MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR. -The demand for Muscovades this week has
' been languid, but the prices have not given way; the to-
tal estimates of the sales this week are 2,800 hhds. and
tres. In the Refined Market there has been little business
this week, and the dull state of trade has also been affected
• by tha unfavourable reports from the Hanse Towns. This
afternoon refined sugars of all descriptions are in very limi-
ted demand, and the little business done has been at lower
prices, the grocers at the present time having very little
inquiry for the fine descriptions, while the continued un-
favourable accounts from Hambro' prevent any transac-
tions of consequence taking place in the lower sorts ; the
stock on hand, however, at the present time, is only
small; for crashed there are scarcely inquiries.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.--The public sales have offered
3,678 bags Siam, and 200 baskets Manilla, which went
off at steady prices, good yellow 21s. to 225. 6d., fine
yellow 225. to 235., ordinary white 24e. to 255. 6d. , good
to fine white 266. to 275. 6d. ; Manilla brown 21s to
21s. 6d.
MAURITIUS SUGAR. -Notwithstanding the inactive
state of the Raw Market, the public sales, consisting of
8,000 bags, have gone off steadily, the whole finding buy-
ers, fine browns and low yellow from 51s. 6d. to 525.
even at an advance of 61 The quantity in first hands is
now reduced to about 9,000 bags, and the present stock
being 52,000 bags less that last year, together with the
circumstance of no immediate arrivals of any magnitude
being looked for by the principal importers, will naturally
keep up, if not advance the price of this article. The fol-
lowing are the particulars of the sales :-Very ordinary
brown (only 20 bags) 565. 6d., middling to fine brown
51s. to 525., low yellow 51s. 6d. to 525., middling yel-
low 525. 6d. to 535., fine yellow 545. to 555. 6d., mid-
dling gray 525. to 525. 6d., good strong gray 545. to
541. 6d.-270 bags of the above were for exportation
only ; very ordinary brown, almost black, sold at 18s. 6d.
good grayish brown 21s. 6d. to 225., fine fine brown 235.
to 245., low yellow 235. washed of the above from 18s. to
22.. Since our last there are no arrivals.
FOREIGN SUGAR.-This Market continues without any
activity, and as the public sales have been of no extent,
the prices remain nominally the same. 107 boxes Ha-
vannah and 61 chests Brazil were put up to auction last
Tuesday, but the chief part of them bought in; Havan-
na!), good white, rather soft, from 355. to 365. ; Bahia,
ordinary to good white, 255. 6d. to 27e. The arrivals
consist of 138 chests Brazil. This day, at public sale, a
small parcel of Para Muscovades, good strong yellow, sold
at 21s.

COFFEE.-The Coffee Market has been very dull this
week, and a considerable proportion of the public sales
have been taken in; where sales have been forced, in the
languid state of the trade, a decline of Is. per cwt. has
been submitted to. The public sales consisted of 753
casks 180 barrels British Plantation, 1,870 bags Foreign,
about 1,200 East India and 250 bales Mocha ; about one
half of the British Plantation has been taken in, the hol-
ders looking for the former highest prices of the Market,
good to fine ord. Jamaica 80s. to 845., nearly former
prices for the proportion sold ; Dominica sold Is. a 18.6 d.
lower, fine ord. 81s. and 82s. ; 500 bags St. Domingo,
good quality, were taken in at 635., for which 61s. 6d.
was bid, good ord. previously sold at 625. ; 600 bags
Havannah sold, good to fine ord. 645. a 695., mid.
up to 735. 6d. ; ord. brown Sumatra sold at 555.
and 565., and good ord. 575. 6d. and 595. ; good
ord. Batavia and Ceylon 595. a 625., ord. to good ord.
Havannah 71s. a 795. By private contract 3,000 bags
Ceylon sold at 60s. This day's public sales consisted of
4 385 bags Brazil, good quality, nearly the whole was
taken in at 618., good fine 655., Is. a ls. 6d. lower; the
Market remains in the same state, the holders not giving
way, and the buyers refusing to purchase, except at a re-
duction ; 47 casks 322 bags Havannah all sold I &Power ;
155 casks Briti4i. Plantation at former prices for the pro-
portion sold. Since the sale large parcels Brazil sold at
nearly former prices.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND9.-The Ruin market
has been rather dull all the week ; the late advance of 3d.
to 4d. per gallon in Jamaica has prevented the trade from
purchasing, as they will not submit to the advance, and in
Leewards there has been little done, on account of the Go-
vernment contract ; it was concluded yesterday for about
1,200 puns, under is. 7d. per gal, since which no pur-
chases are reported. Brandy is very heavy, and for Geneva
there is no market.

TALLow.—The price of yellow candle Tallow has ad-
vanced to 425. but there is little business.
INDIGO.—The East India House sale commenced on
Tuesday; it consisted of 7,419 chests, of which 729 were
withdrawn previously to the commencement of the sale,
the good and fine qualities sold 3d. to 4d. under last sale;
the mid. and good at last sale's prices, the ordinary a shads
higher, since which the good and fine have gone off at a
further small reduction ; the Madras heavy at from last

sale's prices to 3d. discount. Fourth day-3,694 chests
have now passed the sale, of which about 100 have been
taken in. There is no alteratio❑ in the rates of the pre-
vious day's sale ; Indigoes continue to sell with little ani-
mation at 4d. a 6d. under the prices of last sale. The qua-
lities uncle' 4s. are selling with great spirit at full last sale's
prices.

FRUIT.-There continues to be very little doing. The
holders of Currants have been kept in suspense lately, in
consequence of its being reported that some alteration in
the duty was contemplated; it is expected, however, to be
decided this week.
SALTPETRE.—The extensive speculation in Saltpetre
continues—refraction five so' at 31s. 6d. and 325. This
day's public sales, 258 bags of Saltpetre, 14 and 15 refrac-
