MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Loxdon New Price Current of Oct. 4.)

SUGAIL—To-day the market for Colonial Sugar pre-
sented a firmer appearance; buyers of West India Sugar
came forward more freely, and a large business was
transacted in all descriptions at previous rates—indeed,
in some cases, a small advance was paid. The quantity
sold amounted to 850, making the total purchases for
the week 2,100 lihda and trcs. The market closed with
a firm appearance.
REFINED.—There has been less activity in the market
for Refined Sugar this week, but in the value little
change has taken place, the supply being small, parti-
cularly of low and middling descriptions ; there has,
however, been a fair business transacted, and a large
consumption is going on. To-day there was a better
demand for the low and middling descriptions of Refined
goods, and former rates were fully supported. Bonded
crushed Sugar is still much wanted.
_ _

MAURITII7B.—There has been less demand this week,
and the market haring been abundantly supplied with
brown sorts, a decline in the value of is to 2s per cwt
has taken place ; yellow kinds are 6d per cwt cheaper.
excepting fine, which has sustained the former currency,
the quantity at market being small. This afternoon
more inclination was shown to purchase, and some par-
cels were sold privately at full but not at better prices.
EAST INDlA.—Tbere has been a very large quantity
of Bengal Sugar brought forward this week, and it "has
proved more than sufficient for the wants of the trade.
White and strong yellow sorts have been less in
request, but previous rates are supported ; inferior
yellow 'and brown, of which the supply has chiefly
consisted, have met with a dull sale at a
decline on former prices of is to is 6d per cwt. This
afternoon there was a largo public sale of Manilla
Sugar ; the whole sold at rather higher rates ; low
damp dark brown went at 15s to 16s, washed 14s, mid
sound grey 19s to 19s 6d, good 22s 6d, damp 18s 6d to
19s, washed 16s 6d to 18s 6d per cwt. Bengal was in
better demand, and 990 bags at public sale were all sold
at full rates ; fine white fetched 65s good 61s 6d to
62s 6d, mid 60s 6d, low yellowish white 58s 6d to 59s 6d,
damp and washed 57s 6d to 645, low date sound yellow
51s to 53s 6d, mid 54s to 56s 6d, damp and washed 50s
to 55s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To.day all sorts of Foreign Sugar were
much inquired after, but a further advance in price being
asked tended to check business ; a cargo of white Bahia
afloat per /termini containing 400 chests were sold at
23s per cwt.
Moulsts.—For West India there has been rather
more demand this week, and previous rates are sup-
ported. Sales of Antigua made at 22s 6d to 24s per
cwt. Importers are not so desirous to press sales, al-
though the stock is still a very large one. East India
Molasses are still dull of sale, at 14s to 16s per cwt.
SAGO.—Although there are sellers upon lower terms,
and the stock is small, still the demand has been limited '
by private contract at 12s to 14s for low to mid, 15s to
