MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, July 16.)

India market; grocers and refiners were buyers to a
large extent, still merchants could not obtain any general
rise on the rates of Friday. The sales of 150 hogs-
heads 11 tierces and 200 barrels Barbadoes went at the
previous currency; fine yellow at 39s to 41s, middling

REFINED.—To-day Lump Sugar from 49s to 51s per
cwt sold freely for home trade purposes, but better sorts
are operated in with caution at the former value.
Crushed Sugar is offered at the terms of last week, but
there is not a better demand
MAIIRITIIIII.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was in
good demaud, and realized fully former rates: at auction
5,059 bags 49 casks were sold. fine yellow realized 39s to
408 6d, mid to good 35s 6d to 375, and ord brown 27s to
28s per cwt.

a good demand, and bully supported the former value,
but other sorts are operated in with caution, still lower
rates are not accepted. Of 6,100 bags at auction about
half sold, good` white Benares at 39s to 40s 6d, low to

FOREIGN.—To•dsy holders of Foreign Sugar were
firm, and would not sell but at full rates, still the busi-
ness concluded by private treaty was of a limited charac-
ter, by shippers and the home dealers. None was offered
at auction.

MorassEs.—A reduction has taken place for West
India, but sales are upon a more extended scale, and
amount to 250 puns—St. Kitt's at 13s 6d, Tobago 13s,
and Vincents at 148 per cwt. East India is held for 14s
to 138, but few buyers are to be met with, still there is
not a more plentiful supply.
Cocoa.—Holders of West India are firm, and continue
to supply the market sparingly. None has been offered
at auction since this day week. Former terms are well
supported, and sales to a fair extent have been made by
private treaty. In Foreign there has been little done,
and the rates accepted are 27s 6d to 28s 5d per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon holders of Plantation Ceylon
Coffee were more disposed to realise, and prices declined
Is to 2s per cwt. At public sale 190 casks 2,325 bags
wero, however, nearly all disposed ot; goo 4 mid went at
56s to 575, mid 52s to 545, low mid 50s 6d to 51s 6d,
tine fine ordinary 48s to 50s, fine ordinary 45s to
475, pea berry 55s to 565, triage 42s to 455. For
Native former rates wero asked, but sales have been upon
a small scale by private treaty. At auction 20 bags
were taken in at 43s 6d. Of Jamaica 100 pkgs went at
rather lower rate', tine to fine fine ord at 45s 6d to
481, inferior 41s 6d to 435, and low triage 29s to 34w.
TEA.—There has again been a large home trade de-
mand for common Congou, and shippers have taken
several parcels; supply is not more plentiful, and rates
are firm at 100 to I Id. In sorts from is to is 3d a
good dell has been done, but superior qualities have
been only in moderate demand at is 4d to is Bd.
For low and mid Green former rates are well supported,
and large parcels have been disposed of ; shippers are
also operators to a fair extent. Fine and good qualities
are not much wanted, still holders generally will not
sell, except at full rates. Scented and Pekoe Teas
realised last week's prices, and many parcels have
been sold. Of 7,409 packages at public sale 3,500 were
disposed of.
RlCE.—Cleaned Rice sells with more freedom, town
dressed Carolina 22s to 28s, American 20s to 21s,
Patna 118 to 16s, and broken 9s 6d to lOs 6d. Arrow-
root is not much wanted, and 500 pkgs at auction only
in part sold, Bermuda at is Bd, other sorts of West India
2id to 91d. Sago has been in fair demand
at the former value. At auction 500 chests sold at
21s to 22a for small pearl, but 414 bags Sago Flour
were taken in at 17s 6d to 19s 64 per cwt. To-day
East India Rice was held for full rates, but there is less
demand. At auction 1,780 bags Bengal were taken in
at lOs to lOs 6d for good white, and at 8s 6d for cargo.
