MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, &larch 22.)
Sucaa.—To-day there was not much activity in the
market for West India Sugar, still rather more business
was concluded at full rates, and grocers are the chief
buyers. The purchases amounted to 355 hhds, &c.,
making for the week 636 ; including at public sale 53
packages Demerara, which sold at 41s to 43s for crys-
talized yellow, and at 38s 6d for brown.
REPINED.—To-day there was scarcely any variation
in the value of refined sugar, but home dealers made
purchases with caution. The market for crushed sugar
is dull, with sellers of British at. 29s to 29s 6d per cwt.
MAURITIUS.--This afternoon the public sales of
6,800 bags Mauritius went off wite more spirit, and at
full rates, indeed, the best yellow sorts were rather
dearer. Toe whole sold—yellow at from 33s to 42s 6d,
brown 30s 6d to 34s 6d, grey 34s to 38s, and grainy
34s 6(1 to 38s.
EAST INDIA—This afternoon there was a more active
sale for Bengal Sugar, and at public aucion 3,670 bags
sold at stiffer rates for white Benares, and at full terms
for other kinds: soft yellow went at 33s to 365, brown
30s to 30s 6d, white Benarea 36s 6d to 40p, and strong
yellow 38s to 41s. Of Madras a small part only sold at
28s to 31s for brown, and at 32s to 36s for yellow, which
re full rates.
FOAZIGN.—At public sale 215 hhds of Cuba were,
however, mostly disposed of, fine and good yellow at
39s 6d to 41s, and middling 38s 6d to 395, but 1,557
chests Havannah were nearly all bought in at 40s to 43s
for low to good yellow; these rates with those of Friday
last. Holders of bonded parcels are reluctant to
make any further concession in the value, and refrained
from submitting any to public sale this week, still ex-
porters have made purchases with caution by private
treaty, and Refiners working under bond are not much
in want of sugar at present. Several parcels of new sorts
will be offered at auction next week.
Mosisses.—A much better demand exists for West
India, and stiffer rates are obtained. The purchases for
the week amount to 500 puns, chiefly at 17s per cwt fer
Barbadoes. There has been more business concluded
in East India Treacle, and few sellers are to be met
with under 14s per cwt; the supply is also less than for
some time past.
COPFZE.—This afternoon the quantity of Plantation
Ceylon Coffee offered at public sale was larger than
for some weeks past, and amounted to 347 casks 597
bags. There was little desire on the part of dealers to
operate, and parcels in second hands were all taken
in. A first-hand parcel of 60 casks 120 bags, how-
ever, was forced of at a further reduction, or at a de-
cline from the highest point of 14a to 16s per cwt; low
and good ord went at 46s 6d to 49a, fine and fine find ord
51s 6d to 52s 6d, low mid 53s to 555, mid 56s to 575, and
one lot of good 60s 6d per cwt. The value of Native is
still 47s to 48s on the spot, but with very few buyers.
This afternoon at public sale 150 bags Para and 500
bags Guayaquil Cocoa were taken in at 303 per cwt.
Cocos.—There are few buyers of Foreign, and the
supply is getting upon a more extended scale. At auc-
tion the sound of 1,024 bags Guayaquil was taken in at
32s for grey, being above the value, but damaged
sold at the reduced terms of 27a to 27s 6d. In the
value of Foreign there is no variation, and none has
been submitted to public sale, but the market is still dull,
and by private treaty operations have been upon a small
scale. The value of red Trinidad is 43s to 48s for low
to fine, and of grey 39s to 43s per cwt. Public sales
will be declared shortly.
Tva—Holders have been more disposed to realize,
ands market has been better supplied. There are
sellers of Congou rather under former rates, buyers have
made purchases with caution, common at 9d to 91d,

per ib, whilst lower rates are expected to exist. Green
Tea has been purchased with caution for all purples,

wanted, and 5d to 8d is the price of low to fine. Cassia

ward tendency. East India is little wanted, and the
general value is now is 4d. Of Demerara a fair quantity,
has been sold at 2s 2d to 2s 6d for 30 to 40
per cent. over proof, still holders appear more disposed
to sell. Only small purchases have been made in
Jamaica for home use or exportation, and larger parcels
are on offer. There are sellers of 20 to 29 per cent. over
proof at 2s 4d to 2s 7d, 30 to 36 over, middling to good
2s Sd to 3s 2d, andZ fine to superior Zs; 3d to 4s
