MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of last night.)
The Gazette contains an official notice that the ports of
Whitehaven and Waterford are open for East India goods,
with the exception of Tea; the latter will be admitted after Ist
July, 1836.
SUGAR.—Tbe Sugar market continues to attract great at-
tention from the late great rise in the prices, the large imports
(16,000 hhds. and trs.) last week, and the official contradic-
tion of the reported monstrous deficiencies in the crop in Ja-
maica. The stock of West India Sugar this week is 37,215
hhds and trs., which is 15,662 less than last year. The stock
of Mauritius is 68,246 bags, being 16,324 less than last year.
The delivery of West India was 2,899 hhds. and trs., being
12 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 3,674 bags,
which is 232 less than the corresponding week of 1834. The
market last week was very dull, the sales being under 2,000
hhds. and trs., and on Friday business was entirely suspended
by the accounts from Jamaica; yet no reduction was submit-
ted to, as no person would facilitate sales by submitting to
any general reduction in prices; the holders refer, and with
truth to the short stocks hero and all over the Continent, and
to the small supply in the hands of the country grocers, the
great increase in the consumption, occasioned by the general
prosperity of the trade and the increase of the population.
This morning there was much interest excited respecting the
opening of the market for Sugar ; the buyers were numerous,
and at an earlier hour than usual, in the expectation that the
large arrivals last week, and the intelligence from Jamaica,
would enable them to purchase on rather lower terms, but they
were disappointed; there were no sellers at any reduction in
prices, as they seem quite aware of the short stocks in London,
and that the country grocers arc also out of stock, and the lead-
ing West India houses, who are in possession of the best intelli-
gence, still insist that the ultimate supply to Europe will prove
short : the market is firm, and last week's prices have been freely
offered. The purchases are estimated at 900 hhds. and trs. ;
as the day proceeded there was a greater disposition to do
business, and at higher prices; the difference of the market is
this, that if the sellers were determined to make sales last
week they gave way 6d. per cwt, ; this afternoon there is no
such feeling ; very brown Sugars sold at 595. In addition to
our imports there are six ships reported from the West Indies
in this day's list, still very light ships, averaging about 196
hhds. and trs. each, and the ships short are in some instances
vessels under the care of the very first houses in the island,
and if Sugars were to be had, the interest of the firm would

have been sure of procuring the shipments of Sugar.
Refined market there were few sales last week; Lamps were
offered at 845., and fine crushed on board at 435. Refined
goods this afternoon continued heavy, on account of the
second-hand parcels pressing upon. the market ; fine crushed
435., and ill some instances reported a shade lower.

tion to go into stock.

vinces is large, but the trade are at present full stocked. The
deliveries from the warehouses for the week ending 19th inst.
for home consumption 801,4151b5.
RUIII, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS. -The Rum market remains
nearly in a nominal state, the holders being very firm, and will
submit to RO reduction in prices, and the buyers holding off from
purchasing in the expectation of lower prices and large sup-
plies. In Brandy and Geneva there is no new feature. It is
stated that a parcel of 100 puns. Leeward Island Rum, proofs,
have been sold 2s. 1,12-d.
limn PnovrsioNs.-The Butter market is very flat. There
is nothing doing in Bacon.
INDIGO.-There continues to be a considerable demand both
for home consumption and export ,at the late prices, but they
are inconsiderable in extent. The deliveries from the ware-
houses for the week ending 19th inst. for home consumption
35,0121b5. The inquiries this afternoon rather increase, and
shipping qualities 4s. 9d. to ss. 6d. are scarce. The quantity
declared for sale Oct. 20th above 7,000 chests, and expected
still to be increased.

COCHINEAL.—By public sale this day 46 bags Honduras
Cochineal, chiefly silvers, sold at former prices, 6s. lid. to
7s. 4d.

COTTON.—The accounts from Liverpool are very unfavour-
able for Cotton. The sales last week were about 12,000 bags ;
the Boweds id., other descriptions id. lower. The market
here is in a languid state; no sales since Friday worth report-
ing, and the heaviness will probably continue till 'Friday next,
when the large public sales will take place.
SlLK.—There is no business worthy of notice doing in the
Silk Market, but there appears a greater firmness in the prices.
Bengal and China Silks have undergone no change.
Wool.—There is but little change in the Market since the
public sales—prices are firm.
ToaAcco.--The only purchase of any extent reported, is a
cargo of Virginia, a half-passed and a half-rejected Tobacco ;
we believe about 355. per 1001 b., manifest weight.
FRUlT.—There is little doing in the market ; Currants and
red Smyrna Raisins continue to be inquired after. The first
fruit ship arrived this morning (a French vessel from Bor-
deaux) with Plums.

TURPENTINE.—There is no alteration in Rough Turpen-
tine, Iss. is the nearest quotation,
01Ls.—All descriptions of common Oils are very scarce
arid dearer this week. The accounts from the Straits are now
very anxiously looked for. In Rape Oil there has been con-
siderable business done; pale at 505., brown at 485., which
is Is. higher. Linseed Oil dull and drooping. Olive Oils
are improving.

Worcester fair on Saturday was brisk; about 2,000 pockets
sold, ex 2,400 pitched. About the same quantity of Sussex
pockets sold at the fair. The duty remains at 255,000/.
Sussex pockets, 845.. to 905.; Weald Kent, 848. to 925.;
