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 tres, 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-
dlings7s 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.
MAURITIUS.—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 ewt; 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 for 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 Gls Gd,
low 59s to 59s 6d, common yellow 53s to 545,
mid 55s Gd to 565, good 57s to 59s Gd, mid grey 57s to
67s Gd ; white, damp, and washed fetched 56s 6d to 60s,
and yellow ditto 51s 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.—There 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 Havannah, and only small parcels have been dis-
posed of ; holders, however, remain fires, and have ob-
tamed 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.
MOLASESS.—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 large one;
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.

have been in good demand at full rates ; all
. other sorts,
however, met with a dull sale, and the prices accepted
show a decline on those previously quote of 2s to 3s per
West COFFEE.

forward—good and fine sorts, of which the principal part
consisted, all found purchasers—fine middling colory
fetched 120 s to 1365, good middling 98s Gd to 108 s ; the
other qualities, were, however, only partly disposed of
—middling at 82s, low middling 72s to 765, fine fine or-
dinary 63s Gd to 70s, fine ordinary 59s to 62a 6d, good
ordinary 53s to 575, low ordinary 49s to 50s ; Triage
26s 6d to 46s ; 103 barrels of Demerara were bought in
ati6Os for fine tine ordinary, 50s for good ord, and 45s
peF cwt for common ; the cause of the lower sorts of
the Ceylon Coffee that are being taken as a substitute.

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 W.( st 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 Gd, fine 463 to 475, and grey 40s
to 42a ; at auction 12 bags Grenada were sold at 42s per
cwt fur common red. In Foreign large purchases have
been prevented in consequence of holders asking stiffer
rates, and 249 bags of i3ahia at auction were taken in at

33s for fine bright red ; in the stotk of all sorts of Cocos
a considerable diminution has taken place of late.
TRA.—The market has still a firm appearance, and
none has been offered at public sale. There has been a
good business transacted in all descriptions, and the im-
proved rates previously established are fully supported.
Congou, common, for cash, has been selling at mid to
11d, good common 11id to is Oid ; Twankay, ordinary, ,
is 2d to Is 3d ; and Pouchong, ordinary to good, 6d to
10d per Ib; of the latter the supply at market is not mn-
cient for the wants of the trade. The quantity of Tea
offering for sale is unusually small.
SPICES.—This afternoon Malabar Pepper was in in-
creased request, and 2,121 bags at public sale were all
disposed of at rather higher rates for the better sorts,
but inferior sustained the previous currency, good half
heavy fetched 3-;d to 3d, grey aid to 31-41, common
' grey 3d to 3id per lb. Of Jamaica Ginger 149
barrels were sold at stiffer rates, and fetched 813 s to
91 for good, and 41 to 7115 s fcr low to middling; 364
cases dry Malabar were mostly sold at 47s to 55s for
bold rather wormy, 35s to 41s for small, and 46s to 503
per cwt for sea damaged. 9 casks of Nutmegs were
all taken in, from New York at 2s 4d, and from Rotter-
dam at 2s 10d, both subject to 3s 6d per lb duty. 22 casks
of Mace, from Sydney, sold at 2s 3d to 2s 4d, from the
Cape of G ood Hope 2s 4d, and from New York 2s 4d per lb.
BUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been a
good demand for Jamaica Rum, and rather higher rates
have been paid for fine qualities ; all other sorts fully
sustained the previous currency ; shippers and the
home trade are still inclined to purchase largely, but
are prevented from so doing by the small supply at
market ; the total purchases are 240 puns, 30 to 36 per
cent over proof fair quality at 3s 8d to 3s 10d, 33 to 36
over, good 4s to 4s 3d, 32 to 34 over fine 4s 5d to 4s Bd,
26 over rather high flavour 4s 2d, and 20 puns very fine
high flavour of a favourite mark 35 per cent over 8s 6d
per gallon : Lcewards are held with firmness, and at former
rates ; several parcels have been sold ; the total sales
amount to 200 puns at 2s 4d to 2s sid per gallon, proof
strength. Demerara has been in steady request at 3s 3d
to 3s 5d for strong qualities. The reluctance of holders
of Calcutta Rum to sell still operates against business ;
sales made at 2s 21d to 2s 3d per gallon, proof with cer-
tificate. The stock of all sorts of Rum is eonsiderably
less than it was last year at this time. Brandy of com-
mon quality has been in good request at 2s lld to
3s 3d per gallon, and the supply is scanty, but
in other sorts there has been little done, and prices are
not so firm : Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1838
selling hhds 5s 3d, puns 5s Id ; do 1839, hhds 5s Id,
puns 4s lld ; do 1840, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; do 1841,
hhds 4s 11d, puns 4s 9d ; do 1842, hhds 4s Bd, puns 4s
Gd, mid to good mid 3s 4d to 4s. 4d per gallon. —The— - 4;4
market is firm-for-Genevii, and the demand for exporta-
tion good at is 10d to is lld ; tine for home consump-
tion is fetching 2s 6d to 3s Gd per gallon. The value of
English Corn Spirits is lOs 4d per gallon cash.
RICE.—The market for Bengal has been in a tranquil
state, and former rates are with difficulty sustained ;
few purchases have been made privately, and a public
sale of 1,366 bags went flatly at los 6d to Ils per cwt
for middling white. Holders are decidedly more in-
clined to sell as the stock is a large one, exceeding that
of last year; prices are 6d to is per ewt
higher than they were at that time. Of Foreign East
India Rice none has been offered at auction, the business
transacted privately was trifling, and holders experience
difficulty in obtaining former rates; Madras yellow is 8s
to 8s 601, Java white 9s to I Is, and yellow 8s 3d to 9s
per cwt. For cleaned Rice prices are still supported,
Patna fetching 13s 6d to 18s, and Carolina 21s to 26s
per cwt.
SAGO.—There are few purchasers of Sago, and price
continue on the decline. Arrowroot is abundant, and
710 pkgs at auction were only partly sold, St. Vincents
at sd, St. Kitts 4d, Jamaica 5d to 71d. East India was
taken in at 3d per lb. For Sago Flour prices remain firm.
FRUIT.—To -day there was very little business trans-
acted in Currants, and prices are looking down ; 40s to
42s is the value of Zante and Cephalonia, and 46s to
48s for Patras. New Muscatel Raisins are hourly ex.
pected. The first cargo of new Valencia will be here in
about two weeks.

