MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 23.)
SUGAR. -The trade hare been desirous to purchase West
India Muscovado° Sugar since Tuesday, and have willingly
paid previous prices. To-day the quantity of West India
Sugar on show consisted chiefly of brown and dingy yellow de-
scriptions : for these the demand was limited, but holders were
firm, and obtained previous rates ; good and fine bright yellow
however met with a ready sale at the prices of Friday, and the
quantity at market was far from ample for the wants of the
trade.
REFINED.-To-day sales to a fair extent were made in Re-
fined Goods for home consumption : standard lumps could not
be had under 765, and brown grocery 755 per cwt. The mar-
ket is flat for Bonded Crushed Sugar at 25s 9d, per cwt for
first quality. Loaves have met with a free sale at former quo-
tations.

Al °La. ss Es.-West India at previous rates. Bengal Syrup

COFFEE..-For West India rather higher prices have been
again paid. Mocha has been taken sparingly, and prices have
declined 2s to 3s per cwt. This afternoon there were no pub-
lic sales of any description of Coffee. Ceylon met with atten-
tion, and privately several parcels were sold at 63s 6d to 64s
per cwt for good ordinary, upen these terms the chief holders
will not realise. Mocha met with a better demand, middling
to good middling yellow at 67s to 745, and long berry 75s to
95s per cwt. For ordinary and good ordinary qualities of

offered.

TE A . -The large public sales which commenced last Tues-
day were brought to a conclusion yesterday ; the attendance of
the trade has been good throughout. Importets of black Tea
at these sales having in almost every instance been desirous to
sell, occasioned the demand to be very large for all qualities,
and the chief part offered has been actually sold, the trade con-
sidering it advisable to get into stock at existing moderate
rates. The Congou was principally of fair quality. Green
Tea throughout the sales was held with firmness, the supply
being unusually small. To-day some parcels of Tea were
sold privately at t!.e rates established at the public sales.

Pepper has met with ready buyers, and the tendency of prices
is upwards. White has been in increased demand, and prices
are firmer, Cassia Lignea, low and middling qualities, have
brought an advance of is to 2s per cwt on the rates of the last
public sale ; the better sorts have fully maintained the previous
value. East and West India Ginger of good qualities have
brought better prices, and inferior sorts fully previous rates.
