MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—The Sugar Market has been heavy all the
week, but no reduction in the prices can be stated. There
is a continued firmness, notwithstanding the general
languid state of the trade. For coloury Sugars in many
instances rather higher rates have been obtained. The
estimated sales of Sugar this week are 2,600 Mids. and
trs. In the Refined Market there is little claange is notice.
At the close of the Market this evening for the Hamburg
trade there has been rather more business doing in com-
mon packing Lumps at 6ls. a 61s. 6d., or 265. 6d. a
275. on hoard, and the Market is now nearly cleared of
these descriptions. For crashing several parcels have also
been bought at 705., being about 30s. on board. Mid-
dling goods for melting have been bought from 6 ts. a
665., being about Is. higher.
EAST INDIA SUGARS.—In East India Sugars there are
no sales whatever. The prices remain numinally the
same as last week.

MAURITIUS SUGAR.—The public sales of Mauritius
Sugar have been nearly 11,000 bags, the consequence
has been a heavy market, and the prices are a shade
lower, brown selling at 495. 6d. a 515., the yellow 525.
a 550. ; the latter sold higher in proportion than the
brown.

FOREIGN SUGAR.—In the present languid state of
trade no public sales have been attempted, and there are
no purchases by private contract reported. This day's
public sale 121 boxes Havannab, mostly damaged, the
latter sold Is. a is. 6d. higher, the sound white was
taken iu at 335. a 345. _

COFFEE)-The Coffee Market remains in a very languid
state, but there are still inquiries for Coffee by private con-
tract, particularly for East India descriptions and for St.
.Domingo; the offers made have been at a small reduction
in the prices, and they have been rejected. The public sales
this week have gone off heavily and rather lower,and a con-
siderable proportion of the quantity offered has been with-
drawn ; the ord. and rank descriptions of British Planta-
tion are particularly heavy. This evening the holders in
general seem not much inclined to listen to the prices to
which the buyers are limited; 525. 6d. has been refused
for a small parcel of St. Domingo, good ordinary; and
for fine ordinary Havannah 538 , and good ordinary Cey-
lon 51s. has been offered and refused. The public sales
since our last consisted of 696 casks, 111 barrels, 232
bags British Plantation, 20 bales 65 bags Mocha, which
went as follows :—Jamaica, not clean, good ordinary
68s. 6d. a 71s. 6d., clean fine ordinary 765. 6d. a 78a.,
fine fine ordinary 60s. a Sls., middling 810. ; Dominica,

fine ordinary 7415. 6d. a 755. 6d. ; Demerara, good mid-
dling clean 858. a 86g. ; Berbice, middling 84s a 85s. Cid.,
good middling 86s. 6d. a 87s. 6d. ; the Mocha was of a
good fair quality, and bought in at 705., and a small parcel
of small round berry at 80s. Only 1,506 bags Batavia
Coffee have been reported at the Custom-house. This
day's public sale 487 bags Havannalt Coffee, good ord.
brownish 535. 641., good ord. coloury 555., sold about Is.
higher. _ _ _

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The Rum Market
continues steady; the late advance has checked the de—
mand, yet the holders are firm, and expect much higher
prices, on account of the prospects of war. In Brandy or
Geneva there is little alteration. The purchases of Rum
which have transpired this afternoon are proofs at Is. 10d.,
and for which Is. 10,}d. is now asked, under proofs Is. 9d.,
common quality Jamaica, 30 to 32 cver, 2s. Bd. a 2s. 9d.
on shore, 23 to 25 over offered at 2s. 6d.

TALLOW.-The Tallow Market continues subject to
much fluctuation, on account of the unsettled state of poli-
tical affairs ; the price of Tallow from 435. 6d. fell last
week to 425. tid., and again rallied to the former quotation.
COTTON.—The Cotton Market has been very steady in
price, but the trade is still very dull. The purchases for
the week are too trivial for insertion.

SA LTPETRE. —The advance of prices at the India House
on Tuesday last is maintained ; for British Refined 425. is
now asked.

SPICES. —There are more inquiries after Pimento ;
good quality 5d., mid. bas been sold at 4id. and 44d.

a 12s. ; white Bengal 14s. ; Carolina 365. a 38..
FM/IL—The sales of new Valentia Raisins at the end
of last week were very extensive at the reduced price of
425., and another cargo was divided at the beginning of
this week at the same price; there is, however, only a
very small quantity now remaining in the importers' hands,
and they have since demanded 445., at which there does
not appear to have been any thing done at present; a
parcel of 500 barrels new red Smyrna Raisins, of inferior
description, was brought forward by public sale on Friday
last, the whole was bought in ; by private contract a few
barrels of rather better quality have been sold at 421.
