MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.
(From the London New Price Cnrrent.)
SUGAR.-The demand for West India Muscovados last week was
general and extensive, and the sales were large for the small shew
at market, they were estimated at 2,500 hhds. and trs., the prices
were a shade higher, that is to say, that the turn of the market was
decidedly in favour of the seller, but not of such a marked character
as to warrant us in altering the quotations. The estimated sales
this day 500 hhds. and trs., the prices unvaried. The stock of
West India is now 18,392 hhds. and trs., being 5,033 more than
last year. The stock of Mauritius 89,704 bags, being 6,444 less
than last year. The delivery of West India '2,670 hhds. and trs.,
being 718 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 6,401
bags, being 2,801 less than the corresponding week of 1834. In
Refined there were few sales, on account of the small supply, the
prices were fully supported, and such was the firmness of the sellers
that few fine crashed could be bought under 345.
MAURITIUS.-The public sale of Mauritius on Friday, nearly
4,000 bags went off with briskness, 6d. per cwt higher, yellow and
gray 535. a 595. This day by public sale 3,042 bags Mauritius
Sugar sold freely, the coloury sorts again rather dearer : low to mid.
yellow 545. a 575., grey 525. 6d. a 555.
EAST INDIA.---1 he only sales of any extent last week were 1,300
bags Java and Siams, which sold rather higher, the latter white
275. a 28s. 6d., brown and yellow Java 255. a 275. This days
public sale 940 bags Bengal, the sound 30s. a 30s. 6d., rather
lower, the damaged 275. 6d. a 295.
Foam s.-The enquiries after Havannah Sugar continued last
week, a cargo of yellow 1,600 boxes of the new crop expected in
the Channel in a few dais, was sold for Antwerp at 295., the other
purchases by private contract, consisted of 200 boxes yellow at 295.
and 160 chests, low white at 325. Average price of Sugar
Ti. 10s. 44d. per cwt.
COFFEE.-'The late advance in the price of Coffee is steadily
maintained, and in Ceylon and in Brazil there is a further improve-
Ment of Is. per cwt., Ceylon 575. a 585., good ord. Brazil 545. a
555., fine ord. 565. a 575., fine fine ord. Hs. 6d., the other East
India and Foreign without alteration. The British Plantation de-

green Samarang 48s. and 495. ; 112 bales Ceylon or ord. Mocha
58s. 6d. a 60s. 6d.

COCOA.—There is some demand for Cocoa, a considerable parcel
of Brazil sold this afternoon at 295.

RUM, BRANDY, HOLLA ?sm.—Agreeably to what we stated in
our Price Current on Tuesday last, the Government contract ap-
peared on the Wednesday, it had a contrary effect to what was an-
ticipated, it is unfavourable, the prices of Rum are rather lower,
proof Leewards about 2s. 2d., Jamaica 30 to 37 over 3s. a 3s. 3d.
In Brandy and Geneva there is no alteration. The only sales this
day are parcels of Demerara 37 and 42 over 3s. ld. a 3s. 2d.
T A LLOW. —The Tallow market is little varied in price, it re-
mains very heavy.
IRISH Puovisioszs.—There is very little business doing in the
Beef and Pork market, and the prices remain without fluctuation.
India Beef 61. 2s. 6d. ; Mess do. 51. ss. per tierce; Mess Pork
525. 6d. a 555. per brl. ; New India Pork 955. per tierce. As we
anticipated, the Butter market having experienced so rapid an ad-
vance, has caused the country buyers as well as the London Cheese-
mongers to purchase so very sparingly, that the holders begin to be
alarmed ; and as the markets are so abundantly supplied with fresh,
a strong desire is manifested to get out of stock, the result is that
prices are merely nominal. The Bacon market is also in a stag-
nated state ; the sanguine disposition of the Irish always leads them
to give an advance of twice as much for Pigs as the increased value
of Bacon in the London markets, the prices now paid for Pigs will
not allow the manufacturer to ship under 38s. per cwt on board,
while 345. a 355. per cwt landed is the highest that can be obtained,
although the expense of bringing it averages 2s. per cwt . Lard
continues much the same as last week. Our Stocks and Deliveries
are estimated as follows :

1834 40,000 firks 6,832 firks 18,200 bales 2689 bales

Wool Market, chiefly in the low qualities for exportation, and the

commencement of the year.
Sit.x.—The Market still continues in a very dull state, but prices
are well maintained.

TEA.-The Tea Market is in a state of complete stagnation,
owing to the arrivals, and above 14,000 chests being already adver-
