MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Nov. 12.)
SUGAR.—T© day all descriptions of West India Sugar
were in excellent request. Merchants manifested firm-
ness, and have obtained prices 6d per cwt above those of
Friday ; the business transacted would have been to a
larger extent, had the assortment at market been
better ; the Sugar on show consisted principally
of brown low grey and dingy yellow ; there are
many orders unexecuted for good and fine yellow sort,
the stock of which is smaller than has been the case for
some years at this period. The total purchases
amounted to 800 hhds, including a public sale of 100
hhds of Barbadoes, which went off at very full rates, and
the biddings were spirited, fine yellow fetched 665, good
6ls to 645, good mid 60s to 60s 6d, mid 57s to 595, and
low 54s 6d to 56s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day numerous purchases were made in
Refined Goods by the home trade, and a further advance
occurred in prices, indeed the market was nearly cleared;
brown lumps fetched 71s 6d to 725, and Standard lumps
72s 6d to 73s per cwt ; at these rates it was even diffi-
cult to purchase towards the close of business. For
bonded crushed Sugar prices are again higher, sales
having been made for forward delivery at 29s to 29s 3d
per cwt. _

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon some parcels were sold
privately, at prices rather above those of Friday. There
was no public sale, and the stock is nearly all in the
dealers' hands. The supply is not ample for the in-
ising wants of the trade.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the only public sale of
Bengal was that of 134 bags, which went at 57s to 57s
6d for washed yellow, 65s to 67s 6d for grainy ditto, 46s
for sound brown, 40s for low ditto, 39s to 403 for damp
and washed, and 61s for damp white. By private con-
tract there was a good deal doing at further advanced
rates—white fetched 60s to 68s, yellow 55s to 635, and
superior 64s to 70s per cwt. There was a better demand
for Manilla Sugar by private contract, prices advanced
6d per cwt.
MoLAssEs.—West India of good and fine quality are
held for previous rates, but little business has been
transacted, there has been more inclination to sell low
and middling sorts, and 20s to 22s per cwt have been
accepted for small parcels, being barely former prices.
For East India there has been scarcely any demand, and
parcels are offering at low prices. To-day there was
rather more demand for West India Molasses, and former
rates were paid.
SAGO has been in good request by private contract at
firm rates; low at 13s to 14s, middling 15s to 17s, good
middling and fine 18s to 24s per cwt. Of Arrowroot 95
pkgs were partly sold at public sale; Bermuda at 8d to
Is 24d; Jamaica, 4s to 6d; St. Vincent's 41d to 6d.
20i brls of Tous-les-Mois, Gd. 96 brls of Tapioca 41d
per lb, and 10 chests Cuba Honey 34s to 38s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day the inquiries were numerous for
yellow Havannah Sugar from shippers and speculator; ;
the rates offered were 6d to is per cwt above those of
this day week, but business of consequence was pre-
vented by the chief holders withdrawing their
Sugars from the market. For 800 boxes common
greyish yellow 21s have been paid. Holders of white are
not inclined to sell at present. For all sorts of Brazil
stiffer rates are asked, indeed several parcels have been
withdrawn from the market; there are several buyers at
former prices, but no sellers. That the Havannah Sugar
crop has been much injured there can be no doubt, and
the next crop is not expected to be more than 600,000
boxes, whereas last season it was 850,000 boxes.

COFFEE.—This afternoon the market was much better
supplied with East India Coffee. The public sales com-
prised 3,532 bags Singapore Java, 1,689 bags Padang,
108 bales Mocha, and 961 bags Ceylon; the Java of sound
quality was taken in above the value—good ord brownish
at 38s, ord damp brown 335, very ord brown 32s ;
the sea damaged, amounting to 182 bags, sold at
moderate rates, first class at 28s 6d to 355, second 25s to
335, and third 21s to 29s 6d ; of the Padang 994 bags
were sea damaged, these sold at low rates, first class
at 23s 6d to 24s 6d, second and third 22s to 23s 6d,
fourth 18s, sea damaged and repacked 18s to 225, but
the sound was taken in at more than it was worth, good
ord brown at 27s ; the Ceylon went off quietly, and a
part only sold 6d under former rates—good ord pale
went at 545, good ord bold rather colory 55s to 55s 6d,
and ragged 48s to 51s ; the Mocha was all sea damaged,
and sold at 49s to 675, being cheap. There is still little
demand privately for Foreign Coffee ; at public sale 43
brls of Rio were taken in at 43s 6d to 44s for fine ordi-
nary colory.
TEA.—The market has still a firm appearance for
nearly every desciption of Tea, and none has been
offered at public sale. Holders of Congou show firmness,
and have obtained former rates ; there has, however,
been less demand from the trade, and few purchases
have been made by speculators—of fine the
supply is scanty, and of ordinary qualities few parcels
are offering for sale—common at 10id to 11d, good
common 1 lid to Hid, mid coarse is to is Old, but
mid and mid blksh leaf Is Id to is 2, d, good blkish
leaf is 3d to Is sd, fine is 6d to is 9d. Pekoe flavour is
Is 9d to 2s 4d, and very rich 2s 5d to 2s 6d per lb.
Pouchong has met with increased attention—clean
has been selling at 6d to 9d. Scented Orange Pekoe
is fetching 3s 4d to 3s 4d—the stock is nearly
all in second hands. Hyson has met with eager pur
chasers, and further advanced rates are paid, common
fetching 2s 6d to 2s Bd, but mid and mid 2s 9d to 3s,
and superior 3s 2d to 3s 6d. For Imperial and Gun.
powder there has been a good demand. To-day there
was not much business transacted in Teas, but prices
were supported ; common scm' Congou for cash was
with difficulty to be purchased under cold per lb.
SPICES.—This afternoon white Pepper was in request,
and 50 bags good bold heavy at public sale were sold at
GO, and one lot low middling 41(1 per lb, being the
former value. For Nutmegs prices advanced ld to 2d
per lb, and 39 chests two boxes at auction were
all sold : Singapore fine brown bold fetched 4s 28
to 4s sd, good 3s 9d to 4s ld, good middling 3s 7d
to 3s Bd, mid 3s 6d, damp 3s 8d to 4s Id, worm eaten
is 6d to is Bd, mouldy 3s to 3s 6d. Cloves were not
much in request, and 32 chests Penang at auction went
at rather lower rates, fine bold bright at 2s 3d to 2s sd,
good ditto 2s to 2s Id, damp 2s 2d. Of Mace 13 chests
were sold at lower rates, good bold went at 3s to 3s 3d,
and mid 2s 98 to 2s I Id. Of Barbadoes Ginger 46 bags
were taken at 435.

