SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock,

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, May 31.)
SUGAR.-Today there was firmness on the part of
holders of Raw Sugar, and none of any kind was offered
at public sale, but large parcels will be brough to market
next week. The rates obtained by private treaty for
West India are fully equal to Friday last, and in some
- cases rather above, but refiners or growers did not
appear much disposed to operate, and the sales are 450,
making for the week 1,450 hhds, &c.
REFINED.-To-day Refined Sugar met with ready
buyers for home trade purposes, and prices rule firm at
493 9tl to 51s for grocery lumps. A fair business was
concluded in Crushed Sugar, and 27s 6d to 29s are the
rates paid for British.
MAURITIUS.-The quantity brought to public sale has
been exSeneive, amountiog to 490 casks and 15,123 bags,
still nearly all found buyers ; low and middling yellow
went at from 345 6d to 36s 6d, good to fine 37s to 393,
mid to fine brown 303 to 345, inferior 285 to 295, very
low 26s to 27s 6(1, common to fine grey 34s to 381, and
ord and mid grainy yellow 35s to 36s ed per cwt. The
chief part consisted of mid and brown qualities.
EAST INDIA.-Prices have not advanced for Madras,
still several parcels have been sold by private treaty,
and there is only a limited supply at market. At auction
397 bsgs realised 28s 61 to 29s 61 for good and fine soft
brown. There are several purchasers of Penang, and last
week's rates are well supported, with a less amount on
offer of all qualities. Bengal has been in excellent re-
quest, and previous prices are readily given, whilst the
supply is not so plentiful. At auction 6,030 bags were
disposed of; good and fine white Benares went at 388 6d
to 40s 6d, low to mid 37s to 38s, common to good soft
yellow 32s 6d to 35, better sort 35s 6d to 375, yellow
like Mauritius, common to fine 34s to 39s 6d, mid to
smal grainy yellow 373 to 39s 6d, arid good grainy
white 45s 6d to 46s per cwt. By private treaty a lair
business has been concluded in soft brown at frOm 28s
to 30s, and on the part of holders there is firmness.
FOREIGN.-There has not been more desire on the
part of exporters to operate in bonded parcel, by private
treaty, yet holders are firm, and will not sell but at full
rates. At auction yesterday 2,000 chests yellow
Havannah were in part disposed of at from 19s to 21s 6d
for mid to fine. 2,629 bags cloyed Manilla were
taken in at 18s. In duty paid kinds little has been done
privately, yet holders will not sell but at lull terms. At
auction 4,569 bags Manills were taken in at from 30s 6d
to 37s 6d. The private operations for the week in Foreign
Sugar are 500 chests yellow Havannab, in bond, at 20s
6d, 200 chests brown Bahia 17s 6d, and 10,000 bags
Manilla at about 17s. 2,200 chests white Havannah 338.
COFFEE.-This afternoon Plantation Ceylon Coffee
met with greater attention, and at the public sales of
126 casks 253 bags, prices advanced 2s per cwt, and all
sold; good realised 57s to 603, mid 52s to 56, low mid 49s
to 51s, fine to fine fine ord 46s to 482 6d, and pea berry
55s to 635. Of Mysore 53 bags went at 40s 6d for com-
more Native Ceylon met with a good demand by private
treaty, and prices closed firmly at 40s to 41s.
Moeesses.-For West India there is still a quiet.
market, but holders are not disposed to accept lower
rates, and require 13s to 17s for low to fine. Of Porto
Rico 190 pkgs at auction were taken in at 17a per cwt.
Mauritius and Feast India continue to be operated in
with caution at 12s to 13s per cwt.
Cocos. Prices have ceased to decline for Foreign,
and a fair business has been concluded by private treaty
at 27s to 28s per cwt. A good demand exists for British
Plantation, and last week's rates aro obtained for the
parcels sold by private treatry : the supply is alas) less
plentiful. At auction 108 bags Grenada realised 373 to
40s per cwt. There is a further increase in deliveries of
Cocoa for home trade purposes.
TES.--There are several buyers of common Congou
for hoarse consumption and exportation, whilst supplies
being small, prices are rising, and rule at 9d to 9il ;
in medium sorts a fair business has been concluded at
9f to Is. The better qualities, however, continue to
- meet with little attention ; still no further reduction
is apparent, and prices rule from is ld to Is 7d.
Scented and Pekoe are freely offered at last weeks'
terms, still few orders have been executed, and several
parcels are on offer. Three vessels have arrived this
week. At auction 1,943 pkgs offered, 836 found buyers,
good Congon with all faults went at 11d, Hyson fair:and
middling Is 2,id to Is 4d, superior 2s 6:tcl, Young Hyson
fine 2s Ofct to 2s 60, good and fine Imperial

declared shortly, more especially of Green.

and rather higher rates were obtained; 933 bags of
Penang at sale sold 24d to 2id, and damaged at 2fd to

6d to 3s ld, and out of condition at lld to is 4d per lb;
31 jars West India preserved Ginger 23; 103 bags white
Pepper sold at 58d to Bfd; 6 bags Nutmegs in the shell
at is 6d.
Bece.-There are many buyers of East India at the
late decline, but holders refusing to sell thereat caused
the sales to be of little by private treaty, and none has
been submitted to auction. For white Bengal pricees
rule at from 9s 6d to 114 Madras pinkp white tes 6,1 to
9s 6d, cargo and pearl barley 8s to 6d per cwt. Cleaned

3d to 6d, and 135 pkgs Si. Viccents Arrowroots at

mit to any further reduction. For 20 to 29 per cent
orer proof, prices rule at from 2s 2d to 2s 6,1, 38 to 38
over 2s 7d to 3s 4d, and high fluter 4s 2d to 43 6d per
gal. In Leewerd Island operations are upon a more ex-
tended scale at former low rates. The sales are

small parcels on the Quay at Is 2d to Is 2f d proof.