SALTPETRE.—There has been less demand for
Rough, which is to be attributed to the sudden and
quiet aspect political affairs have assumed holders
are not so firm, and of 1,978 bags of Calcutta at
auction a very small part only found purchasers at
a decline on former rates of 6d per cwt, mid dingy dry
grey 51 per cent refraction selling at 25s 6d, good and
fine 71 to 4 per cent 26s to 275, and unrefracted 24s ; the
remainder taken in at 26s 6d to 27s for fine strong grey
bold chrystal 41 to 3; per cent refraction ; by private
contract little business has been transacte. English
Refined has moved off slowly at 29s 6d to 30s per cwt.
COCHINEAL—HoIders show firmness, and none has
been offered at auction ; privately some parcels have
been disposed of at fully former rates ; indeed, in some
cases a small advance has been paid. The stock in im-
porters' hands is reduced to a low ebb.
INDIGO.—Tho rates previously established are fully
sustained for all descriptions of East India ; there has
been a good demand from shippers, particularly for
the better descriptions, and several purchases have been
made by the home trade the operations would
be upon a more extended scale, but the market
is still sparingly supplied. The quantity declared for
the Bth of October is 12,534 chests. Of consuming qua-
lities there is likely to be an unusually large assortment,
but very little good and fine, and about 1,200 chests of
Madras and Kurpab. Spanish is held with firmness, and
a fair demand has existed. The market for all sorts of
Indigo has a firm appearance.
OILS —The business transacted in common descrip-
tions of Fish Oils has been upon a small scale only, and
rather lower rates have been taken for all sorts ;
pale Seal selling by private contract at 34/ to 34/ 10s,
Cod at 331 lOs to 341, and at auction 80 tuns of Southern
went at 271 10s to 31/ lOs for mid to fine ; public sales
of the latter are advertised. Sperm, fine British has
been fetching 851 to 86l and American 811 to 831
per ton. Linseed Oil 24s to 24s 3d per cwt.
There is a large quantity at market. Rape Oil, pale at
365, and brown at 35s per cwt. Olive Oil at 451 to 461
for Gallipoli, 42/ to 44/ for Spanish, and Barbary 401 to
41/ per tun. Palm at 27s to 28s per cwt for fine, and
holders show firmness. The demand is increasing
for Cocoa Nut Oil, and prices rule firm at 29s to
30s per cwt. Some parcels are announced for auction.
This afternoon, 80 tuns of Southern Oil, at public sale
were sold at 301 lOs to 31/ lOs for good to fine quality ;
45 tuns of Coloured Seed Oil partly sold at 28/ 10s, and
dark 261 5s to 26/ 10s, but 30 tuns Cocoa Nut Oil were
taken in at 27s 6d to 28s per cwt.
TALLOW.—The public sales went at firm rates, 220
casks of North American fetching 39s 6d to 41s 6d, 476
pkgs South American 34s 9d to 40s, and 144 casks of
New South Wales 34s to 42s per cwt. For Russian
Tallow prices are fully sustained, and several purchases
have been made on the spot ; new P. Y. C. at
41s 9d to 425, and old at 41s to 41s 6d
per cwt ; for delivery a good business has been transacted

PILCHARD FISHERY.
31EvAcrssEY.—The scans shot on Tuesday night last,
ecur

in our E
the week. Several shoals have been
seen braking between Towan Head and Ilawgan Head,

Porth Towan, has taken 300 hogsheads, and the Miners'
scan 50 hogsheads.

ST. IVES.—Several playing shoals of pilchards have

nine or ten days past.

DEER STALKING.—A splendid stag, with the
largest horns we have seen this season, was shot some
days since by Mr. Chearnley, at Auchnahault. The first
bullet which was fired bit the deer at the base of one of
his horns, completely separating it from the head. The
next ball killed him instantaneously. The noble forest
ranger weighed upwards of twenty stones ; length of
antlers, thirty-two inches ; span, twenty.-seven inches,
the top branches curving inwards to sixteen inches ;
girth of antlers, seven inches. At Monar, H. W. White,
Esq., and Mr. Brooke, had two days of fortunate stalk•
in;;, returning with five deer ; and at Guisachan, Mr.
Fletcher killed two fine stags. Sir 11. Aleux, atDun-

some. fipc heads, within the last week, to their eoneo.
