MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 20.)
SUGAR.—For West India Muscovado Sugar there has
been a falling off in the demand this week. The grocers
have purchased most descriptions sparingly, and the
demand for refining purposes has been small.
To-day importers of West India Sugar were desirous to
realise, and submitting to a reduction on former rates
of 6d per cwt for grey, common, midling, yellow, and
brown sorts, tempted grocers and refiners to purchase
largely, and the sales reached 650 hhds ; good and fine
yellow kinds, however, still support former rates. The
total purchases for the week are 2,050 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—Prices have rated firm for all descriptions
of Refined Goods since this day week. The home trade
have purchased extensively, paying 72s 6d for brown
melting lumps, 73s to 73s 6d for brown grocery, 74s 6d
to 76s for standard lumps, 748 to 78s for Tittiers,
79s to 83e for fine ditto, 74s 6d to 84s for
Hambro Loaves, Bss to 90s for double ditto,
and 71s to 73s per cwt for wet lumps. To-
day the refiners could not obtain higher rates for
relined Sugar, but at former terms the home trade pur-
chased freely ; indeed, the market is bare of goods.
Bonded Crushed is much wanted, and prices are firm at
27s 3d to 27s 6d per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was a large public
sale of 9,697 bags. The whole found purchasers, but at
a decline, on the rates of the last auction, of 6d to is
per cwt for brown, common yellow, and refining sorts
but middling, good, and fine yellow fetched full prices ;
fine grey sold sold at 58s to 60s, good 56s to 575, mid
53s tid to 54s 6d, low 52s to 53s ; low brown 42s to 455,

mid 47s 6d to 48s 6d, good and fine 50s to 52s 6cl; low
yellow 53s to 548 6d, mid 55s to 56s 6d, good mid 57s to
58s, good 58s 6d to 59s 6d, fine 60s to 62s ; very fine
Barbadoes kind 63s to 65s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—With Bengal Sugar the market has
been abundantly supplied this week. The trade, how-
ever, have purchased freely, and the parcels offered at
auction, amounting to 9,253 bags, were nearly all dis-
posed of—strong yellow, middling, good and fine white
fetched fully former rates, but all inferior kinds went at
a reduction on last week's prices of 6d to Is per
cwt. Fine strong bright yellow Dobah kind sold at
65s 6d to 665, good 643 to 64s 6d, middling
and good middling 61s to 63s 6d, damp 63s to 63s
Gd, washed 60s to 62s 6d, false packed 66a very fine
sound white 68s 6d to 7s, fine 64s to 58s, good 62s to
63s 6d, middling 60s 6d to Gls 6d, low 58s 6d to 59s 9d,
damp 60s to 67s 6d, washed 59s to 61s 6d, damp brown
44s to 48s, very low 40s to 425, middling dry grey 56s to
56s 6d, low 54s 6d to 555, good middling 57s to 57s 6d,
damp 55s 6d to 56s 6d, washed 50s to 54s 6d, false packed
53s to 555, soft middling yellow 54s to 555, good mid-
dling 55s Gd to 57s sd, low 53s to 525, damp and washed
Sls Gd to 56s 6d, false packed 50s to 535, drainage da-
maged 51s 6d to 54s 6d per cwt—a fair proportion con-
sisted of the better qualities. For Madras Sugar prices
are sustained, and a fair demand exists for the better
qualities. Of Foreign East India Sugar none has been
brought to public sale, and privately their is not much
on offer. Java has fetched lull prices. The market is
still without a supply of Siam.
FOREIGN.—BraziI has been in excellent request pri-
vately, and previous rates are fully supported. Two
floating cargoes of Bahia have been sold for near ports
—one at 18s 3d for brown, and the other at 22s 6d for
white and 18s for brown. The demand has increased
for yellow Havannah, and importers have obtained prices
they could not previously get. For white there has
been a better demand, and prices rule firm ; 300 boxes
of good quality have been disposed of at 30s per cwt.
COFFEE—West India has met with little attention this
week, some holders have been desirous to reduce their
stocks:, and by private treaty cheap purchases have been
made. This afternoon the large quanty of 485
bales, Mocha were offered at public sale, but
the whole was taken in 2s to 3s per cwt