COCOA.—To-day West India was sought after, and
stiff rates paid by private contract. At public sale 48
bags and 6 barrels of Trinidad were sold at 43s to 44s
for middling red, and 42s per cwt for grey.
Russ, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Jamaica Rum is
not to be purchased upon lower terms, but the market
has still a quiet appearance ; there are few home or

and Jamaica is to 2s per gallon higher than they were
in 1843. For Brandy the demand has been
brisk for the best description ; inferior kinds
are in good request. Cognac, best brands of the vintage
of 1838, hhds at 5s 2d, puns 5s ; ditto, 1839, hhds

the quantity in the market is small. Geneva shipping
sort at is 9d to Is 10d, and fine 2s 4d to 3s 6d per gallon.
English Corn Spirits at lOs 2d per gallon, cash.
RICE.—A good demand has existed for yellow Madras
Rice by private contract, and several parcels have been
disposed of rather above former rates, 8s 3d to 9s per
cwt having been paid, the supply has become small. Java
at 9s to 9s 6d for yellow, 10s to lls for white, superior
would fetch 11 s 6d to 12s per cwt, but there is at present
none in the market. Bombay Rice, at auction, at lOs 6d
to lls for mid white, and 9s 6d to 10s per cwt for
sea damaged, being the full value. Bengal middling
white was sold at Ils, and good middling to good Ils 6d
to 12s per cwt. Cleaned, at 13s 6d to 18s for Patna, and
23s to 27s per cwt for Carolina. For East India prices
are 6d to is per cwt above those of last season at this
period.
FRUIT.—The purchases made in Raisins were exten-
sive. New Red Smyrna in barrels fetched 455, cases 465,
Elemo in cases 51s to 525, Malaga 40s, Sultanas 655, and
Valentias 50s. The value of Turkey Pulled- Figs is 60s
to 80s. Currants are much wanted : new Patras are
fetching 49s to 50s, and old Island fruit 435.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal met with more
attention, and 118 bags of Honduras at public sale were
all sold at fully former rates, low silvers fetched 4s Id to
48 2d, and middling to good 4s 3d to 4s 7d per lb.
INDIGO.—The dullness in the East India Indigo
market has increased, and some holders are more in-
clined to realise; the home trade have purchased with
much caution, and for exportation there are few orders ;
the rates accepted show a decline on those of the last
quarterly sale of 2d to 3d; indeed, ono parcel of 40
chests of Bengal has been forced off to close an account
at a discount of 5d per lb, but at this rate there are not
further sellers. Spanish has been little inquired for.
TALLOW.—There has been a good demand for Russian
on the spot in consequence of importers again submit-
ting to rather lower rates; 40s 6d to 40s 9d were the
current prices taken for P Y Candle to-day. New
South Wales at auction went at 38s 6d to 41s 6d. South
American at auction at 37s 3d to 40s for good and fine
quality.
OILS.—The common descriptions of Fish Oils are not
much wanted, and prices are on the decline for all kinds;
Pale Seal selling by private contract at 34110 s to 35/,
coloured 311 to 334 Cod 32/ lOs to 331, and at auction
90 tuns of Southern went at 28/ lOs to 31/ 15s for mid to
fine, being 20s per tun under former rates. With brown
Seal the market is scantily supplied at present. Sperm
at 88/ to 90/ per tun for British. Holders of Olive Oil
are inclined to realise on account of the heavy stock ;
Gallipoli at 43/ to 444 Spanish 41/ to 421, and Barbary
and Levant 39/ to 401 per tun. Cocoa Nut Oil is wanted,
and prices keep firm, 61 casks at public sale fetched 27s
6d to 28s 6d per cwt. American Lard at auction went
at 40s to 41s. Palm has been in good request at former
rates. Rape Oil pale at 355, and brown 34s per cwt. Lin-
seed Oil 23s 6d to 23s 9d on the spot.

[ADvEmisEmENT.]—A POOR MAN'S LIFE SAVED
BY HOLLOWAY'S PlLLS.—Jeremiah Laughlin, a porter
about the quays of Dublin, was afflicted for years with
shortness of breath, spitting of phlegm, night perspi-
rations, and general weakness of body, a want of appe-
tite, sick headaches, besides suffering much from the
liver. This man was in the second stage of consump-
tion, and not expected to live three months, when he
commenced the use of Holloway's wonderful pills, and
by their means alone he is now as strong, as hale, and
es well as ever he was in his life.—Sold (also Holloway's
Ointment) at the establishment of Professor Holloway,
224, Strand (where advice may be hat' gratis), and by
almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout
the civilised world.
