MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 29.)
SUOAL—To-day the better descriptions of West India
Sugar were in demand, and fetched full rates, but low
yellow and brown sorts moved off heavily, and the prices
accepted were in some cases rather under those previ-
ously quoted. The total purchases amounted to 240
hhds, including a public sale of 103 hhds of Barbadoes,
which went at former rates, viz., fine yellow at 64s 6d
to 655, good 61s 6d to 635, good middling 60s to 61s,
middling 57s 6d to 58s, and low 55s to 56s per cwt. The
