MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Oct. 17.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was less disposition evinced
to operate in West India Sugar; still holders were firm,
and would not sell Grocery or Refining sorts but at fully
former rates. At auction 98 hhds Jamaica went at 383
to 40s 61 for ord to good yellow; and 50 brls St Kitt's at
37s 61 to 393 6d for com and mid. The purchases are
447 hhds; and fir the week 2.559 hhds and tierces. For
public sale next week only 150 hhds Barbadoes, and 500
bgs Bengal Sugar arc at present declared.
RELINED.—To-day Refined Sugar is in fair demand
for home trade purposes; and Brown Grocery lumps
realizel 51s 6d to 52s per cwt; the market has also a
firm aspect. Crushed Sugar sells more freely at fully
former rates.

bliwarrius.—This afternoon a public sale of 1,391
begs and 14 casks Mauritius went at firm rates; fine
yellow at 41s 6d to 42s 6d, ord to good 36s 6d to 40s;
mid to flue brown 3is to 365; ord and low 30s to 33s
per cwt.

EAST INDIA.--This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amounted
to 6,422 bgs; still all sold at full rates; good and
fine yellow like Mauritius at 40s to 43s 61, mid 39s to
39s 61; yellow rather grainy 45s to 45s 6d ; soft yellow
36s to 40s 6d. Ot Madras 6,975 bg3 realized °rimer
prices; white like Benares 42s 6i to 463 61; yellow
like Mauritius 38s to 425; soft 323 to 375; brown 31s
to 325; and very ord 30s to 30s 61. Of Jaggery 225
cases sold at 9s to 9s 6d for export.
FOREIGN.—Te-day there was no public sale of Fo-
reign Sugar, and privately less business was done, still
holders were firm. A cargo of white Bahia has been
sold at 23s 61 per cwt.
MoLAsses.—The improved rates of last week are
well supported for West India, and a large business has
been conluded; the quantity on offer is also less than
for some time past, other sorts are wanted. At auction
60 hhds Bengal Treacle realised 123, and 51 casks Mo-
lasses from Sydney in bond 5s to 5s 61 por cwt. Of all
kinds there is a larger stock than last year by 2,500
puns; but deliveries exceed those of that period by 600
puns, and imports continue upon a smaller scale.
CoFrEE.—This afternoon the biddiugs were languid
at the public sales of Plantation Ceylon Coffee ; of 490
casks and 349 bags offered, a small part only sold at
easier rates ; mid and good went at 64s to 70s 6d ;
low mid 61s to 63s ; other sorts 55s to 61s ; and
Triage 50s to 575. Of Costa Rica 1,822 bags were only
in part sold at the full value; .mid 58s, good and fine ord
51s to 553, and damaged 44s to 525. Native Ceylon is
cheaper, and the private sales to-day are confined to
1,000 bgs at 57s to 573 6d for good ord.
TEA.—There is no further advance for green, but during
the last week large parcels have been taken by town and
country dealers. Scented and Pekoe Tea finds a ready
sale at former terms. Congou continues in good de-
mand with much firmness on the part of holders, ord and
good ord realised is Old to is Id, medium is 2d to
is 3d, and better kinds is 31-cl to Is 7d per lb. Pouchong
is wanted at lld to is Id, but few parcels are on the
market. To-day the public sales of Tea went off at full
rates, and of 4,693 pkgs offered 1,000 sold at full rates;
common Congou realised is Old to Is Old per lb.
RICE.—Of 5,981 bgs at sale about half sold, mid and
good pinky white at 9s to 9s 61, low 8s to 8s 61, but
chiefly at the former rates; some parcels were taken in
at lOs to lOs 6d' for fine white. Fur Bengai the market
has a quieter aspect, and rather lower rates have been ac-
ceded to fir inferior torts, but good and fine aro held for
late terms. Privately only 3,300 bgs have been disposed
of, and at auction a part only of 3,731 bags 994 pkts
found buyers, fine white at 12s to 12s 6d, good mid
and good 103 61 to I Is, mid 103 to 105 61, and common
broken 93 per cwt, whilst fine cargo was bought in at
9s, being above the value. In the private contract
market Pearl Barley and Arracan can be obtained at
8s 6d iser cwt. Cleaned Patna is still in good re-
quest, but prices are not higher, and rule at 12s to 18s
for low to fine, and broken at 103 6d to Ile 61. Caro-
lina is not much wanted, but town dressed is held for
22s to 28s. Of American 20 bags at auction realised
20s 6d. To-clay the market is still quiet f East India
Rice, and firmer rates are barely supported. At audio's
301 bags mid white Bengal sold at 103 to 103 61, and 150
bags pinky white Madras at 9s per cwt.
6PICES.—To-day at sale 4,246 bags Batavia Pepper
were taken in at 3id for good, being rather above the
value; but 238 bags white sold at 6d to 7ed for ord to
good. Of Cloves 48 bags realized 8d to 81d for Batavia;
100 brls Jamaica Ginger, 69s to 91s for ord and mid;

cutta were taken in, and withdrawn at 27s to 283 for 5}
to 61 per cent. refractiou.

