowest browns in the Market are held at 51s. a 325. the loth6lC
sales of the week do not exceed 1,700 hogsheads and tierces.
The Refined Market has been in a nominal state, on accurst
of the rapid advance of the Raw Sugars; there are, however.,
few buyers of Refined, and they only offer 62e. and 635. but
the purchases reported are on the most limited scale. For ex-
portation scarcely any business has taken place, the prices
asked being much beyond the limits of the buyers ; some par,
eels of large and small Lumps have changed hands about 2s,
above the nominal prices of last week, the former having been
bought at 625., and the latter at 665. a 68s. by the home trade ;
for fine crashed 355. a:t is demanded, but there are no buyers
of this description above 30s. a 315., at which price several
large orders remain unexecuted. Molasses 265. 6d. a 275.

EAST INDIA SUGARS.—The only parcel at public sale
thii week was offered yesterday, and consisted of 199 bags Ben.
gal, which sold at steady prices ; middling to fine white froitt
265. a 275. 61, damp 255. Since last week there are no
arrivals. The sales today, 1,147 bags East India, chiefly da-
maged, were sold at full prices.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—There has only been one small pub-
lic tale since our last, which consisted of 79 boxes yellow Ha-
vannah ; this small parcel did not draw much attention, and
the prices paid were about Is. under previous transactions, mid.
filing to good strong yellow selling from lls. a 245. 6d. ; for
white Havannah, as well as Brazils, there is still a good demand,
and about 1,500 boxes of the former have been sold from 28s. *
365. for low to good quality; 1,500 boxes white Havannah arc
advertised for Friday, the t.).-Id inst. This day's sale of Havan.
nah Sugar, 150 chests, sold at former prices, 545. for the fine
white.

WEST INDIA MOLASSES.—There are sales of good De-
merara Molasses at 265., and this evening %s. Gd. a 275. paid.
COFFER—The Coffee Market has been apparently heavy,
and the quantity brought forward at public sale has been chief_
ly taken in, yet after the sale yesterday of 4,006 bags Batavia, a
considerable proportion was disposed of at 545., which is at full
Market prices ; Jamaica descriptions are again Is. a 2s. higher ;
coloury St. Domingo and Brazil have been sold in large parcels
at 565., a few lots 5Gs. tid. There has been a general improve-
ment in this article, commencing from last Saturday,
when 400 bags good St. Domingo brought 565., being
Is. Gd. higher than could have been obtained about a
fortnight previously. Some parcels of Brazils have also
changed hands privately at a similar advance. The public
sales consisted of 81 casks, 147 bags British Plantation, 1,290 bags
foreign, and 4,006 bags East India ; Jamaica good ordinary sold
from 82s. to 84s. ; Dominica triage 78s. a &Is., fine ordinary
825., middling 87s. a Shy. ; Berbice, middling 888., good mid-
dling 935., being about 2s. dearer ; St. Domingo coloury good
ordinary sold from 565. a 56e. 6d. ; Batavia was bought from
.545. to 545. Gd., and partly sold after the sale at the taking.in
prices : first class damaged sold from 51s. to 525. ; second class,
48s. a 51s. Gd Late accounts received from the Continent
being of an encouraging nature, it is very probable that the
present improving state of the Market will be supported. The
arrivals only bring 539 bags foreign. This day's sales 631 bags
Brazil, of an uncommon good quality, sold 5Gs. a 58s. for fine
ordinary coloury, and 625. for ex ra fine. 1,147 bags East India
also sold Is. a Is. 6d. higher.
RUM, BRANDY, axis HOLLANDS.—The Rum Market
is still very brisk, and a further advance of Id. per gallon ob-
tained ; proof Leewards Is. 7d., asd no large purchases could
even be made at that price ; Jamaicas, from the lowest point,
are 2d. and 4d. per gallon higher, and yesterday the chief de-
mand was for the latter, on account of the reduced stock of
Leewards. In Brandy or Geneva there is little variation.
TALLOW.—The Tallow Market has been very heavy all
the week, arid the prices are again rather lower.

TOBACCO.—The sales of Tobacco are confined to the home
trade.
INDIGO.—The Indigo Market is very firm, but there is not
quite so much business doing, as the brokers are engaged in in_
spectir g the samples of the next East India salt, which are
chiefly of the good and fine qualities ; the sale is not expected
to exceed 3,5U0 chests.

SILK.—On account of Government not coming to any de.
termination, we cannot quote any alteration since our lad.
FRUIT.—Some extensive sales of red Smyrna Raisins have
been made at about the quotations, which are Is. lower than
last week ; Eleme Raisins also (in barrels and drums), just ar-
rived, have been taken off freely, upw&rds of 600 brls having
been sold at the quotatio is, 46-3. a 48s. ; in other descriptions
there is no alteration.
RlCK—Rice is without alteration.

SPlCES.—Spices continue much inquired after, particularly
Pepper ; the prices are higher.