SPICES.—Nutmegs have been more in demand, but not
at better prices. A public sale of 10 cases Penang went
at 2s 6d to 3s 4d for ordinary to good. Jamaica Ginger
has further declined, but at auction 340 barrels sold ;
gaud and fine 4115 s to 71 13s; ord and mid 3112 s to
to 41 12s; but the whole sold. Export sorts of
East India met with little attention, and 16s 6d to
17s 6d is the value. Of Pimento none has
been offered at auction, only small sales have been made
privately at 64 to qd per lb. Black Pepper is not
cheaper, and none has been brought to public sale, but
private operations are limited. Malabar at from aid
to 311; and Sumatra 214 to 3d. Prices are steady
for white, but there are nut many buyers. At auction 30
bags sold at 6d to 6i-d for mid and at 44d for low. In
Mace sales to a fair extent have been made privately at
2s to 2s 9d. The demand fur Cloves continues limited;
Penang at is to is 6d, Bourbon and Zsnzabar Sid to 7d
per lb. For Cassia Lignea - rather more demand has
been experienced, supply continues scanty, and 85s to 90s
per cwt are the rates paid for ordinary to good. For
Cinnamon the market is dull. Cassia Buds 90s per cwt.
SPlRlTS.—Previous terms are well supported for Ja-
maica Rum, and there has been a good demand. The
sales amount to 300 puns at 2s 9d to 3s 8d fur 33 to 38
per cent. over proof, including small parcels ot superior
quality and high flavour at 3s 9d to 4s 4d per gallon.
East India has not improved in price, but operations
are upon a large scale, and amount to 1,000 puns at la 3d
proof; at this rate there are not free sellers. Leeward
Island is held with firmness, and 200 puns have been
disposed of at is 4d to is 4id proof. Fine Demerara is
wanted, and full rates are offered. but inferior met with
little attention. About 200 puns have been sold at is lld
to 2s for 32 to 34 over, rather cloudy, and better sort
2s to 2s 2d for 32 to 38 over. Brandy has been ope-
rated in with more freedom, and holders display firm-
ness. The value of Cognac best brands of the vintage of
1849 is 4s 5d to 4s 7d, 1848 ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1847
ditto 53 Id to bs 3d, and inferior sorts 2s 8d to 4s 2d.
Geneva is unaltered in value. Former rates are sup-
ported for British made spirit.
COCHINEAL.—To-day at public sale 15 bags Teneriffe
Cochineal sold at 3s 9d.
INDIGO.—For Bengal, merchants display much firm-
ness; prices for fine shipping rule at from May's rates to
2d advance, mid and good 3d, good and fine con-
suming 3d to 4d, and ord 3d to 4d above. Kur-
pabs sold freely at a rise of 3d to 4d. Madras has
not met with much attention during the last few days,
For dry leaf Madras the market has presented a quiet
aspect. Spanish has met a much bettor demand, and
former terms are well supported. The public sales of 150
srns Guatemala went at 35 Id to 3s 6d fur Cortes, and 3s
7d to 4s 4d for Sabres. The Indigo market has a very
firm appearance.
SALTPETRE.—SaIes have been upon a limited scale by
private treaty for all purposes, still holders are firm, and
offered none at auction since our last report. The value
is 25s 6d to 27s 6d for low to fine. British refined, how-
ever, has been in good demand at 29s to 29s 6d per cwt.
Nitrate of Soda is to be obtained at 13s 6d to 14s per
cwt, but there are few buyers.
TALLow.—No change of importance is to be men-
tioned in the price of Russian on the spot since this day
week. First sort yellow Candle is obtainable at 36s 6d
to 37e, and for inferior 3d to 6d per cwt less. For deli-
very in the last three months many holders are willing to
supply the article on rather lower terms; but only a
small business has been done at 37s 6d to 37s 9d. Al-
though home melted is to be obtained at 35s to 36s
nett cash,- yet transactions have been upon a limited
scale; large parcels are brought forward. Other
descriptions of Tallow barely supported previous terms.
At auction, however, 540 pkgs American were

