MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Friday night.)
SUGAR.—The Sugar market early in the week was brisk,
the sales general and extensive, and the prices ls. higher ;
no browns under 585., and Jamaica brown sold at 60s. The
market has since become rather heavy, but the prices are fully
supported. The estimated sales for the week 2,500 hhds.
and trs. It ought, however, to be mentioned, that about a
half were sold on Tuesday ; there has been a pause in the
demand since. The market for the last three days has been
very dull, but the former prices are fully supported. The im-
portation up to 31st ult. of British Plantation Sugar has fallen
off in about the same proportion as the stock, and the deli-
veries for home consumption have slightly increased.. In
the Refined market there was great bustle early in the
week, in the anticipation of higher prices, on account of the
hopes entertained that they will be permitted entry into Russia
upon favourable terms; we stated on Friday last that all the
parcels offering in.the market were withdrawn from sale in the
expectation of higher prices, the rise took place on Tuesday,
about 1200 casks of crushed sold at 45s - and 465., and as the
grocers also came freely to purchase Lumps at the long price,
88s. to 90s. were paid, equal to 475. and 495. short price en
board., There is a stop in the demand for Refined this
morning', on account of the unfavourable state of the raw
market, and also ,that the report of Crushed being admitted
into Russia is, if net refused, delayed ; but there are no goods
pressing on the market for sale, all parcels to be ready for
some weeks being contracted for.
Mautirrius.—There were no public sales last week of Mau-
ritius Sugar, but the holders were asking prices Is. to 2s. ad-
vance on the last public sale. The import, up to the 31st
ult., has decreased 20,000 bags, and the stock is also 27,000
bags less than at this period in 1834.
EAST INDlA.—There are no sales of consequence to report ;
the East India Sugars are held with much confidence for
higher prices. The import, up to the 31st ult., has exceeded
that of last year by 56,000 packs, and the deliveries for export
have also considerably increased, which reduces our stock to
31,00(1 peeks. against 37,000 packs in 1834, the bulk of which
' consists of Manilla and Bengal.
FOREIGN—By public sale 300 boxes brown and yellow Ha-
' vannah of strong descriptions were put to public sale, and went
off Is. to Is. 6d. higher than previous prices 335. to 365. 6d ;
the latter fine and strong yellow. The importation up to the
31st ultimo of both Havannah and Brazil has fallen short
nearly one half, so have likewise the deliveries for expcm, And
the present stock is 7,600 boxes of Havannab against 23,000
boxes same time last year, and that of Brapl ;93,c:bests against
5,300 chests.
`VEST INIAA Moir,assEs,.-7-By private contract good quality

28s. to 28s. 6d. By public sale this day SO puns. Demerara, ,
newly landed, rather thin, sold 265. 6d. to 275.
Come.-There has been a considerable business in Fo-
reign Coffee at former prices; Brazil fine ord 569. and Vs.,
St. Domingo at 565., fine clean garbled Mocha 745. to 765. ;
there have been such extensive sales of Ceylon lately for home
consumption that the stock has considerably decreased. In
British Plantation and other descriptions of Coffee there ii
no alteration. The import of Foreign and East India Co&e
to the 31st ultimo has considerably fallen off, particularly
that of Foreign, the stock of which is 12.000 bags lets than
at this period last year. The whole deficiency in the stotla
of Coffee is 2,400 tons compared with last year. The public
sales this day were too inconsiderable to constitute a market
price ; they consisted of 457 bags 5 casks Jamaica and Deme.
rara, sold at very high prices.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HoLLANDs.--There are few parcels
of Rum to report; the orders for export are limited to prices
under the present currency ; the holders are firm, and will
not sell at any reduction. There is more inquire for Brandy.
Hollands also are more inquired after, and 25..12d. per gallea
has been paid for pale Geneva. The i,!..el.e(a-talion of Runs to
the 31st ultimo has decreased 7,000 PP.tts., :tud the deliveries,
both for home consumption as wee.. as for export, have con-
siderably increased, which le"eves a deficiency in the stock of
nearly 4,000 puns.
TALLOW.-Tbk's market has been- rather dull, but the late
prices are Pearly supported. It is stated that the hon.c sup-
ply is larger than has been anticipated, the late great drought
being confined to the southern counties of England ; that the
cattle districts have had nearly the. usual supplies of rain,-.
and that the country manufacturers arelanderselling the Lon-
don houses by about 2d. per lb. in Candles ; if the latter is
true it is a new and strong feature, and 'shows rather an in-
creased home supply.
SALTPETRE.-The public sales this week consieled of 3,592
bags Saltpetre, and all sold with briskness 245. to 255., which
is fully the former currency ; refined has, in t•onsequence, ad-
vanced to 30s.
NITRATE OF SODA.-There are no sellers under 20s. 6d.
to 20s. 9d. ; a remnant of a parte). sold early in the week at
20s. 3d,
Nemo. -The purchases tit Indigo continue confined to small
parcels about the late public sales prices. The deliveries for
the last month are stilted to be extensive (4,500 chests), chiefly
for export. Thit day, by public sale, 20 seron3 Honduras
Indigo went off' with spirit at 4s. and ss.
SILK:-There is no alteration in silk ; the prices are still
firmly supported.
FRUIT.-There is no alteration in fruit this week.
Hors.-About 500 to GOO pockets new Hops have arrived,
but they are mostly of inferior quality, mouldy, or unripe, and
are hurried up by the growers in the hope of disposing of
them before the bulk of the good hops arrives. No sales,
however, are effected to establish prices, which have hitherto
varied from 40s. to 100 s. We expect a supply next week.
Duty 230,0001., which is higher.
COTTON.-The great proportion of the public sales adver-
tised for this day week, the 11th inst., are postponed to the
25th instals*. - There is rather an improved inquiry for Cotton,
on account of more favourable statements of the Liverpool
market: The sales arc confined to 160 Bengal, mid to good
fair, 61-d. a 70. ; 320 Surat, ord to good, 61d. a 70. ; 120
Madras, ord to fair, 64d. a 74d.
Tonacco-The sales this week are confined to small par-
cels for export, Kentucky a shade under 6:1. 'per lb., and a
mixed parcel of Virginia at 44c1. to 51d. About 200 hhds.
sold early in the week at steady prices to the trade. The
stock here is 7,950 hhds. against 12,152 hhds. last year. The
delivery last month 834 Mids., of which 396 were for export.
Wooe.- Fhere is little or no business doing in this article,
owing to the near approach of the large public sales, consist-
ing of about 3,200 bales of Colonial Wool, and about 800
bales East India, Cape, Russian, &c., the first of which corn-
menees on Wednesday next.
DRYSALTERIES.-The following erticles are in good demand
at steady market prices.-Annatto, and the stock here in few
hands ; Argol ; Gums, Senegal scarce; Galls; Shumac. The
following articles are dull :-Madders ; Munjeet ; Quercitron
Bark ; Valonia; Yellow Berries. Brimstone in rather more
demand. Dyewoods have been in moderate demand, and
prices supported, except for Sapan Wood, which is pressed upon
the market ott account of the large stock, also Lima Wood.
Nicaragua. Wood scarce. Cochineal considerably lower, on
account of the frequent public sales. Lac Dye, 2d. per lb.
higher; a speculative demand, D T, 2s. Bd.
SPICES.-There is more inquiry for Pepper and Pimento,
but few sales arc reported ; the orders for the latter on the
market are extensive, but chiefly limited to 44d. per lb. By
public sales this day GO bags Pimento, a part taken in 4.11. to
40., a few bags ord, 4d., former prices.
