MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 10.)
SUGAR.—The market for West India Sugar has pre-
sented a healthy appearance since last Tuesday.
To-day there was an increased disposition manifested
on the part of the trade to purchase West India
Sugar ; the demand was brisk for the scale
and pan ; the rates paid were 6d per cwt above
those previously quoted for yellow and strong
grey sorts. All other kinds fully sustained the previous
currency. Of good and fine yellow sorts the supply at
market was insufficient for the wants of the grocers.
The total purchases amounted to the large quantity of
800 hhds and trcs, including a public sale of 150 hhds
of Barbadoes, which went with more spirit, at prices rather
above those of the last auction; fine yellow fetched 63s to
645, good 60s to 625, good middling 59s to 59s 6d, mid-
dling 57s to 58s 6d, and low 56s to 56s 6d per cwt. The
principal part consisted of low and middling sorts. The
market has an improving appearance for nearly every
description of Colonial Sugar.
REFINED.—There has been a brisk demand for
Refined goods from the home trade, and prices are ad-
vancing. The market has been nearly cleared of all
descriptions, being still cheap ; brown lumps have been
selling at 73s to 73s 6d, standard lumps 74s to 74s 6d,
Tittlers 73s to 78s, fine 79s to 83s, llamburgh Loaves
74s to 82s, double ditto 83s to 90s, and wet lumps 71s to
73s per cwt. To-day Refined Goods were in request by
the home trade, and prices are firm at 74s 6d for
standard, and 73s per cwt for brown Lumps ; the
market has still an improving appearance. Pieces of
good and fine quality are much wanted at 68s to 70s per
cwt. Bastards are in increased request at 42s to 57s per
cwt. For Treacle prices are still going up, boiled from
West India Molasses selling at 18s 6d to 19s 6d, and
other sorts at 20s to 265. The market has a firm ap-
pearance for crushed Sugar manufactured under bond,
and at 27s 6d per cwt a good deal is doing for forward
delivery.
Mauarrrus.—There has been a good demand for all
descriptions, and the rates paid show an advance on
those of this day week of 6d per cwt; the supply has
been larger of the better qualities. This afternoon there
was no public sale, but by private contract some parcels
were disposed of at prices rather above those of Friday's
public sale fur yellow kinds.
EAST INDlA.—Former rates are fully supported for
Bengal Sugar, and the grocers have purchased exten-
sively : yellow and the better descriptions of white,
however, are most in request ; 4,197 bags at auction
were all sold, fine white at 64s to 665, good 62s
to 635, middling to good middling 60s to 615 6d,
low 59s to 59s 6d, common yellow 53s to 545,
mid 55s 6d to 565, good 57s to 59s 6d, mid grey 57s to
67s 6d ; white, damp, and washed fetched 56s 6d to 60s,
and yellow ditto 515 6d to 57s per cwt. Dobah sorts
much wanted, but of such the supply is scanty. This
afternoon Bengal Sugar was much inquired for, and the
parcels disposed of privately were at stiffer rates for
white and strong yellow sorts. None was offered at
public sale.
FOREIGN.-Thtro has been no public sale of any
description, but several parcels are declared. Since
Tuesday last, the market has been in a quiet state for
yellow Ilavannah, and only small parcels have been dis-
posed of ; holders, however, remain firm, and have ob-
tained fully former rates. White has sustained the pre-
vious currency, yet the demand has been limited ; large
orders for both sorts are shortly expected. Brazil has
been in good request, but holders have been unable to
obtain any advance in prices. To-day there was more
inquiry for all sorts of Foreign sugar, and full rates were
offered, but at present not much business has been done.
The Dutch Company's public sale of Java Sugar went
off with animation at prices two florins above those of the
last auction.
MOLISESS.—The demand has been limited for West
India, but holders are not inclined to press sales at
existing low rates, although the stock is a largeoirip
prices vary from 20s to 24s per cwt. For East India
there is yet scarcely any demand, and parcels could only
be disposed of but at very low rates.

—fine middling celery

forward—good and fine sorts, of which the principal part
fetched 120 s to 1365, good middling 98s 6d to 108 s ; the
other qualities, were, however, only partly disposed of
—middling at 82s, low middling 72s to 765, fine fine or-
dinary 635 6d to 705, fine ordinary 59s to 62i 6d, good
ordinary 53s to 575, low ordinary 49s to 50s ; Triage
26s 6cl to 46s ; 103 barrels of Demerara were bought in
at 605 for fine fine ordinary, 50s for good ord, and 45s
per cwt for common ; the cause of the lower sorts of
West India being still so difficult of sale, and prices going
down, is to be ascribed to the large quantities of
the Ceylon Coffee that are being taken as a substitute.
This afternoon there was no public sale of any descrip-
tion of Coffee. Ceylon met with attention, and privately
several parcels were disposed of at firm rates, good ordi-
nary fetching 56s per cwt. In Mocha there was rather
more business done at former prices. Jamaica was more
inquired for, but holders could not obtain any advance
on late rates. There are few buyers of Foreign Coffee,
and holders in some instances are more inclined to sell.
Cocoa.--Holders of West India show firmness; and
supply the market sparingly ; some parcels have been
disposed of by private treaty at very full rates ; Trinidad
Red fetching 41s to 45s 6d, fine 46s to 475, and grey 403
to 42s ; at auction 12 bags Grenada were sold at 42s per
cwt for common red. In Foreign large purchases have
been prevented in consequence of holders asking stiffer
rates, and 249 bags of Bahia at auction were taken in at
