MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(Prom the London New Price Current, April 12.)
SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was purchased
with much caution for all purposes, and in some cases
the rates taken were rather under those current pre-
viously. Only 200 hhds, &c., sold, making 1,152 for the
week, and the decline during that time has been fully 6d
per cwt.
REPINED.—Tc-day Refined Sugar was purchased with
caution for home-trade purposes; brown lumps at 48s to
483 6d, and fair to good grocery 49s to 50s per cwt. The
demand for Crushed Sugar is still limited, and at former
rates there are free sellers.

quiet state for Mauritius Sugar, and at public sale 2,000
bags were only in part sold at rather lower terms; good
yellow went at 37s to 37s 6d, low to mid 34s to 36s 6d,
and good to fine brown 32s 6d to 33s 6d per cwt.

desire evieek dto operate in Bengal Sugar. The public
sales of 3,972 bags went at barely former rates, still

FOREICIN.—TG-Jay there was no public ale of Foreign
Sugar, and the amount of business concluded by private
treaty was small fur all purposes, although rather lower

rates were taken.

gou is 93 to 911, medium kinds 10d to is 2,1, and better
sorts is 2id to is 8d per lb. A further reduction is also
likely to take place. With Green Tea the market is
more abundantly supplied, and the rates taken are ld
chases made have been limited, more especially in the
per lb under those current two weeks back, yet the pur-
better sorts, as a further decline is looked for. Scented
and Pekoe met with little attention, and former terms
are to be obtained.

and former rates are not to be obtained. The value of
low to fine quality is from 14s to 17s per cwt. Other
sorts have been operated in with caution; Mauritius at
123 to 12s 6d. and Bengal at 13s to 13s 6d per cwt, but
arrivals are likely to be smaller than in the former year.

is 6d per cwt took place for Native Ceylon, and only
moderate purchases were made by private treaty. At
auction 417 bags of the new crop sold at 46s to 46s 6d for

upon a limited scale at 28s to 29s per cwt., still no ma-
terial reduction is looked for. Of West India the quan-
tity is 2,500 pkgs larger than in the previous season,
and few sales have been made by private contract during
the week. At public sale 118 bags Trinidad were of
fered yesterday, and all withdrawn.

export demand for Jamaica Rum, but as supplies at

good and fine 3s to 3s 7d, and choice marks 3s 8d to

A Remarkable Cure of
[ADVERTISEMENT.]
Dropsy by Holloway's Piils.
—At Wootton, near Bedford, re-
sides Mr. John Robinson, sen., an opulent farmer, who some
time ago was in a most dangerous state from dropsy, being
nearly double his usual size; he was given over by his medical
attendant, and was not at the time expected to live three days ;
and yet from his hopeless state he was eared by taking Hol-
loway's Pills. This gentleman is well known in all the market
towns in the country. The wonders that this fine medicine
does in all cases of dropsy are truly surprising, and those who
are labouring under this dreadful complaint should certainly try
this remedy. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Hollo-
way's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
