MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of 0ct.18.)
SUGAR.—Since our last report, firmness has charac-
terised the home consumption Sugar market, and there
has been a considerable falling off in the quantity sub-
mitted to public competition. Today, there was no
public sale of any description of Raw Sugar. There
was only a limited business transacted in the West India
market ; but holders were firm, and obtained former
rates. The total purchases for the week are 2,000 hhds
and trcs.
REFINED.—The demand has been limited for Ri fined
goods from the home trade, and more inclination has
been manifested on the part of Refiners to sell, who have
submitted to a reduction on former rates of 6d to Is.
To. day the grocers purchased goods more freely paying
72s to 72s 6d for brown, and 73s to 73s 6d per cwt for
standard lumps. There are not further sellers of bonded
Crushed Sugar under 28s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—There has been more firmness on the
parters this week, and none has been brought to public
sale ; a better demand has prevailed by private contract
for all descriptions, and in some cases the rates paid are
rather above those of the last public aution ; the supply
has become scanty of yellow, and of brown sorts the
quantity at market is much less than has been the case
of late. The stock in the docks is only 534 bags more
than it was last lyear at this time, nearly the whole of
which is held by the dealers. This afternoon some par-
cels were sold privately rather above former rates.
EAsT INDlA.—holders of white Bengal Sugar are less
inclined to realise, and none has been offered at public
sale this week. This afternoon there was a good
deal doing by private contract in white Beak-
gal Sugar, and the rates paid were 6d to Is
per cwt above those of the last public sale ; none was
offered at auction. To-day. Manilla Sugar met, with
attention, but higher rates being asked checked bursiness,
and 2,260 bags at public sale were all taken in above the
value ; low and damp brown at 16s 6d to 16s, wed mid
sound 17s per cwt.
FOREIGN.—YeIIow Havannah is held with firmness,
and there are not sellers but at the improved rates of last
week. With Brazil the market has been better 'supplied,
still there has been less demand, and a decline im prices
of 6d per cwt has taken place. Of 571 chests 92 bags
Bahia, a small part only found purchasers—mi idling to
good greyish brown at lis to 18s 6d, yellow- 19s, and
low to good white 20 to 22s 6d. There is no :alteration
in the value of Porto Rico.
MOLASSES.—The demand is on the increase for West
India ; holders show firmness, and have obtai•Jed former
rates. 250 puns Antigua have been disposed of pi-
