MARKET
_INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of
SUGAIL—To-day tho business transacted in the West In-
dia Sugar market was extremely limited; although some
merchants were more inclined to sell, only 60 hhds, &c.
were disposed of at a decline of 6d to is per cwt. The total
sales for the week amount to only 540 hhds and tierces.
REFLNHD.—To-day easier rates were again taken for re-
lined goods for home consumption, brown lumps according
to quality, selling at 65s Gd to 655, and standard lumps 66s
per cwt, but at these rates several purchases were made.
Bonded Crushed is again cheaper, 33s Gd to 33s 9d per cwt
having been taken for the best. In Loaves there is a good
deal doing.
MAURITIUS.—There has been less disposition manifested
to purchase this description of Sugar, but holders have shown
firmness and obtained previous rates for the small parcels dis-
posed of by private treaty.
Run. afternoon Bengal Sugar met with little
attention, and at public sale 660 bags went at barely the
former value. Of Penang 594 bags 24 baskets, and 1 cue,
were offered, and went a little cheaper.
Font:Jos.—The market has again been scantily supplied
with Foreign Sugar, but exporters and our refiners working
under bond are cautious in their proceedings, but holders
show firmness, and refrain from pressing sales.
MoLassEs.—For West India previous rates are asked, the
supply. at market being small, but there has been a consi-
derable falling oft in the demand this week, and only small
parcels have been sold. Bengal Treacle is worth 19s to 21s
per cwt, and is wanted. In Honey there has again been a
good deal done, and prices keep on the advance.
SPlCrii.—To -ay the market was well supplied with Cassia
Lignea, and three parcels amounting to 1,812 chests were
brought to auction; the trade evinced little desire to ope-
rate, and a small part only sold at a decline on the rates of
the last auction of Ss to 4s per cwt. Malabar Pepper met
with little attention. Of Nutmegs 3 chests sold, good brown
at 5s 4d per lb. •
C•COA. —British Plantation has been purchased with cau-
tion by private treaty, and former rates have been barely
supported, Trinidad grey selling at 388 to 41s, red 398 to 445,
and superior 45s to 475. None has been offered at auction.
Foreign is little wanted, and prieea are on the decline.
Covrers.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was in excellent
request, and at auction 3,305 bags were all sold at an ad-
vance on former rates of is per cwt; good ordinary bold pale
Native bringing 48s Gd to 49s Gd, one lot 50s, and bold Triage
46s Gd to 47s per cwt. By private treaty several parcels of
Native and Plantation were disposed of.

TEA.—The market has presented a tranquil appearance for
all descriptions this week, there having been further arrivals,
and the stock of Black and Green being large causinc, the
trade to be cautious in their proceedings. Congou of all
kinds has been purchased) with caution, and the rates taken
have been rather under those previously quoted. Pouchong
is however not offered upon lower terms, but there are
not many buyers at present. For Twankav there are not
many buyers. The cheapness of common (japer, however,
has induced the trade to operate with more freedom.
Notwithstanding the low rates at which Hyson is to be
purchased, still the trade operates with caution. Imperial
has been taken with caution. Gunpowder is dull of sale.
Scented Orange Pekoe has been purchased with more free-
dom and prices are frmer, fine bringing 20 10d to 3s. Young
Hyson has been sold to a fair extent. The lower sorts of
Congou are a little cheaper than last year, whilst the better
are much the same as at that time. Twankav is a little
chenp:r than last season, and Hyson, Imperial, and Gun-

powder are 5(1 to is per lb lower.
Fnurr.—Since this thy week there has been a brisker de-
mand for all descriptions : the public sales have been very
extensive. All bought in, but a groat part appears to have
been subsequently sold. By private contract some large
operations are reported to have been made : a par-
cel of new Cephalonia ()tiered at public sale and
bought in at 48s; a portion has been sold pri.
vately below that price. Fine Yalentias are in demand
at 43., and are very scarce. Since this day week 70,000
drums Figs have been offered at public sale, but the greater
part being of inferor quality have been bought in, a few
lots selling from 38s to 645. Imperial French Plums, in car-
tons 100 s to 131 s, halt-cartons 102 s to 1265, quarter cartons
102 s to 1355, eighth cartons 95s to 1325; Prunes, in chests
and half-chests 28s to 30s. A parcel of now Greek Figs, in
cases, were offered and taken in at 325.
SPIRITS.—For all descriptions of Jamaica Rum prices rule
very firm, but the supply at market is small, especially of
the good and fine qualities. There has been a falling off in
the home and export demand this week, and the total
sales amount to only. 250 puncheons, at 3s 7d to 3s 10d
for 29 to 36 per cent. over proof, and small parcels of
better quality at 4s to 53 per gallon. Leeward Island is
wanted, but business has been checked by the scanty supply,
and buyers are compelled to pay 2s 2d to 2s 3d proof
strength. In Calcutta sales have been made at 2s 14(1
to 2s 2d proof with certificate, and the market is still
scantily supplied. Of common Demerara small parcels
have been sold at full prices, strong kinds are wanted and
fetch 33 2d to 3s 6d. The stock of all kinds is still on the