1 i ) I.lJiltl.

nearly all sold from 32s to 36s for low to fine; 600 casks
Sydney at 32s 6d to 35s 9d; and 25 casks of North
American at 36s to 36s 3d per cwt. For auction 1,200
pkgs Tallow are advertised.
OILS.—The market has a firm appearance for Seal
Oil, and a good business has been concluded in pale
at 311 to 321 per tun. Other kinds are sought after
at 29/ 101 to 301 10s, but there is yet a small
supply. The stock of Cod is light, and 34/
10s must be paid before any business is settled.
For Southern holders require 31/ to 331 10s for low to
fine. For Sperm the rates obtained are 84/ to 84110 s per
tun for Colonial of first quality. Ileadmatter has Leen
selling at 901 to 94l per tun, and is yet scarce.
In Rapeseed Oil the sales made are more extensive ;
brown is quoted at 35s to 35s 6J, and pale 36s 6d
to 375, but, for delivery, parcels maybe bought under
these figures. An active demand continues to exist
for Linseed Oil to supply tho wants of the home
trade, and several export orders have been com-
ple!ed ; the market is only indifferently supplied, and
quotations are firm at 32s 9d to 33, rer cwt. For deli-
very the transactions have been to a fair extent at 323
to 32e 6d. Cocoa Nut has not been much inquired
after, and sellers are willing to dispose of Ceylon and
Cochin at 29s to 31s. Another reduction has taken
place in Palm Oil, owing to a large quantity
pressed for sale and the restricted demand fur
the article. At auction 150 tuns changed hands from
26s 9,1 to to 28s 3d ; and 38 casks Gingelly Oil at 33s
6 Olive continues to meat with little attention, and
there is no difficulty in finding seders at 421 to 411 103
for Spanish and Gallipoli, and 401 103 to 41/ 10s per
tun for other descriptions. Imports cf Cocoa Nut,
Olive, and Fish Oils have been impartant.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, JULY 16.
We had again a small show of wheat. There was a slight
reduction in price, but not Is per qr., owing to the firmness
the growers evince in holding their remaining stocks, and trom
a report of the growing crop having suffered from something
of a blight, as also from the heavy rains and thunder storm of
last night. We had a sample of new white peas on sale ; 32s
was bid for them.

HULL, JULY 16.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states ; —Since
Tuesday last we have had a succession of warm, genial wea-
ther, and unfavourable reports as to the wheat crops have
teased. The desire to increase stocks on the part of millers
has received a check, and business is quieter than at the early
part of last week. Holders, however, show no disposition to
give way in price, although we have a considerable arrival of
all kinds of grain since the above table was made up. Today
our farmers were little influenced by the dull reports of yester-
day's London market ; and some rain having fallen, they were
enabled to make last Tuesday's prices for all fresh thrashed
samples. Rather more foreign on show, and though little
business was done prices are unaltered. Fine and heavy malt-
ing barley is scarce, and fetches long prices. For grinding
samples we have a good sale at fully our quotations. Not
much business doing in beans, but holders are firm. Very few
peas offering, and the article is in demand. Linseed is dearer,
and cakes support the late advance, with but few of first make
offering. Contract cakes are less easy to buy. Rape cakes
quite up to our quotations. The season for bones may be re.
garded as over.

LIVERPOOL, JULY 16.—At this day's market there was
the usual attendance of the town trade, but very few country
buyers in attendance, and the weather being very fine the
business done in wheat was on an extremely limited scale at a
decline of Id to 2d per 701bs. Flour met with little inquiry,
and nominally maintained its value. Oats were taken to a
moderate extent at late rates. The same remark applies to
barley and beans. Peas were quite neglected. Good yellow
Indian corn was offered in vain at 26. per quarter, and must be
quoted is per quarter lower than this day week.
