MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 17.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was less activity in the West
India Sugar market, and only a limited business was
transacted ; importers, however, were firm, and obtained
previous rates. At public sale 150 hhds of Barbadoes
were offered, but it being a soft parcel little inclination was
shown to purchase, and a part only was disposed of at a
decline on former prices of 6d per cwt, fine yellow went
at 645, good 60s 6d to 62s 6d, good mid 59s to 59s 6d,
mid 56s Gd to 58s, and low 56s per cwt. The total pur-
chases are only 440 hhds and tierces.
ItErnsEn.---The demand has been extensive for Re-
fined Goods from the home trade since last Tuesday ;
the market has been nearly cleared of every description,
and a further advance in prices has taken place ; brown
Lumps fetching 73a to 73s 6d, Standard Lumps 74s to
755, Tittlers 73s 6d to 78s 6d, fine ditto 79s to 535,
Hambro'Loares 74s to 84.5, double ditto 85 to 90s, and wet
Lumps 71s to 73s per cwt; there is a very extensive con-
sumption going on, and refined sugar is still cheaper in
comparison than good and fine raw. To-day the home
trade purchased refined goods largely, paying 73s to 73s
6d for brown, and 74s 6d to 75s per cwt for standard
lumps, indeed of the low and mid qualities the supply at
market is not ample for the increasing wants of the
trade. For bonded crushed sugar prices are firmer, and
at 27s 3d to 27s 6d per cwt large purchases have been
made ; the market has a firm appearance.
MAURITIUS. ,—The supply is falling off of all descrip-
tions, indeed the quantity remaining in importers hands
is small, being reduced to 14,000 bags, and nearly all of
low quality : none has been submitted to public compe-
tition, but by private contract several parcels have been
disposed of at fully former rates.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was much
better supplied with Bengal Sugar ; four parcels,
amounting to 5,428 bags, were submitted to public com-
petition ; a fair proportion consisted of good and fine
white sorts, which went rather above former rates, and
interior and mid kinds at the previous currency—fine
white fetched 64s to 70s, good 62s to 63s 6d, mid 61s
to 61s 6d, 10W 58s 6d to 59s 6d, damp 60s to 67s 6d,
washed 59s to 61s 6d, mid dry grey 56s 6d, low 54s 6d
to 555, common yellow 54s 6d to 555, mid 55s 6d to
57s 6d, damp and washed 53s to 555. Of Madras 173
bags were sold at 47s to 48s for mid brown, and 46s 6d
for damp and washed.
FOREIGN.—There has been an increased desire mani-
fested to purchase Brazil Sugar; the operations have
been upon a large scale in all descriptions at prices
rather above those of this day week. To-day several
cargoes of Foreign Sugar were offering for sale, but at
present only one has found purchasers at 18s 3d per cwt
for brown Bahia deliverable at a Dutch port.
MonessEs.=—Prices are not lower for West India, but
there has been only a limited business transacted at 21s
to 24s per cwt. Holders are not inclined to press sales
at these low rates. East India are still neglected, and
130 casks of Madras at public sales were taken in at 16s
per cwt. The stock of Molasses is still considerably
heavier than it was last year at that period, but prices
rule from 4s to 5s per cwt lower than at that time.
CocoA..--The stock of West India is still diminishing,
indeed, the quantity remaining in first hands is small ;
holders asking rather higher rates, business has been
restricted, and 101 bags of Trinidad at auction were
taken in at 44s to 45s 6d for middling, and 42s per cwt
for low red. Foreign has met with a fair demand, and
very full rates have been paid ; the market is stilt
sparingly supplied;
COCHINEAL.—Prices remain firm, and a good demand
has been experienced by private contract ; 50 bags of
r Honduras at auction fetched 5s 4d to 5s 9d per lb for
middling to fine black. The quantity remaining in im-
porters' hands is unusually small, and is much less than
it was last year at this time. The deliveries are going on
largely.
UOFFE.—The market has been sparingly supplied
with West India Coffee since last Tuesday. A better
demand has prevailed for clean qualities, and the par-
cels disposed of by private contract have been at full
rates ; indeed, middling kinds, which are the most
wanted, in some cases have brought prices that
were not to be obtained previously ; unclean sorts
are, however, still dull of sale, and there are sellers at
comparatively low rates. This afternoon Ceylon Coffee
met with a good demand; 480 bags at auction were sold
at stiff rates—Pea berry at 75s to 85s, fine fine ord pale
Plantation sort 64s 6d to 66s 6d, ragged 55s to 60s,
broken 43s 6d, and sea damaged 50s to 635, triage 15s Gd
to 18s, good ord is held with firmness at 57s to 57s 6d.
The supply is still small of this sort. Mocha was little
inquired for, and 15 bales at auction were taken in at 50s
to 52s per cwt for very common mixed Mysore sort.
TEA.—There has not been so much demand for com-
mon and good common descriptions of Congou, but
holders show firmness, and have obtained full rates ;
sales of the former made at 10id to I Id, and the latter
at 1 lid to is oid per lb ; but the better kinds have
met with increased attention, and large parcels
have been disposed of at stiffer rates ; is o,id to
Is lid paid for but mid rather strong ; Is lid to is 3id
with Souchong flavour ; is 4cl to Is 8d for good strong
blksh leaf; and Is 9d to 2s 6d per lb for fine Pekoe flavor.
There is still nothing pressing for sale. To-day the
purchases made in Tea were upon a small scale, and
rather lower rates were accepted for the lower sorts of
Congou, sales made at 10d to 100 per lb for common
but in the value of other kinds there is no alteration.

SPICES.—For Sumatra Pepper previous [rates are re-
quired, but not much demand has prevailed. Malabar
and Penang are in good request privately, and prices are
firm, the former at 3d to nd per lb : none has been
offered at auction : the demand for white continues ;

holders show firmness, and supply the market sparingly;
sales by private contract made at 4id to 8d per lb. The
market is in a flat state for Cinnamon. Mace at 2s 4d
per lb for low quality. Nutmegs at 3s 2d to 4s 6d
per lb for brown, but export sorts are not much
wanted, and 7 casks of ordinary limed at. auction
were bought in at 4s 6d per lb, duty paid.
This afternoon 103 brls of Jamaica Ginger at public sale
were sold at 31 lOs to 71 13s per cwt ; but 10 casks of
Mace from the .Cape of Good Hope were taken in at
2s 6(1 per lb. In black Pepper a fair business was trans-
acted privately at previous rates ; Cassia Lignea is wanted,
but not much is to be bad ; prices have an improving
appearance.
Farrr.—To-duy holders of Currants were desirous
to sell, but few buyers were to be wee 44* tv 465
