MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 27.)
SUGAR.—Previous rates have been sustained for West
India of all descriptions, and' a good demand has pre-
vailed for bright yellow sorts, of which there is only a
moderate quantity still in the market.
To-day there was less inclinatimi shown to purchase
West India Sugar. From Grocers and Refiners the
demand was limited, and the rates accepted were 6d
per cwt under those of Friday for brown and inferior
sorts, but good and fine yellow maintained the former
currency. A public sale of Barbadoes Sugar went hea-
vily at a further decline in price of 6d. per ewt. ; low
yellow at 56s to 56s 6d, mid 57s to 58s, good mid 59s to
60s, good 60s 6d to 61s 6d, and fine 64s to 64s 6d per
cwt ; the trade generally still ontertain a prejudice to-
wards this sort of Sugar.
REFINED.—The market has assumed a firmer appear-
ance for Refined Sugar ; the demand from the Home
Trade has been good, and stiffer rates given. To day
refined goods were in excellent request by the home
trade ; Brown lumps at 735, and standard lumps 74s to
74s 6d per cwt. The market is firm for bonded crushed
Sugars, and there are no sellers under 27s 6d per cwt
for first quality.
MAURITIUS.—A fair demand has prevailed by private
contract, especially for the better qualities, and former
rates are sustained. This afternoon buyers were less
desirous to purchase, and a part only was disposed of,
but full rates were obtained; fine yellow fetched 61s to
635, good 60s to 60s 6d, good mid 57s 6d to 595, mid
54s 6d to 56s 6d, low 53s to 545, fine brown 52s to
52
per cwt. and ord 48s to 49s 6d

rather higher rats. This afternoon 572 bags of Bengal
Sugar were offered at auction ; nearly the whole was
damaged, and of low quality, and was chiefly taken in ;

rates. For Hyson 2s 5d to 2s 6d per lb. is
the value of common quality. In Young Hyson and
Caper more business has been transacted, and prices
have an upward tendency. For Black and common
Green Tea prices rule under those of last season, but for
fine sorts they are rather above those of that time. To-
day several parcels of Tea were sold at firm rates ; sound
common Congou, cash, is not to be purchased under
I Id per lb.
SPlCES.—lmporters of Cassia Lignea are still anxious
sellers, and have submitted to a reduction on previous
rates of is to 2s per cwt. Nutmegs have met with more
attention, and full rates paid. Singapore fine bold brown
at 5s 2d, good 3s 8d to 3s 9d, good middling 3s 6d to 3s
7d, middling 3s 4d to 3s sd, low middling 3s, and worm-
eaten 6d to Is ld. Mace, Singapore fine bright

small part for exportation only was, however, taken in
at is per lb for low old. Cloves have fallen 2d per lb,
Penang at 2s 5d to 2s 7d for fine bold bright, and 23 to
2s 3d for good. Black Pepper is held for the former
value. Cinnamon 2d to 3d per lb above those of the last
quarterly sale.
RlCE.—lmporters of Bengal are not inclined to sub-
mit to any further decline in prices, and have refrained
from offering any at public sale. This afternoon there
was a limited demand only for Bengal Rice, and 1,183
bags at auction were partly disposed of, but full
prices were obtained ; mid pearly white went at lOs 6d
to I Is, good mid lls to lls 6d, sea damaged first class
lOs 6d to I Is, second and third ditto 7s 6d to 10s, sea
damaged and repacked 8s 6d to 9s, Indigo ditto lOs 6d
tp lls 6d ; the remainder was taken i❑ at 12s to 12s 6d
for fine bold sound white, and lls 6d to 12s per cwt for
good, being above the value ; fair market rates were
offered.

Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—AII descriptions of
Jamaica Rum are much wanted, and further improved
rates have been paid, but, in importers hands, there is
little undisposed of. Leeward Island Rum, at 2s 41d to
2s 5d per gallon, proof. Demerarnat 3s 5d to 3s 7d for
fine quality 36 to 41 per cent overproof. Calcutta at
2s 21d to 2s 3d per gallon, proof strength. Brandy is
firm in price, and a fair demand has existed. Cognac,

Leewards 2s 5d to 2s 51d per gallon.
Cocoa.—There has been a brisk demand for West
India, and a further advance in prices of is to 2s per
cwt has taken place. This afternoon West India was
sought after, and some parcels have been disposed of
privately at firm rates ; 41 bags 18 brls Trinidad at auc-
tion went at an advance on the rates of the last auctions
of Is per cwt, and sold at 42s to 43s for mid red, 40s
for low, and 37s for very low grey.
INDIGO.—The market is firm, and a good export de-
mand still exists for all descriptions. This afternoon
Spanish Indigo was wanted, but higher rates being
asked checked business, and 137 serons of Guatemala at
public sales were all withdrawn 2d per lb above the
value.

COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was an increased
demand for Cochineal; at auction 40 serons Honduras,
and 31 bags Vera Cruz were offered, and nearly the
whole sold at full rates ; the former, fine bold silvers at
4s I Id to ss, low to good black 4s 10d to 5s 8d; the latter
at 4s 6d to 4s 7d for mid silvers rather damp, 4s 10d to
4s I Id for low and mid blacks. •
SALTPETRE—There has been a much better demand
for Rough, and the rates paid are on a par with those of
this day week Calcutta, middling grey 201 per cent.

Oms.—Although the market has been largely supplied
with Southern Oil, still former rates are fully sustained,
and a good demand has prevailed ; 128 tuns were all
disposed of at and after the public sale ; first quality at
30/ 5s to 31/, second do 291 lOs to 291 15s, third do
281 lOs to 29/, and black 26110 s to 271 108 per tun. Seal
341 lOs to 35/ per tun for pale, being 5s to 10s cheaper ;
a small parceika brown Seal at auction fetched 2615 s per
tun. Cod Oil 33/ lOs to 341. With Sperm the market
has been better supplied ; British of first quality
at 841 15s to 83/, not so well spermed 82/ 15s,
two lots of very inferior 70/ to 73/ 10s, and
Headmatter of first quality 901 to 911 15s per tun. For
common Fish Oils prices are rather lower than they were
last year at this period, but considerably higher for
Sperm. Linseed Oil is 6d per cwt cheaper, and the sup-
ply is getting large, at 24s 6d to 25s per cwt. This af-
ternoon prices were firmer for Southern Oil, and at pub-
lic sale 381 casks, equal to 300 tuns, were sold at 31/ lOs
to 32/ 5s ; 40 cask of Sperm Oil sold at 791 to 801 for
American, one lot very low 70/, and Headmatter 901 5s
to 90/ 15s per tun.
TALLow.—Prices are still improving for Russian
Tallow on the spot ; a good demand has prevailed, and
41s 6d to 42s are the current rates paid for
P. Y. Candle of first quality. Tallow at 40s 6d
to 41s nett cash. The public sales of Tallow
went at rather higher rates ; 456 casks of New
South Wales fetched 36a to 42s 3d ; 99 casks of
Taganrog 38s 6d to 40s 3d ; 419 casks South American
35s to 39s 6d; 56 casks fine Odessa Sheeps 40s 3d to

DR. WOLFF'S IMPRISONMENT AT
BOKHARA.
Captain Grover has communicated to us the fol-
lowing account of Dr. Wolff's imprisonment at
Bokhara :
The last letter written by Dr. Wolff, while at
liberty, was written at Bokhara, on the 16th of
April, before he entered the city. Ile had no writing-
paper, and this letter is written upon scraps torn
from his memorandum-book. A. Turcoman had
just arrived from Merv, bringing him a lamb as a
present, and he took advantage of his return to send
a few hurried lines. He is surrounded by people of
Bokhara, Kokan, and Taschkand, and, therefore,
says his information may be depended upon. He
trembles somewhat for Stoddart and Conolly, for they
are not seen at Bokhara, and the person alluded to
in M. de Ghersi's dispatch, he has ascertained to be
a Persian, and the European young man with him is
an Italian watchmaker, named Giovanni. However, he
says, "nobody has witnessed th,
