MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, Oct. 25.)
SUGAR.-To-day the demand was extremely limited
for West India Sugar, and the purchases are only 30,
making for the week 800 hhds, &c. Prices close the
same as on Friday last for the better sort of yellow and
grey, lent inferior and brown are 6d cheaper. The
limited business done is to be chiefly attributed to pay-
ments falling due in the Christmas week. The public
sales of Sugar at present declared for next week are 150
hhds Barbadoes, 600 bags Bengal, Dutch, and Belgian.
Of Refined 19,130 fine loaves, 65 hhds ditto.

caution for home trade purposes, still brown lumps can-
not be obtained under 51s por cwt. Crushed Sugar is
not much wanted, and prices are not lower.

and at public sale of 2,382 bags Mauritius, former rates
were nearly supported; yellow sold from 36s 6d to
40s 6d, superior 41s to 423 good and fine Brown 34s 6d
