MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the New London Price Current of last Evening.)
SUGAR.-There has been more animation in the Sugar mar-
ket this week ; the purchases are considerable, and prices may
be stated at an advance of 6d. since this day week ; the great
proportion sold has been taken by the grocers. The public
sale of Barbadoes on Tuesday went off with spirit at an ad-
vance of 6d. to ls. on the last sale, 635. to 655. 6d.
At the close of the Market this afternoon the estimated
sales were 4,000 hhds. and trs. for the week, at prices gradu-
ally advancing, and closing with much briskness at prices
from 6d. to is. per cwt. higher than on Friday last. By
public sale this afternoon. a fair parcel of St. Lucia Sugar
was brought forward, 171 hhds. 26 trs. 12 brls., the whole
sold at full prices, dark colour 585., good brown 595. a 605.,
low yellow 61s. 625. 625. 6d. There is a report of a hur-
ricane at Barbadoes on the 3d of Septemher, which is be-
lieved, but no details have reached the City ; it is feared the
young canes must have suffered severely.
In the Refined markets the prices are lower ; Lumps of
good quality to pass the standard 81s. ; large and small Lumps
are nominal ; fine Crushed on board 40s.
This afternoon there was more firmness in the Refined Mar-
lot; large parcels have been taken for export, one large par-
cel 4,000 cwt. reported at 81s. 6d., and parcels free on board
of fine crushed reported at 40s. 6d., but the general quotation
is now 82s. for Lumps to pass the standard, and 41s. for fine
crushed on beard. This afternoon there was also more doing
by the wholesale grocers in goods for home consumption, for
which higher prices were paid.