COCHINEAL —A much better demand has been expe-
rienced this week, and prices have advanced Id to 2d per
pound,although the market has been more freely supplied.
At auction 360 bags were all sold, and the latest rates ob-
taind were for Honduras Silvers 33 91 to 45 21 fir ord
to good, 4s 6d to 45 lld for mid to good Black, and
3s 83 to 3s 10d for Mexican Black, and Silvers. Some
lots of Garblings realized is 7d to is 93 par lb. There
has been no arrival of Cochineal this week, but stock
exceeds that of last year, still deliveries continue upon a
larger scale.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sales of East India finished
yesterday. The whole quantity put up was 13,692 chests
in the A. and 3,408 in the B catalogue; total, 17,100, of
which 978 were not printed, leaving the quantity for
sale 16,122 chests. Tho spirit of speculation in
Indigo, which has been remarkable throughout
the year, particularly since the month of May,
received an additional impetus by the unfavour-
able accounts from Calcutta of the Bth and 21st
August, estimating the crop at 110,000 to 115,000
maunds; on the receipt of this last mail an advance of
7d to 9d on the prices of July was currently paid by the
speculators, who were known to be the owners of a very
considerable proportion of the quantity put up in this sale;
the general expectation was,therefore,that the withdrawals
would be unusually large. The first marks in the cata-
logue were generally limited at 10,1 to is advance on
thee July rates, and as the export and home buyers ap-
peared at first unwilling to come firward, a con-
siderable proportion was bought in, speculators
taking about one-third of the quantity which
passed the hammer. As the sale proceeded, how -
ever, considerable pareels being almost hourly with-
drawn by tho proprietors, it became evident that the
proportion intended for bond fide sale could not exceed
7.000 to 8;000 chests; exporters and home consumers,
therefore, acted with more confidence, and paid readily
the advance which had been partly established in the
beginning. As compared with last sale's prices, we now
quote ord to fine Bengals 101 to Is Id advance; the good
consuming and middling shipping qualities being the
most in demand, and bearing the greatest advance. The
quality of the Kurpahs was generally good, and the de-
mand having been very active throughout, an advance of
10d to is was also realized—dry leaf Madras,
however, has been comparatively neglected, and
only a small proportion found buyers at about
91 advance on last sale's prices, proprietors
buying in the remainder. Of the total quantity put up
(17,100 cheats) 9,816 have been withdrawn, and 1,855
bought in, leaving 5,429 chests sold in the room, and
about 1,500 of the bought in and withdrawn parcels;
total 7,000 chests, of which 1,500 are supposed to be for
home consumption, 3,500 for export, and 2,000 for specu-
lation and re-sale. Of 400 erns Guatemala Indigo at
auction this week, a small part sold at 3s 81 to 5s 4d
per lb.
TALLOW.—To-day at sale 780 cks Sydney only in
part sold at 35s 6d to 38s 6d; 640 pkgs South American
33s 6d to 38s 6 1.
OILS.—A much better demand has been experienced
for Linseed Oil from shippers and home consumers
this week; prices are higher, and rule at 32s 31 to
32s 6d on the spot. For delivery several contracts
have been completed at 32s per cwt, and there are
not free selers. In Olive a good deal has been
done, and last week's rates are well supported,
Spanish, and Gallipoli realizing 44/ to 451, other sorts
421 103 to 431 lOs per tun. Of Rapeseed Oil many
parcels have been disposed of, and rates are firm.
Foreign Pale at 333 3d to 38s 6d, British 37s 61 to
38s, and Brown at 36s 63 to 375. In Cocoa Nut
operations have been small with sellers of Cochin,
and Ceylon at 29s to 32s 6d per cwt according to
quality. Palm met with increased attention, prices are
still on the advance, and range at 30s to 30s 6d
for fine. Previous advanced rates are supported
for Seal with a good demand. Pale realized 391
lOs to 40/, Straw and Tinged 371 to 381 10s, Yellow and
Brown 351 103 to 361 10s. Southern has been sought
after and realized from 341 to 36s 105 for ord
to fine quality, but there will be a much better supply
at market shortly. Cod is higher, 381 to 391 having been
obtained, but at these rates buyers do not operate freely.
Sperm in good demand, and prices are on the rise, fine
quality selling at 841 to 851; there is not a larger quantity
on offer. Headmatter is selling at 881 to 921 per tau.
To-day at auction 70 tuna Southern Oil sold at 361 to
361155; 45 tuns Newfoundland Whale 3415 s to 341 15s,
and 26 tuns Pale Seal 381 to 381 10s.
